Speaker 4: or to get the inspiration, you know, to dip into

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: a different career. Was wild, is how this shit came about.

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: So during the shutdown, I had a partner. I can't

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: say what state, but I got a partner. His job

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: he was a lobbyist for the marijuana industry, and his

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: job was to basically take out politicians and schmooz them

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: on trying to get we legalized in this particular state.

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: Just hey, motherfucker, let's go down to Ruth Chris and

57
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: eat two hundred dollars worth of food while I try

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: to wind. And then the shutdown hit. There was no restaurant.

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: Every politician in this as old as fuck, so they

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: all at risk. They scared, and this nigga pivoted and

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: became a gospel singer.

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: And I'm like, the.

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: Fuck, That's what I said. I was like, how you

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: go from fucking a baby? You know, weed is good

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: for this Jesus, You're the center of my jewel. And

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: so if he was thinking that and that was eating

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: at him and the fact he had the courage to

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: go and do that. There's gotta be other people with

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: similar stories, so you know, on the other side of that,

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: we put goofy fun shit and talk shit about your

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: old boss. But the real core of it is just

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: thinking about what your purpose is in life, and if

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: you're already chasing it down, then laugh with folks that

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: are doing the same thing. But if you're not, it's

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: also a place, hopefully where you get a little bit

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: just of a push. I mean, we ain't monster dot nigga.

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: You ain't gonna come on my job there and find

78
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: your career tomorrow, but you will find better understanding of

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: what a lot of other people go through in the

80
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: day to day because when you look at the things

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: that connect us every day, you're trying to figure out

82
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: you need to eat, you need to fucking fill some

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: level of connection with someone love, you need to bust

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: a nut whatever, and you need to figure out a

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: way to provide everybody had right down to fucking animals.

86
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: You fucking you need something to eat, you need to mate,

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: and you gotta go fucking get the fucking how to

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: provide you need housing. So I think that employment connects

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: us a lot more than we think, across the board,

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: across all demographics, uh, than we're willing to acknowledge. So

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: that's where a podcast came from. Man, I found out

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,839

00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: a long clearance period for that. So then when this

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: came up and they're like, hey, do you want to

160
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: moderate a panel? We want to throw your name in

161
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: the hat for the Obama fucking blah blah blah, I

162
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: was like, sure, motherfuck. I went on my Twitter at night.

163
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: I cleaned up the last three months of ignorant shit.

164
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: And you know, my Instagram is pretty docile. My Instagram

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: is probably a better representation of who I am Twitter.

166
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: You know how I tweet some nights at two in

167
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: the morning. It's little ignorant wow. But I went through

168
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: that shit, delete and shit I did. I ain't cleaned

169
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: up my Twitter like that since I got hired for

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: the Daily Show. Like that was like that part of

171
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: it was wild. But then like in actually talking to him,

172
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 4: like the the the orders were very simple, don't steer

173
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: this conversation off into a while. Shit, we here to

174
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: talk about fatherhood, and to me that was enough. So,

175
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 4: you know, it was an honor to be able to

176
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: sit with the dude and to be chosen to have,

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, to be able to talk. Because the decision

178
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: didn't come from the people at Fatherly and the dad.

179
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: The decision came from the President's side, like they had

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: ultimate final approval and they looked at who was on

181
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: the list and that one like if you look bro

182
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: on my ig, that's why if you go back a

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 4: little bit of my ig from a couple of months ago,

184
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: I like posted a picture of my son and shit

185
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: like that was me subliminally communicating with Obama's people, I

186
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: don't post my child a lot like theycas. No, I

187
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: have a child, but I don't be posting them every week.

188
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: Lou at Masan Fatherhood. I played that shit up so hard?

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 5: Was it the picture you had of you, like, I

190
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: think you're on a PST or something when he was

191
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 5: first born and then cradled him up again, there was

192
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 5: that thingure, Yeah, I know exactly what. Yeah, that was hilarious.

193
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the day my son was born. So my girl

194
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: had had a long labor or whatever, like it was

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: one of those she wasn't even supposed to have the

196
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: baby for another week, but it was one of them.

197
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: All Right, you're in labor, but you're a week early,

198
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,439

Speaker 4: Let me get two days off real quick. You know,

205
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 4: they say this shit is special, So let me see

206
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: what this having a child shit hitting.

207
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: And so.

208
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: So this shit talking about.

00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 8: And so I.

210
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: Get to my kid, and all I did BRO was

211
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: played MLB the show on PlayStation Vita, like in between

212
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: her contractions, like when the contractions were like two hours apart,

213
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: and she would go to sleep limit in the game.

214
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: And so then my son was born as beautiful but

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: newborn sleep Bro the mofucker's be sleep. He was sleep

216
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: like six hours. And there was some there was some

217
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: nigga who saw that picture and took it and put

218
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: it on his fucking ig put it on his ig

219
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 4: story like a fucking coward. Don't be this man, as

220
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: if to suggest that you have this new born, beautiful life.

