Speaker 6: We want to give it to legend who want to
Speaker 6: give it to people who has deserved it, who has
Speaker 6: earned this right? His brother here a tax politics at
Speaker 6: tax you know, real world issues direct straight on, got
Speaker 6: classic stand up issues?
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I got issues too, Classic issues?
Speaker 6: Got classic uh two seasons on Netflix. If you haven't
Speaker 6: seen it, you must be living under a rock because
Speaker 6: I'm in shock. So in case you don't know what
Speaker 6: we're talking about, we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Want to know.
Speaker 6: Because I just thought about it because I'm looking at
Speaker 6: the cocaine section that we got over there, Cocaine, that's
Speaker 6: Columbia right there, we got mister Lee Dominican. You pointed
Speaker 6: out a scarface accent. Are we good if ice run
Speaker 6: up in here right now?
Speaker 1: Probably not. I'm glad I got my paper.
Speaker 7: I say, I've been through it enough at this point
Speaker 7: that I'd been like, what, I'll just roll with the punches.
Speaker 7: I'm like, whenever I get out, this is going to
Speaker 7: be hot twenty minutes from stand.
Speaker 1: Up, And I think about it. So is it true
Speaker 1: that you didn't get your papers for twenty years? That's
Speaker 1: absolutely true? Does that? How does that work?
Speaker 6: How do you navigate being in this country with our papers?
Speaker 1: Because and then I'm want to give you my London story,
Speaker 1: So I like your London story. Jesus.
Speaker 7: Well, the thing is is that you you know I
Speaker 7: was documented, it wasn't undocumented. So the way you do
Speaker 7: is you file for asylum, and the asylum proceedings take
Speaker 7: quite some time. So before I even have my asylum granted,
Speaker 7: it took ten years. And people think, like when you
Speaker 7: get your asylum grants, you become a citizen.
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's not the case.
Speaker 7: You get your asylum granted, you wait five years to
Speaker 7: get your green card, and once you get your green card,
Speaker 7: you have to wait four years and nine months before
Speaker 7: you apply for citizenship. So in totality, it took me
Speaker 7: almost twenty years. You die of twenty years. So let
Speaker 7: me ask you, this is out of stupidity.
Speaker 1: No, it's fine.
Speaker 6: Does that happen from everybody getting a citizenship.
Speaker 1: Or does the guy from Scotland get his the six
Speaker 1: I mean it depends. I mean each situation, that's a
Speaker 1: whole difference. Yeah, it's a different thing. So we can
Speaker 1: filed for asylum. It's his own process and it does
Speaker 1: take time. You can't like skip the process.
Speaker 7: And they're so behind, it's so far behind in the
Speaker 7: court systems that it's just you know, it's by chance.
Speaker 7: And for us, we had all kinds of things that
Speaker 7: happened along the way that delayed it even further. I mean,
Speaker 7: my father passed away Altamo. He was he had a
Speaker 7: lawyer and you know, he had everything set up and
Speaker 7: then he passed. Once he passed, we didn't know who
Speaker 7: the lawyer was. We had to kind of start over again.
Speaker 1: Like the stuff in the series.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly what happened in the series exactly. That was
Speaker 7: a copy paste from episode seven and season one where
Speaker 7: the we finally get the case, We finally get the
Speaker 7: you know, we go into court and hopefully that we're
Speaker 7: gonna get our asylum granted. And then he says, I'm sorry,
Speaker 7: you know, I I you know, once he realized who
Speaker 7: my father was, I was looking for him. I didn't
Speaker 7: know that he passed away. He got teary eyed. He says,
Speaker 7: it has to remove himself from the case for compliment
Speaker 7: interest and that delayed is another like eight months, you
Speaker 7: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's just it just things just happened along the way.
Speaker 7: And I always, you know, take a stance of like
Speaker 7: I'm a privileged refugee, right, Like there's a lot of
Speaker 7: people plagi away, Like, yes, there was a struggle to
Speaker 7: get the paper where, yes, there was all these obstacles,
Speaker 7: but I was still in a situation where there was
Speaker 7: opportunity for me to grow and make it. I mean,
Speaker 7: look where I am here today. So I'm very very
Speaker 7: grateful for that. I'm very very grateful. So so I
Speaker 7: don't want to compare myself to to others that are
Speaker 7: living in the tent or those that are like they
Speaker 7: didn't even make it to the country because they died
Speaker 7: along the way. Like there's some really really serious conditions
Speaker 7: that refugees have to live under for most of their lives.
Speaker 7: It's not their entire lives, So I don't want to necessarily,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 1: I got to make sure that I point that out.
Speaker 7: Like I'm very, very privileged and I know that even
Speaker 7: though it was a massive struggle and a lot of
Speaker 7: turmoil to get over and still work through.
Speaker 1: You know, it's got very serious. I love the chill.
Speaker 1: Every time you come back podcast, it become so damn
Speaker 1: this will be more. No, I'm will tell you something.
Speaker 6: What's crazy is me watching especially is me watching the
Speaker 6: stand up.
Speaker 1: That's what your life kind of is.
Speaker 6: It's like you kind of make light of some very
Speaker 6: serious conversations, but you make it funny. And it's like
Speaker 6: it's like that's that's a gift in itself, Like.
Speaker 7: It's a natural reaction to these situations, like there's nothing
Speaker 7: else to do, Like it's so fucking depressing, you have
Speaker 7: to create something funny out of it, and it's very natural.
Speaker 7: It's not for us. It's just by like like even
Speaker 7: in the series, I just decided to put my character
Speaker 7: through the most pressure cooker of a situation. The more
Speaker 7: awkward or difficult the situation was, the funnier it gets, right,
Speaker 7: or maybe even the list of some kind of reaction
Speaker 7: from the viewer, like that was my intent, and uh, yeah,
Speaker 7: that's what it does.
Speaker 1: It's just a natural.
Speaker 7: Reaction to to the to the insanity happening around me.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the series for a second.
Speaker 6: Right, the fat guy in the series, I believe season one, right,
Speaker 6: he had you in the corner, had the guy somebody
Speaker 6: was Boxing's a gangsta Houston big guy who's the gegst
Speaker 6: from Houston's related to Boston Little Jack.
Speaker 7: No, this is no correlation. It all stop shotting. I'm
Speaker 7: trying to connect dot to. He was just the best
Speaker 7: man for the role and said he's just having to be.
Speaker 2: Fat, just like.
Speaker 1: I've got everybody this morning.
Speaker 6: I was like, he takes his slip, Little Jack. It's
Speaker 6: big that he puts.
Speaker 5: He's giving us schools conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1: Boxing ring is in third ward.
Speaker 7: I mean shout out to the tray and uh, it's
Speaker 7: another neighborhood that's close to my heart, just like a leaf.
Speaker 7: The neighborhood I grew up in, and that boxing gym
Speaker 7: was founded by my dear friend's father, who was Reverend
Speaker 7: Reverend Ray Martin, and that gym is you know, uh,
Speaker 7: he's done a lot of great things for the community.
Speaker 7: And that's why I film it there. Okay, has nothing
Speaker 7: to do with I do do that ship. I do
Speaker 7: do plany. Absolutely, I do do yes, I do do
Speaker 7: you do as well? But I absolutely am very mindful about,
Speaker 7: you know, having little little thing seeds that I plan
Speaker 7: along the way, you know, little hidden gems along the way.
Speaker 6: Yes, Like even in the series, right, there's a part
Speaker 6: where you're you're a young man and then they start
Speaker 6: cracking jokes.
Speaker 1: This is coffee, not Guinness. Okay, Okay, damn about that.
Speaker 1: I was about say that, I'll go and keep it
Speaker 1: to myself, but so it is. So it's a time.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a double on tantra.
Speaker 6: Right, you as a kid, you walk over, these two
Speaker 6: kids are fighting. I believe that both Mexicans, I mean, because.
Speaker 1: They're playing the dozens, right, and then you walk over,
Speaker 1: you laugh, and then one.
Speaker 6: Of the the kids like start fighting on you. Now
Speaker 6: here's a question that I have, was that the first
Speaker 6: time you saw comedy?
Speaker 1: Was was that the correlation for that that scene? Was
Speaker 1: it the first time you saw comedy or that was
Speaker 1: the first time you was being American bully. No, that's
Speaker 1: definitely not the first time I've seen comedy. Okay.
Speaker 7: First, I've seen people play the dozens where they just
Speaker 7: rag on each other's.
Speaker 1: Mother's right, Okay, I've never seen that as an Arab person.
Speaker 1: That's Muslim person. That's the most sacred next use your mom.
Speaker 7: So I'm like, you know, and I had a British accent,
Speaker 7: was like, yeah, like you know, I don't know, doesn't know.
Speaker 1: What is that that's like raging? Okay, guy, I could
Speaker 1: tell you is a turn?
Speaker 2: You know that turn like like Richard pryor like that
Speaker 2: error they like your mama jokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first time is a Muslim as.
Speaker 7: An Arab guy is just fresh off the country from
Speaker 7: I went to British English school.
Speaker 1: I heard people, your mama's so fair.
Speaker 7: Everybody gets your your MoMA, so you know your mama
Speaker 7: gets wrong, She's like a doorknob. Everybody gets to turn.
Speaker 7: I was like what the I was like talking about
Speaker 7: each other's moment. It was just you couldn't believe, like
Speaker 7: this is like, you know, there's a murder that's about
Speaker 7: to happen in our culture if you talk about his mom.
Speaker 1: And this was just like, you know, just jokes. You know,
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6: No, but I heard you told say Arabic slang and
Speaker 6: you said one of the Arabic slang is fuck you
Speaker 6: pussy that.
Speaker 1: I was like, Jamaican, I have I have a joke
Speaker 1: about language.
Speaker 7: It's really the joke essence of the joke is about
Speaker 7: language is really funny talk about No, I did not.
Speaker 1: Say I'm an American.
Speaker 2: I don't ever I don't.
Speaker 1: Ever come sign anything.
Speaker 7: I want to keep my I just had this basketboard.
Speaker 7: I've been very happy to travel world.
Speaker 1: Stand up.
Speaker 7: No, it's just like if it's a joke about you know,
Speaker 7: language and how sophistical languages, and I think it's just
Speaker 7: a funny turn to take just to talk about, for
Speaker 7: given example, about cursing in Arabic versus English, and cursing
Speaker 7: in Arabic is much much more, you know, has a
Speaker 7: lot of impact after like it, you know, yeah, bro,
Speaker 7: you said the movie The Pussy you slithered out of it.
Speaker 1: It's just craise's so horrible. Yeah, like what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Like this is impossible, Like motherfucker's nothing, there's
Speaker 1: nothing you Yeah right, you know you said there's one
Speaker 1: word that's that fuck you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's probably one of my favorite is.
Speaker 8: Your whole history, which means your entire history, like my
Speaker 8: great great grandy, all them, the entire your whole DNA.
Speaker 1: Your whole DNA. That that is just diabolical.
Speaker 7: And it's not even like it's not even no like
Speaker 7: filthy words come out of it's just a sentence like
Speaker 7: that means, damn, your history.
Speaker 1: That's so fucked up, you know, it means this is
Speaker 1: really like a very diverse conversation right now. So how
Speaker 1: was it?
Speaker 7: Like he just told me my mom supposed.
Speaker 1: To joke, I don't know. He's from Iraq? Why, Okay?
Speaker 1: So in New Yorkers in the building.
Speaker 2: In New York there's an area where he's from called
Speaker 2: Left Frack City. So when he came out with his group,
Speaker 2: component nor Diega, Left Frack City became Iraq Cocaine Kwa
Speaker 2: Compone was from Queen's Bridge, so it's kwait and.
Speaker 6: He needs to know, just kind of like, you know,
Speaker 6: it was a very different places from For years I
Speaker 6: never corrected people, but also.
Speaker 1: People like, hey man, you from my rack.
Speaker 6: I'm like, sure, I'll tell you. Okay, So what were
Speaker 6: talking about? Okay, yeah, cool, Yeah, that's when I was.
Speaker 1: Stuck in Japan.
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, you said it's hard to get in London
Speaker 7: as well. Well, No, it was just like at that
Speaker 7: time when I didn't have a passport, it was very
Speaker 7: difficult to get into a lot of different places.
Speaker 1: But excuse me, difficult anyway if you have yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have. What they do is they give you a
Speaker 1: refugee travel document. So I'm stateless, bro, it's not it
Speaker 1: so many stories. Yeah it is, and it isn't like
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 7: But when you have literally no other option, you don't
Speaker 7: think about it as like, oh it is scary traveling
Speaker 7: with this. There's nothing that's scary for you. All it
Speaker 7: is is like you're just trying to get to the gig.
Speaker 7: So there's many many situations where I had to, like
Speaker 7: you know, I had to learn the law. I had
Speaker 7: to understand what my rights were. Most of the time
Speaker 7: I'm educating the U the lady that's checking me in,
Speaker 7: or the person who's checking me into the airport. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I was like no.
Speaker 1: According to the United Nations in nineteen forty eight when
Speaker 1: it was once it was founded, this refugee travel document
Speaker 1: allows you to travel internationally while you're still seeking asylum
Speaker 1: in that respected country and therefore, you know, regarding the
Speaker 1: rules of the United States and that respect country that
Speaker 1: I'm visiting, they have a deal in place that allows
Speaker 1: me to travel there legally. Here's a document that pauls like,
Speaker 1: guess it was just my life.
Speaker 7: Its sometimes I would like miss lead the agent a
Speaker 7: little bit to just let me go in, and then
Speaker 7: I would just take my chances once I got to
Speaker 7: that country. So it was kind of a situation pretty
Speaker 7: much on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was. I was my case. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is undred percent.
Speaker 7: And my first gig was I was like nineteen years old,
Speaker 7: I'm going to Germany, Italy, Sicily, and I went to
Speaker 7: the German consulate the day I'm flying out to Germany,
Speaker 7: like the most rookie ass shit, the day you're flying out,
Speaker 7: you're going to see if you can actually.
Speaker 1: Go to the gig to be I would have missed
Speaker 1: the whole gig.
Speaker 7: I was with the whole gig. It's my whole livelihood.
Speaker 7: I have nothing else, and it was nuts. Because I
Speaker 7: get to the consulate, he goes, this might be the
Speaker 7: luckiest day of your life.
Speaker 1: I said why.
Speaker 7: He said, because you have a refugee travel document that's
Speaker 7: issued by the United States. It is recognized by Germany
Speaker 7: essentially as a passport.
Speaker 1: You don't need to enter uh Germany with a visa. Additionally,
Speaker 1: you can travel eat Italy legally because they just passed
Speaker 1: the Shannghan law.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that Shangan law, which means
Speaker 7: you can once you enter a European country within New
Speaker 7: European Union, you can travel now domestically in the other countries,
Speaker 7: so you don't need a visa anymore. Once I knew
Speaker 7: that loophole, I was booking gigs in Holland. I was
Speaker 7: flying to Germany. Go to Germany, kids, train and go
Speaker 7: down to Ampsteam. I was doing all kinds of moves
Speaker 7: like that just to get to where I need to
Speaker 7: get for the gig.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so is it.
Speaker 6: God blessed America for you.
Speaker 7: God bless America. God bless everything. Okay, God bless everything
Speaker 7: all the time. You can't do anything in there made
Speaker 7: yeah what I was trying to get my citizenship. Yah,
Speaker 7: it was just like I even forgot the bit that
Speaker 7: was so long ago, seven years ago.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember that bit.
Speaker 7: It's funny you're referencing the first special, because I feel
Speaker 7: like that was one of my favorite jokes at all
Speaker 7: in that sure.
Speaker 2: Comedy. Once you put out a special, those jokes go away.
Speaker 1: And bringing your jokes no more. It's like an album.
Speaker 1: No no, it's still yeah the comedy.
Speaker 2: Those jokes are gone, so we know them more than
Speaker 2: the comedian because we get in I.
Speaker 1: See him second looking at me. I didn't beat that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like it's the opposite.
Speaker 7: Like hip hop artists or musicians in general, like they
Speaker 7: write their album in studio, they released the album, they
Speaker 7: tore the album. Comedians, we write the album live in
Speaker 7: front of the audience, and we tore it like hell.
Speaker 7: Once we get it solidified, we film it, we release it.
Speaker 1: We don't know. We no longer tour the album. It's
Speaker 1: the direct opposite.
Speaker 7: Signs are not that fair because some people come to
Speaker 7: the shows and be like they start thinking request that
Speaker 7: it's never you used to like, it's lose lose really
Speaker 7: because every time they come out they love the new material.
Speaker 7: But also they're like, I wanted to see those if
Speaker 7: you would do the old ship, they'll see like I
Speaker 7: thought it was gonna be new ships. Never, it's always
Speaker 7: a work in progress, all right.
Speaker 2: They try to. There's talks with some comedians like doing
Speaker 2: the greatest hits and stuff. Yeah, because there's some jokes
Speaker 2: that consist of there's just some jokes that are so
Speaker 2: famous to us that we love so much, but once
Speaker 2: the special comes out, they don't ever do those jokes again.
Speaker 4: It wasn't always like that, because there used to be
Speaker 4: regular albums put out by comedians.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 7: But it was different though, because in those days it
Speaker 7: was either just audio or a few channels, a few
Speaker 7: channels that existed you could you could release something and
Speaker 7: still essentially tour it because most people haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: It was for the specials. Yeah, well even you know
Speaker 1: they had specials back there. But I'm saying that specials
Speaker 1: are big. Yeah, they're so big.
Speaker 7: They still they still would tour them back in the
Speaker 7: day a little bit to a certain degree, probably a
Speaker 7: lot more than today.
Speaker 1: For sure, but I think that's the problem with new comedians.
Speaker 7: Today, Like they post everything on TikTok, and they post
Speaker 7: everything that they have on Instagram, and then people come
Speaker 7: out and watched and they're doing the same.
Speaker 1: You don't have enough material, and that's not the way
Speaker 1: it goes.
Speaker 7: You know, you need to save that and have patience.
Speaker 7: There's no patience anymore about nurturing the art form and
Speaker 7: really really growing as a comedian as a stand up
Speaker 7: and then find yourself and then being able to get
Speaker 7: in rhythm and understand like your process, and then you
Speaker 7: just start just talking.
Speaker 1: You don't even need to depend on materials, just go
Speaker 1: on stage and just do your thing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's the difference.
Speaker 6: I know you said earlier said sometimes you said sometimes
Speaker 6: you think it's not.
Speaker 1: Fair, right.
Speaker 6: The one thing that I think is really not fair
Speaker 6: is when like, like you know, me doing this show,
Speaker 6: I started to like research, you know, the real chit
Speaker 6: in circuit, right, because you know, we had our versions
Speaker 6: of the it was called underground or backpack, right, oh,
Speaker 6: and we used to go to do these shows. But
Speaker 6: when I started to investigate the comedic world, I started
Speaker 6: to realize that it was a lot less comedians that
Speaker 6: made it like meaning like there was people that was
Speaker 6: on a bill with somebody that was getting five grand
Speaker 6: and somebody was getting one hundred dollars or like something
Speaker 6: like that, and I had met the fuck got here
Speaker 6: about like when we first started, Like because what I'm
Speaker 6: saying is like, if you get a little buzz and
Speaker 6: hip hop like a Beaer minimum figure, you're getting like
Speaker 6: twenty five or like three k, Like.
Speaker 1: You get one big hit, you eat off of that
Speaker 1: the rest of your life.
Speaker 6: It is correct, that's potentially situation.
Speaker 1: Then that's it.
Speaker 6: Like the comedians and I looked at like somebody like
Speaker 6: maybe I would know from Staten Island and no one
Speaker 6: else knows, but he's from Staten Island and he's funny
Speaker 6: white guy, and I'm like, I like him. And then
Speaker 6: I'm like, hey, you know, you know, you know you
Speaker 6: can book him for a fucking one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: thirty five bucks, like what and like so that that
Speaker 6: part was like mind blowing to me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Bro, my first gig, I think I made twenty
Speaker 7: five dollars. You know, twenty five bucks. You were touring,
Speaker 7: you would do these one nighters. You have the chilling
Speaker 7: circuit like you said, for yourselves. My circuit was throughout
Speaker 7: the South, so it was me my Toyota Camri and
Speaker 7: just driving to one night or after one night, or
Speaker 7: you just go seven hours this way for I used
Speaker 7: to make fun of this booker, like, motherfucker, do you
Speaker 7: have a map?
Speaker 1: But you know, God damn, bro, I gotta go go Oklahoma.
Speaker 7: I gotta come back to Temple, Texas. I gotta go
Speaker 7: back to Oklahoma. Who the fuck is booking this?
Speaker 1: He was just reading.
Speaker 7: One time he called me. He was like, listen, I
Speaker 7: got you a middle of no desk on Friday. I
Speaker 7: got you a gig on Saturday, a monthly. I was like,
Speaker 7: where the fuck is monthy? And then I looked it up.
Speaker 7: I was like monthly Indiana. I was like, bro, I
Speaker 7: have to get off stage an hour before I go
Speaker 7: on to make it in time to months Indiana. This
Speaker 7: is twenty four hour drive. It's like, he's just absurd.
Speaker 7: But it was like one hundred dollars a gig that
Speaker 7: you can make, and if you come back with something,
Speaker 7: you are happy. But it's about like developing your r form,
Speaker 7: not really about the money.
Speaker 1: It's about the long term. It's like a forever promo run.
Speaker 1: It sounds like ye, like for artists, that's a promo run.
Speaker 1: Went on the road for free go out there, said yeah,
Speaker 1: he just got he's got to develop your material for
Speaker 1: yourself as an artist, as a.
Speaker 7: Comedian, as you know, slow and you figure out yourself.
Speaker 7: It's very very slow. I mean when I walked into
Speaker 7: the Comedy Showcase when I was like seventeen years old,
Speaker 7: my mentor, Danny Martinez, he looked at me, saw me
Speaker 7: go up on stage, and he was like, he took
Speaker 7: me aside. He took me outside actually, and he goes, listen,
Speaker 7: I've mentored a lot of comedians. They've gone on to
Speaker 7: have very successful careers. And he mapped out my entire life. Wow,
Speaker 7: and like he told me every step of what my
Speaker 7: life is going to look like. And he told me
Speaker 7: I was gonna have my own TV show. He told
Speaker 7: me I'm gonna have this, I'm gonna have a specials,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do movies. He told me my whole life.
Speaker 7: He says, but it's gonna take you twenty years. And
Speaker 7: if you're in great, I want you know you will
Speaker 7: be my last student and you have to listen to everything.
Speaker 7: I say if you don't, don't waste my fucking time.
Speaker 1: Are you in? I was like, Hell, yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 7: It was the same mentor to Ralphie May you know
Speaker 7: it was a great comedian from Houston and t Shan
Speaker 7: Channon who wrote for SNL for many years, and many
Speaker 7: many other comedians who ended up having their own specials
Speaker 7: and have their own success at their own levels.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: So I was like as a seventeen year old kid
Speaker 7: that had no real guyance. I was seventeen.
Speaker 2: M wow.
Speaker 7: I started when I was fourteen in high school doing
Speaker 7: stand up in like my classes. After my dad died,
Speaker 7: I just like stopped. I skipped school. I was living
Speaker 7: like first US day off. I would wear like rollings
Speaker 7: school and seldom host. Was that like a thoughtful lot
Speaker 7: to do what comedy back then?
Speaker 1: No, it's not that stuff for a lot.
Speaker 7: It was just more of an unknown you know, nobody
Speaker 7: really knew. Nobody knew stand up, like especially my family.
Speaker 7: My mom didn't understand it. I come from a very
Speaker 7: educated family and background, so it was like it was
Speaker 7: weird for me not to go to college, like bypass
Speaker 7: going to college and do stand up comedies. You just
Speaker 7: concerned for my futures, just like any parent would be.
Speaker 2: You know, I was selling I was telling somebody the
Speaker 2: other day, like it takes a long time to get
Speaker 2: good at stand up. Because look, even as a DJ, right,
Speaker 2: if you have a shit gig in a bar, you
Speaker 2: get three hours and you practicing for three hours, right, Like,
Speaker 2: maybe there's ten people in there, and you like you
Speaker 2: rapping a three hours, You're like, you're practicing as much
Speaker 2: as you can. Stand up. You get ten or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: And it might be a dude in there telling you suck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you got to get it's.
Speaker 2: Really clicking where you only get ten I mean, bro,
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minutes means you have a good set.
Speaker 2: Open mics is four minutes. Maybe somebody that you open
Speaker 2: up for five minutes. Like when I was on the
Speaker 2: radio in New York and all these comedians will come
Speaker 2: do carolines. I'll be like, yo, can I can I
Speaker 2: open up five minutes before the show stuck?
Speaker 6: Before five minutes is taken us there? Five minutes or
Speaker 6: that five minutes is like.
Speaker 2: No, have a certain amount of open Like.
Speaker 6: If he has thirty minutes and you say to him,
Speaker 6: can I get five minutes?
Speaker 1: He doesn't get thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: A lot of time before that depends.
Speaker 7: It ends, But usually there's a lot of time for whatever.
Speaker 7: Whoever's opening, just give them whatever time. But yeah, unless
Speaker 7: because sometimes it's back to back shows on weekends. Most
Speaker 7: of the time it is back to back shows. So
Speaker 7: therefore the first show is affected by the second show,
Speaker 7: So you gotta sometimes there's some adjustments you might take
Speaker 7: away from the first show, but the second show you
Speaker 7: can go along.
Speaker 1: So who's who's been a dickhead to you? When you
Speaker 1: ask us?
Speaker 4: To me?
Speaker 7: When I had to open up, I mean, there was
Speaker 7: some headline I don't remember their names, but it was
Speaker 7: just like, why you doing this material in front of me?
Speaker 7: Or don't do that because I touch upon this. I'm like, well,
Speaker 7: I don't even know who you are, what stand.
Speaker 1: Up you do? Like, I'm just doing my thing. So
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 7: I was raised and stand up as like, Yo, if
Speaker 7: somebody does a joke that touches upon yours in some way, wow,
Speaker 7: you have to be able to pivot and move and
Speaker 7: that's what makes you a great comedian. So I never
Speaker 7: do that to anybody who opens up for me. Where
Speaker 7: anybody who works with me or anything like that. I
Speaker 7: never rarely ever trying to say yo yo yo. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 7: not even like joke. So whose mind is more like
Speaker 7: the subject matter where it becomes repetitive. It's very very
Speaker 7: rare that I've ever even said anything like that. It's
Speaker 7: usually the circumstances there. But they do that frequently. People
Speaker 7: do that frequently. And I would say when I first started,
Speaker 7: because I was so young, and I was so like,
Speaker 7: you know, just like full energy. I'm seventeen, I'm bouncing
Speaker 7: off the wall very you know, very very expressive and
Speaker 7: all this stuff. So there's you know, there's just like
Speaker 7: this shit that exists in like stand up where they're
Speaker 7: like click is or you're not like.
Speaker 1: This or you're not like that. But bro, I'm seventeen,
Speaker 1: you know, saying what do you?
Speaker 7: You have to mature and grow and figure it out
Speaker 7: for yourself and see where you're gonna end up.
Speaker 1: So I didn't like that shit.
Speaker 7: That's why I really like I focused on what was important,
Speaker 7: which is getting stage time, getting on the road and
Speaker 7: getting better and staying focused and making.
Speaker 1: Sure that all the other stuff is just noise.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: I noticed that everyone was just trying to emulate who
Speaker 7: they love most, and we all do to a certain degree.
Speaker 7: But the thing the gap for me was I've only
Speaker 7: been in the country eight years, so people walk up
Speaker 7: to me and be like, oh, you sound like Sam Knston.
Speaker 7: I'm like, who's Sam Kennis? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: When I was doing stand up eight years I came
Speaker 7: ou I was nine years old. I started when I
Speaker 7: was fourteen in high school. The only person that I
Speaker 7: knew was those famous ones who had television shows. And
Speaker 7: then by the time I was, you know, seventeen, I
Speaker 7: didn't know who Bill Hicks was. Or imagine tell your mom, like,
Speaker 7: who's just like making X amount of dollars? We need
Speaker 7: cable like get the fuck out of my face, cable
Speaker 7: trying to eat to make sure the rent is spaced.
Speaker 7: So I had no knowledge of previous comedians that existed
Speaker 7: before me. And that then there was a comedian that
Speaker 7: came up to me at open mic. He's like, you know,
Speaker 7: there's all these interesting characters on Mike. He does real estate,
Speaker 7: but he shows up every Monday Mike. He's the one
Speaker 7: who gave me all these VHS tapes of all these
Speaker 7: amazing comedians that have had specials and that's when I
Speaker 7: started really understanding my own art form. You know, I
Speaker 7: was like, oh, and even Eddie Murphy. I didn't know
Speaker 7: Eddie Murphy didn't stand up. I knew him from the
Speaker 7: movies because he only did two specials. I hadn't know
Speaker 7: any that was in the eighties. I came in ninety one,
Speaker 7: ninety ninety one, so I had no idea, No, oh,
Speaker 7: that's a Murphy Joe, who's it? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 7: of course I know. I remember, but I didn't know
Speaker 7: he didn stand up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It was like that raw too raw and delivery delirious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I know that. Yes, No, incredible, incredible, incredible.
Speaker 6: So I thought I was the hotel king until one
Speaker 6: day I'm scrolling across complex and I see an interview
Speaker 6: with you, and you said, because I finessed the four
Speaker 6: o'clock checkout, I thought four thirty I was ill.
Speaker 1: I thought I was ill with the four thirty. I
Speaker 1: heard you get a six o'clock check I've gotten six
Speaker 1: pm checkouts eight pm. I have not all the day.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this trick. Is is a British accent?
Speaker 1: You have to heard heard? Yeah? Okay, yound like he said, hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: who am I speaking with? You know, listen, this is
Speaker 1: my flight has been canceled out of Europe unfortunately, and
Speaker 1: this booked through a travelationship, so I couldn't I couldn't
Speaker 1: change my ticket, and I'm wonder, you know, you got
Speaker 1: to just put them in a very stressful situation and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh you know, and they're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: we can't do it. Well, I need to speak with
Speaker 1: someone you know, would do a lot of business with you.
Speaker 1: We have contracts, which is all bullshit contracts. Who deals
Speaker 1: with them any kind of way? Got the hate, you know,
Speaker 1: far business to be hurt in any kind of way
Speaker 1: if you're not able to, you know, accommodate me in
Speaker 1: some time.
Speaker 7: And they just fucking freak out. And then all of
Speaker 7: a sudden, the manager comes on and I do it
Speaker 7: for jokes. I don't even stay till four pm. I
Speaker 7: just want to see how far I can take it.
Speaker 7: But four, five pm, six pm is pretty standard. One time,
Speaker 7: before I was touring in India, I was in Egypt
Speaker 7: doing a show. He called me and this is just
Speaker 7: one FaceTime like drop. He called me on FaceTime and
Speaker 7: I got him a four pm checkout at this crazy
Speaker 7: like five star hotel.

