41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,920

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: like very therapeutic for me. I mean I can put

236
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: Just a sidebar. How much butter do you go through?

237
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: That's how I really test if you could cook.

238
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: I use a lot of butter, right, That's what my

239
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: flavor is now. I use like no salt butter a

240
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: lot sometimes, you know. I mean that's people with my

241
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: hot blood pressure. You. I mean you could put real butter,

242
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: that's fine, but no salt butter is on you still

243
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: see in your vegetables. I feel like you should be straight. Okay,

244
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: so then boom, chicken down, chicken in the pan? Right

245
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: there you go. We already cut our chicken daghs. Because

246
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: we're doing egg rolls. I like to cut them kind

247
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: of you know small. Okay, we're not doing chicken tender,

248
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,000

249
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

250
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,200

295
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: it lout, you know what I mean, Like my my

296
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,200

Speaker 2: fight or go like just all this emotion. So it's like,

302
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: what could I do? So cooking and therapeutic, chopping it

303
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: up the vegetables, seasoning enough stuff, looking at different recipes

304
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: I can get online, putting that into like a form

305
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: of therapy, like cooking you know what I mean, being

306
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: detailed in it, right, because I put my brain off

311
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: most people who never been in any form of therapy,

312
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: like skeptical, and my first one didn't go well. You know,

313
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: God is good man. I've been doing well in stand up,

314
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: but I had a therapist in midway through We're talking

315
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: about my brother dying, and like what it meant to me?

316
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I had opened up so much.

317
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: I was crying in the session, and as I was crying,

318
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: he was like, wait a minute, he said, you do

319
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: stand up? I said, yeah, he did. I seen you

320
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: at the Arlington improvlem Man, you're hilarious. I closed the

321
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: laptop so damn fast because I felt like I was

322
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: being it was intrusive, like what I mean, So I

323
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: stopped going and I got like an old black lady

324
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 2: and she came of life.

325
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Do you talk about her? Does

326
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: she's still your therapist?

327
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? She is? She is. Yeah, she's really dope, man. Like.

328
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: She kind of helped me just understand certain things, you

329
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean. She kind of emphasized what the

330
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: doctor told me one time, like you can't just manifest

331
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: the stroke sitting. You can't just get hyping you're finna

332
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: have a stroke. That's not how it happens. Because my

333
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: brother had a stroke. So my mom, my brother had

334
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: a stroke. My brother died at forty two, right, I

335
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: just turned forty three. I was like, something going to

336
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: happen to me my dad? Did my mom got cancer?

337
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, did your dad passed from a

338
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: stroke or something?

339
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: He was older. He died in seventy eight, but he

340
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: had cancer, but it was like he had it like

341
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: for like it literally four days he found out he died,

342
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: but he was seventy eight, so I could digest that,

343
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: just miss him. Yeah, my brother died, you know, he

344
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: had a stroke in twenty eleven, you know, twenty ten.

345
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: Excuse me, he passed in twenty seventeen. Yeah, And so

346
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: that was kind of hard to deal with, just because

347
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: I never thought. I knew he had a stroke, but

348
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: I thought he would be fine, and him not being

349
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: fine kind of like really affected me.

350
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Why did you think he would be fine after the stroke?

351
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: Well, I knew to stroke, so that was my first

352
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: time in my family dealing with one. So you know,

353
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: he had lost a bunch away. He was straight ten

354
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: and he got down.

355
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: With like two sixty after the stroke.

356
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: After the stroke, and he had learned like therapy, his

357
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: speech was getting better, and so I didn't know the

358
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: life expect to see when you have a severe stroke,

359
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: it's literally seven to eight years. But they told my

360
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: brother he wouldn't walk off the hospital. So when he

361
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: did all that and he was living, he got back

362
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: to working, I was like, okay, cool.

363
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh and he got out the hospital too.

364
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got to the hospital, he got back to

365
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: working doing things. It was like, okay, cool. And then

366
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, I was on a road with Marlin in

367
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: New York and he used the umpire that was like

368
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: his side up. So after he had a stroke and

369
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: I guess he had a heart attack on the field,

370
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: and there was like on a Monday, I talked to

371
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: him and he was in the hospitals, like yoa, I'm

372
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: gonna come Tuesday and I'm gonna see you. And then

373
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: the oary bet and so then Tuesday morning I got

374
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: the call he passed away. So I got it, you

375
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean. When I got there, he had

376
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: already passed, and so dealing with all that was like hmmm.