221
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: Why would you dare be playing a game, my fucker.

222
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: When that picture was taken, he'd been sleep four hours.

223
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 4: Fuck him.

224
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: I was holding them.

225
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 4: It was as beautiful as is, but also I'm in

226
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs with the Cubs. Your Carrie Outa's hot right now.

227
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, it was wait in that process.

228
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: Then people understand until you've been through the fucking eighteen

229
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: hour labor and the kids sleep for the first week

230
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: that they're alive one hundred everyone's playing video games.

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 4: And so what was wild about it is that because

232
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: it took a week for my son to come, those

233
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 4: three four days that I thought, because you know, when

234
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: you get the call, you're like, oh, it'll be two days.

235
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 4: I get to hospit on like a Monday. My boy

236
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: wasn't born until like a Sunday. Meanwhile, it's the middle

237
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: of an election year and a job that I just

238
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 4: got that could literally change my career. So you know,

239
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 4: my son was born and I was probably there for

240
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: like another two days, and then I had to go

241
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: back to work because that job became the ultimate insurance

242
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: and being able to be a provider, and like, ultimately,

243
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: what you don't want as a dad is to always

244
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: have to choose between being a father and being a provider.

245
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: But at that time, in that moment, I need to

246
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: go provide, because oh my god, this is gonna cost

247
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: a lot of goddamn money. Like like when you're in

248
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: the hospital and you just see him willing in machines

249
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 4: and ne we're gonna do this. They don't tell you

250
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: none of the vices.

251
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: With the squeaky wheel, you know, like everything they wheeling.

252
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: Oh, they looking my boy up to all types of shit,

253
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: And I'm like, okay, like that ain't brought you no menu.

254
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: You don't know what this shit costs. What the fuck?

255
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's the I'm like, I need to go

256
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: back to work. I'm gonna come back and check on

257
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: y'all in a week.

258
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: Arsa was in the nick you for a week after

259
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: he was born, and the final bill they sent us,

260
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: we have health insurance, so I'm to still afford to

261
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: breathe and talk to you right now, it was two

262
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two thousand dollars.

263
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 4: Why did they do that? Why did they show you

264
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: what they could have fucked you with? Just tell me

265
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: the final price.

266
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: To scare the fucking shit out of you.

267
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, scare the fuck at you, like you better keep

268

Speaker 5: that job with those fucking benefits, motherfucker. Yeah, that's exactly

269
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: what that shaid.

270
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: That shit is shade, bro, it's very shady.

271
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: We paid the deductible, which we had shitty insurance, so

272
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: it was more money than we put vincent on the

273
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: credit card, you know, I mean, and we fucking had

274
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: interest or whatever.

275
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 5: We fucking figured it out. That's so wild.

276
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 8: Fuck capital you gotta put a kid on a payment plan, man,

Speaker 2: Man.

282
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: I found out about The Daily Show and my girl's

283
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: pregnancy within like two or three weeks of each other.

284
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: So it's like, oh, and then when you start a

285
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: show like The Daily Show, you know a lot of

286
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: you know, nobody talks about this shit but Late Night.

287
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: But when you're new and Late Night, whether you're a

288
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: writer or a corresponding or whatever the fuck your own camera,

289
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: anybody other than the host, you get a four month contract.

290
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 4: You get four months to prove whether or not. It's

291
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: like that, it's like a twelve day what was it, NBA.

292
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, ten day contract. What I was about to say sounds.

293
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 4: Like it's a ten day contract. And if you ball out,

294
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: then you get stability, then you get to breathe. So

295
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: you know, there's always this idea like I've heard of

296
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: people taking like retro paternity leave and shit like now

297
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: that we're having that conversation as a country, and I

298
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: might low key going come back and gone get them gone,

299
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: let me go and get that three months of paternity

300
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: about your traffic, because when I got hired, you know,

301
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 4: I kind of miss time that pregnancy right up against

302
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: an election and Trump and Hillary is really wanted to

303
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: be there for your brother. But na that Joe Biden's

304
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 4: in office, I think I kickback.

305
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: That's so wild. I never knew that because you know,

306
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, like, you know, of course, you

307
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: know everyone knows the grind that comedian staff and Daily

308
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: Show is when you popped up on a lot of

309
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 5: peoples right now, I popped up on my radar on

310
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: Daily Show, Like, and I think that a Daily Show gig,

311
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: that is like a comedian quote unquote making it. And

312
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 5: you're like, nah, motherfucker, that's just the tryouts for real,

313
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, that's the final cut. That's why. So, like,

314
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 5: how did it feel knowing that, Yo, I gotta nail

315
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 5: this shit because I got another mouth to feed that

316
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 5: I don't know.

