Dollars slices, so dollar 0:00:43.360 --> 0:01:10.640 pizza slices? Okay, okay, So is this something you ate 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.120 on the regular or was it like you were cooking 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.000 up something else? And this is what I was eating 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.360 before stand up paid like doing the open mics and 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.000 you know, you get a dollar slice. My boy shout 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.520 out with sama. He would He actually taught me. He 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.440 was like, if you put hot sauce on the slice, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.960 like drizzle hot sauce on it. It's almost like the 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.720 pepperoni's there, like you could taste the pepperoni. And we 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.720 used to do that every day. We ask other comics 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.200 to have more money than us for a dollar just 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.280 to go get a dollar slice. And now have you 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.640 ever like now that you I would say, you're I 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.640 want to say you've arrived in your career. You're definitely 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.480 you're definitely doing well. Would you do you ever randomly 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.400 like get starving, hungry and say let me go get 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.200 a dollar slice? Or you know that's how much you 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.360 hate it? Yeah, it's over, it's over. Okay, okay, okay, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.760 So on a one to ten, if you were comparing 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.040 to slices, you have the dollar slice versus your average slice, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.840 Like where does this dollar slice range? You could get 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.760 a really good dollar slice that's like a six out 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.640 of a ten, you know, Oh you mean like a 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.160 random like just one day it comes up and it's 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.120 a decent like some of them, some of them dollars 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.360 places to be all right, you know for real, but 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.080 you wouldn't never done. I mean, it's not messing with 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.840 a real slice. Okay, okay, yeah, okay, So what did 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.080 you cook in the kitchen when you were struggling growth 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.840 ship like way worse than dollars. Like what I would 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.679 get this is I had a three dollar meal I 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.400 would do every night when I get home late from 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.000 open mics, I would get ramen. I would get like 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.600 a can of peas or corn and a cana tuna, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.960 and I would because you got the protein, you got 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.840 your veggie, and you got your start, you know what 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.720 I mean. And I put that ship together and mix 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.000 it up, you know, drain it a little bit, put 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.400 it even on a pan a little bit. Okay, Okay, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.040 did you add butter to your like sometimes? Okay, I 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.080 used to try to make it moves with a little butter. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.240 But let's just go ahead and try these dollar slices 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.040 we had to improvise today because we had to do 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.680 the uber eats or however. So we're just gonna eat 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.360 a slice of pizza just to kind of try to 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.919 get into what you were going through while you were 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.760 working your way to the top. So we're gonna take 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.919 a bite, all right, all right, mm hmm, Chase the 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.760 poverty saying, well, it's good, the pizza's colt. So I 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.160 can imagine it was like terrible, it was. It was 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.600 just bad. It was bad. I remember like maybe a 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.440 year unto your stand up, coming to New York and 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.520 you had you were legit like borrowing a dollar from 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.360 me to buy a slice because it's real. Yeah, it 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.920 was real. So there's one dollar slice place where the 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.400 dude you talked to him long enough, he just forget 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.680 that you didn't pay, and he just let you walk out. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.839 Me and my boy used to go there all the time. Yeah, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.240 but you guys just chatter him up, just talk to 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.200 this naked forever. Let there be a cute girl in there. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.840 He really forget Okay, okay, So tell us what was 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.200 going on at that time when you were doing these dollars, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:13.120 like well, you know, it was like no, um, I 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.000 open micing it. You know, you don't get paid to 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.320 do open mics. Sometimes you pay to do open mics. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:25.599 um doing like no exaggeration, like five to thirteen open 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.040 mics a day. I leave early in the afternoon, like 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.200 two in the afternoon and come home too in the morning. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.760 Just did that for like probably like a year and 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.960 a half, two years, and no part of you was like, oh, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.040 I don't know, maybe this isn't for me, or did 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.800 you get frustrated. Did you ever have like a day 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.920 job or anything? Kind of but not really. I couldn't 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.560 keep a day job because it was like to do 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.000 that much stand up you had to kind of just 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.360 commit to it and be broke. Is like it is 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.599 the only way to get really good. I would like 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.440 go in and out of day jobs kind of. Remember, man, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.840 I did Postmates and oh you did Postmates Bro's Oh 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.839 my god. I don't want to slander a brand on 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.240 the podcast. Man, they it's like they you make just 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.320 enough money to get hungry from walking around to buy food, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.720 and then your back broke again. And that's just how 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.160 it goes. It's like you deliver food that also makes 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.320 you hungry because you're like smelling people's food and ship 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.880 and then you like, well, I made five dollars off 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.760 that I gotta get something to eat. And then you 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.680 the five dollars gone and you're like, all right, well 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.039 I'll just deliver some more food. And then you deliver 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.120 that food, you like, I'm hungry again, and you just 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.120 it's like a weird fucking thing you're in. You just 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.480 make no profit, Like it's terrible. What other jobs did 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.880 you didn't you all like I think your house that 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.760 or something. Didn't you do some of those apps? I 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.960 would house it, I uh house that. I would I 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.880 use this app what was it called task Rabbit, And 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.039 I was terrible at making furniture. I would do like 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.680 the Ikea Furniture Ship, but I was getting so many 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.080 bad reviews. I made a crib and the baby fell 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.320 like it was like all funked up and uh. And 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.720 then like I was like, all right, well, I'm only 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.479 gonna do like pet sitting in house sitting because then 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.479 I get to stay in a nice crib and I 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.080 get to just chill and I could just charge a lot. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.919 And I was doing it for a very short amount 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.640 of time because I was sucking girls in the cribs 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.720 and somebody had like a camera something. Somebody found out 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.560 I sucked in their crib and it was over. Like 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.560 it was like bad reviews all of the ship, and 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.560 I was kicked off task rapping task grap It was 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.120 making money too, I was making money off task grabbing. Damn. Okay, Okay, 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640 So was there ever a point in your career where 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.880 the struggle hit where you had to like possibly reevaluate 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.000 or did you have pressure coming in where people were like, 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.880 maybe you should just quit and get a day job. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.200 The funny thing is, like I think with stand up 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.480 is funny because like people don't care about stand ups 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.840 enough to tell them to quit. They just look at 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.480 you like you're stupid for even trying. It's like the 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.160 idea of them telling you that quit doesn't even come 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.520 into their head. They're just like, really, you do stand up, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.800 and they just walk out like that. There's no like 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:03.200 second sentence. I interviewed a couple of comics like Lunell Earthquake, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.440 and one of the things that they have pointed out 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.640 which I never even thought about. I don't know if 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.480 anyone ever thinks about this when it comes to comedy. 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.880 But if you're listening to like your favorite Beyonce or 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.560 jay Z record, you go to their concert, you want 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.440 to hear the same song you know that you've literally 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.760 played in your your CD or your you know, your 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.160 AirPods a million times. But with comedy, you never want 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.160 to go to a comedy club and hear the same joke. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.120 So I started to think, I think, out of all 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.520 the jobs in the entertainment business, yours job has to 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.640 be the most stressful because you're dealing with council culture 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:43.520 and you're also dealing with like constantly like re re 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.560 re coming up with new materials, So like how do 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.560 you find that balance? Like how are you able to 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.840 like are you sitting at home? Like I gotta right today, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.640 Like I want to know like a day in the life. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.160 I'm very lucky to be like just a like I'm 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.440 a prolific creator. As my management say, um, I come 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.800 out my turnover rates really high, but I feel bad 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200 for niggas whose turnover rates aren't high. Like my turn 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:08.760 of rate is very, very high. What do you mean 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.720 by turnover rate? Like how quickly I could come up 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.640 with new material? Like it's very fast. Like if I 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.520 if I do a set on Comedy Central, I could 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.120 burn that material. I don't like to, but I could 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.480 burn that material and come up with a new set 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.440 pretty fast. Now, like every year, at this rate, I'm 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.640 probably thirty new minutes a year, which is pretty fast 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.400 from my from my point, But at some point when 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.240 you're like twenty years and you're like Kevin hart bur 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.880 you know these niggas, it's like you should be able 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.400 to come up with like an hour a year, which 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.840 is nuts. Nuts, but I'm not there yet. Now, when 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.640 you release a joke online and it trends, that's technically 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.360 considered you're retiring a joke. You're going retiring of a joke. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.320 I'm very on defense about that. I don't know what 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.240 do you mean spill it? If I mean it's not 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:54.960 on contract, I don't have to retire it. It's like 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.040 one day if a special comes out and there's something 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.200 that's online where I feel like, oh this would make 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.840 history and especial, I might just delete off the Internet 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.680 and put it in the special because it's my content. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.440 I'm the one you shared it. I own it still, Okay. So, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.080 because one of the comics that I had interviewed in 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.000 the past has said, like, you know, once you release 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.840 a joke, you really shouldn't say it again on stage, Like, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.120 how do you feel about that? I disagree. I highly disagree, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.839 because it's like who's seeing it, even if it goes viral, 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.640 even if it's like three million views, which like I 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.439 have stand up jokes that have like three million views, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.440 that doesn't mean that like when you do a show, 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.199 whoever is there has seen the joke. Your fans have, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.640 for sure, But to me, the concept of putting out 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.560 a special or something like that is to gain new fans. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.719 So it's like, your new fans aren't going to be 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.640 people that have seen that joke. When you do a 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.120 random show at the comedy club, guarantee you the crowd 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.880 has not seen that joke. It's just like viral is 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:52.000 not that big now. I would consider so people. Different 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.880 people have reached out to me about you and said, okay, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.679 they would compare you to a Chappelle And they say 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.320 that bainly because you strategy. You you straddle the almost 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.320 cancel culture. Like you say the ship that is like 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.080 that's just funny, but like you know, like do you 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.640 ever get nervous when you're writing content where it's like 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.320 a little bit scary in the cancel culture arrange? Have 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.240 you ever faired cancel culture? No? Not not no, not 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.760 material what So there's never been a point where you 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.960 were like, I like this joke, but I don't know. No, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.920 but I haven't pressured into dropping jokes, which very like 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.960 is inner turmoil all the time for me. Can you 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.440 give us like an example, I have a joke about 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480 Asian people that I got pressured into dropping once the 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.439 Asian hate things started happening, and I was really annoyed 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.880 because you're I find it's like the people that get 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.160 offended at the jokes aren't the people the joke is about. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.600 It'll be like you write a joke about Indian people 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.000 and a whole bunch of white people get mad. You'd 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.640 be like, nigg this is even about you and Indian 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.160 people smacking their knees. This is so funny. We do 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.199 like curry, you know what I mean. Like and it's like, 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.280 but the white people be like this is not age, 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.960 or like black people be like upset for Spanish people, 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.959 Like it's never the people the joke is about. It 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.680 a whole bunch of people that feel bad for the 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.720 people got it. It's like it's just annoying. Like I 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.320 had people tell me you dropped the Asian joke, but 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.040 when I would do it after the shows, Asian people 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:16.559 be taking pictures with me. They'd be like, man, the 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.280 joke was so great. Finally, some are you talking about us, 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:20.760 like this is what you talked about. That makes sense 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.679 because if black people I'm just speaking from black perspective, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.199 if we hear a joke that's clown of black people, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:42.080 we're gonna laugh, So I'm gonna throw a wild card 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.360 in here. Um, well, I got a couple more. I 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.000 got some questions before I thought the wild card just 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.920 remind me to to have a wild card in here. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.800 That's probably not gonna want to answer, but um, has 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.640 there ever been like another comedian that gave you some 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.840 advice that like was pivotal? I know you personally told 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.040 me stuff about Bill Burr is my favorite comic, like 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.320 one of my favorite comps, or gave me great advice. Yeah, 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.080 can you share some of that advice? I was about 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.680 to tape something for Comedy Central. It's like my first 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.760 like straight up stand up set didn't have to do 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.000 with the TV shows like straight up they were I mean, 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:15.880 technically it's a show, but it's like they were just 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.240 doing stand upon it And I was super excited, but 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.719 I was like nervous about what material to choose. Is 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.720 like fresh out of the pandemic. Pandemic is still going on, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.520 so I was rusty, and uh I asked him. I 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.080 was like, man, there's certain bits I want to like 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.200 say for a special one day, And he was like, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.520 what are you saving for? Like like your he just 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.440 see me do stand up. He's like, you're funny. He's 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.760 like believing your talent. He's like believing your talent. He's like, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.000 if you believe in your talent, that means do your 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.440 best material because you could die tomorrow and this will 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.720 be your legacy and then come up with new material 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.560 and it should be better than the previous material because 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.199 it's new. So like, don't ever hoard material for a 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.640 rainy day because that ra any day may never might 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.640 never come. And he's like, that's all ego telling you, like, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.600 I'm gonna have a special one day. I'm gonna have this. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.640 It's like, you don't know that you have an opportunity 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:06.559 right now, put out your best ship and then move forward. Yea. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.160 He was like, if you if every chance, he said, 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.800 every chance you get to be on TV or do 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.600 stand up in front of a mass audience, that's a 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.679 chance to get fans, to get industreated, like you to 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.840 get everything to work in your favorite career. Wise, so 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.120 do your best ship, Like don't hold back. It was 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.760 really good advice because I was about to hold back. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.040 Is there anybody else that gave you something that was 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.040 like stuck out? There's so many I had a comics, 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.280 tell me. Derek Gaines, he told me never played to 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:33.920 the back of the room. That was big early in 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.120 my career. That means don't play to the comics. So 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.920 some comedians do stand up the back of the room. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.280 The idea of the back of the room is like 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.719 comedians will hang out in the back of the room. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.280 They don't say they hang in the back room because 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.720 there's no seeds for comedians. And some comedians will very 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.400 much try to make the comedians in the back of 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.520 the room laugh and it's like because it's like it's 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.480 almost high school. It's like very like I'm the I'm 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.720 funny you guys, right, But the crowd would be like 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.000 because crowds and comics don't laugh at this aime ship. Yeah, 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.560 So like that was very good advice. He was like, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.920 comics will never pay your bills, like these niggs to 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.400 dap you up after the show. They're not gonna pay 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.960 your bills. The people in the crowd are gonna pay 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.360 your bills one day. Now, what's like the worst situation 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.280 you had when it came to hey, Because I'd imagine 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.280 that the more successful you get, there's gotta be little 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:22.000 issues of hate or something that creeps in, right, I mean, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.520 comics talk shit, but comics are always gonna talk shit. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.920 I don't I don't really face any crazy Hey, I'll 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.200 tell you what when I did that, Comedy Central said 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.320 that burging me advice one. I did a joke about 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.960 white women getting shot by the cops, and two days 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.160 later after it got released, the insurrection happened and the 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:42.720 white lady got shot by like like a security guard 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.000 or something. He wasn't even like a cop, but he 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.880 was like a security guard for like the capital or whatever. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.640 And man, they was on the internet acting like I 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.200 was psychic or Illuminati, like they it's so dumb, like 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.160 everybody is so conspiracy theorists about anyone in show business, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.840 like so like she got shot and they was like, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.160 you know that comedian just talked about it, and and 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.760 then it happened real mysterious, like real type type of energy. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.720 And I was like, niggad, I'm not like, I don't know, 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.760 I'm sorry, like it's just a joke. So, speaking of 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.200 like how people respond to certain things, I have to 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.360 ask you, Um, I don't even know if I even 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.160 asked you about your view on the whole. And I 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.280 don't want to bring it up. I really am. I 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.680 want to retire just for the sake of everyone's health, 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.080 mental health in this. But it came to the Will 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.720 Smith Chris Rock slap fuck Will Smith firmly, I will 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.960 say that on the podcast Fuck Will Smith. Yeah, I 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:39.520 don't care fuck Will Smith. Why Uh, that's he knows. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.360 He knows at this point he was wrong. If I 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.200 say funk Will Smith. And I'm a comic, he if 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.200 he was to ever see this, he wouldn't be shocked. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.000 He's had other people say fucking I'm sure since but 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.800 I mean, um, it's terrible for stand up Like you 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.360 are sending a precedent where it's like, if you get 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.800 offended up something that comedian says, you can literally physically 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.040 attack them. That's crazy. And not only is it sending 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.200 the president, but it's like the level of precedent is 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.040 like you smacked our king, Like there's nobody bigger than 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.040 Chris rock Like Chris Rock. You are smacking stand up. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.000 You are saying like if Chris Rocking gets smacked, any 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.720 of these niggs can get smacked because he's the he's 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.560 the biggest and the best, he's the most legendary, so 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.960 it's like, if you smack him, it's open season for everybody. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.560 So okay, so I understood, although he's working, it's like 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.520 he smacked him while he's working, Like I don't understand. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.400 It's like his job is to do what he did. 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.760 I definitely it was so funny because I actually don't 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.600 watch I think it was a m it was the Oscars. 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.440 The Oscars. I'm not one of those people that watch 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.200 the Oscars. You know. My husband is like an actor, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.720 actor slash comedian, so he lives for that stuff. And 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.400 the one time I'm watching it, I see the slap 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.800 and I'm like, oh, is this is what I've been missing? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.840 Like I said, oh my god, I thought it was stage. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.280 I was like immediately went to my phone because I 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.840 was like YouTube will have clips in seconds. I'm like refreshing, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.360 like what's that real? And I was like, oh ship, 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.400 I need to watch this show more. Like I did 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.680 not know, but you know, of course I understood the perspective. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.240 You can't hit a comment, you know, there's multiple reasons. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.240 But then the softer side of me was like, you know, 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.040 Will Smith's been in the game a long time and 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.880 there's so much pressure, and especially like it's one thing 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.800 when you're like Cat Williams. Cat Williams has his bad boy, 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.600 So when Cat Williams gets in trouble and goes to jail, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.520 it's like we're like, oh, it's Cat Williams, you know. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.080 But Will Smith has this like squeaky clean personality. And 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.240 I felt like, you know, I don't want to know. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.000 I know us as women, we put a lot of 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.399 pressure on our guys, like like, you know you're in 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.520 a great relationship when you can yell at your guy 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.800 and he just like shrugs his shoulders like whatever, like 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:48.680 you know, she's crazy today it's Tuesday, like for real. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.040 But you never know because sometimes women we put our 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.080 men under pressure. So I don't know, like I don't 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:54.919 know what was going on in their relationship for him 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.760 to like just snap. But I definitely think that that 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.560 in the industry, so much pressure that it's like I 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.240 think him saying I'm sorry for me was enough to 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.000 be like that's fine. We're human, Like I've snapped on 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.960 people that I Here's my issue with the apology, right 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.360 is it came months later and that night he apologized 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.280 to the whole academy and all the actors. But he 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.040 didn't apologize to Chris Rock. It's like, literally, the night 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.280 you smacked that nigger, you had a chance to apologize 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.480 to him, and you avoided apologizing to him. You apologize 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.000 to everybody else in the room, you didn't apologize to 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.640 the person you smacked. To me, if you wait months 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.280 and then apologize, it's like, okay, like I hear it. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.080 I mean good, it's not a bad thing. Well, now 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.960 I know if I piss you off, just apologize within 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.879 a certain time frame. I mean, he literally smacked this 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.760 dude on National TV. Apologize that night. If you're gonna 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.199 apologize to anyone, Yeah, I feel like every comic is 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.760 going to agree with you, because most most comics, you'd 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.159 be surprised. But most comics, well there's some that are 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.840 like comics that are like, well, you know, will you 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.600 know his wife been like shut up, man, I mean, 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.119 if you gotta think, Will Smith contributed a lot of 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.600 happiness to a lot of kids. I love Will Smith. 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.239 That's my favorite TV show ever. Yeah yeah, but now 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.879 used to be my favorite actor. To that smack, I 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.280 think you'll forgive him. I think so if he went 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.119 do you think he can even walk into a comedy 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.840 club right now. Probably not. I mean, he could walk 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.520 into anywhere a celebrity. I'm saying, though, do you think 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.000 he would get like booze or like some kind of 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.480 shade from comics. I'll tell you what. I've seen rock 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.040 walk into a comedy club since, and I've never heard 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.840 innovation like the ovation they gave Rock Terrorist came to 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.600 my eyes. I've never been so moved by innovation. I 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.879 couldn't even imagine what he was feeling. Yeah, Like I 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.080 think fans of comedy very much are like, we love you, Chris, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.600 Sorry that happened, you know. It's also just like a 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.159 bully move, like look at Chris Rocket, look at Will Smith, 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.360 Like I don't think Will would. I know that we've 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.040 all heard this, but like, I don't think we would 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.720 have done that to fucking like insert if Bernie Mack 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:01.679 was still alive or you know what I'm saying. Like 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.080 he very much like picked who to do it too, 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.480 And it's like that to me, rubs me the wrong way. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.639 But that's the thing. It seemed very impulsive, So I 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.320 don't know if it was like one of those things 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.400 where he was like I'm gonna get Chris. How implosive 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.840 was it? He laughed at the joke first, like he 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.480 laughed at the joke, and then he looked at Jada 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.800 and he was like, that's what I think women put 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.840 men like you just never know what's going on in 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.440 someone's relationship. I think that, Like I'm not saying she 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:31.480 used to blame, but you never know, like what is 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.320 going on that contributing Maybe he was clowning at home 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.480 and I don't know. Stuff took the time, but you 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.720 want this man. Is The sad thing about it is 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.800 it's truly just the disrespect of the art form because 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.160 it's like, well, is the same person who months prior 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.080 to this happening had a whole series about how you 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:46.960 want to learn how to do stand up and he 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.399 invited all these comedians on and help him. And he 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.399 was getting into the stand up art form and he 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:52.840 loves it. And I don't want to do it, but 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:53.960 I just want to do it as a hobby. I 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.120 want to get to experience it. It's like you love 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.040 stand up, but you don't love it enough to respect 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.240 it as like a respect people like craft and work, 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.480 you know what I mean, Like you wouldn't smack anybody 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.960 else were they working like you have to. First of all, 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.720 he's the best worker that we have. Yeah, yeah, it's 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.000 like the most professional stand up comedian is Chris Rock. 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.560 That's why he hit Will back. No, he handled it well. 