Speaker 1: don't know if you've been to England.
Speaker 7: Nobody looks British anymore British.

Speaker 7: were like, well, you know they it was like a
Speaker 7: big thing. I didn't realize. I ain't know anything about
Speaker 7: gang culture at all when I first got to the States,
Speaker 7: and I didn't you know, I was always in these
Speaker 7: situations where that was like the Mexicans didn't understand where
Speaker 7: it was.
Speaker 1: They were like confused by me and black folks. In
Speaker 1: their gangs.
Speaker 7: There was very like segregated gangs, right, So the black
Speaker 7: gangs would be like, what you're doing here, what you're
Speaker 7: doing in this neighborhood say? And I'd be like, no, man,
Speaker 7: my name is Mohammed. They'd be like, oh ship, I'm

Speaker 7: I was like driving down the street and I look
Speaker 7: up and I see that, you know, the immigrant blanket
Speaker 7: is furry that has the animals on them, the tigers
Speaker 7: on them.
Speaker 1: And ship, you know anything about exactly up, I saw
Speaker 1: one with two Mexicans on horses and the Mexican flag
Speaker 1: on it. I just pulled over. I had to buy
Speaker 1: that ship. I don't know why.
Speaker 7: I took a picture of it and I sent it
Speaker 7: to my friend Ralph Barbosa and he text me back.
Speaker 7: He was like, that's us, bro, And I was like,
Speaker 7: I said, his mind. I just bought that ship. I
Speaker 7: just have it at the house.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what the comedian yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: under comedian Ralph you you you you.
Speaker 6: FaceTime me with him and brat christ Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: So now I'm gonna ask you, sife right, because to
Speaker 6: us is outside of looking looking in, it looks like
Speaker 6: the comedian. For years, it looked like the comedian world
Speaker 6: was the tightest net of people. I went to numerous shows,
Speaker 6: enjoyed myself. In fact, in fact, we're jealous of them.
Speaker 6: At one point, I'm like, no one's fighting, everyone gets
Speaker 6: their back end. Until recently, I want to say, and
Speaker 6: I'm not blaming this on this individual, but I want
Speaker 6: to say, since this dude had did this interview, it
Speaker 6: seemed like the comedian world slipped upside down and like
Speaker 6: people is Kat Williams.
Speaker 1: And more people are beefing too, like Mark Maren and
Speaker 1: I've been hearing prior to that, but once Kat did
Speaker 1: Club Shah, I felt like the comedian world became hip
Speaker 1: hop y'all beefing with each other.
Speaker 2: It was always hip hop.
Speaker 1: See that's the part we didn't know, right.
Speaker 2: Me being uh to be able to play both sides.
Speaker 2: It's always been hip hop, but it was always quiet.
Speaker 2: It was always on the low. The Cat Williamson definitely
Speaker 2: blew it up. And also social media and yeah, everybody
Speaker 2: just getting on a podcast talking for hours, you start
Speaker 2: slipping out with some beef or somebody that. But there
Speaker 2: was always like like.
Speaker 6: Joke stealers or that's not to play with joke stealing no, no, no.
Speaker 2: The worst thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there was always be from what I noticed,
Speaker 2: but to me, like especially like there's like different comedy worlds.
Speaker 2: There's like the urban comedy world. Then there's like the
Speaker 2: mainstream comedy world, which definitely means black and white. Right. Uh,
Speaker 2: the urban comedy world always had drama, but it was
Speaker 2: always quiet because.
Speaker 1: Scott loves in the urban comedy world. Tracy Morgan.
Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan, Uh, Tracy Morgan can't go into urban. But
Speaker 2: he's more mainstream.
Speaker 1: Like we're saying mainstream. We saying he's saying crossover. There's
Speaker 1: crossovers also, Yeah, let's say cross over mainstream mainstream course.
Speaker 2: But like the people that I learned under when I
Speaker 2: came up, yeah smoking from hoptown. Yeah urban Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like I caick up under back in the day when
Speaker 2: I first started trying to learn stand up talent Compone,
Speaker 2: Smoky Mark Vieira all that. That's like the urban world.
Speaker 2: And then but the day about the urban world, they
Speaker 2: paid better, Like when I was doing them shows when
Speaker 2: I first started coming up, they would pay me too, three.
Speaker 1: Four hundreds, right Jesus that no certain wages.
Speaker 2: Were cleaning up some money or whatever. Then I went
Speaker 2: into the mainstream world, which is the white world and
Speaker 2: the comedy Celler Comedy Seller twenty five, thirty fifty ups.
Speaker 2: So a lot of the urban guys go, I ain't
Speaker 2: going over there because you don't make money.
Speaker 1: Amy Swimmers coming on after you, Sarah Silverman, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean about comedians manah, yeah, that's the cross over.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I see them beef, like at the Comedy Seller,
Speaker 2: I see two comedians beefing, and and somehow I get
Speaker 2: mixed in. I said, Bro. I said, listen, Bro, I've
Speaker 2: been in shootouts. I can't do this little Oh you
Speaker 2: stole my chicken wing like little you got, I said.
Speaker 2: I try not to laugh because they're obviously going through something.
Speaker 2: But I played at the Tunnel.
Speaker 1: Bro triggered, as mentioned in Tunnel that's not going on,
Speaker 1: said listen, listen, what are we doing where we're going?
Speaker 1: This was a club that other platinum artists from other
Speaker 1: places and other drummers.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say everybody, but I want to
Speaker 6: say a couple of them.
Speaker 1: But they would call me and be like, can you
Speaker 1: walk me in?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Bro, that's how it was like.
Speaker 6: They would ask me to walk them in the club,
Speaker 6: like and then the bathroom was it was you the
Speaker 6: sex so it was it was that's crazy. I remember
Speaker 6: I went to the Tunnel one time, and I had
Speaker 6: overalls on and this is this is the deeper time
Speaker 6: at the time, and my whole connected was people.
Speaker 1: And uh fuck my ship and my people just fell
Speaker 1: right into.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 9: I'm The thing was, how did you know.
Speaker 2: Many people you see in this studio right now? Roughly?
Speaker 2: Roughly how many right now? Rough about twenty people? Imagine
Speaker 2: Norrid in the nightclubs back in the day. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: eighty my god?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? How do you have fun? We had fun?
Speaker 1: We had fun, absolutely had fun. How do you remember
Speaker 1: everybody's names? Number seven? Yeah, I'll come seven and I
Speaker 1: went to bob Lub.
Speaker 6: So now let's let's a scrap Houston, right, Yeah, because
Speaker 6: not only you come from a very new place, Houston,
Speaker 6: but you come from this time.
Speaker 1: Right Like. I love the fact that she was living
Speaker 1: in real time right.
Speaker 6: On the episode on a series. Even the fact that
Speaker 6: you was selling fake Rolex. Now, was that a real thing,
Speaker 6: that you were selling fake roller?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I would, I would.
Speaker 7: I would sell stuff when I was a teenager. I
Speaker 7: was much younger than then. It was right after my
Speaker 7: father died. Sorry. Yeah, I had all of them, bro,
Speaker 7: all of them. So what I did was I used
Speaker 7: to work in this convenience store. So after my father died,
Speaker 7: his friend gave me a job at his convenience store.
Speaker 7: And there was a guy there wearing a really nice watch.
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, that's really cool because it's fake. I
Speaker 7: was like, looks great. He goes you want to try
Speaker 7: to sell them? I can get him for I was
Speaker 7: like sure, So that's what I did, and then he
Speaker 7: got me sunglasses and everything else. And what I would
Speaker 7: do is I would look outside the window and honestly,
Speaker 7: I'd be real. It was drug deals, mostly in the neighborhood,
Speaker 7: and I knew who I was going to sell to you,
Speaker 7: and I would put on like besides the sunglasses, and
Speaker 7: I would just wait and he'd walk in and be like,
Speaker 7: oh shit, the hoses fire. The last one he did it,
Speaker 7: and I'd do my whole sales fish and they take it,
Speaker 7: and then the next guy walking up for another like, oh,
Speaker 7: it's it, so last one, and I would sell them.
Speaker 1: At the end of the week. They'd be so mad
Speaker 1: because everybody's wearing the same shit, and they.
Speaker 7: Would come through that the last one for fucking lit.
Speaker 7: I was like at the time, it was, but for real,
Speaker 7: for real, I have one Movado just two tone, and
Speaker 7: I would sell that.
Speaker 1: But did they buy it knowing it was fake? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, of course.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be like, who the hell's buying a Rolex
Speaker 7: for seventy five dollars?
Speaker 1: Yeah, very true.
Speaker 7: If they thought that, I would just be like, come on,
Speaker 7: what are you talking about, bro? Like, you don't give
Speaker 7: me that Watchmack. I probably could sell it for one
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 6: But me and you we got together in Orlando, Yeah,
Speaker 6: and me and you had like a conversation for hours
Speaker 6: about watching.
Speaker 1: So was that how you developed your love for watches?
Speaker 6: Was actually dealing with the replicas?
Speaker 7: No, actually it was. It's a really good story. Man,
Speaker 7: my father everything is like tied in a lot of
Speaker 7: things are tied into my father and my history. So
Speaker 7: when the war happened, I was always told my father
Speaker 7: had this really nice Rolex and it was lost in
Speaker 7: the war, and it was always my like, it was always, man,
Speaker 7: I need to get that watch back for my dad.
Speaker 1: It was that kind of thing.
Speaker 7: And then it became about time and how obsessed I
Speaker 7: am with time. It's the most valuable commodity and the
Speaker 7: mechanism and how it works, and how refined each time
Speaker 7: pieces from the other. So it just became this like
Speaker 7: rabbit hole and then I just like got into it.
Speaker 1: Big time and.
Speaker 7: I got the watch back. It was like a really
Speaker 7: that same wash, Yeah it was. It was It was
Speaker 7: a date just that my father had stainless steel. It
Speaker 7: was beautiful and I wanted to get that back. And
Speaker 7: it was interestingly because I bought it in Bahrain Airport
Speaker 7: uh in twenty eighteen after my first special and it
Speaker 7: was the same airport that I was stuck at the
Speaker 7: airport for in two thousand and six for seventeen hours
Speaker 7: becau they wouldn't let me in because I didn't have
Speaker 7: a passport. So it was that same airport twelve years
Speaker 7: later that I saw just sitting there and I was like,
Speaker 7: I don't care, and it.
Speaker 1: Was a piece.
Speaker 7: No, I wasn't an interesting in yeah yeah, So but
Speaker 7: I basically I felt like I got that watch back
Speaker 7: from my father. And then it became more about time
Speaker 7: of understanding time or being obsessed with time, and then
Speaker 7: the mechanism itself and how it works and how each
Speaker 7: one differs from the other and how they're engineered and
Speaker 7: put together, and I just think it's so fascinating and
Speaker 7: how small, little and you know pieces that go into
Speaker 7: the watch to be so specific about time, and you know,
Speaker 7: I just find it to be so fascinating.
Speaker 1: And you're looking at me like, no, I just like it.
Speaker 2: I look.
Speaker 6: Because yeah, it's different ways how people getting guid into watches, Like, yeah.
Speaker 1: It was my father. It was my father knowing that
Speaker 1: he lost something.
Speaker 7: It was like my father came from nothing, you know,
Speaker 7: it was like a rags to riches and then rags
Speaker 7: again after the war, lost everything. And so for me,
Speaker 7: it was always a big motivation to be like, I'm
Speaker 7: going to get this back for him, you know, even
Speaker 7: though he's no longer with us, I just wanted to
Speaker 7: get it back with him, put it back in the family.
Speaker 7: It's very symbolic and that's why I got into it.
Speaker 7: And I also like, you know, you know, I don't
Speaker 7: like super fancy, super you know out there watches. I
Speaker 7: do like them, you know, stripped down and I like
Speaker 7: the Stanley Steel watches more than anything else.
Speaker 6: I think we'll come back to that because you also
Speaker 6: affected my life. The other day, I'm working around the
Speaker 6: grocery store.
Speaker 1: Child. Yeah, chocolate Hummers is fucked up, man, I think
Speaker 1: it was pineapple hummed pine How the funk do you say?
Speaker 1: Are you joking? No, I'm I don't think that exists.
Speaker 1: Is that really that? Seriously? But it was? It was
Speaker 1: a chocolate humas exists. I saw it.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: First of all, I never literally means chick peas. Hummos
Speaker 1: is basically when they play with everything. They played. Well,
Speaker 1: I know from you that that's that's bro motherfucking offence.
Speaker 1: It's a criminal offense. I've not seen the specially the
Speaker 1: way he was selling it. I can't do this.
Speaker 7: Non tula already exists. I know that's hazel up, but
Speaker 7: that already exists. Like, stop trying to make some and
Speaker 7: I heard it's delicious, but I'm not going to try that, right,
Speaker 7: I'm never never heard story.
Speaker 1: Okay, describe a good place and play them, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: describe it every day.
Speaker 7: This guys get on tour and see straight. He's like
Speaker 7: he wakes up everybody just for reading today, having them
Speaker 7: almost masrilling one hundred percent. Look, chickpeas, you know to me,
Speaker 7: I mean, excuse me, humbost is five ingredients, Okay, it's
Speaker 7: four sometimes five. The simpler the better no oil, but
Speaker 7: relax some people and it turns it gray and weird.
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't, I don't. No, no, it is.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: You drizzle it on top, drizzle.
Speaker 7: Follow it once you get a fucking droppers the thing perfect.
Speaker 7: If you have the right olive oil. It brings all
Speaker 7: the flavors out. Okay, it's very important, guys, listen around.
Speaker 7: I'm not walking about all right, all right, it's chick peas.
Speaker 7: Chick chickpeas. Very important. Obviously. You can't make humbost with
Speaker 7: a chickpea and salt. Okayiny tiny paste just testing me.
Speaker 7: See it's into a paste and uh in lemon juice,
Speaker 7: lots of lemon juice. So you put that all together
Speaker 7: and you get the perfect texture. It's gotta be smooth,
Speaker 7: not graining all that bullshit. No, no, no, no, you
Speaker 7: get it perfectly. Some people like to put garlic in it.
Speaker 7: Some people like to put cumen in it for the
Speaker 7: gas because you know, yeah, it's a little bit of
Speaker 7: human just to take the gas out.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of all this. Now, just deal
Speaker 1: with what are you talking about, broummoss right now? I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 7: It's very you got to get the right texture and
Speaker 7: put it in a bowl. You don't put it on
Speaker 7: a plate. Knows how to dip on a plate all
Speaker 7: it almost goes over the size. And shit, you need
Speaker 7: a bowl to help with the dipping situation.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 7: Now, you put the put the aulmost together and you
Speaker 7: save some of those chick peas to put them on
Speaker 7: top of the texture.
Speaker 1: Okay, very important.
Speaker 7: And then you get some fresh sweeze lemon juice and
Speaker 7: you put it around there, and I like to just
Speaker 7: pour a bunch of olive oil, like real thick, green, unfiltered,
Speaker 7: gorgeous olive boy, just pouring in there, and you get
Speaker 7: some nice steamy bread. You fold like when you rip
Speaker 7: off a piece, you gott to fold it like a
Speaker 7: little cone. So when you dip it through, the cone
Speaker 7: is very important because when you dip through, you got
Speaker 7: to get the multiple layers and texts. You get the humbos,
Speaker 7: all right, and then you get the actual chick chick
Speaker 7: pieces in there for the texture. And then you get
Speaker 7: some lemon juice and alive oil in there, and you

Speaker 1: looking for scrolls and ship. That's fake.
Speaker 7: He's all digging in the sand. Maybe I find that
Speaker 7: the street getting the car.
Speaker 2: Street went on the restaurant. It was like neighborhood, local job.
Speaker 2: But it's like famous. I said, well done. I need
Speaker 2: everything well done, well done. He's like, yeah, I said