317
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm better under pressure, just generally speaking, I'm better at

318
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: the last minute. I'm a procrastinator. I'm better in the

319
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. You put my back against the wall. I

320
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: just figure it out because I will say it, and

321
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: I've said it truthfully. You know, my son has probably

322
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: been the best motivator for me career wise, because it

323
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: snatches the safety net from underneath you. Of like I

324
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 4: was fine. I was living comfortably without without a child,

325
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: like you and me me together. Yeah, oh shit, baby, Okay,

326
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: let me start doing the math. And then the jokes

327
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: started getting more precise, and then you started picking dates

328
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: that are actually road dates that are actually beneficial to

329
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: your craft. And so you know, until they moved to

330
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: New York, when he was like five or six months old,

331
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: you know, I was doing a lot more West Coast swings.

332
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 4: So now it's all right, well, I only have three

333
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: days to do this, this, and this, so this joke

334
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: has to be good because I need to get rebooked

335
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: here next year to get ready for the hour special.

336
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: So I can't fuck off this year at this club

337
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 4: where that might have been a club where Yeah, it's

338
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 4: a fun time, but I go out and drink. No,

339
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 4: I'm going home. I'm listening to audio and I'm tightening

340
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 4: up these bits, and I'm coming back tomorrow and I'm

341
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: trying out ten new minutes in the middle of the set,

342
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: and then I'm listening to the audio between you show.

343
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: Hey man, we're in the green room. Can we come

344
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 4: backstage and hang out with Nah? Don't. I got shit

345
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: to do. And so that shift started happening, and it's

346
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: made me extremely more efficient.

347
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 8: You know.

348
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: I just think that when there's pressure involved, you know

349
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 4: things I don't know, you change, It just changes you

350
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 4: a little bit.

351
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: When did you really know that you could do this

352
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: and make money? It seems really hard to be a comedian.

353
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: You're bearing your soul in front of the entire planet,

354
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And there's no guarantee where

355
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: that goes. When did you know what made you want

356
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: to do this? And when did you know that I

357
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: could definitely do that I can make money doing it.

358
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: I got lucky bro well to the BACKLF. I'll answer

359
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: the back half of that first. So I don't really

360
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 4: care much about people's opinions of me or not liking me.

361
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: So twenty ten Last Comic Standing Season seven. This was

362
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: twenty ten. It was a very interesting year on Twitter

363
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 4: because that was kind of the beginning of the concept

364
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 4: of live tweeting and this idea of establishing a hashtag.

365
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: It's you wouldn't even think twice about it now, but

366
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: you know, ten twelve years ago, that was new to

367
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: be on a show and to actively have conversations with

368
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: people on the Internet. So NBC made all of the

369
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: comedians that were in the finals in the top ten.

370
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: NBC made all the comedians that were in the top

371
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 4: ten of Last Comic Standing live tweet every Monday night

372
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: under the Last Comic Standing hashtag or whatever the fuck

373
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: that LC. I don't remember the hashtag. So in real time,

374
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: every Monday night, while the episode is airing, you're seeing

375
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: people say horrible shit about your stand up, like just

376
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: motter fuck ain't funny? Racism. Now within there are supportive

377
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: hah aha, I love this, And those are the tweets

378
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 4: you're supposed to single out and reply to and engage

379
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: the fan. But contractually we had to do that shit,

380
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 4: and you had to read the worst fucking shit about

381
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 4: you every fucking Monday night, Bro. Then three hours later

382
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 4: the fucking West Coast feed runs, So now you gotta

383
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: do it again for the West Coast. So that goes

384
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: on for two and a half months because I made

385
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: it all the way to the finale and got third place.

386
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: So for two and a half months, every Monday night,

387
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: I read the most horrible shit said about me. And

388
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: by the end of it, I was like, Oh, these

389
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 4: people are just angry and they just need to release

390
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 4: and I'm just the person that they released on that day.

391
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: It's not a big deal. And internet haities never bothered

392
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: me since it's never bothered me since it did before that,

393
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 4: you know, with like YouTube comments. You know, when I

394
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: used to do the print calls way back in the day,

395
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: you know, it'd be some people that had opinions about that,

396
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 4: and that used to fuck with me a little bit.

397
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: But that run of live tweeting that summer in twenty ten,

398
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 4: it changed everything. I'm so careful on the internet, bro.

399
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: I don't even block niggas on Twitter. I don't. It

400
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: literally can't bother me. The only thing I fuck with,

401
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 4: the only thing I take seriously is death threats. But

402
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: even that that just depends on it, Like it has

403
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 4: to be a very specific daily show piece that will

404
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: bother so to the point of bearing my soul. I

405
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: don't your fuck out say whatever, And if you don't

406
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: like it, that's fine. You can thumb down my videos.

