61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: this you you know, you can't run behind the curtain.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,640

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: you're sharing information, you know what I'm saying. You know,

64
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: when the when we all have had that show as well,

65
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, we have mu multiple shows they make

66
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you know it develop sure, Well, I don't know if

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: it's senacaty because you know, I've been on stage and

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: and and and the amount of payment that I was

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: getting was really not matching the suffering I was dealing

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: with on the stage as to why these jokes are

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: to I agree, not commence it at all, and and

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: and the worst thing, And I don't know if you've

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: done those multiple show nights, you know, like I've done,

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: like the multiple nights with your seven o'clock show or

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: nine thirty show and then the midnight show. And here's

76
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: the problem. You have showed like that people somewhere along

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the line, you just you're just doing comedy, and you

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: will start questioning did you do that joke in the

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: set that you Absolutely every comedian I've had that conversation

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: with so many of my beers where by the midnight

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: show you'll start, you'll start a joke and in your

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: head saying, oh, no, I already told this joke to

83
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: this crowd, and you stop, and they're staring at you,

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and you're staring at them, and you're trying to run

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: through your head like did I do this already? And

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: then by there you are you completely be railed. Or

87
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the other thing where you have a call back at

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the end of the set and you realize right when

89
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: you're about to do the callback joke that you never

90
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: did this set up earlier. I forgot about. Yeah, I'll

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: tell you something. Those are as a stand up. Now,

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: now let's let's there's the bad part about when you

93
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: lose confidence in your material from the standpoint did you

94
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: say the joke already? Because if you're a headliner and

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: the headline is like four or five minutes to an hour,

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: if you're like five to ten minutes into your set

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: and you start questioning your jokes, so the whole set,

98
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: you're tipping through the whole set with no layer of confidence.

99
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: And so if you're not giving one you noticed for

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: a fact, then the crowd's not going to give it

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: back to you. And then it just be because there's

102
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: like this inestible right because this other layers of the

103
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: material that's not just your performance, not just the material.

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: Like you said, that confidence that energy that you connect

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: with an audience. And if you don't connect with them

106
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: early on and they you lose confidence yourself, they lose

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: confidence in you, and then that set is just wash.

108
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: She might as well go home. Yeah, I am, I

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: know exactly, And then she said the incomparable callback line.

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: A callback, it's something you set up a joke. You know.

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: David Arnold, he's on a Netflix. He has a great

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: special on Netflix right now. He does a lot of

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: call back in his comedy set. And I complimented them.

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: I call that old school comedy right when you when

115
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: when you set up you know what I'm saying. You

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: set up your joe, then you put a little line

117
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: in there, and then by fifteen man as you call

118
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: it back, what gets quit? If you don't set up

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that joke that just you're gonna get that call back on,

120
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: then you look really stupid at that moment because you

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: ain't for people to laugh, because you know, because if

122
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: the callback is a given that you wouldn't use it

123
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: if it wasn't funny, but it's no good if you

124
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: haven't set up the joke. And so as a stand

125
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: up and being a female stand up comedian, you know,

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: the challenges always whenever I get a female stand up

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: on my show, because I know it's a male stand

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: up and that there's a black mail stand up, there's

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: there's there has been a journey for me dealing with

130
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: you know, restrictions on stage. And that's a female comedian.

131
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: You don't have to deal with sexism. You know you're attractive,

132
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: so you have to deal with that, Ayesha. So just

133
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: talking about the journey of you know, of being a

134
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: stand up, breaking into the game and then started being

135
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: respected by the play by your peers. Sure well, I

136
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: mean I think and I'm sure that you know this.

137
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you're a young comedian, you

138
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: know you're kind of your ambition and your desire is

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: typically way ahead of your ability. And that's that's you know,

140
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: comedian to like athletes, you know, how how naturally sounded

141
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: you are, you have to train and it just takes time.