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.040 But speaking of I don't want to get spent too 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.680 much time on Will Smith, you know, just a little 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.840 smidget because I want to get more out of you. So, 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.520 what a lot of you guys don't know is that 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.359 Eagle and I have a definitely age difference. We're not 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.320 going to say what it is, and so we grew 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.320 up a little differently. And so I want to know 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:34.679 a little bit of your backstory because I missed the 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.840 chapter of where the inspiration came for you to pursue comedy. 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.200 And I also want to know a little bit about 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:45.040 what your childhood was like, Um, everyone told me to 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.960 do stand up? How do you want to do this? Ship? Truly, 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.520 when you say everybody like, who friends mom, I could 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:53.679 say mom, because we got the same mom. You're the 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.760 same parents. But yeah, I left home at six. You 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.720 know there's a there's an age difference, But like WHOA 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.480 what environment did you grow up in? I'd say um, 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.159 you know. Mom was like, uh, it was just me 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:08.840 and mom. It's just me and mom. Mom was going 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.960 through a lot of mental stuff and Mom would cry 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.520 a lot, like every day, and I'd come home from 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.719 school and just tell her like funny stories literally from 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.000 like elementary school, and she was just crack up, start laughing. 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.119 And we watched Comic View all the time, We watched friends, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.080 we watched anything that was funny kind of get through 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.960 the pain. And she would always be like, you funnier 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:29.720 than everybody on TV, Like you cracking me up with 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.080 your little school stories. She's like, you could do that, 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.840 you could do We watched Comic View, which isn't you know, 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:36.720 but whatever, it's not the best, but we watched Comic 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.720 You She'd be like, you could do that, you could 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.119 do better than them. But I was like a little kid, 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.359 I'm like, no, this is stupid, Like she's crazy, she 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.400 doesn't know what she's talking about. But then in school, 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.720 like I started having friends. I would hang out with colleague. 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.160 I always give him credit first friend that He was like, 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.560 nig you're stand into comedian. You just don't know, Yeah, 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.680 you're funnier than everybody. And that was like young that 0:22:56.760 --> 0:23:00.680 was like third, like real young, and uh it started 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.480 spiraling where other friends with kind of hair colleagues say, 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.040 or they start feeling the same way, you know, you 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:06.560 should do stand up, you should do stand up. And 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:07.879 I always be like, no, no, no no, I'm not a 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.480 clown because I didn't respect it. That's an interesting thing 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:12.400 about the art form is it is very not respected 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.439 because people just don't know what goes into it. And 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.159 I originally didn't respect it. I was like, I'm not 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:20.359 a clown. That was my response. But then I was like, 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:22.480 you know, like twenty one and like what am I 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:23.920 gonna do? And it could be homeless, like I didn't 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:25.359 have anything to do with my life. I was in 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.120 community college. Like I was like, you go to college 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:31.000 and you're sitting Okay, so you're sitting there in class 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.440 and you're still debating like the hallway Holly that girls. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.760 I never went to class, So then where does this 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:42.359 epiphany like screw it, I'm gonna try it. Uh. I 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.239 was well, when I got out of high school, I 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:47.280 was thinking like something comedy related, but I was really 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:50.280 scared to get on stage. So I was like making 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.080 like YouTube videos and like stupid ship like that, but 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:54.560 it wasn't really getting in the track. I was just 0:23:54.560 --> 0:24:01.840 scared to get on stage, and uh, Dad took me. 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.119 He was like, well, let's go to let's see what 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.679 type of stage stuff you might want to do. So 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.639 he took me to the U c B at the 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.560 time that when it was open is Improv place and 0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:13.800 I watched improv is like a Saturday night and I 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:15.600 was like, not this, Like I don't want to be 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.240 on the team with a whole bunch of people all happy, 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.520 go lucky improv and stuff. Uh. Then he took me 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.080 to the Comic Strip and it was late night. My 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.400 boy to this day, Jordan Rock Chris is a little brother. 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.919 Ironically in this conversation, he was on stage. He's around 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.359 my age, and I remember watching him and being like, oh, 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:36.880 he's funny and he's close to my age. I feel 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.679 more like maybe this is something. And it got his 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.280 info and I started hitting him up every day like, bro, 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:43.720 I'm scared to get on stage. What do you think? 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:45.240 And he's like, let's just try and error, Like you 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.439 go up, you try stuff, it doesn't work, fix it, 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.040 do it again. And I understand it for months and 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:51.760 then one day I kind of cracked and just tried it. 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.280 I hated it quit for three weeks. You convinced me 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:57.320 to get back. I was gonna say, I remember getting 0:24:57.320 --> 0:24:59.119 a phone call from you saying like I'm going to 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.480 try it, and and you you went up one time. 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.640 I think you said no, I'm good, and I was like, 0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.199 I think my advice was shitty advice kind of. I 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.320 was like, just try it three times. You could like 0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.760 drink and get how you can just figure out how 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.800 it is and just try at least three times before 0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:17.840 you quit. And then like you did stand up like 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:19.920 one more time and you were like, yeah, I'm good. 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.439 You never did drugs to do it either. All it 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:25.800 took was one great response from the crowd. I remember 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:29.080 the joke. What was the joke? It was, I just 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.399 turned twenty one. I don't drink, so I google what 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.000 you can do at your age, and you can adopt kids. 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:36.880 So I'm gonna adopt the seventeen year old and boss 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.919 them around. And it was like like bit about how 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:44.800 I basically adopted Nigga who's basically my age, and like yeah, 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.720 like a huge response. People clapped and ship and I 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.399 was like this is like I want to do stand up. 0:25:51.440 --> 0:26:10.080 This is great. So when you started doing stand up, 0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.080 did a lot of girls enter the scene like, oh 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.080 my god, Like because I've seen I've gone out with you. 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.200 I almost walked into rooms with disclaimers like I'm his sister. 