407
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 4: Every now and then, though, just to be an asshole,

408
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 4: somebody will say some slick shit. Somebody will say some

409
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: slick shit. I am petty. You know I'm insensitive. You

410
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 4: know I might not be sensitive, but I am petty,

411
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: say some slick ship. Matterfuck, I got a YouTube channel, Well,

412
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: I got a burner, and I'm gonna go through and

413
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna talk ship, and I'm gonna say because here's

414
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: the thing. This is the other thing that I learned

415
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: when it comes to insults on the internet. The quick

416
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 4: ship doesn't bother people. You ain't funny, you ugly nigga,

417
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: you fat, you look like Martin Luther King, all right, whatever.

418
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: But when you leave specific, that's.

419
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: That's all in the game.

420
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 4: That's all in the game. But the way you really

421
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 4: touch somebody's fucking self esteem and their soul is a

422
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 4: full blooded critique and analysis of why what they did

423
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 4: didn't hit the mark, because that will make them question

424
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: their fucking goals every morning. Now that ship I'll do sometimes,

425
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 4: I'll do that, Sinister, You're not.

426
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: Just petty dog.

427
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: No, that's fair.

428
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: You're the joker.

429
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: That's fair. You're throwing negativity at me, and you're also

430

Speaker 4: a content creator. All right, dambits, nigger, watch this. We're

00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 7: I have a question relating to positivity. The first time

471
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 7: we interacted was due to my exercise post. When I

472
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 7: thought I was sharing something interesting with people.

473
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 5: I was literally shocked by the answer.

474
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: They hold on, hold on for people who are for Roy's,

475
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 2: people who have not listening to this podcast and heard

476
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: us broke. John John posted that he what's it called

477
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: a murphy? Nigga's a nigga, but I'm gonna murph, which

478
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: was a file and a bunch of fucking pull ups

479
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: and squats and push ups and ship and then another.

480
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 4: It was an ungodly amount of strong man.

481
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 5: Let's but let me let me say this, let me

482
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 5: read this to get the problem this first.

483
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: I gotta say I don't know, no nigga, no, no,

484
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this ship first.

485
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 5: I'm a nigga. I don't watch CrossFit. I don't know

486
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 5: what the fucking murph is. My trainer asked me to

487
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: do it, and I'm dumb.

488
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 6: I don't all I'll say that when it comes to

489
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 6: ship like that and be like Okay, fucking let's see.

490
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: But I didn't know what the fucking MRF was another

491
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: that ship. I tried it. But go ahead, Tyler, say

492
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: what you gotta do. This is not about you not

493
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 5: being locked into the cross training world. This is about

494
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 5: you not having a grasp on the capabilities of the

495
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: average human. That's what this is about. All right, I'm

496
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 5: gonna read the tweet now. If you want to be

497
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 5: stupid like me, please try this like thirty took the

498
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 5: sinach beat my whole ass. Okay, these are the exercises.

499
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 5: Did mile run, one hundred pull ups, two hundred pushups,

500
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 5: three hundred body weight squats, and then another mile run

501
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: in thirty minutes. I was thirty eight minutes. But I

502
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: said I'm stupid. I said I'm stupid in the tweet.

503
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I said it beat my

504
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 5: fucking ass.

505
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 4: So I was a knitting Okay, my question, that's fair

506
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 4: to you?

507
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 5: How should I have approached that?

508
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: The idea is that here, here's where it came across

509
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: as it came across as a humble brag because you

510
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 4: completed it. So to the average out of shape nigga

511
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 4: like myself, you're doing things that I can never do,

512
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: and I know that it beat your ass, but in

513
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: my eyes, you completed it. Me you're crazy because I

514
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 4: could never fathom doing that many things in a month,

515
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: and you did them all in under an hour, under

516
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: forty minutes. You're talking to Niya right now. That runs

517
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: like a twelve minute mile last time, so off the top,

518
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 4: that's twenty four minutes of the thirty eight and you

519
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 4: did another four hundred reps of activities, which with the

520
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: time left we just do.

521
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: No.

522
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, bro, like that's that's where the

523
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: shock was, like, Oh, you're crazy. Why would you do

524
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: that to yourself in the heat?

525
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: We told him it's because, like you brought time into it,

526
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like if you just said, Wow,

527
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: feeling really accomplished today. I did all this shit today.

528
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 5: But you're like, in about thirty minutes, thirty minutes, But

529
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: I am one hundred pull ups, bro. I have couples

530
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 5: saying I will not do one hund your total pull

531
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 5: ups from now until the day that I died. I

532
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: would wager money on there. And you did that shit

533
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 5: in thirty eight minutes.

534
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: Here's here's what you have to remember about hate, though,

535
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: hate more often than not is people not being happy

536
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: with their own self. So rather than applaud you, as

537
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: we should have on your journey, because here's the thing.

