0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 3>with boiled eggs.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Boiled eggs.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cut it in half, you drop it in the water.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>With it boiled, so there's cooked.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 2>We put the boiled egg in here.

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, Yeah, I've seen different ramen with eggs. I

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've seen it with the fully cooked

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>egg in it. So yay for you for giving it

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>something different. I was telling your publicists, like, you know,

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>can she come with something different? But while you go

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>ahead and start cooking the noodles and eggs or do you?

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Or I guess you could put the eggs in hun.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Now, yeah, I can put the eggs in first. You

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 3>gotta take them eggs, just drop them in there.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Just make sure that water ain't too hot? Now is

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it hot? Is it warm? Ah?

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Not a water cool? Is hell, why want to crak

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that bad boy up a little bit?

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>So take me back to what was going on in

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the era of ramen and egg.

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Rawmen and egg started off, or when I was in college.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 3>I went to Eastern Michigan University, Okay, and you know

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, you just bad a budgeting money. Yeah,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>and then also rawmen noodles was popular. Just it was

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 3>like the era of Roman noodles for us, you think.

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So, I feel like everyone at some point has the era.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>When you go through the phase of ramen noodles, you've

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>come up with every hack on how to make it

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>creatively your own ramen noodle.

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, And I feel like back when I was

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>eating it in college that was two thousand and five

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>to two thousand and eight, I was eating ramen noodles.

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 3>It was it was it was a trendy. It was trendy.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Everybody was eating ramen noodles. We didn't care about nutritional facts.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>See all of that vegan stuff and that's new stuff.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people don't.

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Understand that being vegan and vegetarian. You heard of people

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 3>that did it. But back in the day, if somebody

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>was vegan, you was like, oh, they just gay.

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm just.

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Joking, but but it just wasn't popular.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 3>So now back in the day, people just ate ramen

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>noodles and stuff like that. And it was just like

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 3>the thing you went to when you were in college, boy,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 3>because what happened is that you would get your college

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 3>card and on that card, once you run up that money,

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 3>you had to learn how to survive past that. Because

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>when you first get your money, you going, you eating

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 3>that pizza, You going to Buffalo Wild Wings, you getting, oh,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 3>you want some wings?

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I get get fifty wings on my car.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 3>And then it comes three four months later you realize

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 3>you swiped that card and it's like decline, You like,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>let me go on over to the store and get

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 3>some raw men nodles exactly.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I still I hate to admit this, but I make

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>jokes with my girlfriends. I'm like, you catch me at

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the top of the month, I'm breaded up. By the

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>end of the month, I don't know. We can't do

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing yet, go nowhere. By the end that count was solo.

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But did you know when you were in college that

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you were gonna do comedy? Like? What were you in

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>college for?

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I went to college college for a chemistry degree and chemistry.

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, chemistry, yep, that's a farm.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm good at math and science. Those are my my

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 3>things that I'm good at. So you know, I'm more

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>left brain, business savvy and stuff like that. So I

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 3>went to college for chemistry and then I dropped out

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 3>ten credits short of a chemistry degree, and I worked

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 3>at a pharmaceutical company internship, and then I didn't like it.

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, let me go ahead and move

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>to LA and become actress.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Now you come from two parent household, single parent, can

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you give me a little backrou.

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>So my parents were teenage parents.

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 3>My mother got pregnant at sixteen, had me a week

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 3>after her seventeen birthday. My dad was nineteen, and I

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 3>was like, well, that don't make it. My mom was like,

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 3>I was like, that sound a little statutory rape. And

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 3>she's like, don't talk about your daddy like that. She

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 3>was like, back in the day, it was something called

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 3>the Romeo and Juliet law.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>So long as they will. She had three years, she

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>had three years. Okay, you no, she still got his

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>last name.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>They've been divorced over twenty years, but they're still tight.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they still cool. We all went on vacation to

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Columbia last year. My mom still has the last name.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 3>She said she just liked it better. It had a

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>better rein to it. Springs. And so my parents were,

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, together for some years, and I think when

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 3>I was probably like three, they got married, stay married

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 3>for about three years, maybe four, and then they divorced

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 3>and I stayed with my dad for a while for

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 3>some years, and then I went to go live with

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 3>my mother. As I got a little older, because my

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>dad had more kids, I was like, I don't I

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 3>don't feel like sharing with all these kids. My mama

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 3>just had me. So oh you like, yeah, I like

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>living a good life.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't like.

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't like when they started when you the more

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.919
<v Speaker 3>kids you have, the more you have the budget.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>When when my daddy was like, it's time to budget.

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 3>We can't eat steak no more at home, I was like,

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>I think I go live with my mama, could.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Go back to living the regular life that I like

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>to live.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So from like three or four, you lived with him

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>till like seven.

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>No, No, my parents were married and then once they divorced,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I live with my father.

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>So did you run from seven?

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Actually? Consciously say, hey, Mom, I'm gonna go with daddy.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>My mom said that she was like she was trying

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>to find settle herself and work and stuff like that,

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 3>and she said she didn't want to leave me with anybody,

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>and my dad was responsible enough to keep me, you know,

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 3>because my dad was there to take me to school,

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 3>to pick me up from school. We went fishing every day,

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>so deep fishing, so we were fishing there.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>We have such a really good background that I don't

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>think if we were just standing on the outside, we

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>would never know, like chemis street fishing.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was on the golf team in high school.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people would never know these things about me.

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I came from a family of love too.

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize that until I became an adult and

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 3>realized being around other people. Is that a lot of people,

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 3>not a lot of people, but some people are raised

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>up on survival. And when you raised up with parents

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>that love you and always there with you and stuff

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 3>like that and spend time with you, Like me and

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 3>my mom used to go to piston games.

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 3>We were always going to taste festival and festivals and

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that. Like my mom said, anybody that her

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 3>friends knew. If I couldn't come along, she wasn't going.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, my mom didn't work, no two or three jobs.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>She had one job back in the day, and she

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 3>spent time with me when she was, you know, in

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 3>between works.

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>She worked while I was like in school. Basically, so, yeah.

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I like to hear that. Yeah, so you go

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 1>to school, you decide to leave school and trek it

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to la. How do your parents receive the news of

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>you saying no to chemistry and science and math.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, my dad is a chemist, so he was just like,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 3>he said, you you only live once, he said, basically said,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, college will never go anywhere. He said, It'll

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>still be there. Said, if you go out there for

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 3>a year or two and don't like it, I'll still

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>be here. You can always come back, he said. But

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 3>what happens if you stay here end up meeting somebody

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>having kids, and you just getting farther and farther away

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 3>from your dreams. And my mom's supportive. You know, I've

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 3>never been the type to make bad decisions or be

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 3>like a child that you had to worry about a lot.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>So when I say I want to do something and

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 3>my family rallies around it. So when I moved to

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 3>la I moved with my grandmother in Inglewood. She had

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>a two bedroom. My little cousin had just went back

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 3>to go live with her mama. So my grandma said,

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 3>it's a twin size bed in there, and she said,

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 3>you just need to get a little TV. So I

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>got a little TV, moved in with her and her

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 3>husband Inglewood.

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure that made your parents feel a lot

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>more better about you.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I wasn't here by myself. My mother said

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 3>she was glad I wasn't by myself. So being in

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going back to her home, you know, California, I'm

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>not by myself. So I don't know if I could

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 3>have moved to California just by myself.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, you were still how old were you that night?

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Twenty When I moved here, I was twenty one and

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 3>I moved with ten thousand dollars?

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I was working at the casino in Englewood.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 3>No, I was working at the casino in Florida in

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Coconut Creek, and it was a casino there, and this

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 3>older Jewish guy used to come in there and he

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 3>would give me five hundred dollars for a cup of coffee. Oh,

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 3>just to talk to him for a few minutes, just

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 3>regular conversation. It was a lot of regulars in there

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 3>that were wealthy people, and they would they had certain

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 3>girls that they liked and just wanted the company, you know.

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 3>But this man was about in his fifties and he

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 3>would just give me five hundred dollars for a cup

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.479
<v Speaker 3>of coffee. In three weeks, I say, five thousand dollars.

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 2>And then I was just like I had a little

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.319
<v Speaker 2>extra other money.

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Somebody here, you were already good with money. You make

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>this move and you decide you want to get into

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you said acting.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Or I wanted to move here to get into the industry. Okay,

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 3>you know how you just don't know. I was like,

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 3>let me go out there and just see whatever I

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 3>get drawn into. And ten months later I got drawn

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>into stand.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:17.000

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 2>So, Am I making enough for two or just one? No?

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Two?

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>You're feeding both of us, Okay, But luckily I ate

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>before we started taping, so I'm not gonna be as

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>hard pressed. I'm really excited to hear your story. Oh

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:33.920

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>So here, I'll take that. Everyone can hit a crunching

<v Speaker 1>on theh.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 3>And you see how see how people like I'm not

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 3>touching the actual roman because some of y'all don't be.