377
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: And so it's like that was twenty seventeen, May thirtieth

378
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: actually coming up May thirty, twenty seventeen, and he was like, okay, cool,

379
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: you gotta get over that. I'm working on the show,

380
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: Marlin TV show. I'm wrighting on it, and my mom

381
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: comes to visit me. Boom boom on set. It's a

382
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: great thing. Boom boom. As soon as I'm done, we've

383
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: done tape and she hit me with I got cancer.

384
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, Oh my god, so then.

385
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: That to happen boom, and then especially after your dad's

386
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: experience with cancer, you're definitely probably scared today.

387
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you really, to be honest with you, you clock

388
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: in to like everything gonna be okay because you've got

389
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: to for her. So that's like you clock into that,

390
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: like everything gonna be.

391
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Straight, you mean, like facing her in person, like you.

392
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: You are nervous, but it's like your faith kicking, like

393
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: you know, prayer words, praying for you. And I looked

394
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: up people who actually survived and read them stories versus

395
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: the people who didn't. Just feel like my own mental capacity.

396
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you were still trying to like march the

397
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: good March. This is without therapy.

398
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is without therapy. Now listen. So I've gotten

399
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: the therapy. I remember, so Martin, Martin Williams, I opened

400
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: him a lot and so, but this time I take

401
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: care of my mom. She had cancers during COVID it's

402
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: before any vaccinations. I go through a show with him,

403
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: and they still doing shows in the County Club. But

404
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: the thing is it's not at full capacity. Everybody spaced out.

405
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: I get that. I tell him, I say, hey, man,

406
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: that's a lot of people in here. He was like, yeah,

407
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: you think so. I was like, yeah, do the show

408
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: go back to my mom? He called me like that's

409
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: probably on Saturday. Sunday. He hit me on Tuesday like,

410
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: hey man, I got COVID. You know, just make sure

411
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: your mom is good. Stay away from your mom. And

412
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: now something happened in my body that triggered me. I

413
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: was like, I thought I could hurt my mom giving

414
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: her something. I ain't have COVID, but just the thought.

415
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: That's when my body first. I first time it started shaking,

416
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: couldn't breathe type stuff. Calling my friend like yo, she's like,

417
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: you have anxiety. I said, what the hell is at?

418
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Got to a doctor first,

419
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: you know, I tell it on stage, a white lady.

420
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: I said doctor first. I was like, hey, my body's shaken.

421
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: I can some medicine. She's like, I'm not giving you

422
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: no medicine and like kind of boot and I was like,

423
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: So I dealt with that for like maybe a month later,

424
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: kept dealing with it and then got that black lady.

425
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: I told you about a doctor, and then she referred

426
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: me to a therapists, a black therapist, and then we

427
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: was good money from there, you know the sense of

428
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: like dealing with it. Yeah, I mean started becoming way better. Yeah,

429
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, We're about to be good one.

430
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Now, how regularly do you go to therapy?

431
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: Now? Don't have to go as much like I do.

432
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Therapy Probably once a week, no excuse me, once every

433
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: other week. Yeah.

434
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say if it was once a week.

435
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: Like how yeah, once every other week. It's just like

436
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: now like checking in managing like different stresses like my

437
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: mom's health right now. You know, he's kind of managing

438
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: stresses that don't take everything on personally. That's what therapy

439
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 2: to teach you.

440
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: Where did the divorce come into play and all that?

441
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: I got to I got married in twenty nineteen, divorce

442
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one, so it's like twenty.

443
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: Minutes okay, Yeah, it was like two years. Yeah it

444
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: wasn't Britney Spears.

445
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's funny, Okay, But yeah, I was married quick.

446
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: It was like in love and out of love faster.

447
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: It was just a situation where I think, you know,

448
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: it was best for the both of us to kind

449
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: of like separate and get divorced. You know, I think,

450
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: you know, going into it, it is like I just

451
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 2: lost my brother really didn't know what depression was. I

452
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 2: think me and her, I think he look back at now,

453
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want the best for her. I

454
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: think it was just two people who weren't really connected

455
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: that tried to us let's just say we can get married,

456
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: versus like having an organic connection and deciding to do this.