538
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: If you'd posted a picture of yourself out of shape,

539
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: if you'd posted a picture of yourself out of shape

540
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: with that same fucking with that say, same tweet, and

541
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: you just post a picture of yourself out of shape

542
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: and I used to be this, but today I did.

543
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: Eight miles of motherfuckers would have applauded you. It had

544
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: eight thousand red tweets, and people would have been asking

545
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: you to come on their fitness podcasts and talk about

546
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: your fucking journey through fucking weight loss. But because you

547
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: just said, man I did all this shit, was like, well,

548
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: fuck him.

549
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: I was really like, hey, try some dumb shit with me.

550
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was the thing that people did.

551
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: And he was like, nigga, are you joining the war?

552
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: Like is there a populpse coming? Let me know so

553
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: I can prepare myself.

554
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: That was my reply to you was when do you

555
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: get deployed?

556
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: That's right.

557
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: What's funny about that is I thought about joining the military,

558
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 6: like I just thought about it as my fresh my

559
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 6: freshman year of college, and my mom was like, bro,

560
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 6: we ain't.

561
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: We ain't going to war to fight for the white man.

562
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: Not no damn bush out here.

563
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: You know.

564
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: So my family is anti Dad. It was like, take

565
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: your ass in college, feel me.

566
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: So my father, I didn't know that was a big

567
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: My father was an embedded reporter with black platoons in Vietnam.

568
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: Like he volunteered to go to Vietnam to see the

569
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: racism they were experiencing up close, which I think is

570
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: some wild shit. But you know, he's a journalist, and

571
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 4: you know, to be a black journalist in the sixties,

572
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: whatever you covering was gonna be dangerous if it was

573
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: about black people. So he wasn't very keen on the military.

574
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: My mom was indifferent. There there was a lady, How

575
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: could I tell this story tactfully? My next door neighbors

576
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 4: side chick came to fight his wife. It's just a

577
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: regular summer day in Birmingham, and this woman pulled up

578
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: to the house to fight Miss Murray over her husband.

579
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 4: The woman that pulled up to the house was in

580
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: full This was like ninety two ninety three, Like the

581
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: nigga just got back from desert storm, like she had

582
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: the rucksack and a car, like she came straight from

583
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: the airport straight first day of leave. She came to

584
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: fight this woman over her man or whatever. And Miss

585
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: Murray fucking dish rag, this fucking United States veteran fucking

586
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: drug her across the fucking front yard like one of

587
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: them fights with niggas is tooting the horn as they

588
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: passed by, which is like the ninety three equivalent of

589
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: yelling World Star.

590
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: Like so.

591
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: And so when I went to consider enlisting, and I

592
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: was in high school LLTC, I did boy scouts all

593
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 4: the way through ALLTC, I like all that at Venture

594
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 4: forest jungle shit. And then when I really sat and

595
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: thought about the four year active, four year reserve commitment

596
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: I was making, and what I really learned anything, and

597
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: all I could think about was Miss Murray beating that

598
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: woman ass in her full class A uniform medals. Flynt

599
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 4: you earned these fucking medals fighting Iraqis and shit, and

600
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 4: just got snatched about her fucking medals and like, that's

601
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: that's my image of the army. It's that woman. That

602
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 4: woman can ass beat. And I was like, I can't, World,

603
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: that's a tough hit for the brand for sure. If

604
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: it hadn't have been in uniform, I'd have been alright

605
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: with it. But she got whooped in uniform, bro, like

606
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: you fresh from fighting. So like for all the ship

607
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: my dad told me about the black man and a

608
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: white man's army and all that that didn't do ship.

609
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: I was still thinking about it. But when I saw

610
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: that woman, I said, man, I ain't gonna learn nothing.

611
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: She couldn't beat Miss Murray.

612
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 5: Like she put that outfit on that day knowing she

613
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 5: was going to Miss Murray and got her ass me

614
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 5: like you lacing them big ass boots up and got

615
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 5: your ass brass.

616
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: I said, family, let me take my ass to college

617
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: and go and get me some fucking And I think

618
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 4: that's kind of you know, what's wild about it is that,

619
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: you know, it's crazy how certain choices can influence, you know,

620
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 4: the butterfly effect of whatever. Because I do think in hindsight,

621
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 4: what I definitely needed was discipline. You know, I didn't

622
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 4: have a lot of that. You know, my pops died

623
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: when I was sixteen. He was in and out the

624
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 4: house to begin but you know, he was a good father.

625
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 4: He wasn't the best husband, but you know, there was

626
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 4: enough of a presence. But when you lose your pops

627
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 4: at sixteen, there's still a stretch from sixteen to twenty

628
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 4: five where you're that is your dumbest period as a man.