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Washing y'all hands. Oh yeah, y'all here just touching stuff.

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why we keep the sanitizer on the on the sea.

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Wonder why everybody got a colim h.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>So you're out here? What springs the ten month? Oh

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, I have an epiphany. This is what I

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>want to do. What happens?

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>So it was my ex boyfriend.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 3>So my boyfriend in college was like, hey, I have

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 3>a friend out there, LeVar. He said, why don't you

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 3>connect with him? Is somebody else we knew in college

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>but they were a little bit older than me.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>So I hit up LeVar.

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 3>LeVar was a school teacher out here, and I would

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 3>hang out with LeVar and LeVar had a friend, and

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't all the time, but it was just somebody I.

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Could hang out with.

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Have a friend out here, buddy, you know, very safe,

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 3>not trying to hit on me or try to you

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 3>know whatever, just that he's looking out for his friend's friend,

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 3>right because that's my ex boyfriend, but looking out for me.

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>So he had a friend that came over there, this

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 3>guy named Elijah that was from Detroit as well, or

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>probably Ohio one of those states. I'm not for sure,

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 3>because when you go to college in Michigan, it could

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 3>be people from anywhere in that Midwest area. So you know,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Elijah was coming over and he was doing a Brager

0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>show and the Bringer show.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Acting.

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 3>When you first started comedy, you do a lot of

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 3>breaker shows. That's where you have to bring ten ten

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 3>people to get stage time. So I was like, yeah,

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 3>that's for me. That looked good, you know. I said,

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 3>can I go up? He said yeah, if you can

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 3>bring some people here, you go up. I said, all right,

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.839
<v Speaker 3>and I gathered my My grandmother used to come to

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 3>all my shows. She's eighty now, so that had to

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 3>be she had to be like in her sixties.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 2>She would come with her little my girlma got to shake.

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, she come with her wig child and she'll

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>sit in the front row get roasted. And but she

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 3>she was as long as I pay for a little

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 3>two drank minimums. She give her a little two SIPs

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 3>of drinks and she'll be fine, and she would come

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 3>to the shows. That was one person down, so I

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 3>had to get other people, you know. But you know,

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I just started from there and I did comedy for

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe like a year and a half, and then after

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>that I quit for I think about two years, maybe.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Two to three years. Why did you quit because it

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 2>was tough.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 3>I think, especially like being a female comic, when you

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 3>first get started, it can be a little rough in

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 3>the man's world, and then you're kind of dealing with

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 3>low tier comedians when you first get started, like people

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 3>who have no common courtesy and respect, think they can

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 3>say whatever the people or joke any type of way.

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 3>I think that as you go up in the game,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:19.440
<v Speaker 3>you develop a little more hopefully professionalism.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>You see what I'm saying.

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so now you're spending times in the bars, the bars,

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 3>the bars, the bars, that's where you're gonna do stand

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 3>up at when you first get started. Then you develop

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 3>to the clubs. With the clubs, the clubs have certain

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 3>type of people get etiquette, people get a little more

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 3>a little more professional. People can still be unprofessional at

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>every level. But the more you move up, hopefully the

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 3>more professionalism, and I think the funnier you get, the

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 3>more you get with.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>People just respect.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, did you have to deal with, like, I know,

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>different aspects of the industry women have to deal with,

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>like guys constantly trying to get with them and all that.

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you have to deal with a lot of that?

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I deal with a little bit of it, but

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can.

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I had a boyfriend ex boyfriend, like he'll fight anybody.

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 3>But you know, but you also don't want to be

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>known as a person that's going around starting ship. But

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 3>it's just some people that could be really on some bullshit.

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot of lower back touching, long creepy hugs.

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like, yo, chill out, brot high.

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, come up from it.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that from a distance.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 3>I think you guys were messing around just from the distance,

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 3>and people don't understand how things look in.

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>The distance, right.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 3>It even feels sometimes inappropriate while you in the in

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 3>the moment, but even from the distance, it looks like

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 3>people are putting claims on you.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't like that.

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>No, I wouldn't like that. We may have to check

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on the ramen before it becomes mashed potato.

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Sound like you cook?

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I do cook. I'm like, yo, that ramen is definitely

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be muss. You may want to turn it off, you.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Know what, I'm gonna turn it down because it's still

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, you got to change it up.

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think how often do you cook?

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Probably like three four times a year.

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were gonna say, a week, how are

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you eating?

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the road, I'm out, I'm eating out.

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 1>But that's it's nowadays. It's a lot.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's to the point people know me from

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 3>restaurants and know my order already.

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Like you'll pull up, you'll be like, it's dam neat

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and they got your order done in twenty minute.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 2>To see you.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 3>That's what they say, so you want to it's bad

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 3>when they be like, you don't even have to say

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 3>your order. Because I'm the habit of creature, a creature.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I eat the same thing all the time, so I

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 3>ain't changing up too much. So when I like to

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 3>eat good this week so far, I've ate eating at Boa.

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>BoA's expensive three.

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Hundred dollars I spent there and then last night I

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 3>was at Kazana, so I like to eat out. People

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 3>say what your little vices is? You may not see

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.359
<v Speaker 3>it on me, but because it's in my stomach.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>You're hilarious. My only vice is expensive cars, oh for real?

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>But how I literally know? I just switch up like

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>every two or three years. I'm not one of those

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>people that own multiple cars at one time, but you know,

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>if my bank account grows up, don't ever think I

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>won't be that girl that has the Lamborghini yours and

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, escalate or something. I have to have an

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>expensive one car. It's just my cars. I can't do

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't make any sense. But like I would

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>never do like a Ford or Toyota, Honda, I don't

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 1>care how sexy those cars look. At times they put

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>out some sexy cars, I'll be like, what is it

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>is a Honda? No, no, sorry, and I don't care.

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>And they've been improving their looks. Nissan at one point

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>had some nice looking cars. I said, but it's a Nissan,

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>so no thank you.

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>See.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I like to be like, okay, what can I afford here? Okay,

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 3>I can afford that, go down the level?

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>No see, And I always do the top of the model.

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Like when I got my new car, I called them

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and I said, where's the massagers in this? In the

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the car seat had massages and the massagers weren't massaging.

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>And the guys were like, well, when you ordered it,

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>it didn't have it on the order, And I said, bullshit.

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the top model. And I was like, is

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>there a topper model than this? And they're like no,

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, so then the massagers go in

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the seats. Nonetheless, I am that person like it has

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to be the time.

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I just have to have seat warmers.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, I also have to have the steering reel warmer.

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I also have to have the little alert on the mirrors,

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the little you know, blind side alert.

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you like the thing where they put the speed

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 3>of the car in the windshield?

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I hate it.

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that.

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Even if it is on my car, I would take

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it off.

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't like that. I also don't like the

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lane control. I don't like that. I always turn that off.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Some features are too much.

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Even though you could turn that off, you can.

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sometimes I've almost got an accident because I don't

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>hate well in case progressive it's watching. It's always used

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 3>by signal, but if you don't use your signal for

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the people out there who don't use their signal that

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I've driven in the car with that was the passenger. Yeah,

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't like how the car would jerk you back

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 3>into your lane. I've already made a decision. Bro, we ride,

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 3>you don't drive me.

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I drive you.

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>No, you could definitely tout it off. Anytime I feel

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>my car do that, I'm like, I'm someone must have

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 1>hit it. But yeah, I turn that. That is an

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>ultimate get off my car thing.

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 3>In New York, people ran into the back of my

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 3>car a total of four times.

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 2>No, they just riding. They always trying.

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>To get too close to you. Okay, my twin, I

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know. My twin has like, yes, I have a

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>fraternal oh yeah, so, but my twin in the last

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 1>year has gotten in quite a couple of accidents, and

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting to.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Think I accident.

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get it because she's never the causer. But

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, girl, like, what's going on? Like do they

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.120
<v Speaker 1>need to put like, you know, orange caution around your car?

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how sound I definitely, I just don't

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>get it. So anyways, going back to what made you

0:17:53.920 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>actually take the step back, Uh, just.

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Just it was somebody I was a manager I wanted

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to sign when he was like, well, have you ever

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 3>thought about stand up? Because I swear back in the day,

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 3>when you were an actor and people would see you,

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 3>they'd be like, well, do you know, stand up seems

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 3>like a faster track into acting. And so I tried

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 3>that and I got ended up getting back into it

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.160
<v Speaker 3>and just just building some thicker skin.

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And were you working jobs while you were doing comedy?

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>I would say.

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 3>When I first moved here, I immediately joined sag After

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 3>within the first month.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 2>And then I was.