457
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: And I think it manifested during the marriage. And then

458
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: when my mom got cancer, it was just some things

459
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: that we were transpirings, like it's best that we separate,

460
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: and I think we I think it's best for both

461
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: of us. So it's like married a year and a half,

462
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: and then people ask me like, would you get married again?

463
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: I was like, absolutely, you know absolutely, I like being

464
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: I feel like.

465
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: It didn't Your perspective on marriage is a little bit

466
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: different though, after going through it.

467
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: I think that even though I got divorced quickly, I

468
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: was respect up on marriage is like marriage is the

469
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: pinnacle of like deciding to fight for somebody you know

470
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: day in and day out that you love. You know

471
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: what I mean. I just did it through the wrong person,

472
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But I still believe in

473
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: those principles. I would definitely get married. It wasn't like

474
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: I lost a bunch. I think men who rightfully, So

475
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: when you get a divorce and you've like accumulated so

476
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: many assets, and I was talked to an Uber driver,

477
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: kid you not and he said, I'm Uber and he's

478
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: be a millionaire, he said. My wife left me for

479
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: a younger man, he said, and no prenup or whatever.

480
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: Half of everything went to her. So now she's like,

481
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: I think that perspective of some men, or like, I

482
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: would never do this shit again because even if I

483
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: love you, if you happen to not want to be

484
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: with me no more, I risk losing so much.

485
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: Right, But it also depends on the state, right, Yeah.

486
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: But I didn't have kids, we didn't have property, so

487
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: I didn't have that happen to me. Right.

488
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: So it's just like, because you guys just filed some

489
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: paperwork and went away.

490
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: It should have been that quickly, but it took a while.

491
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Now you got you don't have any kids at all? No, okay,

492
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: you want to have kids. Hey, guys, he's not married,

493
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: is no kids?

494
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: Married? No kids? You know? Career?

495
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So prior to all of this, let's back all

496
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: the way up to pre comedian Sydney. Yes, because I

497
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: kind of want to know this backstory.

498
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: So pre comedian Sydney Ready raised by dad from musko Ye, Oklahoma,

499
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: twenty years about twenty years older than my mother. Right,

500
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: So my dad was born in nineteen thirty two, right,

501
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: that's old, right, the Korean War. So my mom from Gary, Indiana,

502
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: hard and noss a woman, oldest of her family, born

503
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: in Guardena, California. Right, raised out there for like eight years,

504
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: and then we moved to Texas, Forward, Texas. So I

505
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: was raising Forward Texas from nine until I moved back here.

506
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: Was hoping playing basketball, right, but knew my capabilities. I'm not.

507
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: I'm always been a realist, right. I can't do what

508
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: it takes to get to D one right O D two.

509
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: But had a good time playing play at junior college.

510
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: But I always kind of comedy was like my thing.

511
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: I can make people laugh in my own little way.

512
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 2: I'm not an extrovert by any means, right, but I

513
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: still make people laugh.

514
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: And he knew this early on that you had this.

515
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: I watched like Fresh Prince a lot, and like literally

516
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: watching first Prince Billy, I was like, I want to

517
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: do that. I want to do that. That's literally what

518
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: I want to do. So I was like basketball was

519
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: like not going well. In junior college, I was like,

520
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: I want to see this acting thing. So I got

521
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: into an acting class. I was like twenty, I did

522
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: like some print work, like for a foot action ad. Right,

523
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 2: I was like on every foot action poster in America

524
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: and them all what. At twenty, I was like, I'm

525
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: going to LA. My mom was like boy. I was like,

526
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: they paid me a thousand dollars. I didn't care. I

527
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: bought my ticket and then I moved out to LA

528
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: to pursue modeling originally because I'm silly, and they said

529
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: absolutely not.

530
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: And you're modeling, yeah, because I six four, you're six four.

531
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, still doesn't.

532
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Work that way.

533
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: No, you have that ads and stuff I never really believe. Yeah,

534
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: I know what it is. Now.

535
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: We're in a new air though, because when you let's

536
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: you know.

537
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 2: The dream.

538
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Okay, No, you're right, I just.

539
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: Want to be paid. I want to be paid one.