629
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 4: I believe if you can get on the other side

630
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 4: of twenty five, then you're out of trump. You start

631
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: your stupidity starts to subside a little bit. And so

632
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 4: sixteen was peak dumbass for me. And so by the

633
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 4: time I got to college, my mom still in Birmingham.

634
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: My fuck, I'm down in Tallahassee. We wilding the fuck out.

635
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: And so that's when, like, the thing that's interesting about college,

636
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 4: like socially to me is that if you go to

637
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 4: college out of state, you have an opportunity to get

638
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: a new identity. You know, you can literally conjure up

639
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 4: whatever persona you want. And so to go from a

640
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 4: kid who I was never in the same school system

641
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: more than two years until high school, so there's always

642
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 4: kind of this outsider kind of mentality that I've always carried.

643
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 4: And you know, I had friends in coll In high

644
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 4: school and shit, and we were cool. But college was

645
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: the first time I felt like I immediately fit in

646
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: and the plug was being able to s I was

647
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 4: the plug on getting fresh clothes. So if I could

648
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 4: steal these clothes, if I can run credit cards and

649
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: steal close, then that gives me access to people. And

650
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: so you don't even think about the repercussions of shit

651
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 4: like that, And so you know, two years in the

652
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: shit hits the fan, you lose all your friends. And

653
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 4: comedy was the one thing that I'd always thought about doing.

654
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 4: And I was like, you know, well, I'm finna go

655
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 4: to prison. Fuck it, get his shit a try, like

656
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: straight up at a quarter pointed attorney, bro, And this

657
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: nigga is like, yeah, man, it's January, get your affairs

658
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 4: in order. You're facing five, you'll probably get three. You'll

659
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 4: probably do a year and a half with good behavior.

660
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 4: You're a young man with no priors, you're in college,

661
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 4: you have a job. This should all work towards you

662
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 4: in sentencing. So from January to June, my sentence was

663
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 4: in June. I took the plea in January. So from

664
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 4: January to June, I'm suspended from school. Fam you sends

665
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 4: me a letter and a nigga, don't come on campus.

666
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: See I don't remember the exact wording that was the basic,

667
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 4: the basic. You're not expelled, but motherfucker get the fuck

668
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 4: on for a little while. So I have, And so

669
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 4: this is going back to what I was talking about

670
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: about luck. So I'm nineteen at this point. I have

671
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: two roommates. My share of the rent is three hundred

672
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 4: and seventy five dollars. This includes cable. Only thing I

673
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 4: gotta cover outside of that is a forty dollars sell

674
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 4: phone bill. I could work at Golden Corral twice a

675
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 4: week and make that three seventy five and cover that

676
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 4: for the month. Every other day that month was my

677
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 4: own to do whatever I wanted to do with So

678
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: I would get on the Greyhound and go do comedy.

679
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: I would just travel to open mics wherever the fuck

680
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 4: they were in the South, and fucking I would. I

681
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 4: would get on net skating navigator cause I'm old, shout

682
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: out to the old school shit, and I would travel

683
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 4: and do stand up. I would take the bus up

684
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: to Atlanta and go do uptown and shit, take the

685
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 4: Marta back to the Greyhound station, take the Greyhound back

686
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: my bike chained up outside the Greyhound station, ride that

687
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: bitch back to Golden Corral. So that was the move

688
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 4: for about six months. June comes, I go to sentencing.

689
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: I figure I'm going to prison. My house is packed,

690
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 4: I'm ready to go to prison, and motherfucker gave me probation.

691
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 4: To this day, I can't tell you why I don't

692
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: just gave me probation.

693
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 5: Woke up on that.

694
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 2: Wife gave him a blow job or something like literally

695
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: could be like literally could be anything that completely change

696
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: your life.

697
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 4: Sentence sings so ironclad. My lawyer didn't even bother showing

698
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: up for it. And then I called him, Yeah, bitch,

699
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 4: I'm free. Oh call him over some unexpectedness.

700
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 5: No thanks to you, because no thanks to you. Motherfucker

701
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 5: called him mad.

702
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 4: I guess he thought I was gonna come fight him,

703
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 4: but I'm like, bitch, I'm free. I'm nothing to fuck

704
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 4: up again. So I'm still from school, right, And so

705
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 4: now I got my whole summer back to just fucking

706
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 4: work the road and I'm still three seventy five rent.

707
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 4: So then I get back, I get reinstated back in school.

708
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 4: So family sends me another letter. I ah hate a nigga.

709
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 4: You can come back, come back to school, but you

710
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 4: can't pleasure no fraternity. It's I don't I don't know

711
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 4: what the type of probation it's called, but it was

712
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: exactly what I needed at that time. But basically, you

713
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: can't do shit but go to class. You can't even

714
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 4: go to the cafeteria. My nigga, go home, go home?

715
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 4: Are you on the mill plan? No good, go home,

716
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: come to class, get your degree, and fucking no flag football.

