It's unfair. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.120 First off, I was supposed to be doing this podcast 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.959 on an earliest slot I got bumped. They said, we've 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.640 taken them whenever we can take them. I come, I'm 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:26.320 on time. You not even here.

You're getting ready for a long time. 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.160 At first I thought he was doing you know, But 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.040 I was like, no, bathroom, still fresh here and they're 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.160 fixing this column. And I realized that I got invited 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:49.440 to a show filled with metro sexuals. I saw you 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.360 make your transitions, say, it's a lot of things people 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.480 don't know about you, right, right, and you would never 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.200 share this, and I knew that it would be a 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.880 platform whacker. People did not know that you regularly get 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:08.240 manni's and petties regularly. That's a good thing, right, I 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.400 don't know. The image that he gave me was like, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.320 the only time we do petticuts if our shoes are 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.000 our feet exposed, just dragging your nails on the concrete. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.360 That's that's what I thought. Real man get pedicures. But 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:25.040 he must be no here. No, he doesn't feel uncomfortable 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.240 with the cotton balls in between his toes. It's a 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.680 level of discomfort. He feels comfortable with the cotton balls. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:35.160 He could grades the cue combers ship all that type 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.160 of stuff, and que combers on my ass. Come on, man, 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.480 the time we were in Vegas, the combers that should 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.080 have closed my throat up. You allergic to street ship too, 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:52.520 So tell you this show in Vegas. I met this 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.480 motherfucker right, and I'm telling all my friends, I'm like, nig, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:56.760 you don't even know what I'm about to hang out. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.840 We're about to do some ship. We're gonna knock a 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.600 nig out with something. We're gonna do ghetto boys, right. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.560 I ain't got no gun, but I got a little 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.600 ass like one of them, like Swiss army knives. Just 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.000 case and go down right, and I'm like, we're gonna smoke, 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.840 We're gonna drink. I get in the car. I like 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.120 to joint. This mother almost jumped out to god the 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.679 car the proflem and federal problemas know. But his look 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.920 on his face is like the funk are you doing? 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.519 He said, dropped him off? I dropped him off and 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.480 getting petty in the manny and he'd been metro sexual, 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.839 metro sexual every ever since then. Now do you get 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.560 manny petties? Not not? I mean not not as often 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:35.360 as he does. Like he got it's a rotation Monday, Monday, Wednesday. Say, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.840 my ship is when somebody say something. I know it's 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.960 a proper to it's important to grouself. But he said 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:47.240 somebody else. But I think man manicures. Menicures look good 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.960 in everything and show there's pedicures. But pedicures and more 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.200 necessary in my opinion, because you know you have you 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.080 get lent and stuff like that, you know, trapped between 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.840 your toes and all that kind of stuff. So well 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.320 you and all that kind of you you you lotion 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:06.440 your entire body. No, I don't know. I just take 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.200 care of myself. I get that because I know that, 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:14.800 you know, as as Larry, Larry is a good character. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.880 But in real life, women don't like ash Man. Women 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.480 like women like something. Women like to feel a strong, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.720 you know, clean you know man. Also women like that. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.360 They liked that, But who they like, No, I don't 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.360 think so. I think the one that just came old 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.760 Tim nique as and Ship, I understand what you're saying. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.520 I think I think when women women women do women 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.760 do like roughnecks. You know, I'm a roughneck myself. You 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.239 know what I'm saying, I know how to switch gears, 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.920 but women also like a refined man. You know what 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.880 I'm saying. Women like men that can switch gears and 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.480 be able to move in different rooms. I've seen his transition, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.440 even even his laugh change. Really you think it's you know, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.240 he used to laugh, you know how to think. He 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:09.880 laughed and just point at you where he laughed. Stop 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.880 stop stop. He took pictures and he ain't laughing with you. Yeah. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.720 And he when he when he took pictures down, he 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.360 bent his leg. You know how you've been your leg 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.840 on the wall, he'd been his leg. You have changed, man. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.200 But I think that's a good look. He crosses his leg. Yeah, 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.960 he crossed his leg like this. I don't know what 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.280 you can see it. He crossed his leg and then 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.320 he made his toe twiddle. When you do your toll 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.160 like that, that's the next let. I think he got 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.640 that from the rock I see Barrocky doing that. Yeah, 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.159 that's got from I love Barack Obama.

We had. Yeah, we agree, we 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.440 had a roast off in the dressing room. No, we 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.120 didn't have a roast off. You try to take advantage 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.440 of me because everybody was excited to meet you, so 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.320 you use that popularity and use your legend to go 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.160 against me. And you had a small audience of four 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.560 people in the green room and he was happy. And Ship, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.920 I heard you saying, I told you I could do that, Ship, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.760 but I ain't really on that lane right until I 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.559 told you. I said, I'll let you have your audience 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.520 in the green room. When I go on stage, I'm 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.640 gonna tell your ass out. That's what I said, to 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.560 which you came back in the green room three minutes 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.360 before I perform and say, you know, I didn't really 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.720 mean nothing about it.