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.480 Definitely don't want him. You can have him type attitude, 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:23.119 like do you think that being a comic, there's a 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:27.560 lot of like girl fans or with every comic or 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.720 just just select for you. I'll say this, I got 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.560 pussy before stand up, Like there's a lot of comedians 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.120 who definitely like lean on. There's a lot of people 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.520 in show business in general. I feel who lean on 0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:42.600 like I'm this person and girls like that, and now 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:44.800 I lean on that to get girls. To me, that's 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.359 just toxic and very tricky borders. I don't do that. 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.280 Like I was getting girls before stand up, get girls 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.440 after stand up during stand up, like it's not about 0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:56.960 stand up. Stand up does help, yeah, yeah, but you 0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:01.440 know I was chilling before. So I don't know where 0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.880 we are time wise, but um, but I do want 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.879 to know is there any interactions would say someone that 0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:12.480 you looked up to that was like oh bad, Yeah, 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:14.720 Like was there a celebrity and you can name drop. 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:19.439 I'm not doing that. That's okay. Well, can you just 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:25.239 tell trying to rule my career every celebrity i'm has 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:30.399 been wonderful. Well, celebrities aren't like someone because they're not 0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.040 like agents managers. But I guess they can still hate 0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:34.960 on you a little bit, like what if they want 0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:37.080 you to go on road or something. Now that comedians 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.200 are the most helpful people in my career, everything I can, 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.439 everything I've gotten in my career I can attribute to 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.560 a comedian. Industry has not given me ship straight up. 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.159 I'm sure they hate to hear this on camera, but 0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:48.520 it's the truth fixative. You guys don't like it. Like 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:52.359 comedians have helped me get everything, even stuff I've gotten 0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:56.000 from industry, it's been like started through a comedian down lines. 0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:58.040 At some point they got my foot in the door. 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.199 So when you're gonna tape, when you taped Comedy Central, 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.560 you get how does it work? Like sell us the scene, 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.919 Like tell us what you're doing when you get the 0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:09.919 phone call that you're about to do this, Like I 0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.760 want to know all the details and emotions. Three or 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:14.879 four times I've done three, Three or four times I've 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:18.960 done Comedy Central. The first time I was I did 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:21.199 This Week at the Seller TV show that was on 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.480 Comedy Central for a couple of seasons. I was the 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.199 new comic at the Seller. That was like getting all 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.359 the spots right, new young guy. Everybody loved me. ST 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.440 at the Seller loved me, and it was very much 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.240 just like they were taping it. It was a Seller show. 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.000 They were pushing all these comics on ST that weren't 0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:39.400 past the Seller. I was someone who was passed, who 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.680 was a new young buck. I they were like st 0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:44.560 kind of helped book the dates, so she threw me 0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:45.960 a bunch of dates for tapings. But that doesn't mean 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.400 you're gonna get on. You have to kill. You have 0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:53.160 to be topical. I killed was topical got on and 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.560 like I would love to say more about like my 0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:58.360 little ideas and like what went on that helped me 0:28:58.360 --> 0:28:59.560 get on, but I'm not gonna do that, But I 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.400 will say I killed. I got on. It came out great, 0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.560 very happy. What was your emotions at the time, though, like, 0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.840 especially as your first Comedy Central, Like what were you 0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.960 so nervous? I was so nervous. I remember the first 0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:17.360 hyping that got on. I fucking hate cringeworthy to this 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.200 day just looking at it. Oh, I gotta find that 0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.480 I did a joke about um because it's all topical. 0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.600 We get to sell her, which, by the way, super 0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.760 hectic the way they make us right, it's literally it's 0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.560 like the day of they give you the topic, you 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.480 gotta write a joke and then doing your front of 0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:37.160 a live audience. So the joke I did was about 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:42.160 how Trump had pardoned asap Rocky. Oh, okay, okay, I 0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:46.800 think the joke, the joke hit. People like it, But 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:48.920 I watched it and I'm like, boy, did I stumbled 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.840 through that wording because I was so nervous. I was 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:54.880 so frea nervous. It's like my first time. I don't think. 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.280 I definitely don't remember seeing any stumbles. Oh, every time 0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:00.480 I see it, I noticed, I'm like, oh what then? 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.880 Was I saying? Do you watch all your stuff? Because 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:07.320 I know some comics that will not watch like they're taped. Really, 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.560 I'm gonna be honest, I don't think Darius watched his Netflix. Really, 0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:15.520 I will say it say it so it's not easy, 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.600 but I watched really are you now? Are you one 0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:20.640 of the comics that still record all your sets, so 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.960 you don't records the audio, okay, and do you play 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:26.160 them all back? I used to when I was like 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:28.640 starting out, I'm real bad at it. Now I'm real 0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.160 bad actually listening to them. But occasionally if I need 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.680 something like last night you saw me, I did a 0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.360 new tag off the top of the head that was crisp, 0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.760 like it perfect and hit. I'm going to go back 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.640 and listen and figure out how I worded that. Now, 0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.480 you you don't do open mics anymore? Correct? Now when 0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:48.000 you have a new joke, are you working it out 0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:53.960 during your paid sets? Yeah? Oh wow, that's good. That's good. Yeah, 0:30:54.200 --> 0:31:00.160 you're you're you're extremely confident in like you know, at 0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:03.440 this point, I'm confident that I can make any set 0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:06.800 go well. So, like, you know, you got a new joke. 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.280 Depending on the room you in, you might just do 0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:10.840 new jokes, you know what I mean, Like, you're so 0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.040 confident in that room. But like if I'm at the 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.360 seller or something like, that's a high pressure room. It's 0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:17.920 like I'll throw it towards the middle of the set. 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:19.800 Maybe you know what I mean, or or it won't 0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:21.280 be the first time I've said it. Maybe I said 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.080 it a couple other times in other places. But either way, 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:26.880 if the joke goes bad, I'm confident in my skills 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.200 now that one joke going bad isn't going to ruin 0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:32.040 the set. I can quickly flip it into something that 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.480 kills and then just kill for us a set. So 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:37.800 for new comics, like what's a day in the life 0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:43.280 of a comic that's arrived? Uh, waking up whenever you'd like, 0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:48.280 um and uh, you go out to night and go 0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.080 just It depends where you live too. I mean in 0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:53.520 New York it's like literally every day you're working and 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.720 you're doing multiple sets to night, So like what hours 0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.720 are you working? Like like eight pm? Too? Like three pm? 