Speaker 7: ship anyway, you know, we don't do all that. You know,
Speaker 7: mixed grill. You're not gonna get something. It was pink, individial.
Speaker 7: It's seasoned like crazy. It is grilled and it's gonna
Speaker 7: be well done.
Speaker 1: On another question for you, I'm sorry, there's some fool ship.
Speaker 7: No, go ahead, cherry rice, cherry rice you ever, No,
Speaker 7: I haven't had cherry rice. But let me tell you
Speaker 7: something about fruit inside of rice. Stop doing that ship. Okay,
Speaker 7: there's nothing worse than finding cherry raisins in your rice,
Speaker 7: Like that same amount raisins and rice is fucking absurd,
Speaker 7: bro stop it. We were just a Morocco and I
Speaker 7: love Morocco. Moroccans are amazing, incredible, But we had one tajen.
Speaker 7: It was like the lamb was coated in raisins. I'm like,
Speaker 7: what am I eating right now? What am I eating
Speaker 7: right now? What's happening?
Speaker 1: And who made this decision to put an insane about
Speaker 1: raisins on top of the lamb? Just ruined the lam Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: but thank god we recovered. Well, we find a great spot.
Speaker 2: It's cherry race from Yeah.
Speaker 1: Please, who speaks farsie purjecse that make cherry race and
Speaker 1: cherry race? Somebody check this.
Speaker 7: I've never had I've never I know a lot of
Speaker 7: Ali's my son, that's what you know they make. They
Speaker 7: don't make cherry rice. I gotta look this up.
Speaker 1: If somebody's got check this situation. Yeah, you might want
Speaker 1: to add that there's no motherfucking cherry race, you know
Speaker 1: with this rices visus. And that's another thing you said,
Speaker 1: you say. Another thing I really don't like is that
Speaker 1: this thing has been happening in the air world is
Speaker 1: that they garnished everything with pomegranate. Like, stop doing that too, bro,
Speaker 1: nobody wants to have this with poma.
Speaker 7: Like stop all this rising. All of sudden you get
Speaker 7: a pop pomegranate. It's nothing cool. Yeah, it looks good,
Speaker 7: but it doesn't taste well. It doesn't taste well.
Speaker 1: All right. So the other thing I heard you say is.
Speaker 6: Another thing that heard you say is you said that
Speaker 6: everybody's eating ass, but nobody's watching the ass.
Speaker 1: How do you know that? What you.
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this amber forgot Hey man, this in
Speaker 1: case you know that's the name of a cologne, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: In my mind, got.
Speaker 5: Cool camera old boys question just come out, so spraying
Speaker 5: moai and you gotta have like girls like with with
Speaker 5: the with the with their thing on and as soon
Speaker 5: as they spray them, it comes off.
Speaker 1: That's what this man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a big problem with the fact that
Speaker 7: there's no bidets in America, Like, butdets are not the
Speaker 7: standard of America. Like it's crazy to me that just cleaning,
Speaker 7: just just wiping your ass after going to the bathroom
Speaker 7: is sufficient enough.
Speaker 1: It's just absolute insanity. Like if you got ship on
Speaker 1: your shoe.
Speaker 7: You would run immediately and wash it off, but on
Speaker 7: your person, you're like, oop, that's good enough. It is
Speaker 7: crazy to me. My cousin was visiting seas and I
Speaker 7: was picking him up. He wanted this day and this
Speaker 7: is a real nice hotel Houston. So I picked him
Speaker 7: up and he had this really pissed off looking on
Speaker 7: his face. I was like, what's wrong?
Speaker 10: He goes no bday five start, no bday. Time I
Speaker 10: go to the bus from I have to take a shower,
Speaker 10: I'm taking five shower.
Speaker 1: I was like, shot, how many ships are you taking?
Speaker 1: He was like five star? Fuck you one star. And
Speaker 1: that's how I judge hotels if they have a bid
Speaker 1: day or not, if you don't have a biddat just
Speaker 1: rolling my whole stead. It's crazy to me that there's
Speaker 1: no like that's not like the normal practice.
Speaker 2: The cheap hotels. When we was in the mills hab it.
Speaker 1: Everybody has it.
Speaker 6: But how about the digital toilets where they like they
Speaker 6: wipe you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no they don't wipe you. But I don't
Speaker 1: know what toiles you you you gottle Japanese arm coming up,
Speaker 1: cre toilet. I've been bragging about. It's a Japanese toilet fire.
Speaker 7: Yeah, is fires like Japan went to the Middle East
Speaker 7: and we can make this so much a bit of
Speaker 7: creates a robot to create yourhold.
Speaker 1: I'm not really a fan of those.
Speaker 7: I like the the handheld and you know where you're
Speaker 7: spraying at once. This might be dem my, butfuck it.
Speaker 7: But whenever you turn these things on, you got like
Speaker 7: you know, you got wign Just make sure you get
Speaker 7: the area. I'm not really fond of that. You're sitting
Speaker 7: there like, I'm gonna tell you how it happened to me. Pause,
Speaker 7: I got dunked it.
Speaker 2: You gotta.
Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame. I was in there rolling up.
Speaker 6: You know, because I don't I don't smoke actually in
Speaker 6: the hotel, but I would roll up in the hotel.
Speaker 6: So I'm in there rolling up. I dropped the bag.
Speaker 6: I go like this and I hit the joint. I
Speaker 6: never used it. I just used to heated toilets. I
Speaker 6: like that, and I like the floor getting heated. I
Speaker 6: like it.
Speaker 1: But then I hit the dawn and the joint. I
Speaker 1: was like gig against.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the worst feller for me. The first time I
Speaker 7: did that, I didn't know there was a stop button.
Speaker 7: So I was sitting there like, how old is this good?
Speaker 7: I was like, you gotta push stole.
Speaker 1: An idiot. I thought they learned how we know.
Speaker 7: How long it takes to clean as tim Yeah, you
Speaker 7: know nothing like that whatsoever, But that is how I
Speaker 7: judge things for sure. If the hotel does not have
Speaker 7: a day, I'm like, this is the fucking worst.
Speaker 6: It was my whole day. I got a bedet in
Speaker 6: my crib good. I'm not sure if I've ever used it.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Did you know that you're about
Speaker 1: to see the crack of your ass? Right? The friend ship?
Speaker 1: What do you mean watership?
Speaker 7: You mean the separate yes, okay, so the separate one.
Speaker 7: I'm not really a fan of that either. Okay, you
Speaker 7: gotta get up.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 7: You talking about that and I'm talking about little hand
Speaker 7: and it's like a little handheld spread.
Speaker 11: I never bathroom had.
Speaker 1: Shower, yea, but sash shower. You got a ash shower,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I was in the
Speaker 1: middle of yeah, I'll you're looking crazy at this guy.
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, I'm byself.
Speaker 6: I'm saying, like, you know how many places was drinking
Speaker 6: from store and did not know that that that's what
Speaker 6: that's what you Yeah, I know that's exactly right, but
Speaker 6: you gotta be careful of that.
Speaker 7: And the middle used to be hot at fun outside
Speaker 7: and if you push the wrong one I had it,
Speaker 7: were scolded my asshof pushed the high one was.
Speaker 1: Fun. It was not fun.
Speaker 7: But I do remember that because I always remember traumatic
Speaker 7: memories and that was a very traumatic movement for me.
Speaker 1: And this segment was sponsored by but to be I
Speaker 1: really needed to be. I'm so down. I would be
Speaker 1: a sponsor for the days all day we get for that, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now we're talking about a completely different day from washing as.
Speaker 1: This is very different.
Speaker 12: You got.
Speaker 1: No got the way quick time? We got that on
Speaker 1: how you doing or the slow time?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I always look terrible on podcast.
Speaker 6: No no, no no, But we just want you to
Speaker 6: know more what you have done for comedy.
Speaker 1: Episode comedy, what you have done.
Speaker 6: You know, you know, for the days, for the days,
Speaker 6: the real issues and you know making it, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean, making us all laugh throughout this time
Speaker 6: because you know, the world is a better place man
Speaker 6: when you're out there. So we want to give you
Speaker 6: face to face man, Snoop Dogg said, it's better than
Speaker 6: the Grammy because it comes from the people.
Speaker 1: That's one hundred pep. You know, That's how I feel.
Speaker 7: That's a I got to be honest with you, This
Speaker 7: is one hundred percent how I feel, you know, because
Speaker 7: I did feel like you know, the show I put
Speaker 7: my heart and souling in season two specifically and first
Speaker 7: season two of course, but like season two with all
Speaker 7: the stakes that were on it, and just like you know,
Speaker 7: you always want you should to be recognized, and you
Speaker 7: think it's crazy for it not to be and to
Speaker 7: win so many awards the first un still got plenty
Speaker 7: of time for the second season, but you know, seeing
Speaker 7: the crowds and seeing the people, but it's been the
Speaker 7: best prize that you could ever win, the hearts of
Speaker 7: the people, and it's just like I can't even describe it.
Speaker 1: I mean sight for seeing it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I tell you, I'll say something, but I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Something.
Speaker 6: For years, right, you know it, like twenty five years.
Speaker 6: I had a great I have a great fan base. Right,
Speaker 6: people will come up to me and people were like
Speaker 6: they think they know me, right, you know, they grew
Speaker 6: with you so long they kind of kind of do.
Speaker 1: At least I didn't know the professional version that you presented.
Speaker 6: You said, yeah, and there was a data that I
Speaker 6: was with you gonna land though, And I was like, Yo,
Speaker 6: this is probably the first time I've ever done this,
Speaker 6: Like I was acting like I knew you my whole
Speaker 6: life because I watched you stuff so much and I
Speaker 6: identify with you so much. But here's a question that
Speaker 6: I want to ask, right when I see you act,
Speaker 6: But I see you act, it's a certain passion that
Speaker 6: comes with that. But when I see you on stage,
Speaker 6: it's a certain security and a certain type of like uhh,
Speaker 6: like self provis a certain type of like the longness,
Speaker 6: like like you're so comfortable on stage. Am I wrong
Speaker 6: for saying that you like the stage more than you
Speaker 6: like acting acting?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I definitely enjoy the live performance of it all
Speaker 7: very much. I'd like the unpredictability of it, how spontaneous
Speaker 7: it can be at times. I definitely, I definitely appreciate
Speaker 7: that very very much. In the same vein like it's
Speaker 7: not necessarily just the acting is creating something from scratch
Speaker 7: and writing. I do love leading a team and directing
Speaker 7: and having all these different artists around you. And I
Speaker 7: really love, like molding a story together and putting it
Speaker 7: together and telling that story. So I think I'm really
Speaker 7: really great at it. So I really enjoy being in
Speaker 7: that bag a lot. Stand up to me is like
Speaker 7: always home base. It's always going home. I'm always gonna
Speaker 7: always want that, always need that I can't. Like, I
Speaker 7: really feel like it's what's gotten me through a lot
Speaker 7: of these hard times in my life is stand up.
Speaker 7: And so acting itself is tapping into something that I've
Speaker 7: never done before, which is so interesting, Like the emotionality
Speaker 7: on camera. That shit is crazy to me, Like like
Speaker 7: the first time I broke down on camera where I
Speaker 7: was recreating a particular scene of my life and being
Speaker 7: that vulnerable is also something really really fulfilling in that
Speaker 7: and ties some really great nots that were in my heart,
Speaker 7: you know, Like, so I'm very grateful for that.
Speaker 1: So they're very different. They're very different.
Speaker 7: But I love filmmaking. I love making television. I love
Speaker 7: making movies as well, So it's just a it's a
Speaker 7: different extended arm of you know what I feel like
Speaker 7: I can do well, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's just like comedians make some of the best
Speaker 1: dramatic actors. Sometimes sometimes I didn't even know. Honestly, you
Speaker 1: don't know you could do it until you do it.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things like you're in there.
Speaker 7: And the first time I broke down when I was
Speaker 7: of my favorite scenes and when I'm in the confessional
Speaker 7: in season one and uh and it was the priest
Speaker 7: was played by Bumbe, shout out Bumbe, and I didn't
Speaker 7: realize I was gonna break down. I was gonna go
Speaker 7: more in a comedic route, and of course there was,
Speaker 7: you know, some emotion tapped into it. But when it
Speaker 7: really all hit me all at once, and I really
Speaker 7: started thinking about my father and what he's done and
Speaker 7: what he went through. And I never really I realized
Speaker 7: very quickly that I never sat there and thought about it,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, Like you you like that
Speaker 7: not just passing away, it's the just really visualizing what
Speaker 7: he must have gone through in those moments and and
Speaker 7: just kind of tracking that while you're saying the words.
Speaker 7: And then I started seeing him like vulnerable and struggling
Speaker 7: and having to start over again and losing everything, like
Speaker 7: and it just fucking hit me, man, It just hit me,
Speaker 7: like it just like it's one of my favorite things.
Speaker 7: And I put the I put a track right after that.
Speaker 7: It's very very near to my heart. Man, I just
Speaker 7: absolutely loved it. It's uh, lost in the jungle with us?
Speaker 7: What is it with man, I'm losing it right now.
Speaker 7: I'm stinking with my father. Uh Jay Electronica. It was
Speaker 7: on the song he had a song. It was j
Speaker 7: Electronica from from a track he did with uh with Uh,
Speaker 7: my god, I hate that. I I'm up terrible at
Speaker 7: these things, but I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to actually thank you so much. I was
Speaker 1: hoping you. It seemed like that a one taker. If
Speaker 1: you get that emotional joint, joint, your own joint, you
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. This is fine, okay, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 7: I took a couple of puffs and I remember, it's
Speaker 7: how great. Uh the track is how great? And the
Speaker 7: and the verses from Jay Electronica, and it's like lost
Speaker 7: in the jungle. Uh no, no mer cat, no on
Speaker 7: the tide of my day. But to night I fight
Speaker 7: my tears back.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: It's just that track by thinking about his father and
Speaker 7: being lost there without anybody, and it just was one
Speaker 7: of my favorite cuts that put in the show. Actually,
Speaker 7: but yeah, So was it a one taker that one
Speaker 7: the one I used, Yeah, it was a one taper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so it was like, remember it's been
Speaker 1: so long, right, but that one that the the clip
Speaker 1: that I use, I know is that is that is
Speaker 1: one from the first like very honest, unfiltered, and people
Speaker 1: were like, man, great acting. I was like, that was
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 6: So let me ask you all question because every time
Speaker 6: a comedian comes to town, the usually hit us. Well,
Speaker 6: well we shout to them and then we'll go see
Speaker 6: where they show is at. We looking and y'all don't
Speaker 6: have shows. Yeah, we came here to visit you. We
Speaker 6: did a show that.
Speaker 1: I finished the tour.
Speaker 7: We just finished the tour both side, and I went
Speaker 7: on the road everywhere, like it was so fun. We
Speaker 7: did so many shows in the States, and we got
Speaker 7: to Australia. We're sitting down to dinner and Sipe goes,
Speaker 7: you know, this is the first time we've had dinner
Speaker 7: in four months touring.
Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, I'm strolling with him off and
Speaker 2: on what seven eight years? I've known him for at
Speaker 2: least ten years. Always great shows, always great fans. We
Speaker 2: did a lot of weekends and comedy clubs. We did
Speaker 2: one nighters the last two years. This guy blew up
Speaker 2: to a superstar. He's famous everywhere. Everywhere he got a
Speaker 2: day brings with him. But like now he's like famous,
Speaker 2: Like it's weird because he's just my friend mal ammer,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like he blessed me, like
Speaker 2: let me open up when I don't even think my
Speaker 2: voice is bringing him up special And now he's like
Speaker 2: a superstar where like people are fighting to get to
Speaker 2: the stage after a show to take pictures with him
Speaker 2: and coming out like rushing the tour bus and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's fucking crazy. God damn nose for that.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Let's let's make the noise for more security.
Speaker 6: And this is going to be a stock question, but
Speaker 6: this is gonna be it's gonna be a ill question
Speaker 6: right me throughout the times.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been doing this twenty five years.
Speaker 6: Right, so I can go to my show, like I
Speaker 6: go downstairs, like I look at the crowd and I
Speaker 6: can know that I'm tonight, I'm a perfoman running the sky.
Speaker 1: Record, I'm aform with my dad Yankee record.
Speaker 6: Just wh I'm looking at the crowd like I say, yo, listen,
Speaker 6: this is a more of a Latino based show. So
Speaker 6: I go to my DJ and I'm like every other record,
Speaker 6: let's scratch to a reggae throne record.
Speaker 1: But then I also go to a crowd and I
Speaker 1: can be like worry for all night. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: component over cuts, bloody money.
Speaker 4: Like that.
Speaker 1: But then I got another crowd where I gotta on
Speaker 1: a dresser, home boy, I can't party, but I could
Speaker 1: kind of assess that from just looking at the crowd.
Speaker 6: Sometimes I'm wrong, at least ninety five percent of the
Speaker 6: times I'm right, and the other times which rockets writing
Speaker 6: my DJ big and month. Is that something that you
Speaker 6: have to do because you have a diverse audience. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You go out there seem like all sit my pal
Speaker 1: seating niggas in the building. Yeah, yeah, I mean sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you say that. All my friends
Speaker 1: say all the time, I'm playing friends. That's all they
Speaker 1: said coming in the building.
Speaker 7: But I mean, yeah, I mean site first of all,
Speaker 7: is like one of one. Let me tell you something
Speaker 7: like PRAI to go from music into stand up and
Speaker 7: then what he's done to blend things on stage.
Speaker 1: I've never seen before like Jenuely. That's why I was like, Bro,
Speaker 1: I'm Torri up in the Middle East. You have to come.
Speaker 7: And the growth that I've had in the last two
Speaker 7: years has been so significant. I need this like element
Speaker 7: in the show to just and I want you to
Speaker 7: work and do your things. I genuinely like love Sife,
Speaker 7: but seeing him, seeing him, see him do his thing
Speaker 7: on stage, I'm like, Bro, he's fucking one on one
Speaker 7: and he does this like mixture of songs and cultures
Speaker 7: and everything on stage to really identify what the demographics
Speaker 7: in the room are. So one day it would be
Speaker 7: like ninety Arabs right from all walks of life, and
Speaker 7: the next day it's just like in Spinning Europe, it's
Speaker 7: like all white people or or you know, South Asia
Speaker 7: or Southeast Asia. Like Bro, it's just like changes from
Speaker 7: one day to the other. Now stand up in particular,
Speaker 7: I don't have like, yo, I'm gonna take out this track.
Speaker 7: Is I'm gonna take out this track for that. It's
Speaker 7: not really like that. But what you can do is is, oh,
Speaker 7: I have this joke here that ties into this and
Speaker 7: they'd love this a lot, So I'm gonna play into
Speaker 7: that more. But I've always written very universal and so
Speaker 7: it can go up anywhere. Like if I'm doing a
Speaker 7: corporate and I gotta put on the suit and stuff,
Speaker 7: I can be squeaky clean, like my mentor always said,
Speaker 7: like you could always be dirty, learn how to be clean.
Speaker 7: If you could be clean, you can work anywhere. And
Speaker 7: that's the and be very universal. So the stories are
Speaker 7: transcend everywhere. Now there's certain places you're like, I thought
Speaker 7: I was going to hit more here than it hit
Speaker 7: there more. You know, like you'll have that like postgame
Speaker 7: analysis after the show. But that's it because we had
Speaker 7: Dion Cole here right. That's in theaters, though, let me clarify,
Speaker 7: in theaters it's like that. You know, in the clubs,
Speaker 7: you might not do it set at all. Like it's
Speaker 7: very different. Like people come out to the more internet,
Speaker 7: they want to see the show. They got to give
Speaker 7: them a show. It's a very different practice. So once
Speaker 7: you go into the clubs, people expect you to mess around,
Speaker 7: people who expect you to be spontaneous. People expect you to,
Speaker 7: you know, switch it up a bit depending on where
Speaker 7: you know, what the what the arrangement is that night,
Speaker 7: and who's there.
Speaker 1: So it shifts.
Speaker 7: It's different places, right, and even if you go to
Speaker 7: smaller rooms open mics, it's different too. It requires a
Speaker 7: different skill set. So yeah, so it varies, but yes,
Speaker 7: I guess we do do it so.
Speaker 6: Because we had just had Deon Cole here the other days. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but he said that he went to LA one night
Speaker 6: and he's about to perform and he had he had
Speaker 6: a joke, but it was a gay joke and there's
Speaker 6: a bunch.
Speaker 1: Of gay people there. Okay, so he didn't do the joke.
Speaker 6: Right, And it made me interested because has that ever
Speaker 6: happened to you guys?
Speaker 1: Like where you like, you know, maybe you got.
Speaker 6: A a Puerto Rican joke and there's too many Puerto
Speaker 6: Ricans in the Proud with navs. It just doesn't seem proper.
Speaker 6: And do you do you take it away from that?
Speaker 6: Do you fall into that? I mean it sounds like you.
Speaker 7: I like, if I'm writing a joke about it, it's
Speaker 7: not offensives where I can do it, you know, I
Speaker 7: think it'll be fine. It's all it's all in the delivery.
Speaker 7: It's always in the delivery and how you put it together.
Speaker 7: But I don't ever look at the crowd like Oh,
Speaker 7: they're gonna hate this joke. I'm like, oh, let's see
Speaker 7: what happens. It's more like, let's see what happens. But
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be fine. And I've had
Speaker 7: situations where I'm like, oh, I'm, you know, tell a
Speaker 7: joke about house in a wheelchair in the eighth grade
Speaker 7: and I look over and I see like three, he's
Speaker 7: looking at me like.
Speaker 1: Like coming down.
Speaker 2: Really no.
Speaker 7: But you're also projecting, you know, you start being feeling
Speaker 7: self conscious and you're like, oh shit, maybe he doesn't
Speaker 7: want me to talk about Maybe he does. Maybe he's
Speaker 7: happy I'm talking about this all like silly inner dialogue.
Speaker 7: In the end, you do, you do what you've written,
Speaker 7: and you do the best that you can, and standing up,
Speaker 7: you're always fixing it.
Speaker 1: You're always working it out.
Speaker 6: I remember speaking to you. You gave me this amazing story.
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm allowed to use this, but
Speaker 6: I'm gonna bring it up. And if we got to

Speaker 7: They're coming in and everybody's like looking over. One of
Speaker 7: the kids sits down in the middle of my joke
Speaker 7: in the whole cafeteria while everybody's in his like five
Speaker 7: hundred students there, okay, and they're all like eighteen nineteen
Speaker 7: years old Max. All of a sudden, he sits down

Speaker 7: started saying, I was like, oh, who invited this guy?
Speaker 7: Doesn't get a laugh. I was like, Oh, this is
Speaker 7: gonna be a situation. Everybody's too immature.
Speaker 1: To deal with it, right, so they're not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to react it or not.
Speaker 7: This is funny and not funny. This and that this
Speaker 7: goes on for forty five minutes. Hey, well, every time
Speaker 7: I'm talking, he goes boo. I'm dying for forty five
Speaker 7: fucking straight minutes on this little as stage in the
Speaker 7: middle of Noway in Pennsylvania, in a fucking lunch room,
Speaker 7: while everybody's awkwardly eating their chicken strips and fresh fries,
Speaker 7: while I'm getting heckled by a special.
Speaker 1: Needs kids for forty five minutes straight.
Speaker 7: I'm assuming it's at least forty five because I did
Speaker 7: fifty two minutes that night, and I know I did
Speaker 7: that day, and I know it was fifty two minutes
Speaker 7: because my agent, my college as called me and said,
Speaker 7: you only did fifty two minutes. You contrying to do sixty.
Speaker 7: I was like, if I had a.
Speaker 1: Problem with time, I've never had a problem time. You
Speaker 1: know what the fuck happened?
Speaker 7: I just died a miserable death for forty five plus
Speaker 7: minutes of just this guy.
Speaker 1: Nobody was clapped, Nobody else was laughing, Nobody stopped it,
Speaker 1: nobody's laughing. I could hear them eating, they were liking.
Speaker 1: At first, hear people choose yeah, yeah, you know you
Speaker 1: have them. At first, I'm doing my thing fuck, I
Speaker 1: know how to do this ship. At that point, I've
Speaker 1: done like a sixty colleges maybe under my belt. You
Speaker 1: kidding this cakewalk.
Speaker 7: I just got to get the guy out of there,
Speaker 7: this mumbling start my ship and I got I'll, I'll
Speaker 7: get him, I'll get him, because it's just like some
Speaker 7: organizer of the schools introducing you don't perform nothing, and
Speaker 7: those kids don't even know comedy shows happening. There's like
Speaker 7: flyers up and nobody's paying attention. So I do it
Speaker 7: and I'm killing and then this kid walks in and
Speaker 7: starts booming. Now I've thought about this and I think
Speaker 7: this is what happened. I think this special needs kid
Speaker 7: knows that nobody takes him seriously, no one really like
Speaker 7: you know ever does, and so he's went there with
Speaker 7: the intention like I'm going to have fun, and his
Speaker 7: fun was I'm going to boom this.
Speaker 1: Standing up community and laugh at me bullying him.
Speaker 7: Because that he's gonna die a miserable death and that's
Speaker 7: going to entertain me. And I can get away with
Speaker 7: it because nobody takes me seriously. So you know what,
Speaker 7: Fuck all, y'all, I think that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Because he knew. I looked at him a couple of times, like,
Speaker 1: I know, you know what the fun you're doing? And
Speaker 1: I was it wasnt the funniest thing for the comedian
Speaker 1: to watch of another comedian is watching them bombs.

Speaker 1: be any reason. It doesn't mean that one better.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick Kevin. I'm gonna pick Kevin.
Speaker 7: But I do love Chris Rocks bigger than Black. I mean,
Speaker 7: I listen to out that CD like a thousand times,
Speaker 7: one of the best. But I like Kevin Hart because
Speaker 7: he's so spontaneous all the time.
Speaker 1: I really like that. Yeah, Marlon way storytelling is beautiful.
Speaker 1: Marlon Wayn's or Damon Wayne and oh oh my god.
Speaker 1: I love both of them, absolutely love both of them.
Speaker 1: I love Marlon, always been very nice to me. I
Speaker 1: love them death thing.

Speaker 1: That's the best way to answer the person.
Speaker 2: YE say that, stand up?
Speaker 1: Come on, I would you don't play that? Also from
Speaker 1: a living color And like, be honest, I think that
Speaker 1: this is like Middle Eastern ship right here. They made
Speaker 1: they made it, not really though, you know how many
Speaker 1: these are not even why you know what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say.
Speaker 6: That's the Colombian god and Dominican guy with they made this,
Speaker 6: all right, But I'm curious because one of them shouted
Speaker 6: me out, and one of.
Speaker 1: Them is my friend. Okay, he's I'm sorry, or Russell Peter,
Speaker 1: not like Eastern comedians for you ready, He's sorry, come on,
Speaker 1: Middle Indian. Yes, both very very different. Both again very
Speaker 1: very different.
Speaker 7: But I do have to give it to Russell because
Speaker 7: he was like the first guy and I think it
Speaker 7: was like two thousand and eight his clip went crazy
Speaker 7: viral and he was doing it globally where on a
Speaker 7: level that on a scale that I think very few
Speaker 7: people have even done today, like they're starting to do
Speaker 7: a lot more now than ever.
Speaker 1: But Russell was like when that ship popped, it was hot.
Speaker 1: It was like as far as stand up.
Speaker 7: Stand up is concerned, it was not to be fun
Speaker 7: with and it was really really dope to see because
Speaker 7: he spent so much time in stand up and he
Speaker 7: was like an outside Hollywood guy but inside out, like
Speaker 7: everybody knew him.
Speaker 1: But He really really took it to a whole nother
Speaker 1: level with that. So that's dope.
Speaker 6: You know what I love about Russell Peters. You know
Speaker 6: he didn't want to Russell shouted you out. No, No,
Speaker 6: he was like, I didn't know what the viewing Pharrell.
Speaker 6: And then he goes to Pharrell because I keep forgetting
Speaker 6: like I made classic records.
Speaker 1: He goes to He goes, how did Normy come up
Speaker 1: with that? He said, how did you want Normy come
Speaker 1: up with?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: What? What?
Speaker 4: If?
Speaker 6: Pharrell goes it was just Normy, He goes, I just
Speaker 6: imagine Normy going what And I'm like, ah, that was dopeople.
Speaker 1: But this is what I love.
Speaker 6: To me, there isn't a lot of all out comedians,
Speaker 6: lot of what.
Speaker 1: Comedians now. Thank you friend of mine who we just
Speaker 1: had on here. Uh we had Jack Thriller on here.
Speaker 6: One time he had Jack Thriller on the on the
Speaker 6: show and we start like like like talking, Jack starts
Speaker 6: getting like gangster. He falls out of being a comedian
Speaker 6: as opposed to me. I had Marlon Wayne's on here.
Speaker 6: Well a Wayne gets out.
Speaker 1: And he just looks at everybody and he connects with everybody.
Speaker 1: He just goes straight into being the comedian.
Speaker 6: When I'm connect with people are like, yeah, it's just
Speaker 6: never lose being a comedian. That's what I love about
Speaker 6: Russell Peters because every time I see him, he finds
Speaker 6: something funny in everything we do, whether it's a fucking lizard.
Speaker 6: And I just love peer comedians who stayed being a comedian.
Speaker 6: Oh god, damn day, Like you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 6: Russell is a great guy.
Speaker 7: Bro, there's just very different, you know, people like as
Speaker 7: these I'm sorry, Like I think the most the thing
Speaker 7: they have the most in common is they.
Speaker 1: Both really love hip hop. Crazy for hip hop? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so much hip hop. Hip seems like more commercial hip hop.
Speaker 6: Like he's like like you see you see as got
Speaker 6: Travis Scott in his his playlist and Russell Peters has
Speaker 6: Big Daddy.
Speaker 1: Can't I think.
Speaker 2: Like hip hop?
Speaker 1: Russell is hip hop? Yeah? Straight up? The fair Did
Speaker 1: you just talk beef? Because I don't want if you're
Speaker 1: going on Twitter, I'm like, I'm not gonna lie. While
Speaker 1: we were talking, That's all I can think about this.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at me like you did you defend us?
Speaker 1: Why weren't you in the hard out here?
Speaker 10: Because it's not as easy it is. I can't believe
Speaker 10: I'll do this while drinking because y'all like.
Speaker 6: They cousins, right, like how Jamaicans and Haitians are with
Speaker 6: the Indians.
Speaker 1: Like it's not.

