<v Speaker 2>on some music, you know what I mean, make it

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.760

<v Speaker 1>Okay right, and is there a reason why it was Jon?

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Cause it's a little tinier. I got a little bite

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to it, okay, right for your sauce, okay, uh boom.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And then you wanna put some hot sauce, okay, right,

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>that's like for a kick. Now do you like spicy food?

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:21.800

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>if you don't like a lot of spice, you know

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 2>what you could do is cut this with honey. Right.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you put it in there and it's like

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>too spicy, that's fine. You just put some honey in

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>there and make that in there and contact the steam away.

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.640

<v Speaker 2>put the well, I'll put this down first, put the

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>chicken in, and then when I mix them, when I

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.400

<v Speaker 2>because now we're goin to put the chicken in. Boom.

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I like that you cook the butter and chicken.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Just a sidebar. How much butter do you go through?

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how I really test if you could cook.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I use a lot of butter, right, That's what my

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 2>flavor is now. I use like no salt butter a

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>lot sometimes, you know. I mean that's people with my

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 2>hot blood pressure. You. I mean you could put real butter,

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that's fine, but no salt butter is on you still

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>see in your vegetables. I feel like you should be straight. Okay,

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>so then boom, chicken down, chicken in the pan? Right

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>there you go. We already cut our chicken daghs. Because

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 2>we're doing egg rolls. I like to cut them kind

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>of you know small. Okay, we're not doing chicken tender,

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>so it's not no necessary for them to be real big.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.200

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment in time.

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dog, when I learned how to really well just

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>really I guess tapped into cooking. I was going through

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>it lout, you know what I mean, Like my my

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, my brother died like twenty seventeen. That's my

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>best friend at boone, I see, and then like you

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, went through divorce and then my

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>mom got cancer twice. So it's like, mmm, then all

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 2>these motion I needed something like I ain't gonna go

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>fight or go like just all this emotion. So it's like,

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 2>what could I do? So cooking and therapeutic, chopping it

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>up the vegetables, seasoning enough stuff, looking at different recipes

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I can get online, putting that into like a form

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>of therapy, like cooking you know what I mean, being

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>detailed in it, right, because I put my brain off

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that and now I'm focused on just cooking.

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, Now did you do any type of therapy

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>going through all that early on?

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely? In the beginning. You know, I was probably like

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 2>most people who never been in any form of therapy,

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>like skeptical, and my first one didn't go well. You know,

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>God is good man. I've been doing well in stand up,

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 2>but I had a therapist in midway through We're talking

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>about my brother dying, and like what it meant to me?

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? I had opened up so much.

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was crying in the session, and as I was crying,

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>he was like, wait a minute, he said, you do

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 2>stand up? I said, yeah, he did. I seen you

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.079
<v Speaker 2>at the Arlington improvlem Man, you're hilarious. I closed the

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 2>laptop so damn fast because I felt like I was

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 2>being it was intrusive, like what I mean, So I

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>stopped going and I got like an old black lady

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 2>and she came of life.

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Do you talk about her? Does

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>she's still your therapist?

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? She is? She is. Yeah, she's really dope, man. Like.

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>She kind of helped me just understand certain things, you

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. She kind of emphasized what the

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>doctor told me one time, like you can't just manifest

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the stroke sitting. You can't just get hyping you're finna

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>have a stroke. That's not how it happens. Because my

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>brother had a stroke. So my mom, my brother had

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>a stroke. My brother died at forty two, right, I

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 2>just turned forty three. I was like, something going to

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>happen to me my dad? Did my mom got cancer?

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like, did your dad passed from a

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>stroke or something?

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 2>He was older. He died in seventy eight, but he

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>had cancer, but it was like he had it like

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 2>for like it literally four days he found out he died,

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>but he was seventy eight, so I could digest that,

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 2>just miss him. Yeah, my brother died, you know, he

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>had a stroke in twenty eleven, you know, twenty ten.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, he passed in twenty seventeen. Yeah, And so

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of hard to deal with, just because

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I never thought. I knew he had a stroke, but

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought he would be fine, and him not being

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>fine kind of like really affected me.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Why did you think he would be fine after the stroke?

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I knew to stroke, so that was my first

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>time in my family dealing with one. So you know,

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>he had lost a bunch away. He was straight ten

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and he got down.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>With like two sixty after the stroke.

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>After the stroke, and he had learned like therapy, his

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>speech was getting better, and so I didn't know the

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>life expect to see when you have a severe stroke,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>it's literally seven to eight years. But they told my

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>brother he wouldn't walk off the hospital. So when he

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>did all that and he was living, he got back

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to working, I was like, okay, cool.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh and he got out the hospital too.

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he got to the hospital, he got back to

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>working doing things. It was like, okay, cool. And then

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was on a road with Marlin in

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>New York and he used the umpire that was like

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>his side up. So after he had a stroke and

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess he had a heart attack on the field,

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and there was like on a Monday, I talked to

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 2>him and he was in the hospitals, like yoa, I'm

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna come Tuesday and I'm gonna see you. And then

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the oary bet and so then Tuesday morning I got

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the call he passed away. So I got it, you

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. When I got there, he had

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 2>already passed, and so dealing with all that was like hmmm.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>And so it's like that was twenty seventeen, May thirtieth

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 2>actually coming up May thirty, twenty seventeen, and he was like, okay, cool,

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 2>you gotta get over that. I'm working on the show,

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Marlin TV show. I'm wrighting on it, and my mom

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 2>comes to visit me. Boom boom on set. It's a

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>great thing. Boom boom. As soon as I'm done, we've

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>done tape and she hit me with I got cancer.