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.760 Like what are your hours? I can leave the crib 0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:05.200 around seven some nights and get home at two in 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.360 the morning. Um, or I could leave some nights at 0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:10.280 nine and get home at like midnight. It depends on 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:14.360 the night, but usually the earliest I'll be out of 0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.520 the crib used on average is like seven, and the 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.360 latest I'll be in the crib Now that I got 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:23.320 a girl, it's like it's like two three okay, okay, 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:27.680 really I remember coming to New York a couple of 0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:30.680 times and hanging with you. I tried. I tried very 0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:33.480 hard to hang out with him and be that supportive sister. 0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:35.160 When he comes to l A, I call myself like 0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:38.040 his uber driver. This was before he had a license. 0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:39.640 Like I would be like, Okay, I'm going to be 0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:43.640 a suber driver. His his little cheerleader or his number 0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:46.440 one fan, I'd say, and then um. But when I 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.560 come to New York, it was almost like I would 0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.960 have to literally put like a red Bull drip in 0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:53.920 my veins because I mean it got to the point 0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:55.640 I got to a certain age I was like, look, bro, 0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:57.760 just just bring me a chop cheese at a Snapple 0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.240 like when you get back, because that was your thing 0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:03.680 at night. Yeah yeah, and you would get home in 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:06.080 like four or five and that would be like pretty 0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:10.080 much my breakfast and your dinner. Yeah for sure. I 0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.320 mean stand up in New York is like real, Like 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.000 there's a reason there's been like TV shows about it 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.480 and ship I mean it, it is truly the mecha, 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:21.680 like it's constant. I look at comedians as entrepreneurs because 0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:25.640 you know, from an outside perspective, you know you're thinking 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:29.200 about you know, your art, right, you're putting your art out, 0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:31.840 but you have to manage like your bookings and your 0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:35.560 times and being on time and your negotiations and how 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.320 you're gonna like build this career. So it's funny that 0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:41.840 you know, from like an audience perspective, you're like, oh, 0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:44.880 this guy's just charismatic and he's funny. But you know, 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.200 and then you know also the fact that we're like 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.320 make me laugh. Like you know, you go to comedy club, 0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.320 You're like, make me laugh, dude, Like that's why they 0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.320 serve alcohol, right, But then it's like knowing you guys 0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:57.600 up close, it's just like there's so many attributes to 0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:01.240 comedy that I'm like, the whole world doesn't even like consider. 0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:04.960 And then, like you said, it's almost like people just 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.000 don't respect the craft, even my I was thinking about 0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.480 the entrepreneur entrepreneurial level the other day because I was 0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:13.200 I was talking I was talking about girl. I was 0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:16.640 talking to her about, um, how comics like that aren't 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:19.560 getting doing doing standard for a living, can't like some 0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:23.000 of them can't wrap their head around or put the 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:26.359 energy into the concept that like the way you turn 0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.480 this into how you pay your bills is a slow 0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:32.120 build of like, Okay, I'm making this much amount every 0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:35.440 month guaranteed. Okay, now next month, if I add these rooms, 0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:37.560 these comedy clubs, I'll be making that much a month 0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:39.759 every guaranteed. You know what I mean. It's like, eventually 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.759 you get to a point where you're guarantee that you're 0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.320 going to bring in a certain amount every month because 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:47.320 you've just built it that way. Like my earliest books 0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:49.840 of like counting every month. I was making like a 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:53.920 hundred and sixty bucks in January, eighty bucks in February. 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:55.520 You know what I mean, for the whole month, for 0:34:55.560 --> 0:35:00.600 the whole month, but was for The thing is when 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:03.800 you're doing what you love, like you you counting those 0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.759 twenty dollars, you know what I mean? Like, damn made 0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:08.880 this month off? Stand up, I'm fucking made it. My 0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:12.480 god good. Were the comedy clubs feeding you? Because most times, 0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.320 when I know, these com clubs don't feed you until 0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:20.960 they give you half off. Oh dagny. Occasionally you get fed, 0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:22.719 but by the time you getting fed by comedy clubs, 0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:24.399 you already got enough money to pay for your own ship. 0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:27.000 But in the beginning, when you're starting, they don't give 0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.200 a funk. They like, yeah, do this stand up? How 0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:31.560 long did it take you to go from I mean, 0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.480 we really want this transparency, but like, I know you've 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:36.600 been at this for a while, but how long did 0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:40.560 it take you to go from eighty dollars a month 0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.759 to get to where you're at where you're like, you know, 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:49.080 I know you're doing well. Surprisingly not that long like 0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:52.320 a year or two. Okay, it's a year. Well, I 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.319 mean for most people like living on eighty dollars a 0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.200 month for years, but I mean it feels like forever. 0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.120 But it didn't feel like that to you. Don't feel 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:01.440 like that, especially because just like you know, it's like 0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.239 eighty and then it's like you hit a certain point 0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.160 in the year you're making like two hundred dollars a month. 0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:08.480 But you gotta think about it. That's like a ducking 0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.920 upgrading your one. You feel like you damn I'm doing 0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:15.359 something like a month like you feel because you gotta think. 0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.160 This is how I used to say. It's my comedian friends, 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:20.080 I'd be like, nigked if you had someone tell me 0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.479 this too. They were like, he's at the time Nico 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.120 told me this, so I'm actually stealing from him He's like, 0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:30.399 if you make four dollars a month, that's a metro card. Boom, 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:35.200 that's a bill paid off jokes, you know what I mean. 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.200 You make a hundred dollars a month, that could be 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:40.520 dollar slices all month. You know what. It just it 0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.560 just adds up and before you know, you're like, oh, 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:47.399 I'm paying rent, I'm paying for food, real food, metal card, 0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:48.560 you know what I mean? Before you don't you like 0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.520 I could get some sneakers. You're actually making money, you 0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:55.520 got paid taxes. Yeah, Now, there was never a point 0:36:55.560 --> 0:37:00.400 in your career where you thought, nah, no, okay, effects 0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:05.440 so okay, okay, So what piece of advice would you 0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:10.720 give to a comic coming into the game. Just worry 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:15.320 about being funny. Worry about being funny for real. Just 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:17.239 do as much stand up as you can. Worry about 0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:21.800 being funny. And if you suck and you're terrible after 0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:26.120 years and years, after like five years, nigga quit now. 