Speaker 7: don't know how I'm in the trade roots in India.
Speaker 1: The Middle East referring to yeah, which is a.
Speaker 3: No no.
Speaker 1: But I think that sharing that you only get why
Speaker 1: you like that when you asked me that sharing? What
Speaker 1: do you what are you talking about? Where? What show? Mom? Okay,
Speaker 1: this one is good? JB. Smooth or Face on Love

Speaker 1: together like that if you if you notice, then yeah, for.
Speaker 6: Years Larry been saying that he sucked up the sign
Speaker 6: fel finale. So what they did with from he said
Speaker 6: that he feels like you up the finalite. You know,
Speaker 6: the world said that to him. He's always embraced it, like, yo,
Speaker 6: you're right.
Speaker 1: So if you look at the.
Speaker 6: Last episode, Kramer says, excuse me, JB.
Speaker 1: Smooth, who is Leon Black.
Speaker 6: He goes to Larry David and goes, I don't like
Speaker 6: Kramer because Kramer always jumping in and barging in and
Speaker 6: he's staying where he's not welcome.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what Black is doing at the time.
Speaker 6: And then they go they go and he goes, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna watch I'm gonna watch Seinfeld, he said, because I
Speaker 6: heard you fucked up the finale. And then he goes,
Speaker 6: I don't even want your opinion, you.

Speaker 6: Stevie ain't trying to take your girl or nothing like that.
Speaker 2: Wait, ste.
Speaker 1: Chill man, Yeah, listen, by the way, don't get the story.
Speaker 6: No, no, by the way, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 6: I think if I'm walking down the street, Stevie Wonder
Speaker 6: might swingle be.
Speaker 1: We have too many stories.
Speaker 6: About him, like like like on this show and all right,
Speaker 6: first as Theisley Brothers came on here and said they
Speaker 6: saw him crushing the highway.
Speaker 1: Highway busy street. Wait, man, that's the highway busy street.
Speaker 1: First thing I asked is like, how old was Stevie
Speaker 1: Wonder at the time, because you.
Speaker 7: Know, his skills are skills are extremely refined. At that point,
Speaker 7: he's hearing.
Speaker 1: Shack said that he went.
Speaker 6: They lived in the same building and one day Shaq
Speaker 6: got on the elevator. He was on the elevator ready shock,
Speaker 6: and Stevie got on the elevator and said, what's up, decent.
Speaker 7: Shaq has a particular rombo and you know that I
Speaker 7: have snoop FaceTime. Come on, I would FaceTime people if
Speaker 7: I was blind all the time. That is funny because
Speaker 7: you can just FaceTime zone.
Speaker 2: So you like, he've been a superstars whole life. So
Speaker 2: he knows people want to see him when he FaceTime.
Speaker 2: And also he can see he's white.
Speaker 1: Can see he might be legally blind, but maybe it's
Speaker 1: something that yeah, no, absolutely on you bless you Stevie Wonder.
Speaker 7: So so that and then you said about refining material,
Speaker 7: also refining the material. But this is actually greatest Sie
Speaker 7: saw this in real time. Pun intended. I guess Punin intended.
Speaker 7: But I have a whole bit at the end of
Speaker 7: the special. It's more like a poem bit reflection, just
Speaker 7: trying to capture the time, and it's all about time,
Speaker 7: but the whole thing. And I wrote that the day
Speaker 7: before I filmed the special, and it was like four
Speaker 7: pages that was kind of panicked over.
Speaker 1: It not paniced, but it was just a good word.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, like, look, you that's very It's not really
Speaker 7: the way you operate. You tour, you get the hour
Speaker 7: set and then you film it. And in this scenario,
Speaker 7: I felt like something was missing. So I wrote like
Speaker 7: a three to four minute chunk all about time and.
Speaker 11: During the shooting of a special that no one does
Speaker 11: memorize that. Yeah nobody, Yeah, wild Yeah, it was nuts.
Speaker 11: It was really I don't think you understand how that was. Yeah, grandmouth, fantastic,
Speaker 11: Yeah it was great.
Speaker 1: Great. Mike Apps or Chris Tucker neither, I can't pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's drink.
Speaker 7: I love him both exactly. I'msa say neither the rest
Speaker 7: of the way and see what happens.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm not a lot of you if both
Speaker 6: that was you know why it was genius because they
Speaker 6: both played that same role in Legendary Friday.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Chris Tucker, the party would be
Speaker 1: a day Day.
Speaker 6: Or I would say, not Mike Apps a day Day,
Speaker 6: because I don't believe Mike Apps stole that picture as
Speaker 6: Mike Apps. I believe he stole it as dayDay because
Speaker 6: just the same way we were calling Chris Tucker smoky, Yeah,
Speaker 6: we were calling Mike Apps day they.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean it's true, you can't. I mean, he can't
Speaker 7: really pick between the two. But Chris Tucker has like
Speaker 7: such an amazing on screen. So when he came on
Speaker 7: the scene, like he was just he took over everything, right,
Speaker 7: took over everything, And Mike Epps was similarly the same way.
Speaker 7: I really liked that Mike Epps has maintained like his
Speaker 7: stand up and stand up chops. That's why I just
Speaker 7: can't pick between others, or else I would have said
Speaker 7: Chris Tucker.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, you GK or the ghetto boy. Oh you
Speaker 1: know I still live in Houston, you know, you know
Speaker 1: a section away into Colombia. No, no, what do I
Speaker 1: gotta go home?
Speaker 7: And I love and I genuinely like, I think the
Speaker 7: first hip hop track I ever heard in my life
Speaker 7: was my mind's playing tricks on me.
Speaker 1: But they get the boys.
Speaker 2: I feel like that.
Speaker 1: I won't tell you about.
Speaker 2: I was ten.
Speaker 7: My brother had the tape and I put it in
Speaker 7: and I listened to it. I was like I was,
Speaker 7: my mind was completely blown away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bumbe has come out on a few low shows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bump Bee, Like, yeah, I love bum Be Broger.
Speaker 7: Of course, I've had a burger, whether you or not,
Speaker 7: you're going to try the drill burger like you'll be
Speaker 7: just chilling here for a second and behind you like,
Speaker 7: have you had a drill burger?
Speaker 1: Not the way? They are delicious? Delicious. So I even
Speaker 1: eat the vegan one, Yeah, vegan one. I don't be
Speaker 1: so I forget for what holiday he came, but you
Speaker 1: know where he's surrounded by six champagn about this is
Speaker 1: this is Shempauga chipa from the temps Oups. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I gave you a segue from Okay.
Speaker 7: Bosa or George Lopez. George Lopez, No wait, thought you
Speaker 7: said George Carlin. Sorry sorry sorry sorry, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I know what I thought, George Carlin. I thought he's
Speaker 2: about comedian.
Speaker 1: Be that's what that Orge, Because George Lopez said, you
Speaker 1: did that on purpose for you tricked me.
Speaker 2: Yes, there was. One of my.
Speaker 7: Favorite comedians of all time is George Carlin. So that's
Speaker 7: the only thing I thought of. That was like all
Speaker 7: those game their messages talk about about No, don't even
Speaker 7: say that, bro, Why would you say that. He's one
Speaker 7: of the greatest minds, comedic minds.
Speaker 1: Of all time. He wouldn't have justice, he wouldn't have
Speaker 1: like Trump. I don't think he likes either of them
Speaker 1: government yahment. But George Lopez is hating on all the
Speaker 1: lou Young no, no rap.
Speaker 7: One hundred percent of Ralph Barbosa, that's my brother. He
Speaker 7: was in season two of MO. He's also like a
Speaker 7: genuine comedian. Yeah, Ralbosa for one hundred percent of Barbosa,
Speaker 7: that's my guy. Yeah, I love him to death and
Speaker 7: fucking solid work tricking me Dominicans.
Speaker 1: Keeping one on the younger comedians, like, first of all,
Speaker 1: you should never do that, really fucked up. George always young.
Speaker 7: You know, I started as a seventeen year old and
Speaker 7: the exactly say I don't know exactly the full he
Speaker 7: was shitting.
Speaker 2: On on on he was he was on the podcast
Speaker 2: with Steve Trevino, Trevino and and Steve Trevino was talking
Speaker 2: about the young comics coming up in the game that
Speaker 2: he feels like the comedian game.
Speaker 1: Name of these comics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said that He's like, for example, Ralph Barbosa,
Speaker 2: Oh wow. And he was saying how the comedy game
Speaker 2: is thriving right now, and was like, who's that. I
Speaker 2: don't know him? Damn okay, you know so that Steve did.
Speaker 2: Steve trying to start explaining from while he's a young
Speaker 2: Mexican from Dallas, he's doing this, this and that, And
Speaker 2: George was basically saying like, nah, I don't talk to
Speaker 2: people like that. Don't put them on you. You're giving
Speaker 2: him the easy way out. Yeah, wow, fuck you. What
Speaker 2: this is at a time when I'm saying that real
Speaker 2: fuck you. This is a time when Ralph was blowing
Speaker 2: up on YouTube, and I mean Ralph bro Ra. I
Speaker 2: love Ralph to death.
Speaker 4: He hit me.
Speaker 2: I was doing the show in Houston, great guy before
Speaker 2: he was anything, and I'm nobody. He hit me. He's like, hey,
Speaker 2: can I come open for you, and I always try
Speaker 2: to put I.
Speaker 1: Want to get back to that because I heard you
Speaker 1: say that a couple of times. Comedian, comedian. It's not normal.
Speaker 1: It's not normal, but it's like a show of respect
Speaker 1: for sure, especially if you're like a seasoned guy and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. You look up. He's so humble.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 7: Ralph first of all, works his ass off, he's doing
Speaker 7: it right. He's in the clubs. Of course, he's funny,
Speaker 7: and he's just The more important part is that that
Speaker 7: he's really really working on his craft and respects the crafts.
Speaker 1: He knows the craft.
Speaker 7: For for George Lopez to say nobody knows that motherfucker
Speaker 7: or whatever it is, first of all, it's so is
Speaker 7: someone who started as a kid in the game. It
Speaker 7: is very, very disheartening to hear that kind of discouragement
Speaker 7: because you could throw somebody off the tracks completely, or
Speaker 7: you can get strong, but now you're taking away the spirit.
Speaker 7: You're taking away the spirit or somebody like, why you
Speaker 7: doing this? You know, especially you don't even know Ralphie
Speaker 7: looks up to you, loves you and all this stuff,
Speaker 7: and guess what, motherfucker, You're gonna retire at some point,
Speaker 7: you're gonna stop doing it. It's gonna fizzle out, and
Speaker 7: all you're gonna have is these young guys that look
Speaker 7: up to you and say, come and say your name,
Speaker 7: and it's gonna keep you WIY.
Speaker 1: So you're doing that, that's straight up Hayden, And.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna just be honest with you. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 6: know in the content it was asked. It doesn't matter
Speaker 6: the context was acting because because.
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't matter, the context is not, you're correct, correct.
Speaker 1: And first of all, it's not to throw shade on
Speaker 1: George Lopez.
Speaker 7: George Lopez is extremely accomplished, did it the right way,
Speaker 7: like stand up wise, like putting in the time, putting
Speaker 7: in the effort, worked his way up, has his moment.
Speaker 7: And also you can't say by George Lopez without mentioning
Speaker 7: Paul Rodriguez. Like Paul Rodriguez, he's the one to have
Speaker 7: the first sitcom as far as I remember, as someone
Speaker 7: of his background, and he's the one who opened those doors.
Speaker 7: Like if that was bigger than it was, you know,
Speaker 7: he anticipated he could have they might not have been
Speaker 7: in George Lopez.
Speaker 1: Or just say what not exists without Paul?
Speaker 6: What I'm saying is the older you get, the less
Speaker 6: of troll senses you have, right, meaning they don't they
Speaker 6: like I guess I could tell to someone's troll to
Speaker 6: meet the minute you open your mouth, I'm like, oh okay,
Speaker 6: I know to play this game. But sometimes the older
Speaker 6: you get, you don't those senses don't go off, those
Speaker 6: spidy senses.
Speaker 1: So they could have been asked like hey like it
Speaker 1: could have been acting like.
Speaker 6: In a disrepectful way, like hey man, you know these
Speaker 6: are young comedians.
Speaker 1: They're coming to they're coming for your spot, and then he.
Speaker 6: Could just want to say I want to give him
Speaker 6: a benefit of a doubt.
Speaker 1: Because I don't think.
Speaker 6: I don't think it's just a natural thing for an
Speaker 6: elder comedian to look down on this person.
Speaker 1: They do that, they don't you got as far as
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 7: Like there's some comedians that don't even like, you know,
Speaker 7: people of their background touring with them, you know that happens.
Speaker 1: And I think that these had this more stories like
Speaker 1: you guys, you get that that world.
Speaker 2: That world is a started country. That world is a
Speaker 2: little different because it's comedy, but it's also Mexican. And
Speaker 2: they got their own rules, They got their own system.
Speaker 2: So it was like yeah, so like that that that
Speaker 2: whole beef with Ralph and George blew up comedy wise,
Speaker 2: like we were like, oh, you shouldn't do that. He's
Speaker 2: a young good comedy. But in the Mexican world, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's it's even even Ralph was telling me there's a
Speaker 2: difference between Texas, Mexicans and California, and he was like
Speaker 2: and a lot of people was like, oh you you
Speaker 2: talking bad about young Mexicans. You don't put no Mexicans
Speaker 2: on all the Mexicans on being So that's all that.
Speaker 2: That beef went even deeper than just comedy.
Speaker 7: I take on a very different approach from this young
Speaker 7: Arab guys because I had no I didn't have anybody.
Speaker 7: I didn't have anybody by myself as far as like
Speaker 7: from there was no no Arab stand up Arabs zero.
Speaker 7: I started stand up in nineteen ninety five. It's my
Speaker 7: first time was stand up. I started, I started touring.
Speaker 1: It's wrestling, and it is, it is and it is,
Speaker 1: but it isn't but it isn't, you know. But I
Speaker 1: didn't have anything like that at all. I have anything
Speaker 1: like that at all. I was creating old the old road,
Speaker 1: her own path.
Speaker 7: And actually like this is the one thing that like
Speaker 7: the comedians would hate on when I was first starting.
Speaker 7: It's like, oh, he's just talking about because it's so hacky.
Speaker 7: He's talking about his Arab family and everything. Bro, nobody
Speaker 7: had I've never seen this on stage before. This is
Speaker 7: not even touched upon. You can never this is.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't doing only that, yes, but someone so
Speaker 1: what that's the point. It's all original material that's based
Speaker 1: off of my life and stand up is that you know.
Speaker 1: So that's like And so that being said, like I
Speaker 1: try to look out for guys that I know.
Speaker 7: They're doing well that are from my background that are
Speaker 7: you know, ask me questions my phones always.
Speaker 1: Yeah, figure out you know ready yeah so not the
Speaker 1: iron sheet, not the iron sheet, but yes, the iron
Speaker 1: sheet r ip.
Speaker 7: But no, I think it's really really important to that
Speaker 7: And that's what like I want to I want to
Speaker 7: give them the game. I want to give this exactly
Speaker 7: how you do it? You know, And whoever you know
Speaker 7: calls me And there's a young commun out of Toronto
Speaker 7: that open up for me that I talked to him,
Speaker 7: you know, whenever he needs it, like he hits me
Speaker 7: up there, guys that tour together, and just I think
Speaker 7: it's important to share information, not just with that, even
Speaker 7: with Siphon and I because Cipher.
Speaker 1: Is you know how many years you be doing stand up?
Speaker 2: I mean now fifteen yeah, fifteen years.
Speaker 7: I mean it's just that point, you know, it's that
Speaker 7: point you go through different growths and you're like, hey,
Speaker 7: what was it like when you were fifteen years and
Speaker 7: this is what you do?
Speaker 1: This is what it is.
Speaker 7: And so my mentorship with went only so far with
Speaker 7: my original teacher and with Dave was he was able
Speaker 7: to teach me about this altitude. You know, it was
Speaker 7: a different altitude to it. It's a different game to it.
Speaker 7: So there's it's like getting your PhD or something, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean.
Speaker 7: That was a good one, though it's all work, work guys.
Speaker 7: Please take away that fuck up. Jim Carrey or Will
Speaker 7: Farrell Wow, Wow, wow, I bro I genuinely love both
Speaker 7: of them very much. And I grew up, you know,
Speaker 7: obviously watching Jim Carrey and that's the guy I will.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't.
Speaker 2: That's a rough one.
Speaker 1: That's a rough one.
Speaker 7: Who cads really going I'm gonna say, I'm gonna fuck.
Speaker 7: I really love both of them very much, but I'm
Speaker 7: gonna give it to Jim Carrey. I'm gonna say Jim Carrey.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say both. I wanted to, but I'm
Speaker 7: gonna say Jim Carrey. You realize because like watching the
Speaker 7: variety of roles that he was able to accomplish and
Speaker 7: to be so the Truman Show and I'm about to
Speaker 7: say the.
Speaker 6: Liar liarons kind of showed us to what our life
Speaker 6: is going to be. Like we're all in the Truman
Speaker 6: Show right now. Yeah, we're trapped in our phones and
Speaker 6: we're all in our own version.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 6: I just love that you've seen that any of Rosy
Speaker 6: which one idiocracy? You never seen that movie, I don't think,
Speaker 6: so go watch that movie. This is exactly what we're
Speaker 6: living like right now. The smart phones made us dumb.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 7: I agree, it's like a slippery slow it's kind of
Speaker 7: I agree, and I don't agree.
Speaker 1: It's how you use it.
Speaker 7: It's always like how you use it, Like AI could
Speaker 7: be exceptional if it's used for good, but we all
Speaker 7: know that it's going to be used for bad.
Speaker 1: They got drones. Now, they got drones that can just
Speaker 1: shoot you. You know, they got drones that can follow you.
Speaker 6: It's dope for people like d OC for use it
Speaker 6: for his voice, people like be See who to use
Speaker 6: it for their voice. But then it's hard, it's horrible
Speaker 6: because those same people that can use that same voice
Speaker 6: can call a bank and tell them, hey, man released
Speaker 6: one hundred grand and it's the same voice, while wing
Speaker 6: Bank believe them.
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a plus. In the mic you're
Speaker 1: talking is like someone who has a lot of money.
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Alight, Thanks Agad. Next one, Chevy Chase
Speaker 1: or Steve Martin.