717
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: Like people are always asking me, why didn't you pledge

718
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 4: no fraternity? Mother fuck I couldn't.

719
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: I was.

720
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 4: I was told to go home and all of the

721
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: f I had activities on campus. Motherfucker. I am not

722
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: getting expelled over some fucking learning how to step and

723
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 4: snump and like, I'm sorry, I'll learn that shit later.

724
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 4: So all I do is go to class. But because

725
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm working the road regularly now, because I spent the

726
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 4: whole year just working, working, now, I'm a working MC

727
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 4: in like five different states. So I stacked my I

728
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 4: stacked my stand up gigs Tuesday through Thursday, Thursday night

729
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 4: hoped the Greyhound Monday morning, Greyhound back, take a night class,

730
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: take classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, work Golden Corral Tuesday Wednesday,

731
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: Thursday night. My schedule was so tight. The only day

732
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 4: I could study was Tuesday. I made the Deans list

733
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 4: the rest of the time I was in school because

734
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 4: it was just about efficiency. And so by the time

735
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: I graduated, I say all of that to say, and

736
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 4: this goes back to the original question of trusting yourself

737
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 4: and betting on yourself.

738
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 7: I was.

739
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 4: There was a lot of fucking focus and a lot

740
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: of fucking luck my mother once I made Dean's lists.

741
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 4: My mom did not like me doing comedy, but she

742
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 4: also did not like me sleeping in a bus station,

743
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: so she put down on the forward focus for me.

744
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 4: That was my first like real, real car. And what

745
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 4: having a car did was take the greyhound out the equation,

746
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 4: so now I could go further. So now I was

747
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: performing in like eight nine states across the Southeast while

748
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: I was a full time student. And so when I

749
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 4: got out of school, because all I did was stand up,

750
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 4: I never did an internship, so I couldn't get no

751
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: fucking job offers when I got out of college because

752
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 4: I had no fucking experience other than the campus paper,

753
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: which I was sneaking and doing because you ain't supposed to,

754
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 4: motherfucking be on campus. Motherfucker, I'm writing for the.

755
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 5: Campus underground railroad journalists.

756
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: Real shit, real shit. I would type my fucking artiment.

757
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: So but you a masco on major yeah yeah, yeah yeah,

758
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: journalist broadcast, so I would t But I was doing

759
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 4: printing radio. I was interning at a radio station off campus,

760
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 4: cause I couldn't even work at the campus radio station

761
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 4: when I was back in school because Nick could go home.

762
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 4: So you still figure out ways to still hustle. But bro,

763
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 4: I was writing articles for the campus paper at my house,

764
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 4: putting them on floppy disk and passing them shits off

765
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: to my fucking assignment editors, and they was getting run.

766
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 4: So technically I still wrote for the campus paper. I

767
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 4: was just never in the office. So you start figuring

768
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: out these grifts, and you know, like that's why, like

769
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 4: when you look at cats that hustle and cut corners, man,

770
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 4: these motherfuckers they know what they're doing. It's just misapplied purpose,

771
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: you know. And so when I came out of school,

772
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 4: I had essentially no job. I had two job offers,

773
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 4: both of them was paying like twelve five. I did

774
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: the math on my stand up money. At this point,

775
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 4: I'm three, It's two thousand and one. I did the math,

776
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 4: and I had. I figured I would make seventeen to

777
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 4: five that year doing stand up, and so well, it

778
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: ain't no sense in fucking doing journalism, nigga making more

779
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 4: money telling jokes. So essentially those first three years, those

780
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 4: first two three years of stand up while I was

781
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 4: in college, the suspension year in my junior senior year,

782
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 4: those three years I basically all of the broke nigga

783
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: years that you have as a performer. I had, but

784
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 4: I was insulated with roommates. I was insulated with a

785
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 4: car that my mom was helping me make payments on.

786
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: I was insulated with being able to focus on other stuff.

787
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 4: I didn't have a family, I didn't have fucking kids.

788
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 4: I wasn't out in the real world paying all of

789
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 4: these goddamn bills. So it was easy for me to

790
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 4: transition into stand up right after I graduated because I

791
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 4: just didn't have no expenses. And on top of that,

792
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 4: I went back to Birmingham and lived with my mom

793
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 4: for two years rent free will. I built all of

794
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 4: that shit, and so I never stopped hustling, but I

795
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 4: just didn't know what else to fucking do. This makes

796
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: me happy. I'm not in jail. I make money doing it,

797
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 4: so I'm not gonna stop. And so there was never

798
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: this thought of failure as this concept because this is

799
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 4: better than that, and it still is. So just don't

800
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 4: fuck this up, work hard, make connections, don't fuck it up.