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.440 But wait, no, I agree. So I'm just curious now 0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:31.600 that you say that, because I meet guys that are 0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:36.759 like rappers or they think they're they're rappers, you know, 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:40.439 but passion, but you know, like they're like not good 0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:42.400 rappers and they're at it for like ten years. You know, 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:44.760 you meet that forty five year old guys selling CDs. 0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:47.279 I don't know why guys are still selling CDs on there. 0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:51.560 I don't know why nobody's playing the CD playing. I 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.400 feel so bad in Los Angeles and they'll be harassing 0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:58.160 signing CDs and I'm like, where are they gonna play this? 0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:00.719 Where are they going to play I haven't seen a 0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.200 CD player or DV actually, I don't even know where 0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:09.520 he thinks burn the CDs at record. But when you 0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:11.680 see these forty year old guys that are still rapp 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.160 and you're like, you know, like I used to have 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:15.960 a rule, like I wouldnt even date someone in the industry. 0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:17.520 I didn't want to run lines, I didn't want to 0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:21.160 do any of that stuff, you know. But with comedy, 0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:23.719 like even seeing your growth, you were funny, you were 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:29.920 always funny, but your level of funny right now is 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.560 like I describe Eagle, and it's not because he's my 0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:34.480 baby brother, because I have no problem keeping it real 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.560 with people. Were just avoiding the conversation to not keep 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:43.000 it real with people. But but when I describe you, 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.239 I'm like, oh, he's going to be a legend. He's 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:47.320 going to be up there with the Richard Priors because 0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.240 of the style of comedy, Like, I have no doubt 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.600 like the way you write, and I would love to 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:55.120 know before we close out, like how you like what 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:57.399 your writing processes. Like, I don't know if you're eating 0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:59.600 lunch with your girlfriend and she does something quirky and 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.600 you're like me, write about that ship, or or you're 0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:05.000 joking with your homies and then you make a joke 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:06.759 and then you write it. I would love to know, 0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:09.719 like genuinely, like you asking right now because I thought 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:16.600 you was gonna say yeah, I I. Well, there's two ways. 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.040 So one way is if we're chilling, were talking and 0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.719 I say something funny. I've gotten to a point now 0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.080 where I could tell the difference between like funny and 0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:27.960 convo funny and funny that I could actually translate on 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:30.240 stage and kill with. So if I say something funny 0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.400 and convo and it's that level where I could translate 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.799 on stage, I'm like, okay, I'll take that. Also, it 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.759 has to be what I care about talking about, because 0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:39.719 now I'm at a point where I didn't think a 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.359 lot of comedians get to this point most comedians get 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:43.000 to this point. You get to a point where you're 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.439 so good to stand up that you could like make 0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.040 anything funny, Like you could be, like, write a joke 0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:49.960 about this napkin, and by the time we get out 0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:51.000 of here, by the time you get done with your 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.480 next interview, I have ten jokes about that napkin, and 0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:57.160 eight of them bitches be funny, but we made challenge them, 0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.879 but gone for real, for real. But when you get 0:39:59.880 --> 0:40:02.480 to that point, you start going, I don't want to 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.520 just talk about anything because now it's boring. So you 0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:07.880 very much find the ship you care about and the 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:09.680 ship that makes you laugh, and the ship that makes 0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:11.520 you go and wonder and think, and you go, I'm 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.560 gonna right about that.

Yeah the slice is cold. Yeah yeah no, 0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:45.080 but thank you so much. Ego ego with for y'all, 0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:49.240 and what's your Instagram ego with official? Thank you Ego 0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.640 with official if you guys want to catch Ego with 0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:54.319 You're more than likely going to have to be in 0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:57.720 New York. Otherwise you have to go online stalker's Instagram 0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:59.840 find out what city is. I think you can actually 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:02.560 am him. Oh, I do have one last question. I 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:06.000 know we're gonna go over time, but confessions your confessions 0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:09.520 on Instagram. I'm not a big Instagram person, but he 0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:11.640 has this thing where you go on Instagram and he 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:15.120 tells his fans like confessions. I've never seen it before, 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:18.200 but if you go on Eagles Instagram, his fan base 0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:22.280 is absolutely hilarious. It is better than scrolling through Instagram. 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:25.239 When he opens up his confessions, people will go on 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:29.439 there admitting crazy stories. But then sometimes his fans will 0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:33.239 interact with the stories and like, a started doing that 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:34.520 and that has nothing to do with me. That's their 0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:37.239 own creative yes, and it's funny. It'll be like I 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:41.359 slept with my dad's sister's mom, and then the other 0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.480 person would be like, I'm the dad's sister's mom and 0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:48.319 let me tell you, and the stories take a turn 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:50.880 for the for the best. But I don't think anyone 0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:55.000 has a more creative and open fan base. They'd be 0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:58.640 admitted to like stealing each other boyfriends sleeping with they 0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:00.480 My boy told me, he was like, you need to 0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:04.319 talk show the way people open up to you. I 0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:08.480 promised following you on Instagram like I would say. When 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:10.719 I see confessions go up, I think it's like what 0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:13.279 every thousand followers or something. That's that's the new thing 0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:16.240 I've been doing every thousand followers. I'll do confessions, yes, 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.359 and he'll be like, you know, if you don't know, 0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:21.320 He'll tell them the rules and it is on and popping. 0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:23.719 There is no better day than a confessions day on 0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:27.160 Eagles stories on Instagram. And I'm not even kidding you. 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.719 If you're a fan of like Jerry Springer or any 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:34.280 of the above, it's entertaining, especially when the fans interact 0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:36.719 with each other and they just they like feed off 0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:40.560 the crazy ass stories.