Speaker 7: It was the first time that I saw a fat
Speaker 7: guy on television that was hilarious. It was him and

Speaker 6: weight and Angela and yeah, she has it all documented.
Speaker 6: And I worked and he was like, yo, man, you know,
Speaker 6: look you're working out.
Speaker 1: And I was like this back then, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 6: And I was like yeah, and he's like yo, And
Speaker 6: we took each other numbers and I started working out
Speaker 6: with them.
Speaker 2: Patree can't say one thing about Patri please. This is
Speaker 2: this is when I started doing comedy and I watched
Speaker 2: you know, all the great Kill all the time, or
Speaker 2: even Specials or def Comedy or whatever. I went to
Speaker 2: go see Patrice live at the club and he was
Speaker 2: kind of bombing and also like he made a lot
Speaker 2: of women upset and a lot of women were leaving.
Speaker 2: But I loved it. And that's when I really learned like, oh,
Speaker 2: every show is its own thing, and if you don't
Speaker 2: like what I'm saying, you could leave. But this is
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. And that's when that was really one
Speaker 2: of the greatest moments for me for stand up. So
Speaker 2: I was learning like, oh, you you gotta be you.
Speaker 2: Like when you first start doing comedy, you kind of
Speaker 2: almost impersonate some of your favorites and you try to
Speaker 2: be like, I want to be energetic, like this guy
Speaker 2: thoughtful like this guy, and everyone tells you one of
Speaker 2: the biggest piece of advices that you gotta find your
Speaker 2: own voice. You gotta find your own voice, and it
Speaker 2: takes time to get that. And I watched I said, oh,
Speaker 2: this is his voice and it showed me. Yeah, show
Speaker 2: me you don't have to be like yeah, bro. And
Speaker 2: he would be like you feel that, you see that.
Speaker 2: You see how them girls are sucking the front out
Speaker 2: of the room. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: and they would get so upset. But I was like,
Speaker 2: he's right.
Speaker 6: I went to a comedy show with him one time
Speaker 6: and the dude says something and then he's with his
Speaker 6: girl and then he looked at it was like I
Speaker 6: could tell you don't suck this nigga.
Speaker 1: I was like, yoh my god. Undefended. Actually he gave
Speaker 1: me the tickets and go see.
Speaker 7: The way he was stand up was described to me
Speaker 7: very early on by my mentors, like, you spend all
Speaker 7: these years on stage to eventually be yourself. Like when
Speaker 7: you first start, you have this like wall in front
Speaker 7: of it. Every time you go up, that repetition is
Speaker 7: like chipping.
Speaker 1: Away at that wall. Eventually there's no wall and you're
Speaker 1: just yourself.
Speaker 7: It takes a long time and some of the some
Speaker 7: of the times the things that you imulate from the
Speaker 7: people you looked up to is just even subconscious, you know,
Speaker 7: it's not even like a conscious thing.
Speaker 1: You're doing it. Those are you've seen behind you do
Speaker 1: it at the highest level. Therefore, it just it's in there.
Speaker 7: Right, Even when I watch my special, I'll just be
Speaker 7: like that little tone sounds like Carl h. This is
Speaker 7: like so and so this is very interesting, like a
Speaker 7: little small all thing. But it's all performative, right, It's
Speaker 7: all like understanding how you say a certain word you
Speaker 7: say and.
Speaker 1: It's not like you think about it. You just do
Speaker 1: it right, you know.
Speaker 7: And there's some people that do think about that need
Speaker 7: to write it out and every single word is is
Speaker 7: what they hang on and they depend on that. And
Speaker 7: I was I never came up like that. But every
Speaker 7: time everything I do is improvised. Everything I write is
Speaker 7: on stage, spontaneous, based off a particular thought and he
Speaker 7: build it out from there. And how you deliver that
Speaker 7: story or those words just it's just you just do them.
Speaker 7: You don't think about it.
Speaker 1: It's real. You got to find that comfort zone. Harry
Speaker 1: Spears or Dessie Banks both.
Speaker 2: Guy, what you said, they're not the same thing. I
Speaker 2: don't know how you're comparing them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we never know how anything. David Allen Greer, Tommy
Speaker 1: Davidson who not out on is crazy.
Speaker 2: That was crazy.
Speaker 1: That was definitely both too.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 7: Tommy Davidson, Like when I first started standing up and
Speaker 7: watching him in the clubs, he was, like I heard,
Speaker 7: Tommy Davison was the illest person. The reason why I
Speaker 7: say William look, the reason why I say both because
Speaker 7: they're also different. You know, like Alan is a very
Speaker 7: like stage guy that came from the stage, Like the
Speaker 7: way the stand up, he was a theatrical guy. That's
Speaker 7: where he came from. Tommy's from the streets. Bro, It's
Speaker 7: like he brought that energy, he brought that like it's
Speaker 7: just like he was so fucking funny. He was shut
Speaker 7: it down all the time. And Houston, whenever he was
Speaker 7: doing he was shut it down. And then see Al
Speaker 7: Greer and how he's with his acting and his performance
Speaker 7: is commedy timing all that. He's extremely special and he's
Speaker 7: just very different. So you can't I can't pick no problem. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you were in a picker down.
Speaker 2: Also, Eddie Murphy was only like, yeah, it's only twenty
Speaker 2: two right when he did like yeah twenty when he
Speaker 2: did Delirious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. I'm gonna say buddy against Eddie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: both both. I think Jurious better Delirious.
Speaker 3: I think so it was which one that I was
Speaker 3: the first regular more like it was it was rough
Speaker 3: around the edges. I think that's what made it better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those comedy.
Speaker 7: I love both of them, Paul Wall or Mike Jones.
Speaker 7: Both by Paul was like my best friend. I love
Speaker 7: this guy's pieces. So you don't got I'm gonna say both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do have? Are I have? Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say both. Respect both. I should have said that. I
Speaker 1: looked up Jones, you still got the same number.
Speaker 2: Herd call it up.
Speaker 1: Let's see, well we went.
Speaker 2: I love Paul Wall.
Speaker 1: He was like that guy is my brother.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: He always checks up on me.
Speaker 7: This guy, bro, I grew up listening to him and
Speaker 7: to know that he's my friend is like my brother,
Speaker 7: Like I really appreciate him.
Speaker 1: He can't.
Speaker 7: He's been really, really a great friend. And that's why
Speaker 7: you still tipping. In the series and the first season.
Speaker 1: Black pictures.
Speaker 6: We say, like, you know when a person is down,
Speaker 6: like invited to the barbecue I have.
Speaker 1: I haven't known a time with Paul Wall was not invited.
Speaker 1: It's barbecue, I'd to please, and he's bringing potato salad.
Speaker 7: And this is what makes like a really uh like
Speaker 7: a great human is that when they're not there, they're missed.
Speaker 7: You know, you're like, it's one thing to always be
Speaker 7: at the barbecue. When he's not there, like, man, where
Speaker 7: is he at?
Speaker 1: This ship? This is fun? But you know, I love y'all.
Speaker 1: But he's like he brings that little energy and I
Speaker 1: see him ice ice fish. Yeah, he ordered a fish.
Speaker 1: He came off. He put the teeth on the grill.
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't believe that she's just talking ship.
Speaker 1: That's not true. For a face. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was his actual girl. He took it off.
Speaker 6: He put off, but he posted on Instagram fish had
Speaker 6: the grill. Yeah, the fish had a grill that he
Speaker 6: was about the of the advice. I don't know what

Speaker 6: He gave me my first hit like immediately and the
Speaker 6: fire emoji. Okay, John Candy Sam Kinison Candison fuck again
Speaker 6: two different ways what he is doing?

Speaker 7: love the fact that Carlin could be like goofy the
Speaker 7: ship the people shop on like you don't even know,
Speaker 7: like how goofy and outrageous he was in his material
Speaker 7: very early on, and he kept that. He kept that weirdness,

Speaker 2: Subject matter.
Speaker 7: He still By the way, by the way, modern man,

Speaker 1: I believe, like in the car like, OK, I got it. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Man's James too.
Speaker 7: He had a different reputation and stand up though, you know,
Speaker 7: like he would take what you didn't the reputation, so
Speaker 7: its stand up is very different. Like when you talk
Speaker 7: about actors, Uh, just improv Oh my god, I can't.
Speaker 2: Take the grill out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you gotta take the grill out, you know, as
Speaker 7: far as someone who's spontaneous and able to take a
Speaker 7: particular subject matter and just run with it, beat it
Speaker 7: to death.
Speaker 3: Bro.

Speaker 1: Your incomprehension of God is your comprehension of God. Don't
Speaker 1: think that this.
Speaker 7: What's happening here at the table, that I am ever
Speaker 7: so absent of where I come from, my roots, where
Speaker 7: I am. The entire time we've been talking, I've been
Speaker 7: praying interns forgiveness and to make sure to absolve me
Speaker 7: for anything like this, because I don't say he said
Speaker 7: if anybody say anything about Beyonce than the fact that
Speaker 7: she comes from Houston. She went for a day and
Speaker 7: everybody's like she's from a Lea, but she's like from
Speaker 7: the third ward and everybody's fighting.

Speaker 1: your what's your words? Your words?
Speaker 6: My words beyond something like it. It was on the
Speaker 6: radio station because listen to all your interviews, maybe when

Speaker 1: I never said that.
Speaker 7: I never said I don't believe you know what you
Speaker 7: said about Yeah, obviously she's just like the queen.

Speaker 1: If you're not at task, thank you, And I got
Speaker 1: these candles in front of you. Bro. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be over what. Okay, that's good. So you're depicting yourself
Speaker 1: as a spiritual creature. I don't understand fast. That's nice?
Speaker 1: Can I get these made from myself?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Have you here in the middle of us, right next
Speaker 1: to God?
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox, Jamie Fox, Jamie Fox.
Speaker 1: I just think that. I mean, I love Cat Williams too,
Speaker 1: but I think I think I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 7: Jamie Fox influenced me a lot when I was a kid,
Speaker 7: like just watching him on television. His abilities bro from
Speaker 7: being a singer to crossing over to from a stand
Speaker 7: up to sketch.
Speaker 1: To acting to ray What the fuck did I believe
Speaker 1: he was? He?
Speaker 7: I think he thought he was right. He was like
Speaker 7: it was really really just a masterclass. I've never seen
Speaker 7: anything like it. I've probably watched that movie at least
Speaker 7: a dozen times, at least.
Speaker 1: Cat Williams neither Yeah, no, no.
Speaker 6: The other day, let me tell you how infliction influential
Speaker 6: Cat Williams was. The other day, I walked in the
Speaker 6: bike lane, and everyone is very mean in the bike lane.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know about that. They're like,
Speaker 1: you don't have to bike lane, you don't belong in
Speaker 1: a bike lane.
Speaker 6: So I got a bike lane. When this guy comes
Speaker 6: and he circles around me and I go, you know what, sir,
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. He goes, don't be sorry. And then in
Speaker 6: my mind, you know what I said?
Speaker 1: Did you know what I said? Look at you?
Speaker 6: Because this is how powerful Cat Williams is. So he said,
Speaker 6: he said, don't be sorry. I said, I'm gonna be careful.
Speaker 1: Don't be sorry. And that's how it was. Like the
Speaker 1: dude said don't be sorry, and I just automatic throw
Speaker 1: the pack.
Speaker 7: I want to keep going on that because Cat now
Speaker 7: literally say Walker is hilario, Like he's just fucking classics right,
Speaker 7: and just hanging out with him, like I remember, uh,

Speaker 2: It was just like.
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, you know, my.
Speaker 7: Genuinely has nothing to do with whatever Seinfeld has said,
Speaker 7: like him saying, you know, somebody uh.
Speaker 1: Catching him off?
Speaker 2: No, No, it's not in seinfeld confus situation. He started showing.
Speaker 7: Everything objectively objectively. I I love uh, Kirby Enthusiasm. I
Speaker 7: think it's the one. I like the fact that it's
Speaker 7: ed you. It's you know, it's more real and unfiltered,
Speaker 7: like you say whatever you want, and it is a
Speaker 7: lot of it is improvised and you can just see yeah,
Speaker 7: curb that's yeah. Now to say, like, you know, whatever
Speaker 7: I feel about side, it doesn't matter. It's still objectively
Speaker 7: as a show. The structure, the characters, I mean, it's
Speaker 7: all about like Kramer, George and Elaine and those are
Speaker 7: like really I.
Speaker 6: Can count the amount of black people, Yeah, somebody.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's why Jamie had very racist all of us kind
Speaker 6: of racist the Pakistan. Yeah, it didn't works.
Speaker 1: Definitely Curb. I'm a Curb guy for sure. I'm here,
Speaker 1: So you are you going with?
Speaker 2: First? I love Seinfeld the show. I remember I saw
Speaker 2: the first episode air live on TV because I saw
Speaker 2: him on Johnny Carson and I went to watch the
Speaker 2: show and my mom walked and she's like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck are you watching? Like Seinfeld in the like the eighties.
Speaker 2: But I like Curb better. And the reason why is
Speaker 2: because the way Curb works is there's no script. There's
Speaker 2: no script for Curb.
Speaker 1: There's no script. It was not improviser's very that's he
Speaker 1: wrote that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Curve has a lot of people on.
Speaker 7: The show, but surely, like the mind you could tell
Speaker 7: like once you watch Curve, you're like, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah it makes sense reality show.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Curve is.
Speaker 6: Watched the first episode. The first episode was the trailer,
Speaker 6: which wind up being a pilot, Like he didn't even
Speaker 6: want to be there, like like it was real HBO execs.
Speaker 6: They had to switch switch them to actors. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: because he was He's pissing them real HBO execs. All
Speaker 6: He's like, you got three hundred million who is doing
Speaker 6: this reality.

Speaker 6: met that guy that first So when he went to
Speaker 6: they went to the delivery store and they got the
Speaker 6: orders respect. Don't play with me, listener, I felt Kirby enthusiastic,
Speaker 6: don't with me.

Speaker 7: say you have to say both. You have to say both.
Speaker 7: You can't have one without the other. I believe you can't.