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what, Oh my god, so then.

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>That to happen boom, and then especially after your dad's

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>experience with cancer, you're definitely probably scared today.

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you really, to be honest with you, you clock

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>in to like everything gonna be okay because you've got

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>to for her. So that's like you clock into that,

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 2>like everything gonna be.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Straight, you mean, like facing her in person, like you.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 2>You are nervous, but it's like your faith kicking, like

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, prayer words, praying for you. And I looked

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>up people who actually survived and read them stories versus

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the people who didn't. Just feel like my own mental capacity.

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you were still trying to like march the

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>good March. This is without therapy.

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is without therapy. Now listen. So I've gotten

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the therapy. I remember, so Martin, Martin Williams, I opened

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 2>him a lot and so, but this time I take

0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 2>care of my mom. She had cancers during COVID it's

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>before any vaccinations. I go through a show with him,

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and they still doing shows in the County Club. But

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>the thing is it's not at full capacity. Everybody spaced out.

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I get that. I tell him, I say, hey, man,

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of people in here. He was like, yeah,

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>you think so. I was like, yeah, do the show

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>go back to my mom? He called me like that's

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>probably on Saturday. Sunday. He hit me on Tuesday like,

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>hey man, I got COVID. You know, just make sure

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>your mom is good. Stay away from your mom. And

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 2>now something happened in my body that triggered me. I

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 2>was like, I thought I could hurt my mom giving

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 2>her something. I ain't have COVID, but just the thought.

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 2>That's when my body first. I first time it started shaking,

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>couldn't breathe type stuff. Calling my friend like yo, she's like,

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 2>you have anxiety. I said, what the hell is at?

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? Got to a doctor first,

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, I tell it on stage, a white lady.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I said doctor first. I was like, hey, my body's shaken.

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I can some medicine. She's like, I'm not giving you

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>no medicine and like kind of boot and I was like,

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>So I dealt with that for like maybe a month later,

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 2>kept dealing with it and then got that black lady.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I told you about a doctor, and then she referred

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>me to a therapists, a black therapist, and then we

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 2>was good money from there, you know the sense of

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>like dealing with it. Yeah, I mean started becoming way better. Yeah,

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, We're about to be good one.

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Now, how regularly do you go to therapy?

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Now? Don't have to go as much like I do.

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Therapy Probably once a week, no excuse me, once every

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 2>other week. Yeah.

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say if it was once a week.

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Like how yeah, once every other week. It's just like

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 2>now like checking in managing like different stresses like my

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.639
<v Speaker 2>mom's health right now. You know, he's kind of managing

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>stresses that don't take everything on personally. That's what therapy

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to teach you.

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Where did the divorce come into play and all that?

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I got to I got married in twenty nineteen, divorce

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty one, so it's like twenty.

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Minutes okay, Yeah, it was like two years. Yeah it

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't Britney Spears.

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's funny, Okay, But yeah, I was married quick.

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>It was like in love and out of love faster.

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 2>It was just a situation where I think, you know,

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:50.439
<v Speaker 2>it was best for the both of us to kind

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 2>of like separate and get divorced. You know, I think,

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, going into it, it is like I just

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.959
<v Speaker 2>lost my brother really didn't know what depression was. I

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 2>think me and her, I think he look back at now,

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't want the best for her. I

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 2>think it was just two people who weren't really connected

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>that tried to us let's just say we can get married,

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.679
<v Speaker 2>versus like having an organic connection and deciding to do this.

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think it manifested during the marriage. And then

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 2>when my mom got cancer, it was just some things

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that we were transpirings, like it's best that we separate,

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>and I think we I think it's best for both

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 2>of us. So it's like married a year and a half,

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and then people ask me like, would you get married again?

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, absolutely, you know absolutely, I like being

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I feel like.

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 1>It didn't Your perspective on marriage is a little bit

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>different though, after going through it.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that even though I got divorced quickly, I

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 2>was respect up on marriage is like marriage is the

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 2>pinnacle of like deciding to fight for somebody you know

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 2>day in and day out that you love. You know

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. I just did it through the wrong person,

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. But I still believe in

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 2>those principles. I would definitely get married. It wasn't like

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I lost a bunch. I think men who rightfully, So

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 2>when you get a divorce and you've like accumulated so

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 2>many assets, and I was talked to an Uber driver,

0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 2>kid you not and he said, I'm Uber and he's

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.159
<v Speaker 2>be a millionaire, he said. My wife left me for

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a younger man, he said, and no prenup or whatever.

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Half of everything went to her. So now she's like,

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that perspective of some men, or like, I

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>would never do this shit again because even if I

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 2>love you, if you happen to not want to be

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 2>with me no more, I risk losing so much.

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Right, But it also depends on the state, right, Yeah.

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't have kids, we didn't have property, so

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have that happen to me. Right.

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's just like, because you guys just filed some

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 1>paperwork and went away.