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I thought you have to earn it.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, back in the day you could just buy

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>your way into After.

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, So I immediately joined after within the first month.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.959
<v Speaker 3>So I would do background on sets. And when you

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 3>were background on the set, if you were after, you

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 3>made a minimum of twenty dollars an hour.

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>So I would do that.

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's like when I first within the first year

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.439
<v Speaker 3>I came out here, I had built myself up by

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.720
<v Speaker 3>the end of the year to like, you know, four

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 3>or five thousand a months just in background working. Because

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, you know, years before the pandemic,

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 3>you would be on set for twelve hours, maybe sixteen hours,

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 3>and once it was over eight hours, it went into

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 3>time and a half. And then after twelve hours of

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 3>winning to double So we would be on set all day,

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 3>just sitting around, talking whatever, playing cards, reading books, being

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 3>on your phone. Then you go on set and you

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 3>work a little bit, you come back and then I

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 3>got into the commercial world, and commercials were paying like

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 3>three twenty three for eight hours, and then you would

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 3>get the overtime and all the smoke bumps and stuff,

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 3>so it paid up. And so how I ended up

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 3>becoming SAG is because SAG you had to get three

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 3>vouchers to get into that, and I ended up being

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 3>an extra on House.

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you remember that show.

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 1>First.

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I loved House.

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Shoutouts.

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 3>House was so good that show, Yeah, okay, And the

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 3>guy asked me the ad was like, hey, are you

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 3>are you SAG?

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I said no.

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 3>He said I'll bring you back every day until you are,

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 3>and he gave me three vouchers and then I joined

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 3>SAG because I had the money, and so yeah, I

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.120
<v Speaker 3>would just always earn money back and forth. With that,

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 3>and that was for maybe like the first I would say,

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 3>three and a half years.

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>And then you're also doing you after you get through

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the sag after and you get fired from is it

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>House Central Casting? Central?

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Central Casting?

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 2>And yet you know that that's the mecca out in

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles.

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>A baby can fire you.

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought it was submits you for jobs, so

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 3>they can just tell you they're no longer submitted.

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 2>But I believe Tiffany Haatis got fired from there, too,

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't she.

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, it could be a good thing

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.160
<v Speaker 3>that they fire in certain people. They fire Brad Pitt too,

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 3>if I'm not mistaken.

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 1>If that's the case.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Stars that they got rid of, and it's just like, yeah.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good. So you get let go and you

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>see it as a blessing in disguise, Yeah, of course,

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and then what's your next move?

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Next move is say, you know what, I'm going to

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Vegas work the casinos during the summer, come back, and

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 3>now I have money to actually I started back doing

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 3>stand up, so now I have money to actually be

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 3>able to submit to like colleges and stuff. Because when

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 3>you do colleges, you go there and you perform in

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 3>front of the students, but you have to pay you

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 3>how to get your flight, your hotel, and then it's

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 3>like a little small fee or whatever to actually showcase.

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I thought the colleges paid, you pay the college.

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 3>No, the colleges pay you once you get the gig.

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 3>But they have showcases. It's called you know, I can't

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 3>remember what it's called, Naka Naka.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what you do, the showcase and then the pick

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and then they start.

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 3>So it's a feat to do the showcase, and then

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 3>colleges from all over are there, depending on the region.

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 3>So if you make it into Naka Naka Midwest, then

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 3>all the Midwest colleges will be there and you perform

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 3>in front of the showcase and then the college you

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 3>booked you. So then I started doing that and then

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty fourteen I called my mom.

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 2>She said, what you got going on? I said, you know,

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. She was like, do you have a

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 2>plan B. I said no, I don't have no plan B.

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 2>This's it.

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 3>This gotta work. We all in I like. She said, okay,

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 3>well you got to be more aggressive.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I said.

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she said, she said, I know you you timid.

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 3>You not talking to people, you're not networking whatever. So

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm at the laugh Factory Ian Wass Cat Williams. Oh good, yeah.

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 3>And so he was up he was upstairs, and it's

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 3>this guy who was on the road with him, Big Wheezy.

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Big Wheezy is probably six hundred pounds.

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh big, he's big.

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 3>He got the stairs and it was like no way

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 3>to get around him. But I found this tiniest spot

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 3>and squeezed around him because he always make jokes of

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 3>this story because his big ass walking upstairs, taking up

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.399
<v Speaker 3>the whole steps in the back of the Laugh Factory,

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 3>going up the steps, there wasn't no two people. Two

0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 3>people could normally go up and down there. Not with

0:22:58.880 --> 0:22:59.399
<v Speaker 3>Big Wheezy.

0:22:59.440 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just him.

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 3>So he going up the steps and I find a

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 3>little spot, squeeze in front of him, run over the cass,

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 3>like hey can I can I get some shows on

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 3>the road with you? He said, are you funny? I said,

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, yeah, yeah, I am lying.

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I was lying.

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:13.919
<v Speaker 1>You didn't think you were funny at the time. I

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 1>was okay, okay, yeah, But that's what anybody would say,

<v Speaker 1>can I get some shows with you?

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 2>He said yeah, he said yes, Big Wheezy, give him

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>your number. I said, okay, so I gave Big Weezy.

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:30.840

<v Speaker 2>Big Wheezy follow up? Because Big Weezy had knew me.

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Big Wheezy is a really great person, a really great person,

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.120

<v Speaker 3>They went really good, you know, and I was able

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 3>to do quite a bit of shows or whatever. So yeah,

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.680

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because you see people around all the time. But

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I've never been the type.

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:45.199
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I went and saw it's the casting director headed casting

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.160
<v Speaker 3>at BT plus, Robbie reed. She does this thing with

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Devin Franklin and I went recently and he said something

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 3>that really stuck with me. He said, most of us

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 3>are sitting on yess, but we're too afraid to ask.

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I agree, And I'm one of those type of people.

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't ask people for help. If you offer me help,

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll take it. Or if you offer me an opportunity,

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 3>I would love it, but I'm not gonna be like, hey,

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 3>what up man, just checking in what you're seeing, what

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:16.720
<v Speaker 3>you got like.

0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't do that. But I know people that do

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 2>that and their career be moving.

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:23.640
<v Speaker 3>So because I'm not like that, It's just like, am

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I missing out on certain things because I don't ask

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 3>such and such can I get on this show? I

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 3>just truly work off of just being talented enough to

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 3>where people see me.

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>And then think of it.

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. My dad growing up, he used to always do

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 1>this thing. He used to get on my nerves as

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a kid. He'd always be like, if like, say we

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>want a candy or something, We'd be like, oh, we

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you something, be like ask you never

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm gonna say no, then we'd always ask it.

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Of course he'd always say no and be like, man,

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>this is stupid. But as I got older, I started

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to say, like, I never take no from people that

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have the ability to say yes. That's like something

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I stand on. So like the other day, I wanted

0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Noah and I knew someone that knew him and

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I sent I was like, hey, man, he's in town.

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>His publicist is blocking. No disrespect to his publicists, you know.

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yo, just I just need the proposal

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in front of him to say yes, yes, that's it.

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 1>And if you're not comfortable doing it. It's cool, but

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I just need him to be the one to say no,

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I can have his publicist, canvas, manager, canvas homie. It

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 1>needs to be him otherwise no, It's like, Okay, maybe

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going through you, you know. But whenever I

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like someone doesn't put that, And that's another thing

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I think people also need to consider is like sometimes

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 1>when you have managers and agents, they say some managers

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and exactly that happens a lot. It happens a lot

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>more than you think. So whenever I see like a

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are always shooting for the top publicist

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 1>that reps everybody, or the top manager that reps everybody,

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you guys are all signed to that same person. I'll

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.959
<v Speaker 1>tell you right now. There was recently someone that we

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted on the show. The didn't put it in front

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of him went direct. He was like, hell, yeah see

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>see yeah, but go back to your story.

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.679
<v Speaker 3>But so you know, I just did that, and you

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:10.719
<v Speaker 3>just constantly just keep going, keep going. How I just

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 3>success out here because people, you know, the haters in

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 3>the comments be like, you ain't this, you ain't that,

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 3>But I just success? Is am I doing better this

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 3>year than I did last year? Did I accomplish more

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 3>goals and more things this year that I set forth

0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 3>than I did last year? And if I'm doing that,

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 3>then I'm doing good.

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 1>So you do like a comparison to your previous year.

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 3>I write down, like I like to write down all

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 3>my goals for the year, and then I like to

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 3>write down at the top of the your also write

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 3>down all the things I achieved for the previous year.

0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 3>I like that because that teaches you just to be grateful.

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes when we in it, it feel like you're going stagnant.

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.439
<v Speaker 3>But you ever had somebody be like, yo, your podcast

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 3>killing it?

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>But then you be like, yo, it don't feel that way.