Speaker 6: took this off market because it's only thirty five.
Speaker 1: But now they offered you one. You said, no, I've
Speaker 1: never been offered okay, but.
Speaker 6: Now it's one of that landed in the US from
Speaker 6: the you know these watched chats that be happening, and
Speaker 6: like I got all these these watching I'm.
Speaker 7: Not as I just realized I am nowhere near on
Speaker 7: your level. I just realized that why I collect them
Speaker 7: and why I like them. You're in a different league
Speaker 7: and you're in the n B A he's.
Speaker 1: And I'm a. I was like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: guy's on tag whow's watching talking Watchers? It's the whole
Speaker 1: next level of one one.
Speaker 6: Just the plash in the US and so many of
Speaker 6: my chats people they know that I want this, So
Speaker 6: they started off like, Yo, I'll take the FPCE on
Speaker 6: off of you.
Speaker 7: And I'm like, oh, he's speaking in code, watch code.
Speaker 7: You hear me, I'm gonna take that FPS. He's speaking
Speaker 7: Japanese to me at this point, I don't know, I
Speaker 7: don't know. I'm not saying I'm impressed. I'm like wildly impressed.
Speaker 1: He's definitely into it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is second season made you emotionally stressful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was emotionally stressful. Yeah. How is that so?
Speaker 6: Because me, as the outside of looking at it, inside
Speaker 6: of looking out, season one looks successful. Season one seems successful.
Speaker 6: It was successful. So how does that make you go
Speaker 6: into a stressful state going into season two?
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know if you've looked at the
Speaker 7: news lately, but it's been it's been, you know, the
Speaker 7: utter decimation that is happening in Gaza while being uh,
Speaker 7: you know, a Palestinian created television show with Palestine leading
Speaker 7: Palestine family within the show.
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot to carry.
Speaker 7: There's a tremendous amount of way to carry What do
Speaker 7: you talk about when you're not talking about and how.
Speaker 1: Do you not talk about? How do you have to like?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So there was like decisions that I made throughout
Speaker 7: the writing of the show, specifically for season two, that
Speaker 7: where I felt were like best to tell the story.
Speaker 7: My dedication was to the family. My dedication was to
Speaker 7: be authentic and grounded, like do you talk? Okay, I
Speaker 7: got to start over this is this is a lot
Speaker 7: to like cover but you're saying, so after the writing strike,
Speaker 7: we went back into the room. October first, October seventh happens,
Speaker 7: and of course you know, the whole world is up
Speaker 7: in arms.
Speaker 6: It's after COVID O prize to COVID saying before October
Speaker 6: seventh and Israel will happen.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, so October seven happens.
Speaker 7: And then like I'm writing a show about a palace
Speaker 7: to nean family, and you know, everyone wants you to
Speaker 7: talk about the events, not talk about the events you
Speaker 7: should or shouldn't. So I had to really think about it,
Speaker 7: and so I did attempt to do so, like to
Speaker 7: write a world post October seventh. But that was a
Speaker 7: very like really unwise route because by the time you
Speaker 7: film the show and put out the show, a whole
Speaker 7: entire year plus has passed, so you could be dating yourself.
Speaker 7: And then second of all is like, if you do
Speaker 7: talk about that particular event, the whole show becomes about
Speaker 7: that event. And then if you do it, if you do,
Speaker 7: you know, go into it and talk about October seven,
Speaker 7: then you don't have any contexts on what was life
Speaker 7: like pre October seventh for a Palestinian, right, you know?
Speaker 7: So I just kept my focus on what I know
Speaker 7: and what if I experienced firsthand, and that was was
Speaker 7: going to drive the ship.
Speaker 1: Was my own real.
Speaker 7: Life experience, and that's what's going to inform it not
Speaker 7: only mine, but my mother's, my father's, my aunts, my uncles,
Speaker 7: the community around that of course my brother.
Speaker 1: So it just carried so much weight. And even before
Speaker 1: that happened, I lost my aunt, I lost my uncle,
Speaker 1: I lost my brother. Yeah, I talked, I lost my
Speaker 1: brother right before the first season came out, and then
Speaker 1: before October seventh happened, I lost an aunt and an
Speaker 1: uncle was like a mom and another father to me.
Speaker 1: So it was just a tremendous amount of stress to carry,
Speaker 1: not really stress, I would say grief. It wasn't really
Speaker 1: like the stress part.
Speaker 7: It was the grief managing the grief that's happening inside
Speaker 7: while feeling, you know, a you know, a deep love
Speaker 7: for my people and humans as a whole, and connecting
Speaker 7: us and trying to bring something together and making something
Speaker 7: that's so emotionally real and grounded that it resonates.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I did that.
Speaker 7: I feel like I accomplished a big purpose in my
Speaker 7: life for season two, especially with that last episode, and
Speaker 7: I was just even very mindful. You talk about like
Speaker 7: hidding gems within the show. I think some of those
Speaker 7: things like flew over people's heads. Like there was a
Speaker 7: dream sequence that happens in episode eight where there's peace
Speaker 7: throughout the lands coming from my own dreams that come
Speaker 7: from on the plane heading to Tel Aviv and UH
Speaker 7: at some point, at some point, you see the melting
Speaker 7: of guns.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you see the melting of the guns in this.
Speaker 1: You see the whole process.
Speaker 7: And I turned into Bob Ross like it's like this
Speaker 7: really abstract dream that I'm having, And then Bob Ross says,
Speaker 7: isn't it fantastic? It's amazing what you could do when
Speaker 7: you change your mind, you can create all kinds of
Speaker 7: happy thoughts. Yeah, that's nice. No more guns, no more wars.
Speaker 7: That's isn't that fantastic? Like, but I'm talking to people
Speaker 7: through Bob Ross. It's the mechanism to say like, hey,
Speaker 7: it's amazing what you can do and you change your mind,
Speaker 7: you know, like that's you can create a happy place.
Speaker 7: And yeah, there's all these like little things that I
Speaker 7: did throughout the season that that were meaningful and every
Speaker 7: second was accounter for.
Speaker 1: Genuinely, every second was accounted for. Is there anything you
Speaker 1: did after the season to be able to try to
Speaker 1: address those things you might have wanted to address? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's a special.
Speaker 7: So while World comes out October twenty, when this episode
Speaker 7: comes out, it's already be out. But that was the idea,
Speaker 7: is that in the special, it's meant to address those
Speaker 7: things not only what I felt personally, but also the
Speaker 7: things that are happening around me. So it's not just
Speaker 7: like as a comedian, yes, you talk about the things
Speaker 7: you think but also think about, but also you're a
Speaker 7: student and you're watching everyone around you and you're just
Speaker 7: taking notes and you're seeing what people are talking about.
Speaker 7: And once you mention those things on stage on a
Speaker 7: public platform like that, through that art form, you say
Speaker 7: the things everybody thinks about but never says out loud,
Speaker 7: and that's what creates the vibe.
Speaker 1: And the set, you know. So yeah, but I did that.
Speaker 1: I feel like I did that while world completely and
Speaker 1: I lost.
Speaker 7: My sister three months, a month before I even filmed that,
Speaker 7: and I was so stressed out, and I was obsessed
Speaker 7: with this concept of time, taking us back to the
Speaker 7: watches and how they work, but also as a fundamentally,
Speaker 7: time is undefeated, time is fleeting, time flies, You can
Speaker 7: never go back in time. And I just think about
Speaker 7: my sister, the loved ones, us as human interactions, like
Speaker 7: how we are one another and how I could bring
Speaker 7: that together. And that's why I wrote that bit about
Speaker 7: time literally the day before I started filming the special,
Speaker 7: and it was like four pages and like four pages,
Speaker 7: and I cut it down as much as I could,
Speaker 7: but that I memorized it the day I'm shooting.
Speaker 1: Literally the day.
Speaker 7: I'm shooting, I'm in the green room, I tell my
Speaker 7: managers like almost if don't let anybody like, I'm just
Speaker 7: gonna be sitting here just memorizing what I wrote, and
Speaker 7: also you got to capture the emotionality of it.
Speaker 1: And be real direct.
Speaker 7: Anything out of order, it's like it's a big wordplay,
Speaker 7: you know, associated with it as well. So I memorized.
Speaker 7: I had a teleprompter. I told him to turn off
Speaker 7: the teleprompter. I've never used the teleprompter for stand up.
Speaker 7: It should be natural. So I turned that thing off
Speaker 7: and I just like said fuck it, and I got it.
Speaker 1: I ended up getting it.
Speaker 2: It was very very.
Speaker 7: I couldn't believe I did it. Actually, I couldn't believe.
Speaker 7: I wrote a whole bit the day before and uh,
Speaker 7: and I ended up. And it's the closer. It's the
Speaker 7: entire closer. Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: You see that all the time.
Speaker 1: Was that a good recap? That was fire?
Speaker 7: It was just I was I was skipping around like crazy.
Speaker 7: And once you see the time better, you gotta see this.
Speaker 7: I'm really really And that's the close. It was two things.
Speaker 1: It's like a dedication.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 6: We're on our way here. But listen to all your interviews.
Speaker 6: I want in one of the interviews, you just.
Speaker 1: Said, man, I want to fuck this guy up when
Speaker 1: I see him. What do you think I do my
Speaker 1: research and I'm gonna se you. Okay, that's fine, go ahead, and.
Speaker 6: Today you get the privilege. I'm watching two seconds. You
Speaker 6: watched a minute in ten seconds.
Speaker 1: It was the Netflix part. Yeah, it's yeah, as they
Speaker 1: see you.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 1: That's not close to one. And this, this, this puts
Speaker 1: me in a weird position, because why do you say
Speaker 1: that one doesn't put sight from a weird position.
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm gonna tell you watch I'm gonna tell
Speaker 6: you why. It puts me in a weird position. Probably
Speaker 6: this a long time ago. I don't know when. But
Speaker 6: I have a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: His name is called Arab Can Arab Can, Arab King Ken. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: if you know him, you know him.
Speaker 6: But he has a bunch of us all on a
Speaker 6: group chat.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to name these people.
Speaker 6: When I when I tell you, and I guess that's
Speaker 6: when the war started to break out. It was like
Speaker 6: I want all of y'all to kind of like say,
Speaker 6: free Palestine, right.
Speaker 1: Is the person I'm referencing also that you're referring to
Speaker 1: that group chat? No, he was not, not that I
Speaker 1: know of. Maybe I didn't have his number at the time,
Speaker 1: So you know how you know only the numbers that
Speaker 1: you did. You have a numbers you have. I had
Speaker 1: didn't understand that, and I had.
Speaker 6: Kind of like got out of my own controversy, so
Speaker 6: I didn't really understand what was going on. But I realized,
Speaker 6: you know, how serious a rap can was. And I
Speaker 6: believe that was the last group chat that all of
Speaker 6: us ever had together.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, deestimated the entire group chat. Is he kind
Speaker 1: of like took a stand, and that's my man, Like
Speaker 1: I love him. The stand was that all y'all better
Speaker 1: say free Palestine.
Speaker 6: Or he was basically I think he was an alternate,
Speaker 6: but he was like, I need y'all help, right, And
Speaker 6: a lot of us that's like you. That's like you're saying,
Speaker 6: it's like you being from the Bronx and the person
Speaker 6: describing to you beef in Brooklyn. It's just like, even
Speaker 6: though it's fucking twelve minutes away, it's a totally different perspective.
Speaker 1: So I have to say it, arect, I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 6: But what I'm trying to say I'm writing down a
Speaker 6: simplistic way. It's like when you're dealing with industry people
Speaker 6: like like we were involved and attached to so many
Speaker 6: different things, and we like it was like post it
Speaker 6: now and most people were just like they just didn't
Speaker 6: know what to do. Fast forward, we keep hearing the
Speaker 6: same thing, keep hearing the same thing. I jog every morning,
Speaker 6: I see uh, missing people posters posted on on on
Speaker 6: the wall. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. What's going on?
Speaker 7: You skipped a lot though ahead, Yeah, no, I so
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, I just definitely tell you it's very
Speaker 7: important to be very very.
Speaker 1: Specific in these moments. Yes, things can be taking a
Speaker 1: yeah October.
Speaker 6: So there's a lot of history in generally so so
Speaker 6: one of the famous things is, you know, we get
Speaker 6: to see you know, we get to go on social
Speaker 6: media and a lot of people could teque a person
Speaker 6: that I'm pretty much cool with, pretty much called my family,
Speaker 6: pretty called my friend.
Speaker 1: College. Now, something that's very real special starts out with
Speaker 1: what God say it don't be scared.
Speaker 6: He's yeah, but that's what you said, right well, first
Speaker 6: of all, and then and then and then you know,
Speaker 6: off top for me, we walk in and you say,
Speaker 6: you know, you look at Boris and you say, you know,
Speaker 6: Boris looks like me. It's a little bit and Boris says, man,
Speaker 6: you look like me to a little bit, right, but
Speaker 6: then me, I kind of thin.
Speaker 1: You in college. Yeah of course. Yeah, So now joke
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 6: I would like to be quiet, and I would like
Speaker 6: to you to explain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he skipped over a lot first. It's very
Speaker 1: very important. These are like the normal uh as Palestinians,
Speaker 1: the things we experience happening around us.
Speaker 7: It's been happening a long time. There's a lot of
Speaker 7: history there. They've been fighting for thousands years. Oh my god,
Speaker 7: like this shit, which is like fucking nausea. All right,
Speaker 7: it's nobody's fault directly.
Speaker 1: It's just like what the the regularly scheduled program is
Speaker 1: the same word. It's over and over again.
Speaker 7: So that's what gets captured in the culture, right, what
Speaker 7: happened after October seventh is just like this big veil
Speaker 7: has been lifted to show that to a mass mass
Speaker 7: level because it's been it's happening for a long time.
Speaker 7: The occupation itself, what palsie endure, the fact that there's
Speaker 7: an apartheid wall.
Speaker 1: Every single every single you know, respected.
Speaker 7: Institution on earth that makes these judgments are saying this
Speaker 7: is an apartheid. Palestins can't walk on the street going there.
Speaker 7: Gadz has been getting bombed for like nineteen years before
Speaker 7: this October seventh attack had And yes, it's a horrible thing. Yes,
Speaker 7: all of that is obviously, it's like a normal human
Speaker 7: reactions say that is a terrible thing. That doesn't erase
Speaker 7: as well the seventy five plus years of you know,
Speaker 7: unfair treatment of Palestinians, apartheid, being occupied under not even
Speaker 7: able to live your life all that.
Speaker 1: So that's been happening, right, So.
Speaker 7: It all comes out to the service October seventh, and
Speaker 7: I'm using, you know clearly, like it's very very important
Speaker 7: to note this and I don't want this to be
Speaker 7: cut out like this requires like a really you know,
Speaker 7: in depth conversation outside of alcohol respectively, you know, to
Speaker 7: have it to make sure we're clear so we're not
Speaker 7: fucking up, because it's very very important and be like
Speaker 7: mindful of the whole situation, but also with the Palestinians,
Speaker 7: the history and being precisely important. So just speaking on
Speaker 7: the culture of what's happened since October seventh, is that, Hey,
Speaker 7: why don't you speak why are you afraid to speak out?
Speaker 7: You should say something that's its own thing. There's a
Speaker 7: lot of pressure that comes with that, being who I am,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of pressure that happened with that. I
Speaker 7: feel like people were very impulsive sometimes and very angry,
Speaker 7: and understandably so, and how they're posting and going about it.
Speaker 7: It's also important to be mindful, and it's really important,
Speaker 7: really difficult to be patient, even for a week or two,
Speaker 7: just to see how things unfold so you can truly
Speaker 7: articulate yourself, because there is a responsibility with how you
Speaker 7: post and where you put out into the world that
Speaker 7: could be interpreted a certain way, looked at a certain way.
Speaker 7: But when it's a complete decimation of a civilian population,
Speaker 7: when the entire area is going, when I you know,
Speaker 7: I always knew I was gonna make it, but I
Speaker 7: never thought it was gonna be under these circumstances. Where's
Speaker 7: Sipher seeing this I'm holding, you know, meeting with kids
Speaker 7: that are just like lost limbs but still cheerful coming
Speaker 7: from Gaza. I'm old little kid that's three years old,
Speaker 7: missing his leg. You can tell, like the way he's turned,
Speaker 7: and I was like he lost his mother as well.
Speaker 7: There's people who have told me they've lost over two
Speaker 7: hundred relatives. I met with someone the next day that
Speaker 7: I was like, what's wrong with him?
Speaker 1: I asked the question. I saw him like had a real,
Speaker 1: like this gaze in his eye.
Speaker 7: He's lost, right, And he's just like, oh, he's just
Speaker 7: lost thirty seven family members yesterday and one night.
Speaker 1: And he's like, God, what you are just still keeping
Speaker 1: his faith in he man.
Speaker 7: Now that being said, all these things are happening that
Speaker 7: I did a very very quick summation of that. Please
Speaker 7: forgive me if I miss something, and I know I
Speaker 7: missed a lot, but just to capture just how fucked
Speaker 7: up this thing is happening. And you have the most
Speaker 7: famous figure in the world this happens to be Palestinian,
Speaker 7: which is DJ Khaled, and everyone just sees he's completely silent,
Speaker 7: and not only on top of that, the people are starved,
Speaker 7: don't have food, don't have access to things, and he's
Speaker 7: showing how much food he has, how much it's not
Speaker 7: even like, Okay, you're not gonna say anything, Well, don't
Speaker 7: fucking be so grotesque with this, because this is so insensitive.
Speaker 7: Everybody looks like a lot of a lot of Palasan
Speaker 7: can look up to you. How would you do this
Speaker 7: now if your people are being decimated down the street,
Speaker 7: wouldn't you say something?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you acknowledge that exists? Advocate if he's not a politician,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to be a politician either. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be that. You're a human being.
Speaker 7: I don't want to be a gross I'm not a politician.
Speaker 7: He should not be a politician says anything about politics.
Speaker 7: It's a simple thing. But like, this is horrific. I
Speaker 7: am so torn up about this happening. Just like he's
Speaker 7: doing the polar opposite. Something you gotta you have to
Speaker 7: say something, and how you say it and when you
Speaker 7: say it is everything you know. So it's just like
Speaker 7: what he could have gained as a real human right now,
Speaker 7: I see as a caricature, like George Lopez is saying,
Speaker 7: Oh rapaos, this guy's This guy's a young Mexican American
Speaker 7: stand up comedian. That's like, you know, doing this thing
Speaker 7: you should show left to. You should know who he is,
Speaker 7: you should acknowledge look at like, at least know who
Speaker 7: they are. You don't have to be like best friend
Speaker 7: with them, but that's how you lift each other up
Speaker 7: and for you not tacknowledge that whole thing and then
Speaker 7: to go about yourself in that way makes it look
Speaker 7: really bad. Now that being said, what me opening the