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 2>It should have been that quickly, but it took a while.

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Now you got you don't have any kids at all? No, okay,

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 1>you want to have kids. Hey, guys, he's not married,

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>is no kids?

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Married? No kids? You know? Career?

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So prior to all of this, let's back all

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the way up to pre comedian Sydney. Yes, because I

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of want to know this backstory.

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>So pre comedian Sydney Ready raised by dad from musko Ye, Oklahoma,

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty years about twenty years older than my mother. Right,

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>So my dad was born in nineteen thirty two, right,

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that's old, right, the Korean War. So my mom from Gary, Indiana,

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 2>hard and noss a woman, oldest of her family, born

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 2>in Guardena, California. Right, raised out there for like eight years,

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.159
<v Speaker 2>and then we moved to Texas, Forward, Texas. So I

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>was raising Forward Texas from nine until I moved back here.

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Was hoping playing basketball, right, but knew my capabilities. I'm not.

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm always been a realist, right. I can't do what

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>it takes to get to D one right O D two.

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>But had a good time playing play at junior college.

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>But I always kind of comedy was like my thing.

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I can make people laugh in my own little way.

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not an extrovert by any means, right, but I

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 2>still make people laugh.

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>And he knew this early on that you had this.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I watched like Fresh Prince a lot, and like literally

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 2>watching first Prince Billy, I was like, I want to

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>do that. I want to do that. That's literally what

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I want to do. So I was like basketball was

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>like not going well. In junior college, I was like,

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to see this acting thing. So I got

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>into an acting class. I was like twenty, I did

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 2>like some print work, like for a foot action ad. Right,

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.479
<v Speaker 2>I was like on every foot action poster in America

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 2>and them all what. At twenty, I was like, I'm

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 2>going to LA. My mom was like boy. I was like,

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 2>they paid me a thousand dollars. I didn't care. I

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.919
<v Speaker 2>bought my ticket and then I moved out to LA

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to pursue modeling originally because I'm silly, and they said

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not.

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And you're modeling, yeah, because I six four, you're six four.

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, listen, still doesn't.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Work that way.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>No, you have that ads and stuff I never really believe. Yeah,

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I know what it is. Now.

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We're in a new air though, because when you let's

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 2>The dream.

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, No, you're right, I just.

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Want to be paid. I want to be paid one.

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.959
<v Speaker 1>No, No, you're right, you're right. Well, first of all,

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you're very you you you you are. We already know

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>what your destiny and your purpose is. So but yes,

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:50.239
<v Speaker 1>all right, go back to your store. I didn't mean

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>no wordes.

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So then I was doing that and then you know,

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 2>stand up, and I started stand up. And then I

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 2>was like waiting tables, you know what I mean, waiting

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 2>table with the DJ's restaurant in Burbank, and I was

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 2>like making good money. I was like, damn, which is

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a trick to any artists, because when you move out

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.679
<v Speaker 2>here in La ex expensive, you gotta sacrifice. Did I

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 2>come out here to get rich doing this on my dream?

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 2>So I literally stopped working during the night shift's bartending,

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.400
<v Speaker 2>which where you make your bread. So I just said,

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 2>give me lunch shifts, which is a way cut difference.

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>But I can do stand up at night. So I

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, they even try to make me a manager.

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 2>True story. They was like, yo, why don't you be

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a kitchen manager? You know, I run the kitchen Dadada,

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>you can make I forget such and such a year

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.360
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh no, I was like twenty five.

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I was like, no, man, I really believe in my

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>stand up. I'm good. And they was like okay. And

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.439
<v Speaker 2>then like I got my first TV appearance in two

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>thousand and seven, Boom started. Now listen it was PDD persisted,

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.680
<v Speaker 2>bad boys in comedy, this would We didn't know none

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 2>of that. We didn't know none of that.

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I just love how you tried to skate.

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.959
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know none of that, trying to get on HBO.

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Yo did that, and then from there got my first

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>writing gage. Short after who I worked for a hell date?

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh excuse me? From there, no, I did the TV

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>show that Boys and Comedy Booming. Then from there I

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.400
<v Speaker 2>did two TV shows. I did a High Ghetto Mess

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 2>with Charlie Murphy. I was like a co host. And

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 2>then I did a show called Social Offensive Behavior with

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Do Hughey as the host, and it was like hitting

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>camera show. So I did that out the gate like boom.

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 2>I still waiting tables, getting recognized, still having serve burgers.

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it was just the journey.

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're still not making enough to like fully support

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you exactly. Are you managing your money.

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Well at this time? Waiting tables? Absolutely, when you do

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 2>those shows, that's when I found out it's not like

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 2>life changing money. Yeah, right, so it's enough money to

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 2>pay some bills. And then my first writing job two

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eight is when I was able to quit Okay,

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I was able to quit working at waiting tables, and

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that's when it was like a blessing.

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Now, were you a little nervous about well, I guess

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>waiting tables work, but were you a little nervous because

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>some of these writing shows, like you don't know if

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:53.120
<v Speaker 1>they're going to continue on?

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:55.679
<v Speaker 2>And now listen, that's my mom at the time. I

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>got my first writing job. Hell date, and I told

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 2>my mom. She's like, but you're not quitting the job.