540
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 1: No, No, you're right, you're right. Well, first of all,

541
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: you're very you you you you are. We already know

542
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: what your destiny and your purpose is. So but yes,

543
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: all right, go back to your store. I didn't mean

544
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: no wordes.

545
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: So then I was doing that and then you know,

546
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: stand up, and I started stand up. And then I

547
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: was like waiting tables, you know what I mean, waiting

548
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: table with the DJ's restaurant in Burbank, and I was

549
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: like making good money. I was like, damn, which is

550
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: a trick to any artists, because when you move out

551
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: here in La ex expensive, you gotta sacrifice. Did I

552
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: come out here to get rich doing this on my dream?

553
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: So I literally stopped working during the night shift's bartending,

554
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: which where you make your bread. So I just said,

555
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: give me lunch shifts, which is a way cut difference.

556
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: But I can do stand up at night. So I

557
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: was like, they even try to make me a manager.

558
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: True story. They was like, yo, why don't you be

559
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: a kitchen manager? You know, I run the kitchen Dadada,

560
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: you can make I forget such and such a year

561
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh no, I was like twenty five.

562
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: I was like, no, man, I really believe in my

563
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: stand up. I'm good. And they was like okay. And

564
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: then like I got my first TV appearance in two

565
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: thousand and seven, Boom started. Now listen it was PDD persisted,

Speaker 2: Wins twenty fourteen, going toward Marlin probably around later two

744
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: thousand and twenty fifteen, right he asked me to go

745
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: on a road with him to I think the first

746
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: place was Nashville, Tennessee. We went, yeah, in Nashville, Tennessee.

747
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: Because I had been doing stand up longer.

748
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: Than Marland, so like you said, you had.

749
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, I've been doing a cent away longer than Marlin.

750
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: So I've been doing stand up probably a decade before

751
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: Marlin start.

752
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: But was the call did it? Was it like oh

753
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: my gosh? Or was it because you guys had been

754
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: working together so long?

755
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: It was like whatever, No, it's never whenever, when you

756
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: get to work with a superstar, you get to learn.

757
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: Now we develop a close relationship over time, but initially,

758
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: like he would be in clubs doing stand up, so

759
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: he was approachable, so we knew him, so it wasn't

760
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: a starstruck moment. And like I've been knowing the family

761
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: for a minute through Chante and Damon Junr Like and

762
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: Damon Junior kind of start stand up together. Okay, So

763
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: it was definitely like a he was like, you know,

764
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: a cool moment, you want to do a road date,

765
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: like okay, bet, yeah, very excited. And then you learn

766
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot, you know what I mean, Like as he's

767
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: learning the craft that stand up and like you know,

768
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: from being an actor, it's like you kind of learn

769
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: how to be a star, you know, and how he

770
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: deals with different things, his work ethic, like that man

771
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: gets he works out every day before.

772

Speaker 1: The show, works out as it hits the gym every day.

773
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: And I never assume that Marlin works out so much

774
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: during the day, eats very well, and his body is

775

778
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,600

785
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: the little aggroll things.

786
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because it's our last meet.

787
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I'm really invested in this meal and the story. Guys,

788
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: this is so when you get the first tour date,

789
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: are you what are the emotions of that?

790
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: I have it on tour before with him though, Oh

791
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: with him, it was just that we go to Nashville,

792
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: you know, then you kind of like go to the show,

793
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: do my time, you know what I mean? And I

794
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of help him with his stand up as far

795
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: as like if I have a joke I think can

796
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: benefit him off what he was saying, you know, give

797
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: him that. Well now now because I'm worst baby, Oh yeah,

798
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: give him that. And then it became like consistent and

799
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: now we developed like you know, a friendship more. And

800
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: then like he was preparing for it first special and

801
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: that was real fun because you like got a tour

802
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: bus and we go across the country like performing.

803
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh and most comedians they don't really just give jokes,

804
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: by the way, right, Yeah.

805
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: But see it's like when people are like you establish

806
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 2: a relationship with somebody, It's like, yeah, I can make

807
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: money charging jokes, but this man has brought me on

808
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: a road. It's like a rapport. It's like whoever I

809
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: go on a road with, it's like the opportunity to

810
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: be on the road, thank you. So if I have something,

811
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: it would behoove me to tell you, because it's like

812
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: it's not even you know, and my blessing ain't attached

813
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: to your success, you know what I mean. So it's like, yes,

814
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: it says, doesn't mean I'm not gonna get blessed. So

815
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: if I have something for you, I'm give it to you.

