That you can make a joke 193 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: like that because it ain't like exactly dramatic. 194 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: It's like in the show it was it was funny, 195 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: but I. 196 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: See Tommy Davison is talking about the spinoff that they 197 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: already fel too for now that character. 198 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very happy for Tommy.

I started in two thousand and ten. 205 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 4: Comedy is definitely scary. 206 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: So let me break this down. So when I was younger, 207 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 3: I couldn't get arrested doing comedy at all. Nobody would, 208 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: you know, hire me, and I started hanging out in 209 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: the laugh Factory, comedy store, Comedy act theater, all of 210 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: the comedy with the comedians. I would sit with him 211 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: because I had to figure out what was comedy because 212 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: I wasn't getting any jobs, and so I realized that 213 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: all the people who were getting the deals back then 214 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: in the nineties were people who were telling their real 215 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: life stories. Okay, and in any other situation, those real 216 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 3: life stories could sound really sad. You know what I'm saying, 217 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: so there, So the ones who were having people laugh 218 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: at their own pain were the ones that were the 219 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: most brilliant. And so I'm sitting back there and I'm going, oh, okay, 220 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: there's a thin line between drama and comedy. But then 221 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: I'm sitting back there, and in the nineties, I don't 222 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 3: know how it is now, but in the nineties they 223 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 3: were brutal to one another. 224 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 5: It's it's similar, but it's not. I can't speak. 225 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 4: It wasn't the ninety because I was born inties. I 226 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 4: was born in nineteen ninety. 227 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: At whatever, right, So I would sit back there and 228 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 3: how they would treat each other like so for for 229 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: for more context, I came up with to Shina Arnold, 230 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And me and Toashina were 231 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: so close, like we were in competition, but we never competed, right, yeah, 232 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: really collaborated.

Or 531 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 3: whether for stand up, you know, this sometimes can cost 532 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 3: me to go out, but what I get out of 533 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: stand up is being able to be in front of 534 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: people without a screen between us. They're not really nothing 535 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: like it. It's a genre that's completely different. And just 536 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: because I could be funny when somebody writes something in 537 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: the script doesn't necessarily mean I'm funny on camps on 538 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 3: the stage, you know what I mean. 539 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: So being in front of a live audience previously also 540 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 2: probably helped to be more comfortable, you think with that, 541 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: also knowing that the feeling that that's. 542 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: Being a singer. Yeah, so it's the same feeling. But 543 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. I'm always nervous, doesn't matter even doing interviews, I'm. 544 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: Being nervous is good though. I feel like Chris Rock 545 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: said that. 546 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 4: Right most, I'm still nervous with something like people just 547 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 4: that's just until they call your name, and then you're 548 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 4: just like all right. 549 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 3: Till I walked through the door, I was wreck. Really now, 550 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 3: I'm always always a wreck, and I hide it by 551 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: being allowed to making jokes. 552 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: I like that, I do. I like that. I think 553 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: that's beautiful. You never want to lose that feeling. 554 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, because that's what makes it still fun. 555 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: And it is you care. It's because you care. 556 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: Yep. 557 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: All right, well be happy and I feel like you're happy. 558 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: I am. 559 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: And my guy Makai him and it. 560 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: Was great to work with, great so professional.