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It don't feel like that way in the moment, like

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:56.160
<v Speaker 3>it's like shut up, are you?

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you? Are you trying to play with me because

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking to be like no.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:01.959
<v Speaker 1>I used to work with Nick Cannon, and he used

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to always tell me, like, take time to take it

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 1>all in, Like you're running, you're running, but you're not

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 1>taking time to take it in.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 2>We living for the future to pass.

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Most of us are not. We're not. And it got

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>to a point where I would get so depressed over like, oh,

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I fucked up here or I messed up here, and

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>my dad would say, like, Okay, that's it. You're gonna

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 1>start having to hang this stuff on your walls, like

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you gotta go. This is what you call hang that

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 1>ship on the wall. And I started putting up like

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 1>posters in my house. And now I have, like I

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 1>call it the hall of fame of just shit that

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I accomplished, and I put on the walls grants and

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.440
<v Speaker 1>now I'm like, go, someone, that ship's old. That shit

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>need to come down.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we got we got better goals.

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>But the truth of the matter is I like that

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 1>because I do goal boards every year, but I've never

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>thought about putting the stuff that I previously accomplished. I

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like taking a picture and go, damn, okay, that was

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 1>on the list. I didn't realize that, you.

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Know, But but I think, don't even realize that you

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>accomplished so much.

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you really don't, especially if you're a go getter

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're consistently moving that goal post. That's a great

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 1>way to do it. So after you've accomplished like winning

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the festival festal, now you're doing these tour dates. You

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>do the Cat Williams thing, what's the next play?

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 3>The next play was okay, so years ago, this had

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 3>to be two thousand and twelve, And.

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I want everybody to pay attention to how much time

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and consistency his story is taking twenty twelve.

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I used to And you know what I love about

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 3>this city is you can meet some time hearted people

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 3>that will make you feel comfortable.

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I love people who don't chase you away from your dreams.

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 3>And I say that because you could be in situations

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 3>that make you not feel good, and it can kind

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 3>of deter you from achieving your goals because you revert

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 3>to this depressed person or this hermit or whatever, and

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 3>it pushes you farther away from your dreams. But shout

0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 3>out to all the people out there that make you

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:55.720
<v Speaker 3>feel comfortable, that may uplift you, that don't try to

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 3>be sexual with you or anything like that just make

0:29:58.800 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 3>you just really.

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Allow you to exist. It was this guy.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 3>His name is Billy Williams. He used to be on

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 3>The Martin Show. He's really good friends with Martin Lawrence.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Billy Williams. Okay, okay, so yeah, so he so one night,

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 3>me and we used to always go. I used to

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 3>go meet him outside of his apartment. You know, never

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 3>went in. Always just meet him outside pick him up.

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 3>We would go hiking and we would just talk talk talk.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 3>So one night he was like, hey, meet me, meet me,

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:27.479
<v Speaker 3>Come pick me up. He said, he said, not come

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:29.719
<v Speaker 3>pick me up. He said, meet me at Red Lobster.

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I said, okay, Billy, I'm about to go to this party.

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 3>He said, stop by. He said, please just stop by

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 3>for me. Stop by Red Lobster.

0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I stopped by. It's him, a girl and Martin Lawrence.

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 2>He introduces me.

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 1>He didn't tell you that that was coming up.

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Tall introduced me to Martin Lawrence.

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Fast forward a few years later, Martin Lawrence allowed me

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 3>to feature all of his shows at the Comedy Store.

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 2>And then starting in July, be on tour with him

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 2>on twelve cities.

0:30:56.200 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's amazing how everything starts to work and full

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 3>circle of moments and stuff that you experienced in the

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 3>past and then it comes.

0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 2>To fuition in the future. You see what I'm saying.

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 2>So you just never know.

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 3>That's another reason why I like to just stay out

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 3>of stuff and drama and stuff, because you just never

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 3>know where things will end up and how people try

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 3>to treat people good, you know, yeah, but I will

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 3>get with your.

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Ass if I have to.

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So how so you're now going on the tour with

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Martin Lawrence. I literally just saw that. Yeah, yeah, I

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.479

<v Speaker 2>little bit.

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 3>So so in two thousand and twenty twenty one, I remember,

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I believe it might have been twenty twenty one.

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, after COVID, right right on the ending of COVID, Yeah, COVID. Okay, Okay,

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 1>so you know Houston never closed. I didn't know, so, yeah,

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>they never closed.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 2>So I was talking to.

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Keith no to Dave Chappelle one night, this rapper Trade

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 3>of Truth had had a comedy night at the House

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 3>of Blues in Houston. He's a rapper, he does a

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 3>celebrity weekend whatever.

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So were you out there for that.

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 3>He flies us out and everything and take care of

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 3>us and we experienced the whole weekend people that he like,

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 3>and we perform on Sunday. He had Dave Chappelle as well.

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Dave Chappelle was talking to me, just like me and

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 3>you talking. He was like, hey, every comic. He didn't

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 3>touch me.

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>He was like, every comic should live in New York

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 2>for at least two years. So I kind of took

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that to heart. I was like, well, shit, you know,

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 2>it's the pandemic.

0:32:56.400 --> 0:32:58.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel like nothing really popping in LA and

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 3>all the auditions is self tape now you no longer

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 3>have to be here to audition.

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I just had an audition today and it was just

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 3>self tape, and it's here, it's gonna shoot in LA.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 3>So everything's self taped now, so you could basically live

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 3>anywhere else.

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh I don't know that.

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you know, only commercial auditions are still doing

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 3>some some of them are still in person. So so

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I was like, all right, cool, I thought about it.

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 3>So I hit Keith Robinson. I said, hey, man, what

0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 3>do you think about me move? He's like, I think

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 3>you'll do good at out here, he said. I said,

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna come visit first. So I went out there

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 3>in September. He got me an audition at the Comedy

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Seller and st passed me.

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow on the first one, on the first audition. Yeah,

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a big feat for New York. Yes,

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm familiar with the New York landscape and the

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Seller is one of the harder Yeah, like literally the

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>hardest club. Like I know Eagles in that circuit, Eagle

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>past every single club. The Seller was the last one.

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It was my first.

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a huge accomplishment. Okay, So so he.

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Got me the audition, st passed me in September. I

0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 3>moved out there in November. Oh shoot, yeah, something happened.

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I got a booking in with some good money. So

0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I was supposed to move November, be in my apartment

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 3>in November first, but I kind of ended up moving

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 3>towards like the middle or the end of November twenty

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty one, and then I stayed out there for two years,

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:15.320
<v Speaker 3>and then I moved back here in January Los Angeles

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 3>January twenty twenty four.

0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And you weren't just doing the October, No, you were

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>doing it all the different.

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 3>The Seller, the Stand, and New York Comedy Club with

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 3>my three main clubs, which you were doing really good.

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did.

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I was lucky enough to be able to work those

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 2>top clubs like that.

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And I also like this consistency is very, very prevalent

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.120
<v Speaker 1>in your whole story. It's like you heard Chappelle say, hey,

0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you need to do two years you didn't play. You

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 1>were like, oh, you need to do two years there.

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I was like, boom, the industry already set up for

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 3>me to do two years there. So that that works

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 3>because if I had to audition all the time, I

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:52.320
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I would have just if the pandemic

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:54.279
<v Speaker 3>didn't happen, I would have just moved out there and

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 3>then you just go dead for like two years of

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 3>auditioning and stuff.

0:34:57.800 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I was like, all right, boom, everything's

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a lining.

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But now, but this is the end of COVID Because

0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>New York was like Darth Vader during I remember.

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Cold in November, but they still were having shown. But

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 2>this is twenty one or twenty two, well twenty one

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:12.280
<v Speaker 2>November twenty twenty.

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 3>One, okay, okay, so you're out there basically, you know,

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:17.800
<v Speaker 3>a year and a half outside of the actual first shutdown,

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 3>which this March twenty twenty, so it was still a

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.280
<v Speaker 3>little like inching, but come twenty twenty two it started boom.

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty three, it was no and then I left

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:27.439
<v Speaker 2>January twenty.

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So much respect to you for how serious you're taking this,

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:33.919
<v Speaker 1>yeah dream like I mean, well it's not a dream

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's happening. But I'm saying, like, I love how

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>driven you are in this whole story. You're yeah, like

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you have to be made like there's no distractions, there's

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.720
<v Speaker 1>no I see nothing but focus.

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 1>It's really really beautiful.

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.839
<v Speaker 3>And so October thirtieth, my mother said that was her

0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:53.759

<v Speaker 2>I just had say, hey, Les, can I shoot my special? Hair?

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Seeing a couple other people had shot their specials there,

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 3>and you know, I talked to them. They gave me

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 3>options for a camera crew. She gave me options. She said,

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:20.839
<v Speaker 3>it's totally up to you who you want to choose.