816
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: Now. I had seen you do the stand up at

817
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: the Black Party and I love him. Yeah, shout outs

818
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: to Chris Spencer and the Elliott Brothers. You have a

819
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: lot out of jokes, you know, I don't think I

820
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: saw all your jokes that I've seen in person on

821
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: the special. At what point do you how do you

822
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: figure out which jokes are you going to release? Because

823
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: we're in a digital age and you know, like some

824
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: that's a hard call to which jokes you're gonna to

825
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: kind of give up, you know, and so when you

826
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: do a special, you kind of technically in my mind,

827
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: I would assume you're like retiring the joke, right.

828
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's what story am I telling? Right? So if

829
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling my cup is full, all the things in

830
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: my cup that have made me anxious and my points

831
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: of view, those bits gotta go in there, okay. And

832
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: so there's like, okay relationships. When I talk about the

833
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: letty who broke up my place, now I can retire

834
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: the dating my dating perspective going into love is blind. Boom.

835
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: Now it's like, Okay, suicide, I could talk about that

836
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: because I've dealt with that in my family. Boom, do

837
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: that then get to my mom. So it's really basically

838
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: I choose by the theme of the show. So like

839
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I mean debating if my next specials

840
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: called two Things Can be True, there's a bunch of

841
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: perspectives of how tooth pe can be true. Those will

842
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: go into the bucket of like what would be decided

843
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: to perform, Like random jokes won't make it right. So

844
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 2: it's like random jokes that are just kind of funny

845
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: or people might know me from. If it doesn't fit

846
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: the Oprahall theme or what I'm trying to do, then

847
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: those don't make it. Those can live online.

848
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: How often are you planning to release specials?

849
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: Now? It feels so good just to release his last one.

850
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: I want to Now I'm like, oh, I want to

851
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: release another one in a few months. Okay, So I'm

852
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 2: thinking two a year right now, maybe two three years?

853
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: Wow?

854
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, they seeing at least a deep due kind

855
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: of like the blueprint of like putting out a bunch

856
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: of good quality product. Its like influenced me to be like, yo,

857
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 2: if you keep putting great product out there, people will

858
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: keep coming back, you know what I mean. So I

859
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: think he set the bar on the hustle on how

860
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 2: to put out your own product online.

861
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: Really so, did you have to finance the project?

862
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: No, this woean was finance for me. They actually called

863
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: me they had a spot available, right I didn't. I

864
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: was trying to shoot my special, you know, thinking about

865
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: it putting together. These people call my manager were like, hey,

866
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: we have a slot open. Would he like it? You

867
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Say, we're paying for the special?

868
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 2: Like oh absolutely.

869
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: Now it releases on YouTube or on YouTube, but it's

870
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: under their financing.

871
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 2: So how does this it's under their YouTube so their

872
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: YouTube pages. Yes, a one hundred pound gorilla, they have

873
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: like five hundred and twenty some thousand subscribers on their page.

874
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: So release on their page and we're doing well, like

875
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: the mixed with like my push and they put some

876
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: advertising behind it. We dropped it yesterday and it said

877
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: sixty thousand views already, so the goal is to get

878
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: it to a million, so I think we do on

879
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: track of doing it.

880
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's awesome, thank you.

881
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: And look these egg rolls you want to put in

882
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: here just two three minutes aside they use a rack

883
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: or you can use them four just to kind of

884
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: let a drain cut this greasauce so we don't burn

885
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: ourselves boom and then you kind of clean as you

886
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: go because all therapy boom boom, kind of as you

887
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 2: will as you go as you go. But let me

888
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: set you at first, this is our we'll use this

889
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: as a plating dish.

890
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: Besides the little bit of a gap in what was

891
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: like the biggest hurdle that you feel like you had

892
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: to you ended up going through during your whole career.

893
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: With my mother's health, Like you know, she's alive, you

894
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I think I think the biggest

895
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: journey currently would be you feel like away being away

896
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 2: from her now for you know what I mean. So

897
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: it's like she's able to take care of herself, but

898
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: like because I've lost family and like you know, I mean,

899
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: it's like every moment I'm away, like working or doing

900
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 2: something that has to be valuable time spent, because when

901
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: you're away from her, you be feeling like a bad son.