142
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: And you know, I think for me, I always loved

143
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: then I did it to the very first set that

144
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I did it, But It just takes a long time

145
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: to get to a place where you're performing at the

146
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: level that you want to, the level that you envisioned

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: for yourself, and you have a lot of shows that

148
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: really don't go very well. I always laugh when people say,

149
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: have you ever had a bad set? I'm like, I've

150
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: had a thousand bad sets? No working No, no successful

151
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: working comedian hasn't had thousands of bad sets. Like, that's

152
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: what makes you, That's what makes you strong. That's what

153
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: makes you a good comic is knowing how to tolerate

154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: a quiet crowd, knowing how to turn them around, have

155
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the confidence in yourself even when you know the night's

156
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: gone poorly. And and I just think that, you know what,

157
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: the only secret to success for me, you know, other

158
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: than being relentless, was, you know, kind relentlessly pursuing excellence

159
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: in myself, constantly working to be funnier. It was just

160
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: not clinic, you know what I mean. Like, it's just

161
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: it's that old Malcolm Gladwell ten thousand hours rule. You

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: have to be up on stage for those ten thousand

163
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: hours for it to really start to feel like second nature.

164
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: But you know, like you said, it doesn't pay you

165
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: know there years where you're not making any money and

166
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you're up there suffering and you know you're just like,

167
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: this is not enough money for me to go studios again,

168
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: forget it. But but you know I loved it and

169
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: I and I stuck with it in I had every

170
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of adversity that you've heard of, you know, comedy

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: club owners telling me I wasn't gonna make it. You know,

172
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: girls aren't funny, all that stuff, and it's you know

173
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: it exists and uh, and you know you just let it.

174
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: You let it slide off your back if you can,

175
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: you're able to. But you know they're really were people.

176
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: You could relate to this because you've been successful in

177
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: so many different layers as because you're a successful comedian. Okay,

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: there are people out there who say there commit to media,

179
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: but you know, we had that conversation like that and so,

180
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: but it allows you to have a Uh, public speaking

181
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: is no big deal. Your improm skills on because you

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: can be in the middle of a set and somebody started,

183
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: somebody start interrupting yourself. You better be ready to deal

184
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: with that person or they will destroy you. And so

185
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: and so. Then you've taken these talents and then you know,

186
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: and used it to host a very popular in up show.

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: You've taken these talents to be able to be a

188
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: co host a very talented UH talk show. So how

189
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: how has been a stand up? I'm gonna ride that

190
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: stand up through everything, even as a getting into the

191
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: mixing of the drinks, because because I know the power

192
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: of being a stand up, because of the fact that

193
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: how has helped me, whether I've been in because you

194
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: know I used to be and you don't know me,

195
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: but my degree was in mathematics. I worked for IBM,

196
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: and I used to get meetings and because I had

197
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: a stand up background, I could just tell how people

198
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: looked at me and go, he looks so comfortable, it

199
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: looks so comfortable, and so but that that's comfortable, that

200
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: that zone of comfortableness, or whether you're directing a criminal

201
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: mind or whether you are acting in a comedic role,

202
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: let's let's show the assets of a being that stand

203
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: up being at having a stand up caper has done

204
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: for your brand. It's it's it's just really you're it's

205
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: really well put and you know, I'm not surprised that

206
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: you have a degree in mathematics and you went to

207
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: stand up to standards are typically incredibly intelligent. They're able

208
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: to think on their feet, They're able to think in

209
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: complex ways, Like I can totally see how those two

210
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: things share a relationship. That you were a scientist and

211
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: also a stand up comedian. Um, and I think you

212
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: know it's it's the tenacity that you get with comedy

213
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: where you have to be up on stage, you have

214
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: to hold an audience. You can't duck to the exits

215
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: if it doesn't go your way. And like you said,

216
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: the comfort level that you get not just one thing

217
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: that are going well, but one things are going poorly,

218
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: to know in your head, I can turn this background

219
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: and that and you know, I know you felt that

220
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: as a stand up where you've lost an audience and

221
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: you have done it long a us that you know, okay,

222
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I I know I can get them back and get

223
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: them back. It's that confidence. And I think you know,

224
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: luckily that that skill set that I got from stand

225
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: up and helped me, like you said, in every single

226
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: thing I've done, because it's the ability to think, I'm

227
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: of feet. It's the ability to take disparate you know,

228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: sets of information, disparate data and synthesize it into new ideas.

229
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: It's the ability to pivot. It's the ability not to

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: feelings just in front of a crowd. Uh, It's it's

231
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: the bravery of standing up in front of strangers and

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: communicating big ideas. And you know that you can use

233
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: that in any field at any time. You know, great

234
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: and the comedy that you love. Great comedy. There's lots

235
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: of funny guys out there, you know, guys who are

236
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: physical comics, guys who are joke comics. But the great

237
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: comics are the guys that are talking about big socio

238
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: cultural and personal ideas. You know, the guys that devastate,

239
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the guys that say something that makes you think, you

240
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: know mak her a month or a year down the line.