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>The waiting table job, right, some mom was a writing job.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, yeah, I understand, but how long is

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the job? Right? And I was like, I don't know,

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.199
<v Speaker 2>whole season? How long is a season? Right? Because I

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 2>was making a thousand dollars a week, so for me,

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 2>that's the most money I've ever made. It's like, okay, cool,

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>one thousand of the week in two thousand and eight,

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'll take it. And then she was like

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 2>but then from there it went from that to the

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 2>BT Awards to Tony Watt Project, you know what I mean.

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Then it's like I'm in the swing of things. Comedy

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Central hired me in two thousand and like ten, and

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I did like a pilot in twenty eleven. So now

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like I'm making money in as you're in ye

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:33.159

<v Speaker 1>They're just calling right, word of mouth everything.

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm just getting the egg gross.

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm just curious, are you at this point

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>like an LLC a C Corp? Or are you still

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:44.880

<v Speaker 2>coming back? Right? It doesn't come back Like, oh that

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of hurt because I told everybody back home I'm

<v Speaker 2>about to be famous.

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 1>That was my favorite. Let me just tell you something

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that was when I was a kid. That was the

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 1>each show that you just had to watch continue absolutely,

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>so getting a part to be a part of that

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>reboot had to have been like a amazing So.

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It was like guest starring on the Women to guest star, like, okay, cool,

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to anybody, like just the whole feeling of being

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>on a game show feels it's not a good feeling. Yeah,

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like the projects build, but

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 2>just compete. It's like, you know what I mean for me,

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:20.760
<v Speaker 2>but the money absolutely like you know what I mean.

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Now you can live your dream a little more freely.

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 2>It's like I'm not so much stress cause I got

<v Speaker 2>money in the bank.

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. How much money did you think that that bought

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you at the time?

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 2>A hundred thousand should have lasted me probably a little longer,

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 2>but it last me probably like a year and a half,

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 2>two years.

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's great. Most people would have been what was

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the first thing you bought? I was gonna say most people.

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Buy cover shoes. Come on, I had never had Jordan's

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.719
<v Speaker 2>growing up, right, So I literally that's I bought, Like

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>any Jordan I wanted. I bought like maybe ten pair

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 2>of shoes, and my boys like, what the hell are

<v Speaker 2>her to Vegas. Took myself to Dubai.

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, did you don't bring anybody with you to Dubai. No,

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>you did a solo trip.

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Which was nerve wrecking. But my partner always told me

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and said, whenever you get a check, take your where

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 2>take take you take yourself somewhere where you can put

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 2>your foot in the water and it be reflection all

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the hard work you did. And so my choice was God,

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Yeah.

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Who was the homie that gave you that advice?

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 2>His name was David Arnold.

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, David Arnold. I freaking loved him.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 2>He gave me the advice, and I was like, okay, bad,

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I That's what I do. Wheneverybody do

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 2>with something like I feel like worthy of like, okay,

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>celebrate myself, cause I've been conditioned like just to do

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the work, you know. I man, I've been really broke before, right,

0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's like waiting tables. I'll never forget that stuff

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 2>like that. So it's like I never try to like

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>party or kick it too hard work Like I'm not

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 2>doing work, so I try to wake up early, you

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, make sure I'm getting stuff done,

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, that kind of condition myself.

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>But then yeah, my special basically reflects of the triumphs

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>of going through certain things in your life, you know

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. Where I had my place broken up

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 2>by somebody else, dealing with my family stole like you

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>know about fifty thousand dollars for me, I say, it

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 2>was the kind of my mother.

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you end up repairing that relationship in the end.

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely nothing. That's my friends say you're gonna do another

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 2>special to address that, and I was thinking maybe, but

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 2>that's dead, you know what I mean.

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you you go, let's go back to Dubai.

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>So you're your go to Dubai. Living color doesn't come out,

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>but you're still where does the going on tour with

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Wayne's.

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 2>And all that that happens. Okay, So I went Funniest

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Wins twenty fourteen, going toward Marlin probably around later two

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>thousand and twenty fifteen, right he asked me to go

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 2>on a road with him to I think the first

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>place was Nashville, Tennessee. We went, yeah, in Nashville, Tennessee.

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Because I had been doing stand up longer.

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Than Marland, so like you said, you had.

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, absolutely, I've been doing a cent away longer than Marlin.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 2>So I've been doing stand up probably a decade before

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Marlin start.

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>But was the call did it? Was it like oh

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>my gosh? Or was it because you guys had been

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>working together so long?

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>It was like whatever, No, it's never whenever, when you

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 2>get to work with a superstar, you get to learn.

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Now we develop a close relationship over time, but initially,

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 2>like he would be in clubs doing stand up, so

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 2>he was approachable, so we knew him, so it wasn't

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 2>a starstruck moment. And like I've been knowing the family

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 2>for a minute through Chante and Damon Junr Like and

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Damon Junior kind of start stand up together. Okay, So

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 2>it was definitely like a he was like, you know,

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a cool moment, you want to do a road date,

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>like okay, bet, yeah, very excited. And then you learn

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot, you know what I mean, Like as he's

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 2>learning the craft that stand up and like you know,

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 2>from being an actor, it's like you kind of learn

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 2>how to be a star, you know, and how he

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>deals with different things, his work ethic, like that man

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 2>gets he works out every day before.