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 3>She said, we are here to help there, to help

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 3>the comic. And I shot my special there and I

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 3>shot my special A left child.

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>What did you say?

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I shot my special and left?

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh for real?

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, move back?

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what I wanted to know. Why did

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you feel it was so important for you to shoot

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the special at the cellar?

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 3>I felt like it was just a great venue. And

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 3>also like to watch the trajectory of people around me.

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 3>That's what I look at.

0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean by that?

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Just I can map out sometimes off of IMDb, off

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 3>a social media post, I can map people's trajectory, so

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 3>like where their career kind of started to start to

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 3>get like a little leg up, and then where it

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 3>went fast.

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Like the tipping point. Like you can you can see

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the tipping point.

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 2>You can see the growth.

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 3>You can see like the beginning stages when they were

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 3>still looking raggedy, and then they went up and they

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 3>was able to get a.

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Nice pair of shoes and one good suit.

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:20.719
<v Speaker 3>And then you started to see that their videos started

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:22.879
<v Speaker 3>to go viral here and then they put they shot

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 3>the special here.

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.360
<v Speaker 2>So I'll watch other people how they move, you know.

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I like that. Yeah, you have to.

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 3>You have to be aware of everybody that is around you,

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 3>because I didn't know about entering comedy festivals until I

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 3>saw other comedians in comedy festivals posting their stuff like, hey, y'all,

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm in this comedy festival posting it up. I got

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:46.919
<v Speaker 3>accepted in on their uh Instagram, so I would write

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 3>down the comedy festival. I'll go to the website research it,

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.840
<v Speaker 3>look at the date that they were taking submissions.

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Be ready for the next year.

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm watching everything.

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>You do well since you watched, and I'm about to

0:37:57.880 --> 0:37:59.920
<v Speaker 1>learn how we take what is this a hard boiled egg?

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you don't have no salt though.

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 1>It's in the back. It's like you might not.

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Season your food.

0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>It's in the back. If you go in the back.

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you walked in, you were all nice, Oh,

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 1>look how nice it is in that back kitchen.

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:18.239
<v Speaker 2>This egg might be deformed. What happened to the front

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 2>half of it?

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 2>You done gave me all eggs.

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know.

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 2>If I.

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I never do that, or maybe you

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>boil it the.

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Way it could be because it was it was only

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 3>a small pot and it wasn't fully emerging water, so

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 3>the yolk kind of went to one side.

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so we do we need salt because I could

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 1>call cup but I feel like ramen is already salty.

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you put all those seasoning packets in it? Just

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 1>too Yeah? Yeah, nah, that's salty. That's salty. I don't

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:55.440
<v Speaker 1>season my food. So when I go in your house,

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 1>if I were to go in your fridge right now, you.

0:38:57.960 --> 0:38:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Ain't gonna see no season So I don't even know

0:38:59.520 --> 0:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>why I'm over.

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 1>You're talking, but I'm saying, like when you go in

0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 1>your if I was like, hey, I'm gonna swing by

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the house. The first thing I like to do when

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I go to people fruit. Oh it's fruit, So there's

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>something in there.

0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:11.320
<v Speaker 2>So you are going and a lot of green juices?

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Why because you know what you mean?

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:16.920
<v Speaker 1>You buy the document.

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 3>It's like the average person isn't getting enough vegetable intakes

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 3>because even when we do eat vegetables nowadays, we're putting

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.879
<v Speaker 3>so much salt and seasoning and boiling them all the way,

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 3>he says, So it's better. It's really good to juice.

0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 3>So then I just buy the juices instead of using

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 3>my juice machine.

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Where do you buy your juices at?

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.359
<v Speaker 3>I like to get mine at Trader Show Trader joels, Yeah,

0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:39.719
<v Speaker 3>I try to drink one a day. It's thirty days,

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:41.840
<v Speaker 3>so ninety dollars a month because they about three dollars.

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Walmart is another good places to get them too.

0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go do that.

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I juice every day.

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Your say you say you juice every day like you're

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the one making it.

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm Barney. Well.

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:57.240
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I will say this, I just discovered

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Trader Joe's recently, and it in the.

0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Last couple of years.

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Mine was like the last three months. But I will

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.600
<v Speaker 1>say this, Trader Joe's makes it so easy if you

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to cook. Have you walked through their

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>frozen food sex show?

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:12.960
<v Speaker 2>But this guy was telling me you need to get

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:13.880
<v Speaker 2>their orange chicken.

0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Bro I just made that orange chicken last night.

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 2>How was it? It was delicious, So I say, it's

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:20.080
<v Speaker 2>like prebade and everything.

0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's literally like even their karaoke chicken, like you

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>could buy their stuff. And I get a rice maker,

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 1>which I used to like, always buy rice about.

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 2>The inciant rice. Nowadays I used to do that.

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>But if you the cheapness or the frugal part of me,

0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 1>or the becoming a mom part of me, I decided

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.759
<v Speaker 1>to go to Target. They sell the mini rice maker

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for twenty bucks. I promise you you get one bag

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:46.919
<v Speaker 1>of bassetti or jasmine rice. However you like your rice.

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 1>It takes like thirty minutes.

0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't know how to cook. Rice is hard

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:51.879
<v Speaker 2>to cook.

0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I promise you this rice cooker will change the game.

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>It's twenty bucks. You go on the Target. You get

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:00.560
<v Speaker 1>your little twenty dollar rice cooker. It comes with the

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:02.440
<v Speaker 1>little measuring cup. You put a cup of water, two

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>cups of water, a cup of rice. You have the

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 1>best tasting rice. And the cool thing is that ain't

0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing with the devil if you if you leave, you

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>can come home and the rice is so warm and

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the cooker mm, so you have fresh rice.

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 2>So why even go out?

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? And then Trader Joe's, you could get the orange chicken,

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 1>get a bag of broccoli, put it in the stove.

0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Within ten fifteen minutes, you have a whole meal with

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:27.399
<v Speaker 1>a leftover. Now I'm Chinese, yep, I promise you, because

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I used to spend so much on Chinese food, like

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:30.840
<v Speaker 1>once or twice a week. But Trader Joe's has the

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>ultimate hack.

0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm a transracial cooker.

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>You're I'm telling you. I promise you if you just

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>take another look at that Trader Joe's frozen aile, you

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 1>won't have to eat out as much.

0:41:40.640 --> 0:41:43.320
<v Speaker 3>And Trader Joe's damn ploys always got a good attitude.

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 3>And they be like, you want us to help you

0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 3>to your car? And I'd be like, come on, strong man, shit,

0:41:49.400 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 3>that's all I need is a Trader Joe man in

0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:51.840
<v Speaker 3>my life.

0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And the U And they give like your kid a

0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stickers, And I don't really like that because

0:41:57.440 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, my house will be covered in stickers that

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't get. OK, But my daughter likes it.

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:04.400
<v Speaker 2>She'd be like, where's my stickers? Oh? So she come

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:05.239
<v Speaker 2>to expect it.

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.800
<v Speaker 1>So this is a good dish. But I mean, I

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>probably would never do this again. I like the Ramen

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 1>without the egg.

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I'll never do it again either.

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Who would have ever thought, because when we grew up,

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:34.240
<v Speaker 3>ramen was like a struggle meal. Now they selling rawmen

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:38.879
<v Speaker 3>in restaurants and naming the restaurant Ramen, and then they're

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 3>selling these dishes for twenty twenty five dollars.

0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I will. I'll say this though, I've never gone to

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Ramen place and actually spend No, I'm lying, I took.

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I did buy one Ramen dish once, but yeah, I

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:53.400
<v Speaker 1>can't my brain in my brain, I can't do it.

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 1>But anywhere you eat now it's expensive. You could go

0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to McDonald's and it's like seven dollars fry.

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I like to get a coke and a small fried

0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and that'd be seven dollars.

0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I gotta tell you this quick little half that

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I just discovered the other day, and my homie was

0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 1>laughing at me. I don't know that this is every

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Taco Bell, but Taco Bell released like a frozen slurpy. Ooh,

0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and they have like a dragon fruits frozen slurpy. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>I'm forty Okay. Little stupid things like really excite me. Yeah,

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and I call my homie and I was like, yo,

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:28.919
<v Speaker 1>treat yourself today. He's like, what you're talking about? I said,

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Taco Bell has a happy hour. I didn't even know about.

0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 1>From two to five hour, they got a happy hour

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and you could get these slurpees for a dollar thirty.

0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I was calling him, like, yo, this is the best

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:41.359
<v Speaker 1>day ever to keep dragon bro.

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:42.200
<v Speaker 3>He was.

0:43:42.440 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yo, I just finished the surpee and

0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>he's like. I was like, but I want another one.