Speaker 7: show DJ call is not intended to be like for real,
Speaker 7: like for real fuck you.
Speaker 1: It's how the people feel.
Speaker 7: There's a reason why literally all over the planet when
Speaker 7: I do that opening line.
Speaker 1: People are just like because I that's how they actually feel.
Speaker 1: They're like most of the people they know your struggle,
Speaker 1: like where they come in to see you're.
Speaker 2: One of your Palestinian, where your family comes from.
Speaker 1: There you do that, you it's just like it's uh shocking,
Speaker 1: it's over, it's like beyond shocking.
Speaker 7: It's so people, it's unforgivable. Now, that's how they feel.
Speaker 7: And I'm just as a commentator on the culture. You
Speaker 7: you say, what's what everybody's thinking about, and that's what
Speaker 7: that is also too. And so if you introduce me
Speaker 7: so when he see the guys completely not there, you know,
Speaker 7: like as far as conversation though I don't even know
Speaker 7: if it's I don't know who's the real cat, Like
Speaker 7: I don't know, does he really walk around like that?
Speaker 6: I don't know, football, But are you supposed to connect
Speaker 6: with him because you probably.
Speaker 1: Because like I'm just just be honest with you.
Speaker 6: I remember it's not about white here, but I remember
Speaker 6: my wife used to introduce me to like her her girlfriends.
Speaker 1: The boyfriends like to try to hang out with him,
Speaker 1: but he smokes weed. I'm like, you know, it's way deeper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like that's like saying a black guy like like just
Speaker 1: because he's black. I'm just I'm not sure off a month.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have the black man, no though, right,
Speaker 2: I got that nod, you got the black you see
Speaker 2: a black man, I got that club.
Speaker 7: You didn't see that when you see another area, Like,
Speaker 7: I don't know what's said, and I'll be keep some
Speaker 7: kind of acknowledged and pros fucking dope what you're doing
Speaker 7: like in the in in that world and this world.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to just be like, I'm probably, let's dope.
Speaker 7: Have you accomplished in this world and genre? Like people
Speaker 7: look up to you and the fact that you don't
Speaker 7: even acknowledge that it's crazy. Your man, so to speak,
Speaker 7: is that the top African American standup comedian can't be
Speaker 7: friends with the best hip hop artists and they overlap
Speaker 7: their both in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 1: How would you not know each.
Speaker 7: Other Kanye David Chappelle where they wearing the bear all
Speaker 7: that ship like that's a that's a fan. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 7: it's a community that you build that you can build
Speaker 7: off that. The fact that you don't even acknowledge that
Speaker 7: was is very, very hurtful. So so not saying that
Speaker 7: he has a responsible that he has to live his life,
Speaker 7: he has to make a living.
Speaker 1: Those things some way too. His position, right, he is
Speaker 1: in his position.
Speaker 6: That's that's that's actually that's actually put it in his
Speaker 6: Why do you think he's not speaking out?
Speaker 1: I don't know, he can only say that I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's not.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone that's on the streets is like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's worried about his money. You know.
Speaker 7: That's what the word is between Like I asked them,
Speaker 7: I don't assume what somebody else is going through and
Speaker 7: if he is going through in light. So I also
Speaker 7: at the end of the special, I opened the door.
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not like saying fuck you, I'm gonna
Speaker 7: fuk you up. It's probably what I feel like happened
Speaker 7: when you read is me riffing on stage trying to
Speaker 7: find the joke before I early version of that, and
Speaker 7: I'm just working it out.
Speaker 1: That's I told you. No I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I'm saying that, Yeah, I'm working out the joke. What
Speaker 7: it is because of what I was noticing is that
Speaker 7: there's a lot of things going on. And that's why
Speaker 7: it's such a part of the special. It's not it's
Speaker 7: my own first hand experience. It's what the people are saying,
Speaker 7: why people feel how they feel, not just Arabs. I'm
Speaker 7: telling you, like and I in Dublin, it was like
Speaker 7: one hundred percent of white people, bro.
Speaker 1: Everybody. When I said that they understand it right away.
Speaker 7: I'm talking about everyone that understands what's going on, knows
Speaker 7: that they don't like him for they can't believe it.
Speaker 7: And if find it really over the top without even
Speaker 7: like mentioning, you know, he'll understand what he's doing. He'll
Speaker 7: communicate in different ways, like love is the only way,
Speaker 7: you know. I know he's trying to He's like trying
Speaker 7: to tell people like love is only way is how
Speaker 7: we can persevere. But love is not just enough to
Speaker 7: solve everything, you know, It's just.
Speaker 2: Not This isn't me as an outsider who's who was
Speaker 2: very close to cal It and now I'm close to
Speaker 2: Mo and then I feel caught in a bad position.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, trying to be Switzerland, but you're not.
Speaker 1: I'm just story from what I did Mark, from what
Speaker 1: I see.
Speaker 3: I see.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he knows this or not. Cal It,
Speaker 2: I don't know if he knows this or not. But
Speaker 2: me with this guy for the last year, those people
Speaker 2: that come see him and they express it are very
Speaker 2: hurt about DJ Khalen. You know what I'm saying that
Speaker 2: when he says that on stage, I can't speak for him.
Speaker 2: I can't speak for him. I'm watching as an outsider,
Speaker 2: and I'm watching the audience and they're very because they
Speaker 2: say it after the show. They like what they say.
Speaker 2: You know him, right, I go, yeah, I know him.
Speaker 2: Why does he say anything? I can't answer that. I
Speaker 2: don't know why, but they're very hurt. That's somebody from
Speaker 2: that culture, that from that place. However, you say it correctly,
Speaker 2: and I know more than anyone else you can. I
Speaker 2: know more than everyone else because I wrote with him,
Speaker 2: and I hear all his conversations with all these different
Speaker 2: people we had a conversation with these doctors that were
Speaker 2: on the ground in God's I have to leave the room.
Speaker 2: Wrong started crying, and like, I'm watching these people when
Speaker 2: they speak about Calid. They're very hurt.
Speaker 6: So I don't know how, but maybe let's let me
Speaker 6: be Devil's advocate one more time. Maybe, And I know
Speaker 6: I'm gonna sound very naive right now, but just hit
Speaker 6: me out. Maybe he knows it, but he doesn't know it, right,
Speaker 6: Is that a possibility.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be That's what I've said that
Speaker 2: because I'm trying.
Speaker 1: To be genuinely the case. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: the fuck to make of that, Like, it's such an
Speaker 1: insane thing to say that someone whose pousing doesn't understand,
Speaker 1: especially someone who clearly likes palasing food he talks about it,
Speaker 1: I want to quit a clue ad. It's called called
Speaker 1: m kluba by the way, And just like he's constantly
Speaker 1: referencing Arab food like that, and you know, God bless
Speaker 1: his family, his mother.
Speaker 7: I've seen him poast with his mom. God bless her,
Speaker 7: you know, and nothing like that is so the real
Speaker 7: respect and you have to maintain that. What I was
Speaker 7: saying is capturing what literally that entire universe is thinking.
Speaker 1: Okay, so could I do?
Speaker 7: And the part about Slavish Germany, I'm building a bit.
Speaker 7: Somebody recorded that put that on trying to get baits.
Speaker 7: So how about what does that not mean? I'm just
Speaker 7: trying to think of it.
Speaker 1: I'll do a celebrity chops and kind I'm trying to
Speaker 1: take a solution. Do you think it's left for you
Speaker 1: to be a conversation with you and him?
Speaker 7: Of course, of course that's the whole point. That's what
Speaker 7: the end of the special one, the time bit. I'm
Speaker 7: not he's not I say, he's not the one. It's weird, good, great,
Speaker 7: I said, he's not the only one behind the times
Speaker 7: as many many other ones. I'm not gonna mention names. Seinfeld.
Speaker 7: I believe what you said was I don't care about Palestine. Well, Jerry,
Speaker 7: I care about everyone. And it's better to kill time
Speaker 7: than kill with your time. Festivus for the rest of us.
Speaker 7: I used to watch that show on much simpler times.
Speaker 7: Festivus for the rest of us. I used to watch
Speaker 7: that show on much simpler times. I'm saying, like yo.
Speaker 1: With George.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when George Fidy.
Speaker 1: Think I don't know. That's the whole point everything. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, I'll tell you. I'll tell you one portion
Speaker 1: of the time.
Speaker 7: Bit so I say, I say the part the part
Speaker 7: before that, I say, I say, if you really care
Speaker 7: about I want another You should check in on each
Speaker 7: other from time to time. My mother always says, if
Speaker 7: you love me, show me. And that's why I'm so
Speaker 7: frustrated with DJ Khaled.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's really no, really, he's Palestini, He's one of us,
Speaker 1: and instead of being with the times, he's behind the times.
Speaker 7: And for this guy, it's always dinner time. I know,
Speaker 7: I know it's a fat on fat crime. I didn't
Speaker 7: want to say this. You know who put it in
Speaker 7: my heart.
Speaker 1: God did.
Speaker 7: But he's not the only one behind the times. There's many,
Speaker 7: many other ones, not gonna name names. Seinfeld, I believe
Speaker 7: what you said was I don't care about Palestine. Well, Jerry,
Speaker 7: I care about everyone. And it's better to kill time
Speaker 7: than kill with your time Festivus for the rest of us.
Speaker 7: I used to watch that show on much simpler times.
Speaker 7: And what does it say about these times that the
Speaker 7: world trusts Miss Rachel more than New York Times. Yes, yes, Welcome, Welcome,
Speaker 7: This is real, real time with moammer. I hate to
Speaker 7: break it to you, folks, but we're all gonna die.
Speaker 7: You could say we're here for a limited time. Only
Speaker 7: time is of the essence. I could go on and on,
Speaker 7: but unfortunately I'm almost out of time because it's prime
Speaker 7: time and the clock's taking. We're on borrow time, and
Speaker 7: every second counts. We're down to the wire, and in
Speaker 7: this life there's no overtime. So I always remember the
Speaker 7: one who transcends space and time. And next thing you know,
Speaker 7: there's no more time. We thought we're a big time
Speaker 7: but we're actually small time, and now we're pressed for time.
Speaker 7: It's a race against time.
Speaker 1: That's one of this.
Speaker 7: Yeahs a race against time, against time. I'm hired up,
Speaker 7: but it's like it's a race against time. And now
Speaker 7: now you're running out of time, and now it's high time,
Speaker 7: it's go time, it's crunch time. It's the end of
Speaker 7: times until next time, myrtle free palace time. That's what
Speaker 7: you gotta watch it to understand the rest of you
Speaker 7: gotta cut that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Sorry already, but it's like it's not but that's the
Speaker 1: that's the thing I left.
Speaker 7: I left the door open because I'm saying, like, yo,
Speaker 7: he's fousting, bro, like what's happening, whatever it is, and
Speaker 7: what I was saying on tours like, no, it's very
Speaker 7: sad because if he feels like he's gonna lose everything,
Speaker 7: when reality is you'll gain everything. And sometimes you have
Speaker 7: to lose everything to get everything. That's just how it is.
Speaker 7: And all the grades have done it, so Muhammad Ali
Speaker 7: grades have done it. So for him, that's like, you know,
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's okay sometimes just sometimes watches not everything
Speaker 1: you didn't have to be That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: It's not nobody's asking him to be that, but just
Speaker 7: not acknowledging that you're even Palestinian to humanize it in
Speaker 7: such a beautiful way. And the fact that he makes
Speaker 7: all these relationships and he has all these relationships, he
Speaker 7: has a big, big opportunity and instead of like tapping
Speaker 7: into that and getting into that, it seems like I'm
Speaker 7: not saying it is seems like you're all about the
Speaker 7: fucking money, and that's what the concern I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. I'm not annoying as your friend,
Speaker 1: I'm not, and a lot of us are all about
Speaker 1: the money.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean like yeah, I'm saying it's well,
Speaker 7: it comes as a price, and then you shouldn't be
Speaker 7: mad when somebody says, okay, DJ, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: And it's not even meant like for real, like fuck you,
Speaker 7: like it does not like that. It's like, hey, i
Speaker 7: know we're all thinking this, you know, like that's what
Speaker 7: the whole thing is about. I know you might want
Speaker 7: to take another drink.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll bring it the house. That'd be hilarious if
Speaker 1: he just walks out right now, it's actually him. The
Speaker 1: one thing I will say, but I'm not. The one
Speaker 1: thing I will say the only way moment is.
Speaker 6: I don't understand politics, so I don't like, but I
Speaker 6: want to support it when I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 7: I'm saying that you don't support policy. It's not about politics.
Speaker 7: It's about people. It's about human beings. I don't even
Speaker 7: talk about politics. I'm not even talking about politics. I'm
Speaker 7: talking about the whoever's hearts are hardened, you know. And
Speaker 7: you've seen these images on a regular basis where so
Speaker 7: many children so many men, women and children that are
Speaker 7: just completely decimated, literally eviscerated by these bombs and technology.
Speaker 7: I mean, these doctors that they came to the show,
Speaker 7: they're doctors. They're not even palasting, They're from different backgrounds.
Speaker 7: They're talking about how like fucking drones are coming and
Speaker 7: they're like making like sounds of a baby crying. And
Speaker 7: then somebody comes out to think that there's a baby
Speaker 7: out there.
Speaker 1: And they get shot. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7: And then the way the shots are is like it's
Speaker 7: four guns like this, and he shoots, you know, four bullets,
Speaker 7: so he hits all the vital organs with the belamchtungs
Speaker 7: like that, hits all the void of organs. Like that's nuts,
Speaker 7: you know, Like, how do you I'm just trying to
Speaker 7: be a comedian and tell stories, and for some reason,
Speaker 7: I'm in this position and God put me here in
Speaker 7: this scenario, in this situation, and I'm just really trying
Speaker 7: to do the best I can. I mean, the guy
Speaker 7: who helped deliver my son is Jewish. He was hilarious.
Speaker 7: I didn't even realize it was gonna happen. I have
Speaker 7: no problem with Jewish people or anything like this at all.
Speaker 7: It's very very sad to see, like the inability to
Speaker 7: have a conversation, you know, that is so wild to me.
Speaker 7: If you can't even have logic or see me as
Speaker 7: an equal, it's just then you know, we can't even
Speaker 7: be friends, you know.
Speaker 1: Me, I always you know, I'm pretty much probably gonna
Speaker 1: end it with this, but but you know, it's really
Speaker 1: quiet when you can hear the air conditioning, you know why?
Speaker 1: You know why?
Speaker 6: I mean, I would rather discuss it with a person
Speaker 6: like you, like I couldn't like, No, I would say,
Speaker 6: discuss it with somebody much much better than me.
Speaker 7: I'm just a comedian. You know, you should discuss it
Speaker 7: with somebody much much better than me. I can, but
Speaker 7: it's just people that have a very sophisticated knowledge and understand.
Speaker 2: It, you know. No, I'm just staying. I'm around it
Speaker 2: so much because I've been with this guy for a
Speaker 2: long time, and I hear him talking to all these
Speaker 2: different people, and I try to tell him, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of people on our side that don't know anything
Speaker 2: about this stuff. They don't even know where these places are,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. They don't even know where
Speaker 2: any of it. They don't know what you're talking about,
Speaker 2: And like I try to tell them, you can't get
Speaker 2: mad at these people that don't know the situation. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm not no, not you.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, we talked to so many people about this,
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, you gotta.
Speaker 1: How distracted can we all be at the same time?
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 7: That's everybody who's to know, but talk about what's happening.
Speaker 7: And there's like a Mexican guy in the audience, It's like,
Speaker 7: what are you talking about? What's heberting and Palastine bro
Speaker 7: something going on.
Speaker 1: Like his algorithm, you know, religious it's not plenty of
Speaker 1: Palestinian Christians at our Dians.
Speaker 2: Weld there's so many. Yeah, yeah, it's a crazy situation. Yes,
Speaker 2: I just I just try to tell them, don't get
Speaker 2: mad at people if they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Just try to get the message to because yeah, like
Speaker 2: some of his fans he got like in America. We
Speaker 2: was in the Middle East, that was completely different, But
Speaker 2: in America it'd be like a lot of row a
Speaker 2: lot of Palestinians, a lot of Muslims.
Speaker 1: Living there living in America about the shows not the shows.
Speaker 2: But then they'll also be like wild groups of Mexicans
Speaker 2: that just love the show. Yeah yeah, and they're hearing
Speaker 2: all this stuff and they're like what's going on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're just like enjoying the comedy show because they're like
Speaker 2: more because like it's a Texas Palasadian Texas and it'll.
Speaker 1: Be like you know.
Speaker 2: And then when we were in Ireland, it's just like
Speaker 2: the Irish people are like one per like.
Speaker 1: Well they could.
Speaker 2: So there's Irish people with Palestinian flags and I'm like, this.
Speaker 1: Is yeah, Irish issue, of course, of course, you know.
Speaker 1: I love Dublin.
Speaker 7: The entire tour has been spectacular, like for real, like
Speaker 7: we I don't know how many countries we hit up
Speaker 7: in Europe, but over a dozen for sure, plus and
Speaker 7: I don't know how many shows, but it just it's
Speaker 7: a it's an extremely diverse crowd. The entire thing was like,
Speaker 7: I mean, Dublin was like it was like a lot
Speaker 7: of places where it was just white people and I
Speaker 7: be walking down the street and must the person receiving
Speaker 7: me like, what are you doing here? I was like,
Speaker 7: I did it, So I just did a show as
Speaker 7: whole it's just you had a show like all the
Speaker 7: white people bought the tickets first, you know, like it
Speaker 7: was it's a it's becoming That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like it's becoming a much much bigger thing where
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this stuff and now people are
Speaker 1: like going, oh, oh, I get it, and it's just
Speaker 1: in my stand up.
Speaker 2: But I just like, you know, he does a great
Speaker 2: job of balancing, so let me get the best show.
Speaker 2: That's still funny, bro, It's still a comedy show even
Speaker 2: though he's talking about all this heavy stuff and not
Speaker 2: only the heavy stuff, he's also talking about his family
Speaker 2: and having a baby and all that stuff. But it's
Speaker 2: still funny, which is amazing that he could do that.
Speaker 7: That's like, really the biggest trick is like you have
Speaker 7: something that's incredibly dense, and how do you make this
Speaker 7: into it? Like that's that's like the walking the tyrope thing.
Speaker 7: That's the thing where you look up at the standards
Speaker 7: that you love and you grew up watching, like how
Speaker 7: are you gonna.
Speaker 1: Do this now?
Speaker 7: You know, get yourself out of this thing? You know,
Speaker 7: Like it's that's part of the fun though too, it's