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>The show, works out as it hits the gym every day.

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 2>And I never assume that Marlin works out so much

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 2>during the day, eats very well, and his body is

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.040
<v Speaker 2>like a machine. And then you realize, like, damn, I

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>do I could eat a little better as I sit

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 2>here coachest all.

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>The butter that you talk about.

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, yeah, but listen he had my I'm a little.

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Confused because Marlon. Marlon was always on the thinner side. Yeah,

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>but he always worked out a lot.

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this man work out.

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean he looks I'm not even gonna lie like,

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 1>he looks amazing, like you know, but that's that's double

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the little aggroll things.

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's because it's our last meet.

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool, I'm really invested in this meal and the story. Guys,

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.760
<v Speaker 1>this is so when you get the first tour date,

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>are you what are the emotions of that?

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I have it on tour before with him though, Oh

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>with him, it was just that we go to Nashville,

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, then you kind of like go to the show,

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>do my time, you know what I mean? And I

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of help him with his stand up as far

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 2>as like if I have a joke I think can

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 2>benefit him off what he was saying, you know, give

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 2>him that. Well now now because I'm worst baby, Oh yeah,

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 2>give him that. And then it became like consistent and

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>now we developed like you know, a friendship more. And

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 2>then like he was preparing for it first special and

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that was real fun because you like got a tour

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 2>bus and we go across the country like performing.

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh and most comedians they don't really just give jokes,

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, right, Yeah.

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But see it's like when people are like you establish

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.239
<v Speaker 2>a relationship with somebody, It's like, yeah, I can make

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 2>money charging jokes, but this man has brought me on

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a road. It's like a rapport. It's like whoever I

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 2>go on a road with, it's like the opportunity to

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 2>be on the road, thank you. So if I have something,

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 2>it would behoove me to tell you, because it's like

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not even you know, and my blessing ain't attached

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to your success, you know what I mean. So it's like, yes,

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it says, doesn't mean I'm not gonna get blessed. So

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.040
<v Speaker 2>if I have something for you, I'm give it to you.

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Now. I had seen you do the stand up at

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the Black Party and I love him. Yeah, shout outs

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to Chris Spencer and the Elliott Brothers. You have a

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>lot out of jokes, you know, I don't think I

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 1>saw all your jokes that I've seen in person on

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the special. At what point do you how do you

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>figure out which jokes are you going to release? Because

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>we're in a digital age and you know, like some

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a hard call to which jokes you're gonna to

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of give up, you know, and so when you

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>do a special, you kind of technically in my mind,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I would assume you're like retiring the joke, right.

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's what story am I telling? Right? So if

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling my cup is full, all the things in

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 2>my cup that have made me anxious and my points

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>of view, those bits gotta go in there, okay. And

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 2>so there's like, okay relationships. When I talk about the

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>letty who broke up my place, now I can retire

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the dating my dating perspective going into love is blind. Boom.

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like, Okay, suicide, I could talk about that

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 2>because I've dealt with that in my family. Boom, do

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>that then get to my mom. So it's really basically

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I choose by the theme of the show. So like

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm you know, I mean debating if my next specials

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 2>called two Things Can be True, there's a bunch of

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 2>perspectives of how tooth pe can be true. Those will

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 2>go into the bucket of like what would be decided

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 2>to perform, Like random jokes won't make it right. So

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like random jokes that are just kind of funny

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 2>or people might know me from. If it doesn't fit

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the Oprahall theme or what I'm trying to do, then

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 2>those don't make it. Those can live online.

0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>How often are you planning to release specials?

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Now? It feels so good just to release his last one.

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to Now I'm like, oh, I want to

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>release another one in a few months. Okay, So I'm

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.800
<v Speaker 2>thinking two a year right now, maybe two three years?

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, they seeing at least a deep due kind

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 2>of like the blueprint of like putting out a bunch

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 2>of good quality product. Its like influenced me to be like, yo,

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.359
<v Speaker 2>if you keep putting great product out there, people will

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>keep coming back, you know what I mean. So I

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 2>think he set the bar on the hustle on how

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>to put out your own product online.

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Really so, did you have to finance the project?

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 2>No, this woean was finance for me. They actually called

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 2>me they had a spot available, right I didn't. I

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 2>was trying to shoot my special, you know, thinking about

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it putting together. These people call my manager were like, hey,

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 2>we have a slot open. Would he like it? You

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Say, we're paying for the special?

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Like oh absolutely.

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Now it releases on YouTube or on YouTube, but it's

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>under their financing.

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:14.879
<v Speaker 2>So how does this it's under their YouTube so their

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 2>YouTube pages. Yes, a one hundred pound gorilla, they have

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 2>like five hundred and twenty some thousand subscribers on their page.

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:22.799
<v Speaker 2>So release on their page and we're doing well, like

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the mixed with like my push and they put some

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 2>advertising behind it. We dropped it yesterday and it said

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 2>sixty thousand views already, so the goal is to get

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 2>it to a million, so I think we do on

0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 2>track of doing it.

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that's awesome, thank you.