241
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: And so, you know, great comedy involves a lot of

242
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: sophisticated thinking and also being able to be nimble on

243
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: your feet. And I think that's those are probably the

244
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: two things that I've taken away from comedy that have

245
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: been the most useful in my other jobs. Is the

246
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: ability to be comfortable and and and and the dynamic

247
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: setting and to improvise and to be confident in communicating

248
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: big ideas to other people. And being persuasive. Wow, you

249
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: know I couldn't you know, I know what you're saying,

250
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: and I know that that undeniable fear. You have to

251
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: be fearless when you go on stage. You have to

252
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean different cities. I always tell people, you don't

253
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: know if somebody having a bad day, you know, the

254
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: person sitting next to they're not a happy couple, you know,

255
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: if if they're angry when they walk in there, or

256
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: they drawnk. You don't know. You're walking on stage in

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: San Francisco or New York or Chicago or Dallas or

258
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Houston or wherever. And once you able, once you're able

259
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: to make them laugh, and all those different planes, and

260
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking at different cities at different time zone. That's

261
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: when you go, I can do this for a little

262
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: and I can do anything. Really, like said, the fearless

263
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: sense that you have that you can do anything. You

264
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: know what you can do anything? You know, It's it's

265

Speaker 1: beautiful talking to y'all. I'm glad we finally got you

Speaker 1: on and experienced things. You know, this a little happy

360
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: hour with them because you know, for the last couple

361
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: of months, people haven't been able to go outside and

362
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,639

363
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: in her actions, spontaneous moments and an opportunity to allow

364
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: out seam and then so the happy hours, it is

365
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity for people to interact and like with me.

366
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: And then also every single happy hour, I've spocused on

367
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: the different COVID focused charity, So I highlight a different

368
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: charity that's doing COVID release. I encourage people to find

369
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: out more about them, to donate if they can. I

370
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: also give people resources to get assistance if they need assistance,

371
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: and then I and then I make a donation to

372
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: the to each to that charity at the end of

373
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: the hour. So it's just an opportunity to to connect

374
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: with people. And also for a lot of us, you know,

375
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: you want to do something, but you don't really know

376
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: what it is. You know, people can feel a little powerless,

377
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: uh in a in a crisis like this, So I

378
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: do some of the work to that these charities make

379
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: sure that they have a really strong rating on Charity Navigator,

380
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: so you know that they're efficient with the money. And

381
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: that's the money you donate is going to go to

382
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: the people that they help and uh. And also just

383
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to teach people about charities they may never have heard

384
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: of and uh. And that's a good experience for me

385
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: because UM a highlight of some charities that I know

386
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: very well and that I've learned of some new ones

387
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: that have been really exciting to learn more about it

388
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: to support. Okay, let's talk about this, you know, we

389
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: got we gotta we gotta talk about the serious side,

390
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: because I would tell you some one thing. You know,

391
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: she she's straight business, she's straight activists, and she's in

392
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: the middle of entertainer Okay, so I just don't think

393
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: she's just an entertainer. So but we gotta get back

394
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: to the entertaining side of this conversation with this with

395
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: these mixologist skills. Now, to my understanding, they sent me

416
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: people know, people probably know the Old Fashion is probably

417
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the most popular constitution in America. People know from watching

418
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Madman or from watching you know, Crazy Stupid Love, all

419
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: these movies where people make a great Old Fashion, um

420
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: and so. And then the Manhattan, which is a beautiful classic, yeah,

421
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: very sexy, very romatic, great elegant. Yes, it's exactly. And

422
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: then we're having we're coming up with a third flavor

423
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: of General Fashion this summer, which is a bright, uh

424
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of citrusy, good afternoon drink. Um. And then we're

425
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: gonna be coming at more flavor. These are cocktails that

426
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: are very spirit forward. They don't have any juice in them,

427
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: because you know, you don't you don't really want a

428
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: cocktail that where the juice can sit on a shelf

429
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: all day and night, that's got a real fresh that's

430
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: so these are spirit forward costs. You know. Um, they're

431
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: eight peru, same as a straight poll of the Liskey

432
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: so they're strong, so if you pour them over ice,

433
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get watery and uh and kind of

434
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: start to taste bad. You know what I mean. They

435
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: really made to be savored over time. That's really awesome.