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:47.759
<v Speaker 1>He's like, turn around. I say, you know it. I

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 1>turned around, went back and the guy at the Taco

0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Bell was laughing at me. He was like, a Taco

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Bell and get one, yo, I promise you that dragon fruit.

0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what. I like.

0:43:58.200 --> 0:43:59.959
<v Speaker 1>It's better than the seven day beer.

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you cherry lemonade from Chick fil A? No, it's seasonal.

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, a real piece of crack heaven?

0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Really, but is it unhappy hour? Do they give a

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:13.760
<v Speaker 1>happy yes? I think the happy hour makes it seem

0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like a little bit more like riskale, like oh my god,

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm really coming up.

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but uh, I will say, shot gotta be flirted with. Yeah, yeah,

0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 3>somebody gonna come in there flirting.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, but yeah, no I promise you it is

0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the best slurpye And I don't know if they do

0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it with every Taco Bell, but I just recently was

0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>at a Taco Bell and they were like happy hour

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>two to five, and I was like what, and I

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:40.000
<v Speaker 1>loved it even more. But it is the best slurpee.

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It is by far trump's all the other slurpees. I

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 1>love it. But in another hack, I learned.

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Fruit too, but that wasn't popular when we were dragging

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.880

<v Speaker 3>it came out like five man months after I shot it.

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:36.960

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:39.200
<v Speaker 2>It took me a month.

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I know if it was my team, I would have

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>gotten phone calls, text messages, emails. They'll find a way

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to be like, hey, what what what did you watch it?

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 1>You watched it? No, I'm saying. The production side, they

0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:51.279
<v Speaker 1>weren't like, hey, what's going on?

0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:51.719

0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, but they also have other people that they're

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:55.360
<v Speaker 3>working with, so they were just waiting for me to

0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 3>They didn't hit me.

0:46:56.120 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 2>After three it's like, hey, is everything okay? Did you

0:46:58.320 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 2>get it?

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:01.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, I'm watch it tomorrow. Then that's what

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:02.600
<v Speaker 3>made me really double down.

0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:04.239

<v Speaker 1>Was really good.

0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you got to say it.

0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:12.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't have to say it. First of all,

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I have too much history when it comes to comments.

0:47:15.400 --> 0:47:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I liked it. I thought it was very relatable as

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a female dating Scenkle like everything. I was also like

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.239
<v Speaker 1>cruising the comments. Of course you have to cruise the

0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:26.640
<v Speaker 1>comments to see what they're saying. Everybody was so excited

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:27.799
<v Speaker 1>about you in a cat suit.

0:47:28.560 --> 0:47:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I had a little cameltoe. I didn't realize I had.

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't even looking at that. Well.

0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:35.080
<v Speaker 2>The man said it, and I was like, oh, that's

0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a baby, I said, But you gotta be hard.

0:47:37.080 --> 0:47:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Some people appressed nah, I just I have two.

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Like really negative comments, and I blocked those people from

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 3>the YouTube, so they're not showing up on the special.

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Not because I don't I don't want anybody to see

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 3>a negative comment about it. It's because people choose to

0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:55.680
<v Speaker 3>attack you. And it's like, yo, I hate women like this,

0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:58.160
<v Speaker 3>What does it have to do with the special?

0:47:58.239 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Bro?

0:47:58.920 --> 0:47:59.759
<v Speaker 2>What did I do to you?

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 3>It's like some people in the world wide of it.

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:06.360
<v Speaker 3>See that's what I remember. I had a show in

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:09.399
<v Speaker 3>New York and this guy was like, I don't think

0:48:09.440 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 3>you're funny. I said, I grew up in the era

0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:15.719
<v Speaker 3>where you can't just say that to people. If you

0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:17.880
<v Speaker 3>don't like something, just wait till you leave say it

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:18.399
<v Speaker 3>to your friend.

0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. I think when it comes

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to comedy, it's what I think, it's not.

0:48:22.880 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 3>It's not just about comedy in society. People feel like,

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:27.840
<v Speaker 3>even I just saw something with Raven Simone and her

0:48:27.920 --> 0:48:30.439
<v Speaker 3>wife and she's like, hey guy. Her wife had said

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:33.320
<v Speaker 3>she had never seen the That's So Raven show prior

0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 3>to being in a relationship with Raven Simon, which nobody

0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:39.040
<v Speaker 3>that meets me isn't obligated to see all about your

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.040
<v Speaker 3>show and all of my work, and you know what

0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean. So it's like people were giving this woman

0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:46.839
<v Speaker 3>death threats. But see, we live in a world now

0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 3>where people can just type whatever they want and it's

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:52.240
<v Speaker 3>no accountability. Back in the day when I went to school,

0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:54.799
<v Speaker 3>you talk bad about somebody, you're liable to meet them

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:56.960
<v Speaker 3>on to meet them after school at three o'clock and

0:48:57.040 --> 0:48:58.879
<v Speaker 3>get your ass beat or get in the fire.

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't think we were in like our

0:49:01.080 --> 0:49:04.040
<v Speaker 1>era is probably the Aol Instant Messenger era. It wasn't

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.960
<v Speaker 1>as no, none of that. Facebook came out.

0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Facebook came out when I was in college and I'm

0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:11.200
<v Speaker 3>thirty seven. Yeah, so Facebook didn't come out till I

0:49:11.280 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 3>was in college. Because when I first went to college,

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:16.160
<v Speaker 3>you had to have a die edu. When I first

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 3>joined Facebook, I had to have a die edu and

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 3>because I heard about it in two thousand and four

0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 3>when I graduated high school. But I couldn't join because

0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:26.080
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have a die edu. You had to be

0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 3>at the university, and that was when they first first Yeah,

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:30.440
<v Speaker 3>when you went to community college, they don't still don't

0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:32.960
<v Speaker 3>give you an email do edu at most community colleges.

0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:35.439
<v Speaker 3>So I had to be at the because I didn't

0:49:35.480 --> 0:49:36.280
<v Speaker 3>go straight to college.

0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying that I think the social media error

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:41.719
<v Speaker 1>gave people a lot of confidences to.

0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Say whatever they want to people with no accountability and

0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:48.000
<v Speaker 3>so with that, So that's the reason why I deleted

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:50.239
<v Speaker 3>two comments, because it's like, Yo, what does this have

0:49:50.360 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 3>to do with anything? You're just attacking me because you

0:49:53.280 --> 0:49:55.279
<v Speaker 3>woke up and decided you hate me. This has nothing

0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:57.960
<v Speaker 3>to do with the special, has nothing to do with anything.

0:49:58.239 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 3>You're just a miserable person and I think you can

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:03.719
<v Speaker 3>run into that on the internet. Yeah, yeah, and you

0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:05.160
<v Speaker 3>attack me every day every day.

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:05.799
<v Speaker 2>I black people.

0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I always say this too, like every day every comedian

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 1>has their audience, but I think most people laugh at

0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 1>what they can relate to. So if I don't think

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:17.359
<v Speaker 1>a comedian is funny. Like I tell people all the time,

0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I like people that have like childhood trauma, like the Sebastians,

0:50:21.440 --> 0:50:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the bill Birds, Like if your mom and your parents

0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 1>were terrible, y'all give me that comedian John Wasamo, give

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.719
<v Speaker 1>me all those motherfuckers, and I'm like, gonna have fun

0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 1>all day. I enjoyed your special because I could relate

0:50:34.680 --> 0:50:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to it, and that's what makes it funny. So it's

0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:39.400
<v Speaker 1>very terrible when people can say to a comedy or

0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that comedian is funny. It's really subjective

0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to what you can relate to.

0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 3>Like I can't say somebody successful is not funny. Yeah,

0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:50.360
<v Speaker 3>you can't say that somebody that's really building up in

0:50:50.480 --> 0:50:52.040
<v Speaker 3>upcoming isn't funny, you know what I mean.

0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just like they're just not funny to you.

0:50:54.600 --> 0:50:57.000
<v Speaker 3>But you get people that go in and if this

0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:00.480
<v Speaker 3>person's not funny, they're there, they look like this, and

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 3>they look, what does that have to do with anything?

0:51:02.280 --> 0:51:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You're just that's called bullying. Cyber go to these.

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Pages and these people are just yeah, No.

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I've had people comment on our show because I usually

0:51:10.560 --> 0:51:13.080
<v Speaker 1>wear like a backwards hast I've heard people go into

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:15.920
<v Speaker 1>comments like why is this fifty year old wearing backwards?

0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like you, I'll go to their page like I

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:23.120
<v Speaker 1>know you ain't talking ship.

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:26.359
<v Speaker 3>And then I have God tell me recently, that's why

0:51:26.480 --> 0:51:29.719
<v Speaker 3>you old and you and don't nobody want you? And

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, do you really actually looking at me, sir?