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 2>And look these egg rolls you want to put in

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 2>here just two three minutes aside they use a rack

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:41.400
<v Speaker 2>or you can use them four just to kind of

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 2>let a drain cut this greasauce so we don't burn

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 2>ourselves boom and then you kind of clean as you

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.120
<v Speaker 2>go because all therapy boom boom, kind of as you

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:49.840
<v Speaker 2>will as you go as you go. But let me

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.800
<v Speaker 2>set you at first, this is our we'll use this

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 2>as a plating dish.

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Besides the little bit of a gap in what was

0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 1>like the biggest hurdle that you feel like you had

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.879
<v Speaker 1>to you ended up going through during your whole career.

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 2>With my mother's health, Like you know, she's alive, you

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. I think I think the biggest

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 2>journey currently would be you feel like away being away

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:13.359
<v Speaker 2>from her now for you know what I mean. So

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like she's able to take care of herself, but

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 2>like because I've lost family and like you know, I mean,

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like every moment I'm away, like working or doing

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:22.359
<v Speaker 2>something that has to be valuable time spent, because when

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 2>you're away from her, you be feeling like a bad son.

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, so I think the hardest thing in therapy

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:28.839
<v Speaker 2>is to learn that I'm not a bad son. I'm

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 2>doing what's best for my family. But I think just

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 2>because I've lost family, every moment i'm away from her

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 2>sometimes can feel guilty, you know what i mean? So yeah, wow,

0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:41.800
<v Speaker 2>got deep on you? What so the everyone was ready,

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm super happy. So I'm gonna cut it for you.

<v Speaker 1>cheese in it? I'm just curious, just to cut down,

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:28.280
<v Speaker 1>just cut back. Now, this isn't considered a broke dish.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Is it. I mean, the chicken guys are pretty inexpensive, right,

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and so most people got mustard man mustard and ketchup

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in their house already with hot sauce. Go ahead, do

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you think, Oh my god, yeah right, yeah.

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:53.680

<v Speaker 1>did we did you explain what mixed?

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 2>We do ketchup de Jon muster because it got a

<v Speaker 2>little more bite to it hot sauce and again this

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 2>from YouTube, and I see it like meat. So I

0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>do glic powder, I do onion powder, I do pepper,

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and I do salt.

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 1>And that egg rolled paper, Oh my god.

0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I like the vegan wraps. Why I I was good

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:24.200

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 2>like too much, too much shelved meal.

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So we couldn't find it at first, and we got

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the one that you said. But we were like, man,

0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 1>he obviously he's not vegan. And I said, maybe there's

0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a reason to it. So we went Yeah, they sell

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it at Target. I don't know if they sell it

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:45.840

<v Speaker 2>You could cut me out of the episode, like, look,

0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 2>I made chicken ear rows, you know what I mean.

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, do you ever notice this? I don't know. For me,

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the closer my circle is, the less

0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 1>they've watched my stuff.

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Because they're so used to you.

0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Probably my will be like, I don't know, I've never

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.160
<v Speaker 1>really watched it. You know, I'm like, oh okay, it's

0:39:33.200 --> 0:39:34.240
<v Speaker 1>like four years later.

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get the side too. You can't waste it.

0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 1>What advice?

0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 2>You can get a hole if you want, I will.

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:39:50.960 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 1>The hardest part about the show is if someone cuts

0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:55.479
<v Speaker 1>something really good and I know you're on a time crunch,

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>but I'll usually be like, call up for like two

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:01.000
<v Speaker 1>seconds so we can enjoy this. Damn I got distracted.

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 2>M that was good.

0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>This is delicious advice. Yeah, any advice for Thank you

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 1>for catching me on that. M for comics, yeah, for

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:17.240
<v Speaker 1>comics and then secondly for people dealing with stress.

0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 2>MM. I say for comics, two things. Mm your first

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 2>couple of years and stand up, stop worrying about being good.

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Really it's like, really, just learn how to be comfortable.

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like when you get into a boxing ring, you

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:39.480
<v Speaker 2>have to learn boxing. You have to learn how to

0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 2>be a doctor. Yeah, even if you've been doing it

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a year, you have to learn certain techniques to get

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:45.799
<v Speaker 2>you to be at a level where people trust you.

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:47.880
<v Speaker 2>So when your first couple years of comedy, just do

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 2>so many reps to learn and don't worry about like

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 2>even posting videos right now. Your p stand up for

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:56.960
<v Speaker 2>six months is not gonna hit like you're stand up

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.759
<v Speaker 2>when you're doing it for four to five years. Yeah.

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 2>So when we're being a rushed or like showcase yourself

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 2>being a rush to build yourself and then really work

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:06.879
<v Speaker 2>on your audience. When you want to promote a video

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:08.399
<v Speaker 2>real quick, you be doing set up six months, don't

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 2>put up the stand up video, put up. You just

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:13.760
<v Speaker 2>work on gaining your audience. And when your voice becomes

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:16.400
<v Speaker 2>more mature and stand up, that's when you attack them.

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.440
<v Speaker 2>The first time. They first impression of you should be like,

0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 2>oh my goodness.

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, wait, how do you go back to how do

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 1>you work on gaining your audience?

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 2>That's like whatever it is that you do, what you're doing,

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 2>you cook, right, so then you have a show about cooking.