436
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Now let's let's let's just talk about I want to

437
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: slow this down because that's that's that's an entrepreneur side

438
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: of you that I wasn't aware over when the book

439
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,840

440
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: go what I didn't go. Yeah, so I'd say that

441
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: just like that what I talk the girl about this?

442
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: So and so you know when you so what can

443

447
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,920

448
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: go out to bars restaurants, so it's delivered directly to

449
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: your house. Um, and you don't have to do anything.

450
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: They're they're not mixers. You don't have to add anything.

451
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: You just orb over. I used to keep in the fridge,

452
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, they're just they're on hand if friends come over. Uh,

453
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: they're beautiful. The bottles are beautiful. And right now, of

454
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: everything that we're making online, we are donating to the

455
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: US Bartenders Guild because you know, I want the bartender

456
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: in college. I owe so much of development of this

457
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: product to people in that in that business, and unlike restaurants,

458
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: bartenders haven't really been able to pivot take out and delivery,

459
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: so they're just not working right now. I mean when

460
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: I was a bartender, I was making a dollar ninety

461
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: an hour, so I lived on tips. That's how I

462
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: made a living. And for so many bartenders now have

463
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: no income. We just wanted to to to show that,

464
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: to show that part of our our economy a little

465
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: bit of love and support because you know, you're throw

466
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: out a little hands and about your ability. I was

467
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: a bartending college, so we'll let's says no, you know

468
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: that something that somebody just tapped you and shoulder and

469
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: say you want to make a little money on the side,

470
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: and this tyler, you said, look, I got skill set

471
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: to do this. So are Tom Cruise did the movie

472
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Cocktails where he was spending bottles and flipping him and

473
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: bottle landing in his back pocket and all that good

474
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: stuff when he's fipping up in the air. Now, are

475
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: you're putting on a show? Are you? Are you just

476
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: making drinks. I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

477
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying of a I'm more of a classic bartender.

478
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm more about the quality of the drink and the

479
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: experience with the drinker. And I think I love people

480
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: when I do it. It's a conversation because I teach

481
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: everybody at home out of do it. So I'm throwing

482
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: stuff in the air. I don't want to hit you.

483
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't take your kid in the head of the

484
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: bottle of our freedom here in your living room. Um.

485
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: But it's also like a little bit of the history

486
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: of the cocktail, of the history in America. You know,

487
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: there are a very few women in this space. There

488
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: are almost no women of color in this space, absolutely, um.

489
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: And so it's also important for me to expand the

490
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: scope of how Peo'll see not bartending in the spirit category,

491
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: but also to know that we have we actually have

492
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: a long history in the sperious category. A black man

493
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: taught Jack Daniels, how did this still whiskey? This is

494
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: out part of our history. We've always been a part

495
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: of it. And I want to be able to tell

496
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: these stories again and also too um to let everybody

497
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: know that just because you're a woman doesn't mean you

498
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: want to drink some drink with an umbrella sticking out

499
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean? I might to

Speaker 1: to talk whose line, friends Archer, about filmmaking, about whatever

521
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: they want to know. And I answered some questions at

522
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: the end of the happy hour. So it's a conversation

523
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: with any bartender. It's a nice way to connect. I

524
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: love that. I love that thing. So you you mentioned

525
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: the show that I want to bring up about that.

526
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: You know that you're directed some episodes called Criminal Mind,

527
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: and I talked about you know, I was are very

528
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: talented stand up comic, if I do say so much.

529
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: But my gift to my my blessings was I I

530
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: wanted to be behind the camera. I love writing, I

531
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: love producing, I love managing. And that that's where I

532
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: feel now I'm back in my back on the microphone. Yes,

533
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: life is like that. There there are always people paying

534
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: for change. That's what I love about your career. Life

535
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: was dynamic. Your career is a test to me, somebody

536
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: throw you a quality option. You're gonna pivot go what what? What?