902
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so I think the hardest thing in therapy

903
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 2: is to learn that I'm not a bad son. I'm

904
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: doing what's best for my family. But I think just

905
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 2: because I've lost family, every moment i'm away from her

906
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: sometimes can feel guilty, you know what i mean? So yeah, wow,

907
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 2: got deep on you? What so the everyone was ready,

908
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm super happy. So I'm gonna cut it for you.

940
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: the one that you said. But we were like, man,

941
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: he obviously he's not vegan. And I said, maybe there's

942
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: a reason to it. So we went Yeah, they sell

943
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: it at Target. I don't know if they sell it

944
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,840

949
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to no, but you tell that person, yeah,

00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: it was all me, you know what I mean, top

951
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: of my head type of business.

952
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: Then when the episode drives, you know.

953
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: You could cut me out of the episode, like, look,

954
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 2: I made chicken ear rows, you know what I mean.

955
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, do you ever notice this? I don't know. For me,

956
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: I feel like the closer my circle is, the less

957
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: they've watched my stuff.

958
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: Because they're so used to you.

959
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: Probably my will be like, I don't know, I've never

960
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: really watched it. You know, I'm like, oh okay, it's

961
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: like four years later.

962
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the side too. You can't waste it.

963

Speaker 2: You can get a hole if you want, I will.

966
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: You know what.

967
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: The hardest part about the show is if someone cuts

968
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,479
Speaker 1: something really good and I know you're on a time crunch,

969
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: but I'll usually be like, call up for like two

970
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: seconds so we can enjoy this. Damn I got distracted.

971
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: M that was good.

972
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: This is delicious advice. Yeah, any advice for Thank you

973
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: for catching me on that. M for comics, yeah, for

974
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: comics and then secondly for people dealing with stress.

975
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: MM. I say for comics, two things. Mm your first

976
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: couple of years and stand up, stop worrying about being good.

977
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: Really it's like, really, just learn how to be comfortable.

978
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: It's like when you get into a boxing ring, you

979
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: have to learn boxing. You have to learn how to

980
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: be a doctor. Yeah, even if you've been doing it

981
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: a year, you have to learn certain techniques to get

982
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 2: you to be at a level where people trust you.

983
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: So when your first couple years of comedy, just do

984
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: so many reps to learn and don't worry about like

985
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: even posting videos right now. Your p stand up for

986
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: six months is not gonna hit like you're stand up

987
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 2: when you're doing it for four to five years. Yeah.

988
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: So when we're being a rushed or like showcase yourself

989
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: being a rush to build yourself and then really work

990
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 2: on your audience. When you want to promote a video

991
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: real quick, you be doing set up six months, don't

992
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: put up the stand up video, put up. You just

993
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 2: work on gaining your audience. And when your voice becomes

994
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: more mature and stand up, that's when you attack them.

995
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: The first time. They first impression of you should be like,

996
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: oh my goodness.

997
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: Right, wait, how do you go back to how do

998
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: you work on gaining your audience?

999
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: That's like whatever it is that you do, what you're doing,

1000
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: you cook, right, so then you have a show about cooking.

1001
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: So online, find out what you know, what your niche is,

1002
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: if it's like doing reaction videos, if it skits, if

1003
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: it's like posting stand up videos, just be cons consistent

1004
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 2: on all platforms and then listen. They got streaming university.

1005
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm forty three. I'll be learning from these dudes. Stay

1006
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: consistent and go live on TikTok every day. What's a

1007
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: trending song I can attach to my comedy like learn

1008
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: like learn the brand of online. Focus on that, right,

1009
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 2: it's a new era. Focus on that and build your

1010
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: stand up and then present it when the food ready.

1011
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: We can't eat raw chicken, you'll stand up raw in

1012
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: the first year. You ain't cooked it yet, you know

1013
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 2: what I mean. So just focus on that and then

1014
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 2: when it's ready, present that to the world. But like,

1015
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: focus on the hours it takes to be great, which

1016
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: is like putting in the time of doing stand up anywhere.

1017
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 2: Coffee shops. It don't matter.

1018
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: But now how do they stay keep that consistency focusing

1019
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: on the reps if they get say booed, because they're

1020
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: not focusing on the laughter.