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.480
<v Speaker 2>So online, find out what you know, what your niche is,

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:36.040
<v Speaker 2>if it's like doing reaction videos, if it skits, if

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like posting stand up videos, just be cons consistent

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 2>on all platforms and then listen. They got streaming university.

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm forty three. I'll be learning from these dudes. Stay

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:48.200
<v Speaker 2>consistent and go live on TikTok every day. What's a

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 2>trending song I can attach to my comedy like learn

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 2>like learn the brand of online. Focus on that, right,

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 2>it's a new era. Focus on that and build your

0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.400
<v Speaker 2>stand up and then present it when the food ready.

0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 2>We can't eat raw chicken, you'll stand up raw in

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the first year. You ain't cooked it yet, you know

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:05.359
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. So just focus on that and then

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.319
<v Speaker 2>when it's ready, present that to the world. But like,

0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 2>focus on the hours it takes to be great, which

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 2>is like putting in the time of doing stand up anywhere.

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Coffee shops. It don't matter.

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>But now how do they stay keep that consistency focusing

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:21.120
<v Speaker 1>on the reps if they get say booed, because they're

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 1>not focusing on the laughter.

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Or what every fact.

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, here's napkins.

0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Every time you gonna say, you learn something. So if

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:37.640
<v Speaker 2>you got boo that's fine. I got boog before. I

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:40.319
<v Speaker 2>still put our special came out to this girl. From

0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the consistency and learning off that bed preparation, you learn stuff.

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Curry might go three from fifteen from the floor. He's

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 2>still the greatest shooter of all times. He's gonna keep

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 2>putting up shots. So there's the consistency and the work ethic.

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 2>And you might be bad, and you can go to

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:57.800

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 2>stage and they gave me a guest set knew my

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:19.800
<v Speaker 2>brother you know me and him. Then it became like

0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Chris Spencer, then Tony Rock took me on the road

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:26.600
<v Speaker 2>originally Marlin. Right now Ian Edwards big influence, he's a writer,

0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:28.440
<v Speaker 2>big influence in my stand up when I was, you know,

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 2>around him. So right now I have like a circle

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 2>of people I trust Tyler James Roywood Jr. Ali if

0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I have something, or my boy Chris Tremo. It's a

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 2>circle of people I trust with my excuse me, my thoughts.

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:44.359
<v Speaker 2>I might not necessarily want a joke from you, but

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:47.279
<v Speaker 2>how can you expand my thought on this premise? And

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.359
<v Speaker 2>then attack is extra? But like, how can you open

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:51.200
<v Speaker 2>my eyes? So I got like maybe four or five people.

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like they or was it a case

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:56.880
<v Speaker 1>where they were attracted to you because they saw your

0:43:57.280 --> 0:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>because you're very infectious, like you're very like, oh my

0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 1>god us like I love him like you know? Was

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it was it one of those cases where you approach them.

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine it was them approaching you like I

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>see this diamond with friends, okay, friendship.

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's like the people I'm close with, my circle

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 2>works extremely hard to right. So we're trying to help

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 2>each other. So if Tyler I said something on stage

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 2>when he come off, if my brain's like, oh boom,

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 2>come here now, I might not take the time with

0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody I don't know as much. And then if they

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 2>asked me and I've seen it cool. But with my

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 2>my friends about love, like Tyler, check on my mama,

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I send her stuff and I'm not even knowing. It's

0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 2>like flowers, like whatever Tyler needs.

0:44:39.000 --> 0:44:40.600
<v Speaker 1>That Taylor, we love you.

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's like whatever you need. It's like in

0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:45.640
<v Speaker 2>that moment, I you know, I'm submissive with my talent

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to you. You know what I mean, because it's like

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:48.439
<v Speaker 2>I love you my friends.

0:44:48.480 --> 0:44:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So and that's very hard to get in la. Do

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:54.399
<v Speaker 1>you feel like comedy is more of a loving From

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 1>what I've seen in comedy up, I have friends in

0:44:56.960 --> 0:45:00.960
<v Speaker 1>it or family in it, it feels like it's it's weird.

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:03.839
<v Speaker 1>From the outside, it feels like it's very supportive. Even

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 1>going to your special and seeing all the comics that

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:09.560
<v Speaker 1>came out, it's like it's it's weird. You hear about

0:45:09.600 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of hater aid, but for the most part,

0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 1>there's like this family system.

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like any other job, like professional sports, you

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:20.080
<v Speaker 2>got teamate probably don't fuck with each other as much,

0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:22.439
<v Speaker 2>or you don't like each other as much your regular job.

0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:25.160
<v Speaker 2>God be discerned. Not everybody don't like each other, but

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:27.320
<v Speaker 2>you do have people that we're like a support system.

0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 2>The majority of people want to see you win. There's

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 2>got some people that maybe don't right what you want

0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to write several people or listen to that noise us

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:36.520
<v Speaker 2>to write several people that love you. You know they

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:38.920

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it started with a podcast. Okay, So I have

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a podcast called My Cup is Fool where I talk

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 2>about the situations I talked about my special, talk about

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the real stories of them actually happening, and like how

0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I felt about them. So it's more of a podcast.