They want 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.800 to stay in their lane and they want to entertain Thanksgiving, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.240 like Brad, you know what I'm saying, like family members 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.000 like he he thought he was doing something because his 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.959 son was laughing at his jokes. I was like that, nigga, 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.120 love you if you can't get your sound and left. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.400 He just gave you a kidney, nigg what do you 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.840 think you're gonna do? Right? And what would I said? 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.599 So I would a heckler somebody that doesn't have the 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.439 balls to do it, and using the club on it 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.760 was like, well, why don't you go up? The usually 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.599 shut you up. So they invited me to go on 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.599 stage and I didn't get scared the first time. I 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.360 was like, funk that I ain't gonna do it, And 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.760 two weeks later went on stage. First time I advertised 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.599 a microphone. I gotta stand in ovation and it was 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.679 the first time in my life where I said this 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.000 is what I'm gonna be doing for the rest of 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.360 my life. I was like, the whole police ship is over. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.839 Instantly fell in, fell in love with it and never 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.920 looked back. In twenty seven years, I've still been powering 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.920 everything in my life from telling jokes. Let's go back 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.640 to the grocery store. Can you mentioned you mentioned niggas 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:26.200 would be stealing stuff? Clarifile, Who are niggers? Um? Nigga's 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.959 And I don't mean this in a derogatory where I'm 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.319 using the same way. You know, you probably in a 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.880 song or whatever and it was nigga's that, niggers that 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.360 still But when you say niggas, you are you talking 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.560 about talking about black people. You're talking about white people, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.760 making anybody anybody yea, and see these things. I don't 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.800 associate the word digging with any race. There you go context. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.480 It's like, right, I got you because the reason why 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.800 I asked that because I remember when I was, when 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.520 I was in the big house. Uh. That was this guy, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.120 this white guy who you know, I was cool with him. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.840 You know, We're sitting there watching television at the table, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.320 and and I said, yeah, at the TV table, right, 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.840 And I said, uh, I said something to the fact 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:20.079 that that nigga, right, and he he started like intensely 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:25.160 looking at the television like for like I don't see 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.120 any black people up there. And I said, I say, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.560 I'm talking about the white dude. I said, yeah, NICKA 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.120 could be anybody, man, I said, Nick's attitude. You know, 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.520 it's it's not a person, it's not it's not inity. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.679 And and that's so true because January six last year, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.800 right when I turned the mother TV on, you know, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.199 and watching whatever was going on on the Capitol, I 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:57.280 was I felt so I grabbed popcorn. I was like, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.880 this is what I'm talking about. I want y'all this 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.120 see them the way y'all think y'all see us. But 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.480 you know, any any word, it's context. People get cot. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.640 And we were talking to earlier about the word bitch. Yeah, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.000 you know what I'm saying. It's highly offensive if you 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.800 don't use it and write context. You tell a woman 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.720 like I see you're a boss bitch. Oh okay, you 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.640 see me working, You're a bad bitch. Oh sh she 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.960 doing it. But if you see, if you do it 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:33.400 bit like a Bruno Mars and Bruno, Yeah with you. 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.560 You're playing that song what's the name of that song 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.360 that you're playing on your right now smoking out the window. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.800 And he actually, I thought somebody has swept the two 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.520 with the word bitch. He actually used the word bitch 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.040 in the song. Yes, and there's no et cry. It's 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.400 not because they know the frustration of that woman that 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.120 they're talking about. He ain't saying do you mean the 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.720 frustration of the man the man, Yeah, he's not said, bitch, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.520 you take a good care of my son. You know, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:04.920 it's like that's us ration, yo, the frustration of a 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:09.600 man that's pretty much doing everything for a woman, you 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.280 know what I'm saying, making sure she's okay whatever, and 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.760 then she's still belonged to the street. I don't never 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.400 anybody watching this, you're gonna be like, bitch, you know. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.520 It's it's it's the contest. It's the contest, especially when 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.560 the kids are running your crowd your house, like like jeez, 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.360 and then that's a great style. But you know what, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.480 at the end of it, I respected that because you know, 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.400 when you're going through a breakup, you know, dishonest, you 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.080 always say, yeah, I want you to be I'm I'm 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.840 rooting for your happiness, I'm rooting for your success. I 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.400 want you to be happy. You say that out but 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.440 on the inside, you're like, boy, hold this bitch fall off, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.760 please fall off. When you said that line in the end, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.680 like uh, I wish you the best, but I hope 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.880 you're walking around barefoot it or something, And I was like, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.040 pull that's button up on that song. Yeah, have you 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.200 ever been in a relationship like that? Yeah? I think 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.840 everybody has what we thought we was. Here's the thing. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.680 If they for the street, there for the street. But 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.240 you go through a phase of your life where you 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.200 want to be kept to save the whole, you know 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.120 what I'm saying. You think you're a certain point and 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.760 you're like like this. You can look at somebody or 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:22.720 see somebody you like, you know what, that person might 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.840 be a little of trouble and it's only because they 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.720 don't have the right person in their life, you know 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.720 what I'm saying. You think that's why I don't go 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.880 to like going to strip clubs and ship because I'm 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.440 the dude to being belovele, Like, Yo, what do you 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:33.960 really want to do with your life? They don't want 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.120 to hear that, you know what I'm saying. You feel 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.000 like you want to save a motherfucker. I had this 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.200 organization years ago. It was called uh save a bit 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.880 dot com right, and the idea of it was, I said, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.480 a lot of women, certain age, right, they in the 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.440 middle of dealing with temptation or salvation. Right, it's a 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.680 it's a scale. It could go temptation and salvation depending 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.240 on who come in their life. And that's how the 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.120 scale is gonna tell. If it's a person is coming 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.040 there for a damn sure is the persons gonna help 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.399 him out that. But it might be that pimp, motherfucker. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.160 It might be the person they want to use them, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.440 you know. And I said, I want to I want 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:21.320 to like educate women. The organization lasted two months and 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.439 the reason why I tried to say to me business 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.400 at one time, Right, you gotta do it. Huh. Maybe 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.919 it's the name, you know what. I had that argument, right, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.000 But here's the thing. And I talked to my mother 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.119 about it because she got some foksel. What is your 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.159 son talking about? She said, what we gotta do is 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.840 we gotta give the acronym a different definition, right, And 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.000 I said what mar She said, bitch being in total 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:50.200 control of herself. And the reason why the peoples like this, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.840 it's a very provocative word. The men you here, you're like, oh, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.040 what is this all? About I could have had an 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.680 organization called save a Queen dot com you know what 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.439 I mean, Beautiful Beautiful women dot com, or it wouldn't 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.720 have been as engaging as bitch. This is the is 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.560 the is the clickbait. Then get you to call in 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.320 and did you see what I was trying to do? 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.240 And it makes sense? At least I thought it makes sense, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.040 But the company's now defunk and then no longer exist? 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.200 Know what does what does? What does it mean? Game? 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:26.359 Bitch my mom's definition of herself. She was like, just 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.560 reinvent the word to put a different definition. I put 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.400 the word delf. You know what delf is, right, Delf 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.520 is what I'm going through my life. Daddy dad, I 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.240 like the you know, milf, but basically saying the older 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.680 guy in staid the same moms. I like the if 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.000 my mom, I like the yeah, daddy's dude. But I 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:55.320 switched to the acronyms. I said, deaf dad, uh devoted involved, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:00.119 loving father. That's how I switched the delf. And I'm 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:12.080 pushing up. I'm looking involved loving father, trying to switch 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:13.920 it up. Because we get the rap, we get a 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:19.000 bad rap. Black men especially get the bad rap when 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.600 it comes to fatherhood for everything, but the one thing 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.800 that they want to promote is like dad because this 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.880 is my fucking ship. But I realized, I'm like, I'm 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.240 saying myself, like what type of people you're around? Because 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.320 everybody that I'm that's that's close to me, they dope 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.160 as fathers. I'm like, where are y'all find Where y'all 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.159 find it? Y'all put the energy, that's just a life period. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.520 We always put more energy on a negative than positive. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.520 They get the most attention when it comes to cancel culture. 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.080 I give an example. I know we will probably get 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.119 to a ser later, but I'll say, like, even though 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.359 man Dave with the last special, you're the closer. Right 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.680 if you take a hundred people and you say, what 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:04.840 do you think about that special? Probably of it if 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.280 five percent would say get it out of here? And 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.680 how does the five percent rule? They get the most attention, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.560 They get the most attention, They scream, the louders they get, 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.160 they get the most attention up And I even said 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.840 it on my podcast the other day. I said, you know, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:24.960 I said, I'm not going to focus on those five 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:26.840 I want to focus on the people that want to 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.159 see me want to funk with me, you know. But 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.359 it's it takes people like Dave Chappelle, you know that 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.880 could come up and say, you know what, I'm taking 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.040 control of my career. I'm empowering myself. How whether y'all 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.040 like it or not, this is my voice. This is 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.000 the art that I do, and I can't let you 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.600 water it down and let you control what I say. 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.639 Stand up comedy is about finding somebody's personality that you like. 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.959 You engage with them, and you want to hear they 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.000 take on the world. You know what I'm saying and 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.280 the way they want to do that. You can't say this, 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.560 you're gonna say that. So they want every comic to 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.720 sound the same. And that's when the content of comedy 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.800 is going to be dead exactly. Man, tell tell us 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.440 about that a festival that you're doing at the Improv 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.600 in Hollywood. Well, Netflix, Netflix is the first time. Netflix 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:16.000 is a joke. Years ago, Netflix a comedy festival. Netflix 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.280 is a joke. Yeah, I mean Netflix is talking about 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:24.320 talking about talking about killers. It's everybody run down. What 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.960 it is is like comedy festivals really became popular, Like 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.680 five years ago you had the Edinburgh Comedy festival, which 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.000 which huge. It was a platform that you could break talent. 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.960 And the one that was really popular in the United 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:44.240 States was uh Montreal County Festival. That's where Dave Chappelle 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.520 got his big break. So Netflix, no, and it makes sense, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.720 they're the hugest platforms when it comes to stand up 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.280 comedy right now. So they said, why don't we just, 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.680