0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Do you actually think nobody wants me? My face looked

0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:37.719
<v Speaker 3>the same with or without makeup on. Do you really

0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:39.759
<v Speaker 3>think I'm walking in the world and every man is like,

0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:42.000
<v Speaker 3>forget her, we don't want her.

0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Like no, But I do think that the people do

0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:49.160
<v Speaker 1>need to address like the insensitivity, because I will say, sick,

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:52.799
<v Speaker 1>a sick part of me, Like, I'll scroll through all

0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the comments and the ones that are negative are the

0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:56.720
<v Speaker 1>ones that get my attention. I do a little chuckle.

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I'll be like you want to respond to though,

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 3>why I don't The positive ones you'd be like, Then

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:05.920
<v Speaker 3>a negative one you'd be like, you.

0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Know what you go to they paid you look at them,

0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:09.719
<v Speaker 2>but it's always.

0:52:09.440 --> 0:52:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Whoever you, whoever's dissing you. When you look them up,

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:12.799
<v Speaker 1>you'd be like, come on, man.

0:52:14.160 --> 0:52:15.879
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, that's why you got buck teeth

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 3>I said, ma'am, do you know what buck teeth are?

0:52:18.160 --> 0:52:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Buck teeth is on your two front teeper.

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Did you respond to her?

0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:23.919
<v Speaker 2>She had a gap this big?

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you respond on? Did you respond?

0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember, Okay, sometimes I respond to people sometime

0:52:30.480 --> 0:52:32.600
<v Speaker 3>like this one girl recently, she was like, y'all look

0:52:32.760 --> 0:52:35.719
<v Speaker 3>old for millennials. Y'all really baby boomers? You know, baby

0:52:35.760 --> 0:52:37.439
<v Speaker 3>boomers will be like sixty.

0:52:37.120 --> 0:52:37.719
<v Speaker 1>And stuff like that.

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:40.840
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, girl, I said she and she

0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I went to her page. She had a you know,

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:46.160
<v Speaker 3>little light bo in a BBL that didn't match. I said, girl,

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:48.760
<v Speaker 3>you talking. I said, you went to the Dominican Republic

0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:51.439
<v Speaker 3>and got all that surgery and they could unbig your back.

0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:52.360
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious.

0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I said, your back is huge. And she was like, oh,

0:52:55.400 --> 0:52:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you just mas.

0:52:56.040 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 3>She been arguing for the last I stopped responding after

0:52:58.719 --> 0:53:01.799
<v Speaker 3>like two comments she been arguing with because people keep

0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 3>finding stuff.

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:06.040
<v Speaker 2>She been arguing with people in those comments for the

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:08.040
<v Speaker 2>last two months.

0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:11.120
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. I think, yeah, I think there's a space

0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for people that are over opinionated on the Internet, and

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:17.800
<v Speaker 1>again it's just to bring people down. I can't understand

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:20.200
<v Speaker 1>what it's rooted in I've never really been. I'm one

0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:22.799
<v Speaker 1>of those type of people though, Yeah, but I'm more

0:53:23.000 --> 0:53:26.479
<v Speaker 1>like I like reading through comments. I just like reading

0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:28.800
<v Speaker 1>through comments, skimming to see what the gist of what

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:32.040
<v Speaker 1>people's opinions are. But I don't know, I think I

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:33.799
<v Speaker 1>think the whole comment thing is just.

0:53:34.120 --> 0:53:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I think blocking hurts them the most.

0:53:36.239 --> 0:53:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Blocking and people you go to their page.

0:53:38.760 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 2>They aren't even following you, or some people was like

0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:42.000
<v Speaker 2>they follow you.

0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:45.880
<v Speaker 3>And what I don't like about it is that some

0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:47.920
<v Speaker 3>people get mad at you for having an opinion, but

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 3>they have an opinion about you having an opinion.

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:51.640
<v Speaker 2>So why is it okay for you to have an

0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:53.320
<v Speaker 2>opinion but not me to have an opinion?

0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense?

0:53:55.360 --> 0:53:57.680
<v Speaker 1>No, it doesn't, it doesn't. I just think that there's

0:53:57.719 --> 0:54:00.560
<v Speaker 1>certain people that live for that. I'll go back to

0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:03.320
<v Speaker 1>my twin. My twin doesn't really attack people online, but

0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I will say, like, she'll literally lose sleepover fights on

0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:10.240
<v Speaker 1>social media, and I'll be like, she'll call me. She'll

0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:13.879
<v Speaker 1>start with I know you don't care, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I listen, but she'll she knows that whatever she's about

0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:19.359
<v Speaker 1>to tell me, I'm really not gonna give a fuck

0:54:19.400 --> 0:54:21.440
<v Speaker 1>about like or she'll like going on a rat with

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:28.960
<v Speaker 1>like Beyonce and some ship and she just yeah, yeah,

0:54:29.880 --> 0:54:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, I don't get it.

0:54:32.760 --> 0:54:32.920
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:54:33.040 --> 0:54:35.480
<v Speaker 1>But there's a certain type of people that are really invested,

0:54:35.600 --> 0:54:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like they will lose sleep, they will get upset, they

0:54:37.719 --> 0:54:39.040
<v Speaker 1>will and I.

0:54:39.160 --> 0:54:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Promise little Uzzi Bert had a purse. I was like,

0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:44.480
<v Speaker 3>look at him with that perse on. Do you know

0:54:44.600 --> 0:54:47.560
<v Speaker 3>I got death threats for that? They said they was gonna.

0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Kill me, girl, I don't know. They're crazy, un alive me.

0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you able to make money off your socials now?

0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:54.920
<v Speaker 3>So I don't attack people, I just block them. So

0:54:55.320 --> 0:54:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm pretty good at roasting.

0:54:58.080 --> 0:54:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Really good.

0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I could read you for filth on there, okay.

0:55:00.920 --> 0:55:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Like a housewife mixed with your your comedian nightmare of roasting.

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:09.080
<v Speaker 3>But it's like you can't respond to people back in

0:55:09.160 --> 0:55:10.960
<v Speaker 3>that way because if they started to report me, and

0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:12.640
<v Speaker 3>people started to report me, they can.

0:55:12.560 --> 0:55:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Demonetize my page. So I just block them.

0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:16.719
<v Speaker 3>I just non no longer argue with them or if

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I say something. It's just it's very common things that

0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:22.360
<v Speaker 3>it's like your back is big, that's not nothing triggering,

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 3>but if I was like, you ugly fat bitch, that

0:55:25.560 --> 0:55:29.200
<v Speaker 3>those are stuff that they can demonetize your page or actually,

0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, get you your page taken out, taken off. Yeah,

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I've seen that happen to a comedian recently. He was

0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:38.120
<v Speaker 3>going in on people that was seeing stuff about how

0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:40.120
<v Speaker 3>he looked, and he went back and they took his

0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:40.840
<v Speaker 3>whole page.

0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh shoot, well, going back to your special, I did

0:55:45.160 --> 0:55:48.520
<v Speaker 1>your grandma watch it? And no, I don't know.

0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't. Sometimes don't want my family watching my stuff.

0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Well that's what I want watch it, but you know,

0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't just be like.

0:55:55.480 --> 0:55:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey, grandma, I watched a special, you know, but.

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:03.440
<v Speaker 1>No, they like your mom she knows, yeah, because she's

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:03.799
<v Speaker 1>all on.

0:56:03.840 --> 0:56:06.279
<v Speaker 2>My social media. But my family do. But I don't.

0:56:06.320 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Also, not my grandparents. They would need help setting it up.

0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:11.640
<v Speaker 3>You have to go over there, put it, put YouTube

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:13.480
<v Speaker 3>on the screen, set it up.

0:56:13.719 --> 0:56:16.440
<v Speaker 2>They can't. They can't asset stuff like that on their own.

0:56:16.719 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, it's just that I know, since

0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you talked about I wonder I understand being related to

0:56:22.880 --> 0:56:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a comedian, like you're not going to always keep up

0:56:24.760 --> 0:56:27.239
<v Speaker 1>with everything they do. But I was just curious when

0:56:27.320 --> 0:56:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they do watch your stuff? Do they are they like

0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:31.799
<v Speaker 1>letting you do you? Or do they try to get

0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in the weeds and say, like, why was she performing

0:56:33.880 --> 0:56:35.840
<v Speaker 1>like that? Okay, perfect, because I'm not.

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Doing anything derogatory. I'm just telling the stories that you

0:56:39.080 --> 0:56:39.400
<v Speaker 2>told me.

0:56:39.600 --> 0:56:39.840
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're telling well, you're telling your truth. But I'm

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious if there's anyone in your group that does

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:48.719
<v Speaker 1>do that. Okay, cool, and you prefer.