Speaker 1: playing around situation. So I would like to approach it.
Speaker 1: Approach you very serious. You know what I'm saying. Because one.
Speaker 6: Me knowing Colin on the other side, I just don't
Speaker 6: feel like I think he knows how to approach it

Speaker 7: I feel like you keep going back to the same thing.
Speaker 7: I'm definitely I don't think people. Maybe I can't speak
Speaker 7: for other people, but I don't think he's a terrible
Speaker 7: person or a horrible human being or anything like that.

Speaker 7: the way season and the commenting on it in the end,
Speaker 7: you know, you just for for not being present at
Speaker 7: all in this situation, not even you know. I wish
Speaker 7: everyone be like it kills me all that whatever it

Speaker 6: Somewhere everyone else is gonna get in life. And as
Speaker 6: a person who's done this, I was one of the
Speaker 6: first people to work with the Neptunes on a high
Speaker 6: scale level. Not the first people to work with them period.
Speaker 6: There's other people that working them, but I put them
Speaker 6: in my video. I was one of the other first
Speaker 6: people to work with Swiss beats. It's one of the
Speaker 6: other first people to work reggaeton when everyone said you're
Speaker 6: an idiot, you dad do that. And I was also
Speaker 6: one of the first people to work with podcasts other
Speaker 6: than these guys right there, I'm talking about artists wise.
Speaker 1: So with you being.
Speaker 6: First Palestinian comedian like you are the mountain rushmore, the
Speaker 6: mount rushing more for your people, for your or the
Speaker 6: starts with you, that's some fucking real heavy.
Speaker 1: It's that belt.
Speaker 6: Seen them belts, they gave that to us. But your
Speaker 6: belts is around you all fucking day. It's never gonna stop.
Speaker 6: It's never gonna.
Speaker 1: Slow down.
Speaker 6: You are a person for your people. You are a
Speaker 6: person that's representing your people, and you are a person
Speaker 6: that your people put in the forefront and it said,
Speaker 6: this is the person we want for us to talk
Speaker 6: talk to. And I'm telling you that responsibility is very heavy.
Speaker 6: Responsibility is very real, and responsibility is something that we're
Speaker 6: gonna support. Big feel you got big shoes to feel
Speaker 6: and I'm sorry that maybe you don't understand it's you're
Speaker 6: a political comedian, not you're not. But but the fact
Speaker 6: that how you broke down everything that we didn't.
Speaker 1: Understand, it makes you that, like D. L.
Speaker 6: Hugley is a political community, regardless if he wants to
Speaker 6: accept it or not.
Speaker 1: And it's not, no, it's not it's not is a
Speaker 1: wrong word, it's it's the wrong you're all weirdest comedian.
Speaker 1: You're making us aware, yeah, thoughtful comedian.
Speaker 6: Thoughtful awareness, whatever, because you're making us aware to things
Speaker 6: that we don't actually know.
Speaker 1: Well, it's very hard to respond to any of this.
Speaker 1: It just makes me a little itchy.
Speaker 7: I really really appreciate you saying that if I'm just
Speaker 7: too close to the elephant, you know, I can't see
Speaker 7: the elephant, but I understand the significance and the importance
Speaker 7: of it at the same time. Like I'm a comedian,
Speaker 7: I'm a filmmaker, I'm a director, I'm I'm thoughtful. I
Speaker 7: try to be thoughtful in my in my stand up,
Speaker 7: and wanted to talk about at the end, you gotta
Speaker 7: be funny, you gotta know the r form, you love it,
Speaker 7: and you touch upon many many subjects so I do
Speaker 7: protest on this political common thing and the next one,
Speaker 7: I don't even know what I'll do as far as
Speaker 7: stand up is concerned, but you know which direction is
Speaker 7: going to go. But this is, you know, the responsibility.
Speaker 7: I feel like it's just capture the time. Just keep
Speaker 7: going to that. And that's what this special is about.
Speaker 7: But caps this moment in time, and I have zero desire,
Speaker 7: absolute minus fucking minus desire.
Speaker 1: To be known as a guy.
Speaker 7: Damn political commedia at all, whatsoever. I think by nature,
Speaker 7: I think by nature who I am. It just makes
Speaker 7: it that way. Like when I come on this podcast,
Speaker 7: nobody look at it. Look look at this whole product.
Speaker 7: How much politics can they actually take it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 7: It gets very serious, very good. That's fine, I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you what my sharing with you. So
Speaker 7: she's been not telling you.
Speaker 1: I'm sharing my experience of just trying to do stand up,
Speaker 1: but it always turns into this thing. And and I
Speaker 1: think that this special was to put that to better understand.
Speaker 6: Like you know, but but but let me let me
Speaker 6: big you up before we get up out of here.
Speaker 6: That's a special thing to teach people and to make
Speaker 6: them laugh at the same time. There's nothing like that,
Speaker 6: just so you know that, like like uh uh, I
Speaker 6: don't watch First forty eight because I don't laugh at
Speaker 6: first for well.
Speaker 1: Some of those situations are pretty fun. I mean, not
Speaker 1: the war being.
Speaker 6: But when you can entertain me and school me, it's
Speaker 6: the best fucking thing in the world.
Speaker 1: So that's what I think is your the best trade
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 7: It's like, well, that being said, I'm gonna do Dumb
Speaker 7: and Dumber three. I already signed the deal for it.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm just talking.
Speaker 6: About but I just want to say, man, thank you
Speaker 6: man for continue to do what you do. Man, Thank
Speaker 6: you you man.