0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 2>If a man who has anxiety and thinks he's going

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:39.440
<v Speaker 2>on in his life through a podcast form and I

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 2>have guests, but take out the special. And if you

0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:44.799
<v Speaker 2>have anxiety, like you ain't weird, especially as a black dude,

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:47.360
<v Speaker 2>you feel like insecure because when that attack happens, you

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:50.680
<v Speaker 2>feel defenseless. Tell somebody you know, check yourself into therapy

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:51.520
<v Speaker 2>because it does help.

0:47:52.120 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's like talk therapy helps you.

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah in person.

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, some medication, but you don't do the medication anymore.

0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Nah, Nah, I don't really like the medication for me,

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I like talk

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:06.200
<v Speaker 2>therapy and I do take some medicine if I'm having

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:08.440
<v Speaker 2>an attack. I don't take a daily like lexipro like

0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 2>they be able to want me to. I don't take

0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that as much anymore. But if you are having a

0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 2>panic attack, I will say this works. All the remedies

0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to me, don't be working. If you feel overwhelmed and

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.879
<v Speaker 2>you're doing that and you're feeling this overwhelming feeling, get

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:23.359
<v Speaker 2>a piece of ice. I know it sounds silly, get

0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:25.800
<v Speaker 2>a piece of ice rubbing in your hand, okay, because

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:28.080
<v Speaker 2>the coldness of the ice will shock your brain and

0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:30.319
<v Speaker 2>you instantly be just thinking about how cold it is

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and you will settle what Trust me, I know. It's

0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:36.319
<v Speaker 2>like the TikTok acts. I was like, man, whatever I

0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 2>was having one, I said, I did like this. You

0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:41.600
<v Speaker 2>learned it from TikTok Dog that's TikTok University.

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Now have you had people approach you like where they

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:47.799
<v Speaker 1>were like, man, I haven't told anybody about my anxiety

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and or like what I've been feeling, like this allows

0:48:50.239 --> 0:48:51.640
<v Speaker 1>me to be comfortable.

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Or yeah, the podcast helps with that a lot. Like

0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.239
<v Speaker 2>healthy the special will too. After my shows, a lot

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 2>of black men come up to me like, yo, I

0:48:57.280 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 2>got an episode called DDG did that a game? Right?

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I talk about losing your father? And then a lot

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:02.840
<v Speaker 2>of men came with to me have the show like

0:49:02.880 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 2>dark that episode, and a lot to me like I'll

0:49:05.160 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 2>be going through the same feelings. So it's like that

0:49:07.480 --> 0:49:09.560
<v Speaker 2>form of like expressing what I go through has definitely

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 2>allowed me to meet people like me, you know what

0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean. It looked like me, you know what I mean.

0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's like I'm happy for that. I didn't start

0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:18.200
<v Speaker 2>it for that, but like if I could like tell

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 2>my story and somebody like be influenced or feel comfortable

0:49:20.600 --> 0:49:21.839
<v Speaker 2>enough to come up to me and be like yo,

0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll be feeling insecure I be feeling like this, then

0:49:25.000 --> 0:49:26.640
<v Speaker 2>it's working what I'm doing, you know what I mean.

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I feel like when you're as vulnerable as you've been,

0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:31.040
<v Speaker 1>as easy for people. I hate to say this word

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.480
<v Speaker 1>cause I sound like really lame, but like you know,

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it's easy for people to love you versus like just

0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>like you. They're like, oh my god, I feel a

0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:41.479
<v Speaker 1>connection because of that level of vulnerability. The one question

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ask, and I know you have got like

0:49:43.640 --> 0:49:47.120
<v Speaker 1>one minute left. Is how much of a pivotal role

0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:49.240
<v Speaker 1>did your father play and who you are today?

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:53.000
<v Speaker 2>M big And my father was older so when like

0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 2>we was outside doing things together a lot, he was older.

0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:58.520
<v Speaker 2>So he helped me with like a perspective, you know

0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:00.520
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. His whole thing was like even with

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 2>me pursuing his dream like and not going to college

0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 2>like that, his whole thing was like, have a plan

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:07.520
<v Speaker 2>and make sure God is a part of your plan. Right.

0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:10.799
<v Speaker 2>That was my one my first tattoos, and it was like, okay, cool.

0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:12.959
<v Speaker 2>So as long as I was had a plan of action,

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 2>he didn't care. He knew right now, he said, And

0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:18.239
<v Speaker 2>he's just say, your situation doesn't define you how you

0:50:18.239 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 2>come out, your situation does, right.

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:22.319
<v Speaker 2>And so like this is back in the time when

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I first started TV. The Bad Boy's the thing I

0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 2>told you about my favorite memories of my pop. It

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was like it was on DVD and he was in

0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:30.959
<v Speaker 2>his office and then like randomly I walked into office

0:50:31.000 --> 0:50:32.520
<v Speaker 2>and he was like this maybe a year after it

0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:34.400
<v Speaker 2>came out and he was watching it. I said, what

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:36.759
<v Speaker 2>you're doing? He was like, I'm watching my son and

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:39.640
<v Speaker 2>he was so proud. So that's probably the moment I'm like, man,

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:41.560
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. He was heavily influenced on

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:44.440
<v Speaker 2>just like my mindset. It was like how to approach things,

0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, how to deal with people,

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:49.720
<v Speaker 2>even women like. He was very influential on like respect

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and things like that.

0:50:50.480 --> 0:50:54.440