0:56:48.600 --> 0:56:50.160
<v Speaker 3>That way, right, because they want to ask me for

0:56:50.360 --> 0:56:52.399
<v Speaker 3>money here and there, so they ain't gonna really rock

0:56:52.480 --> 0:56:54.640
<v Speaker 3>the boat. Yeah, And I'm not going on there saying

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:57.719
<v Speaker 3>you dumb and you stupid. I'm attacking anybody. I'm just

0:56:58.040 --> 0:57:00.360
<v Speaker 3>basically saying, my grandma got the shakes, and I do

0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:02.120
<v Speaker 3>talk to my grandma. People like you don't talk to

0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:03.920
<v Speaker 3>your I'm like, I do joke with my grandma like that.

0:57:05.120 --> 0:57:07.560
<v Speaker 2>She like it. My grandma like it. I love this

0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:10.880
<v Speaker 2>favorite word is nigga your grandma's.

0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Favorite word, and the family has asked her to stop

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:17.600
<v Speaker 3>saying it. My mother hates it, and my mother has

0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 3>asked it. So I said, hey, so sometimes I call it.

0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I say hey, Grandma. I was like, look at that

0:57:21.400 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 3>nigga over there. She said, yeah, I don't like that nigga.

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.120
<v Speaker 3>So we joke like that because that's her favorite word,

0:57:26.200 --> 0:57:27.760
<v Speaker 3>but she don't like She don't like to say it

0:57:27.800 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 3>around the rest of the family, so we joke with

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:31.360
<v Speaker 3>it together.

0:57:31.880 --> 0:57:34.440
<v Speaker 2>That's your favorite word. Atactor for saying it.

0:57:34.680 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Your special looks like you and your grandma have a

0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:40.760
<v Speaker 1>good relationship. You guys have a very cute, flirty, like

0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:42.360
<v Speaker 1>fun relationship.

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Yo.

0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:45.280
<v Speaker 3>The craziest thing happened. So I took my grandparents at

0:57:45.320 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 3>the other day. I like, I told her they'd be

0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:49.200
<v Speaker 3>in Inglewood, so I took them about this something to eat.

0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:52.880
<v Speaker 3>So my grandma husband, he gonna say. The guy came

0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:55.040
<v Speaker 3>over as Hispanic guy helping us at the table.

0:57:55.120 --> 0:57:58.520
<v Speaker 2>He gonna say. He said to the guy, Tim, you

0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 2>speak good English. I said, you can't say that to him.

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:05.520
<v Speaker 2>He said what he said? He don't got no accent.

0:58:06.240 --> 0:58:09.080
<v Speaker 3>So the guy laughed because he wasn't offended. I said,

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I said, grand daddy, he's American. People are from other places,

0:58:14.040 --> 0:58:16.960
<v Speaker 3>are born in America. I said, you were born in America.

0:58:17.040 --> 0:58:19.120
<v Speaker 3>He said, yes, I was, But he just laughed because

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:21.120
<v Speaker 3>you can't how would you get mad at somebody that

0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 3>this man is eighty nine years old. But when he

0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:25.960
<v Speaker 3>said it, I was like, yo, you just saying whatever

0:58:26.160 --> 0:58:28.919
<v Speaker 3>you wanted to this guy. I mean he was in awe,

0:58:29.080 --> 0:58:30.280
<v Speaker 3>like really wanting an answer.

0:58:30.440 --> 0:58:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:58:31.160 --> 0:58:36.880
<v Speaker 2>No, my grandparents are characters like what the Yeah.

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I could see that. I just think watching the special,

0:58:40.400 --> 0:58:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I definitely could see that you guys have a good relationship.

0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>How did how was the receiving of the special and like,

0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:49.600
<v Speaker 1>did you accomplish everything you wanted to in regards to

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the special?

0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I feel like as far as everything I wanted

0:58:52.400 --> 0:58:54.640
<v Speaker 3>to put out in a special, you know, and then

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:56.560
<v Speaker 3>just starting prepare for the next one.

0:58:56.880 --> 0:58:59.400
<v Speaker 1>That was my next year. Are you starting already to prepare?

0:58:59.600 --> 0:58:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:01.920
<v Speaker 1>You gotta write new jokes and then don't you have

0:59:02.040 --> 0:59:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to practice on the road for a while. Yeah.

0:59:04.200 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 3>So what I like to do is because everybody in

0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:08.120
<v Speaker 3>the world hasn't seen the special, and everybody that come

0:59:08.160 --> 0:59:11.080
<v Speaker 3>out the shows haven't seen the special, is just to

0:59:11.320 --> 0:59:13.880
<v Speaker 3>start to weaving new material in between.

0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:59:14.720 --> 0:59:16.880
<v Speaker 3>So you don't go up there just doing because to me,

0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 3>when people come to come buy tickets, they bought tickets,

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:24.680
<v Speaker 3>some hire a babysitter, some actually bought a new outfit,

0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 3>buying drinks, They're going to go out to eat maybe

0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:28.040
<v Speaker 3>before and after, or.

0:59:28.040 --> 0:59:30.200
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna eat there. They're spending money.

0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:32.760
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think you should allow someone to spend

0:59:32.880 --> 0:59:35.000
<v Speaker 3>money and you just doing all new stuff that you

0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:35.880
<v Speaker 3>don't know whether or.

0:59:35.880 --> 0:59:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Not it works.

0:59:36.560 --> 0:59:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.

0:59:38.880 --> 0:59:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So what if people when people come out to see

0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you on the road now they can expect a mix

0:59:43.800 --> 0:59:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of the new and.

0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's other stuff I have that didn't make

0:59:47.160 --> 0:59:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the special as well.

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:51.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, awesome. And now where does the transition for

0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:52.960
<v Speaker 1>podcasting come in?

0:59:53.800 --> 0:59:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:57.640
<v Speaker 3>I had started podcasting years ago, but I stopped Okay, Yeah,

0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:00.600
<v Speaker 3>so I feel like you gotta let show people know

1:00:00.640 --> 1:00:01.400
<v Speaker 3>your personality.

1:00:01.880 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that. Now, how how much? So you've

1:00:04.320 --> 1:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>been doing it for how many years? You took a break?

1:00:06.240 --> 1:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Took a break for two years?

1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Is that the two years you did in New York?

1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Ok it was just harder for me to get

1:00:11.280 --> 1:00:13.400
<v Speaker 3>resources and stuff out there, just because I lived in

1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:14.800
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey. I didn't live in New York.

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you did. You didn't know New Jersey City,

1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You did New Jersey, New Jersey.

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:22.240
<v Speaker 3>I did a city, you know where Edge Order, New

1:00:22.360 --> 1:00:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Jersey is no so edge Order, so all the New

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:27.840
<v Speaker 3>York sees.

1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>We see all of New York.

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Soon as you look out my window, you can see

1:00:30.560 --> 1:00:32.480
<v Speaker 3>all the skylines to the buildings in the water in

1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:34.680
<v Speaker 3>New York. So we live right there. I live by

1:00:34.720 --> 1:00:36.440
<v Speaker 3>the water, so we can see New York. So I

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:38.680
<v Speaker 3>lived over there, and it wasn't It wasn't an area

1:00:38.720 --> 1:00:41.800
<v Speaker 3>where the transit weren't very well New York, New Jersey.

1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey City has good transit, you know, but not

1:00:45.720 --> 1:00:48.480
<v Speaker 3>out there. So it was hard for a lot of comedians.

1:00:48.760 --> 1:00:50.480
<v Speaker 3>And some of them was like, oh, Uber over there.

1:00:50.480 --> 1:00:52.480
<v Speaker 3>And somebody one day was like, yo, it's one eighty

1:00:52.720 --> 1:00:53.560
<v Speaker 3>one way to get to you.

1:00:53.760 --> 1:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I said, yeah, I think who was it?

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Safe the Sounds lives over there.

1:00:58.400 --> 1:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh I didn't know that.

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he did, because I think he said that

1:01:00.920 --> 1:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Jour on the interview when he's talking about Brooklyn.

1:01:03.200 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, for Brooklyn was like an hour and fifteen to

1:01:06.440 --> 1:01:07.440
<v Speaker 3>thirty minutes away with me.

1:01:07.680 --> 1:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he was talking about Brooklyn.

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>And then I didn't even go over there, even though

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I loved it as much because it was so far.

1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like a three hour shits in the car

1:01:16.480 --> 1:01:18.919
<v Speaker 1>well from Jersey. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:21.040
<v Speaker 3>But see the seller and all that stuff was only

1:01:21.160 --> 1:01:24.520
<v Speaker 3>like twenty It would take me about twenty four minutes

1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>to get home and it would take me about thirty

1:01:26.320 --> 1:01:27.479
<v Speaker 3>five minutes to get to the city.

1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's not bad. That's not a bad trade off.