537
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: What what what? And I want to and I want

538
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: to say that to you by because a lot of

539
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: people when I talk about this show, you know, they

540
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: are you know, it's about making change. And I always

541
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: tell people when you make change, you're not always happy

542
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: or comfortable with that change. You know, you're always happy

543
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: or comfortable with the opportunity, but you can't let that

544
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: fear or that doubt stop you. And when I look

545
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: at your resume, now, look at your resume. Every title

546
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: I throw out about you, or winning director, that's a

547
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: real deal for you. Actress, that's a real deal for you.

548
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: Stand up comedian that's a real deal. Best selling author, podcast,

549
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: the activists, all these things I'm saying about her and

550
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: is not just throw away credits or credits that she's

551
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: done in the past. She's actively participating and functioning and

552
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: all these very diverse opportunities right now. How do you

553
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: keep that hat on your head with all those options

554
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: just floating around and then maintaining a balance life, Are

555
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: you sure? Well? First of all, I think you've been

556
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: You've been saying it's so elegantly this entire time that

557
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: you have to be willing to be uncomfortable. You know, that.

558
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times people don't make changes

559
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: or pursue the things that they want because they're afraid

560
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: of failure or they're afraid of discomfort. And that's a

561
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: natural human instinct, just to avoid discomfort or to avoid failure.

562
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: But you really can't you can't make forward motion. You

563
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: can't make change without a being willing to fail and

564
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: being willing to learn from your failures and keep going

565
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: and be to accept that at some point you're not

566
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: going to be good at what you want to do,

567
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: and to really be open to learning and and and

568
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: to growing. And I think, UM, I never want to

569
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: be I never want to be complacent. I always want

570
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: to be learning about myself. I always want to be

571
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: challenging myself. I'm willing to do something and say, well,

572
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: that didn't go my way, but here's what I learned

573
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: about myself or what I learned about that skill set

574
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: and UM. And I always want to drive and push

575
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: myself to be the best that I can be. UM,

576
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: which sometimes can be very frightening, but I think it's important.

577
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: I know there were people who came before me who

578
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: pushed themselves to create a space for women might be

579
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: to be able to have more opportunities, and I want

580
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: to be able to create that space for other people

581
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: of color and for other women to challenge themselves and

582
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: to grow. And so I also that's the part of

583
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: what pushed to be forward is is something I do

584
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: inspire somebody else to be brave about their own pursuits,

585
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: then it's been worth it. But I just don't want

586
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: to be at the end of my life and feel

587
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: like I didn't give it everything I had and feel

588
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: and you not that would not be in your unity.

589
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: You know that she time door, That will not be

590
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: in your unity. You know, I'm just saying I did

591
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: it all, and that'd be on your grades. No, I

592
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: did it all and maybe some moth, maybe some That

593
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: is definitely yeah, that's for sure for sure. You know,

594
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: you gotta get out of these streets, right there's nothing,

595
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: nothing is guaranteed, and you got the one life. You

596
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: gotta go for it as hard as you possibly can.

597
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: And before before we go, I want to just talk

598
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: about your directing. That's another area where females don't participate

599
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: as much. You know, we we've seen a lot of

600
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: been high profile film projects. The movie production deals are

601
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: being starting to come out now. But to be behind

602
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 1: the camera and directing as a female. Let's talk walcous

603
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: through that step and walk us through the steps and

604
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity to do that on a hot, hot

605
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: profile projects, not independent project that you thought of you

606
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: getting your friends, though, I'm talking about network approved show.

607
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that right. Well. I think the reason

608
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: I got the networker proved shows is because of the

609
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: independent projects, because in the beginning, no one would give

610
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: me a shot. So I started making my own stuff

611
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: to demonstrate my skills that show what I could do.

612
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Is that way it came down to have a bigger opportunity.

613
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I had a calling card, I had something I could

614
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: show people, and really, you know, by the time I

615
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: directed my first episode of Criminal Minds, I already directed

616
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: seven short films and an independent feature and that was

617
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: really what unlocked the door to those bigger projects. And

618
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: so I always tell people, you know, start wherever you

619
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: can and push yourself to be as excellent as you

620
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: can be so that when the big opportunity comes along,

621
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: you're ready and you're confident and you know you can

622
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: do it. And that's that's really how that came about.

623
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: When I finally wanted to direct on television. I had

624
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: already directed a feature film, so they couldn't very well

625
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: say I didn't have the experience, you know, because I did.