1021
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: Or what every fact.

1022
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me, here's napkins.

1023
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: Every time you gonna say, you learn something. So if

1024
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: you got boo that's fine. I got boog before. I

1025
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: still put our special came out to this girl. From

1026
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: the consistency and learning off that bed preparation, you learn stuff.

1027
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: Curry might go three from fifteen from the floor. He's

1028
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: still the greatest shooter of all times. He's gonna keep

1029
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: putting up shots. So there's the consistency and the work ethic.

1030
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: And you might be bad, and you can go to

1031
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: a trainer, which is somebody or older comedian. Can I

1032
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: give you some advice? Go back to the fight?

1033
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: Okay?

1034
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's like any movie the boxer got beat

1035
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: up and then he wins in the end. You're just

1036
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: getting beat up right now?

1037
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Who was your go to person that kind of was

1038
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: that person that would different.

1039
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: Says in my career. When I first started, it was Alizadi.

1040
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: He's the first person that kind of put me on

1041
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: stage and they gave me a guest set knew my

1042
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: brother you know me and him. Then it became like

1043
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: Chris Spencer, then Tony Rock took me on the road

1044
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: originally Marlin. Right now Ian Edwards big influence, he's a writer,

1045
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: big influence in my stand up when I was, you know,

1046
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: around him. So right now I have like a circle

1047
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: of people I trust Tyler James Roywood Jr. Ali if

1048
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: I have something, or my boy Chris Tremo. It's a

1049
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: circle of people I trust with my excuse me, my thoughts.

1050
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: I might not necessarily want a joke from you, but

1051
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: how can you expand my thought on this premise? And

1052
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: then attack is extra? But like, how can you open

1053
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: my eyes? So I got like maybe four or five people.

1054
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: Do you feel like they or was it a case

1055
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: where they were attracted to you because they saw your

1056
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: because you're very infectious, like you're very like, oh my

1057
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: god us like I love him like you know? Was

1058
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: it was it one of those cases where you approach them.

1059
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine it was them approaching you like I

1060
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: see this diamond with friends, okay, friendship.

1061
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 2: So it's like the people I'm close with, my circle

1062
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: works extremely hard to right. So we're trying to help

1063
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: each other. So if Tyler I said something on stage

1064
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: when he come off, if my brain's like, oh boom,

1065
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: come here now, I might not take the time with

1066
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: somebody I don't know as much. And then if they

1067
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: asked me and I've seen it cool. But with my

1068
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: my friends about love, like Tyler, check on my mama,

1069
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: I send her stuff and I'm not even knowing. It's

1070
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: like flowers, like whatever Tyler needs.

1071
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: That Taylor, we love you.

1072
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like whatever you need. It's like in

1073
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: that moment, I you know, I'm submissive with my talent

1074
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: to you. You know what I mean, because it's like

1075
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 2: I love you my friends.

1076
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: So and that's very hard to get in la. Do

1077
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: you feel like comedy is more of a loving From

1078
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: what I've seen in comedy up, I have friends in

1079
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: it or family in it, it feels like it's it's weird.

1080
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: From the outside, it feels like it's very supportive. Even

1081
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: going to your special and seeing all the comics that

1082
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: came out, it's like it's it's weird. You hear about

1083
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of hater aid, but for the most part,

1084
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: there's like this family system.

1085
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like any other job, like professional sports, you

1086
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: got teamate probably don't fuck with each other as much,

1087
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 2: or you don't like each other as much your regular job.

1088
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: God be discerned. Not everybody don't like each other, but

1089
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 2: you do have people that we're like a support system.

1090
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: The majority of people want to see you win. There's

1091
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: got some people that maybe don't right what you want

1138
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: a podcast called My Cup is Fool where I talk

1139
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: about the situations I talked about my special, talk about

1140
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: the real stories of them actually happening, and like how

1141
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: I felt about them. So it's more of a podcast.

1142
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 2: If a man who has anxiety and thinks he's going

1143
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: on in his life through a podcast form and I

1144
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: have guests, but take out the special. And if you

1145
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 2: have anxiety, like you ain't weird, especially as a black dude,

1146
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: you feel like insecure because when that attack happens, you

1147
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: feel defenseless. Tell somebody you know, check yourself into therapy

1148
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: because it does help.