801
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 4: And so every year, thankfully since nineteen ninety eight, has

802
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 4: been better than the year before. And so that's all

803
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 4: I fucking had. So that's why I like when a

804
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 4: nigga over thirty with kids be like, how I get started?

805
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 4: I literally don't know what to tell you economically. I

806
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 4: don't know how to tell you how to navigate this

807
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 4: because gas was a dollar to one when I started.

808
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 5: You know, what do you tell them? Niggas? Don't don't

809
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 5: get started, nigga, you wash. It's time to focus on jazz,

810
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 5: bed bro, pick.

811
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 4: Up that with that, get it with that guy from

812
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 4: Street Fighter, go home and be your family man. I

813
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 4: think that which brings me back to the job fair thing, right.

814
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 4: I think that if it's eating at you, it's always

815
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 4: going to eat at you, So you have to give

816
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 4: it a shot. You just have to figure out a

817
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: way to be economic about it. I think the more

818
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 4: important thing that niggas need over thirty, no matter what

819
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 4: it is, is this in stand up. This is just

820
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 4: about pursuing whatever it is that's eating at you that

821
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: you ain't tried to try. Yet more important than money,

822
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 4: you need people that are emotionally supportive. So you got

823
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 4: to rebuild your circle. The biggest mistake I made. I

824
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 4: had a lot of negative my fuckers around me in

825
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: my twenties and I opened for a lot of og

826
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 4: comedians that were bitter and angry at the game, and

827
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 4: that shit rubs off of you, and you picked that

828
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 4: shit up. So if you got people around you that

829
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 4: don't believe in they self, they ain't gonna believe in you.

830
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 4: And them niggas is a tax. There are fucking tax

831
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: on your soul and you won't realize it until you're

832
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 4: really trying to do something and somebody's trying to talk

833
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: you out of it. The same thing goes for anybody

834
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: you're dating. You got to reprogrammer. Look, I know you

835
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 4: thought you was buying into this, but this is where

836
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 4: I am now and this is what I'm with, So

837
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 4: I want to go pursue this. Yes, I know that

838
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 4: I used to be a marijuana lobbyist and that shit

839
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 4: made us money, but I'm telling you these gospel CDs.

840
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 5: CDs are coming back. What my nigga is really a comedian.

841
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 4: You've got to figure out the smart way of doing it,

842
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 4: the thing that you cannot do. And this is what

843
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 4: I try to tell you know, younger, newer, common start

844
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 4: and it's just be careful about trying to recreate the

845
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 4: footsteps of people you respect, because the game was different

846
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 4: for them. You gotta be a little bit ahead of

847
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 4: the curve. You gotta be on that Dane Cook put

848
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: thirty thousand on my MySpace page when nobody else was

849
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 4: betting on MySpace type shit. You know, you have to

850
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 4: figure out a way to find an audience and bring

851
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 4: them to you. I would never tell anybody to move

852
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 4: to New York at LA, but eventually you're gonna need

853
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: connections and you're gonna need to be plugged in, and

854
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 4: there's only so much you can do from Chicago or Atlanta.

855
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 4: You know, you can make a way for yourself. But

856
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: to me, all of that is triple a ball, which

857
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 4: is a great place to work the muscle and learning

858
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 4: the craft, but sooner or later you gotta be networking

859
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 4: with people that are making shit happen. So just watch your.

860
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: Circle a running theme on this show is we have

861
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 2: funny people on and then we end up becoming very inspired.

862
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: It's part of the interview man testimony of the alf Bro.

863
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Bro on the legend. We really

864
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: appreciate you.

865
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 5: Man.

866
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: That was that's a crazy story.

867
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 4: That's that's my life, man. I mean like it's I

868
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 4: just I'm blessed and lucky.

869
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 5: Man.

870
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 4: I'm very lucky to be able to have found my

871
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 4: passion at a very early age where failure wasn't gonna

872
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 4: be catastrophic to my life. And you know, I think

873
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 4: if you're past that point, you have to figure out

874
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 4: ways to just juggle the two. But just trust yourself

875
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 4: and don't listen to motherfuckers who don't believe any self.

876
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 4: Any nigga who ain't told you they dreams, what the

877
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 4: fuck they gonna tell you about yours? That's the first filter.

878
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 4: Anybody in your circle who you know, you know this

879
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 4: motherfucker told you shit about their hopes and dreams, Fuck them,

880
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: they gotta go.

881
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 5: You need to show do you need?

882
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 6: You need to tell a vision, like a whole ass

883
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,479
Speaker 6: show about your life.

Speaker 1: Bro, You know what I mean, because Jean's almost ruined.

Speaker 6: You Jeeves Cross prepair of Tommy jeans away here.

886
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: If I'd have caught the wrong judge on the wrong day, Bro,

887
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 4: I'd have been walking out of jail in two thousand

888
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 4: and two with no college credits and owen student loans,

889