1149
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: And that's like talk therapy helps you.

1150
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah in person.

1151
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, some medication, but you don't do the medication anymore.

1152
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: Nah, Nah, I don't really like the medication for me,

1153
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I like talk

1154
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: therapy and I do take some medicine if I'm having

1155
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 2: an attack. I don't take a daily like lexipro like

1156
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: they be able to want me to. I don't take

1157
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: that as much anymore. But if you are having a

1158
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 2: panic attack, I will say this works. All the remedies

1159
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: to me, don't be working. If you feel overwhelmed and

1160
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 2: you're doing that and you're feeling this overwhelming feeling, get

1161
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: a piece of ice. I know it sounds silly, get

1162
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 2: a piece of ice rubbing in your hand, okay, because

1163
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: the coldness of the ice will shock your brain and

1164
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 2: you instantly be just thinking about how cold it is

1165
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 2: and you will settle what Trust me, I know. It's

1166
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: like the TikTok acts. I was like, man, whatever I

1167
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: was having one, I said, I did like this. You

1168
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: learned it from TikTok Dog that's TikTok University.

1169
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: Now have you had people approach you like where they

1170
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: were like, man, I haven't told anybody about my anxiety

1171
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: and or like what I've been feeling, like this allows

1172
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: me to be comfortable.

1173
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: Or yeah, the podcast helps with that a lot. Like

1174
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 2: healthy the special will too. After my shows, a lot

1175
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: of black men come up to me like, yo, I

1176
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 2: got an episode called DDG did that a game? Right?

1177
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: I talk about losing your father? And then a lot

1178
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: of men came with to me have the show like

1179
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: dark that episode, and a lot to me like I'll

1180
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: be going through the same feelings. So it's like that

1181
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: form of like expressing what I go through has definitely

1182
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 2: allowed me to meet people like me, you know what

1183
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: I mean. It looked like me, you know what I mean.

1184
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: So it's like I'm happy for that. I didn't start

1185
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 2: it for that, but like if I could like tell

1186
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: my story and somebody like be influenced or feel comfortable

1187
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 2: enough to come up to me and be like yo,

1188
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: I'll be feeling insecure I be feeling like this, then

1189
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 2: it's working what I'm doing, you know what I mean.

1190
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: I feel like when you're as vulnerable as you've been,

1191
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: as easy for people. I hate to say this word

1192
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: cause I sound like really lame, but like you know,

1193
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: it's easy for people to love you versus like just

1194
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: like you. They're like, oh my god, I feel a

1195
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,479
Speaker 1: connection because of that level of vulnerability. The one question

1196
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: I didn't ask, and I know you have got like

1197
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: one minute left. Is how much of a pivotal role

1198
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: did your father play and who you are today?

1199
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: M big And my father was older so when like

1200
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: we was outside doing things together a lot, he was older.

1201
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: So he helped me with like a perspective, you know

1202
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 2: what I mean. His whole thing was like even with

1203
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: me pursuing his dream like and not going to college

1204
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: like that, his whole thing was like, have a plan

1205
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: and make sure God is a part of your plan. Right.

1206
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 2: That was my one my first tattoos, and it was like, okay, cool.

1207
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 2: So as long as I was had a plan of action,

1208
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: he didn't care. He knew right now, he said, And

1209
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 2: he's just say, your situation doesn't define you how you

1210
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: come out, your situation does, right.

1211
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

1212
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: And so like this is back in the time when

1213
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: I first started TV. The Bad Boy's the thing I

1214
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: told you about my favorite memories of my pop. It

1215
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: was like it was on DVD and he was in

1216
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 2: his office and then like randomly I walked into office

1217
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: and he was like this maybe a year after it

1218
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: came out and he was watching it. I said, what

1219
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 2: you're doing? He was like, I'm watching my son and

1220
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: he was so proud. So that's probably the moment I'm like, man,

1221
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He was heavily influenced on

1222
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: just like my mindset. It was like how to approach things,

1223
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, how to deal with people,

1224
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 2: even women like. He was very influential on like respect

1225
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 2: and things like that.

1226
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, yeah, all right, Wow, I feel like

1227
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: I got to fully understand the make of Sydney Steeler.

1228
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: I'll appreciate you.

1229
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,080
