Speaker 3: You're funny as hell. And not funny because just funny

316
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: because my friends were funny too. It was because I

317
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: was very militant in college. Yeah, I was very pro black,

318
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: very African American studies. We started a group to the

319
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: chagrin of the president of the university, Stan Ikenberry, racist bastard.

320
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: We started a group where we wanted to learn about

321
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: pre slavery and post slavery.

322
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: We wanted to learn about us. And we started a book.

323
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: Club on our own, and we were able to bring

324
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: in speakers, Native American speakers and Latin speakers, historians Africanism

325
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: to teach us stuff. And so I became that dude

326
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: like militant, like school days like it was militancy. And

327
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: then we're and then at the time, you're listening to

328
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: hip hop KRS one, Public Enemy, you listen to Brand New,

329
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: but you're listening to Day You listening to a conscious

330
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: rap Queen Latifa was a conscious rapper, but he listened.

331
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: So we was militant, so I could I was able

332
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: to be funny talking about racism, talking about Oh yeah,

333
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: I was dope with it.

334
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: I would talk like that.

335
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: Imagine Malcolm X as a comedian, like if he was

336
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: just you know how sometimes they can be really funny.

337
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: But I'm yeah, I was like that.

338
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: I wasn't as like serious, but I was like silly

339
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: with it, but I was talking about real shit.

340
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: And that's why she was like, this is definitely because I.

00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: She was a rebound check from my other girl that

343
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: was on campus. But she was like she wrote one that.

344
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: She wrote down everything on a yellow legal pad. I

345
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: was just talking and she goes, I wrote down most

346
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: of the shit that you were so funny.

347
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: I wrote it down. We woke up. I said, what

348
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: the hell is all this this shit? You said yesterday?

349
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: Can you want to be a comedian? And now on

350
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: Club Shaysha, I brought her name. Her name was Toya

351
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: Dixon and I brought her name up and.

352
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: Her she was like, Yo, everybody's calling me, say you

353
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: brought my name up on club ship because you it's

354
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: the truth. Wow, you wrote that thing. And I said,

355
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: all right, when I get back to Chicago. I went

356
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: to the University of Illinois.

357
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when.

358
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: I get back to Chicago. I'm gonna go for open mics.

359
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: And that's how that shit started.

360
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: Now did you take the material that she had written down?

361
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: And I don't even remember where it was, but I said,

362
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to start doing comedy. And I started in

363
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: a comedy team with another guy for a year, and

364
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: then from there I did. I wasn't really digging that

365
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: because he wasn't as passionate as.

366
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I well, and I was gonna say, what's a comedy team?

367
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Team? You're doing sketches, Like yeah, I was right, this.

368
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Is this is but this was before sketches was a thing.

369
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: No sketches have been around before me.

370
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, you were doing it stand, but you

371
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: were doing it in the stage.

372
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: We do that.

373
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: We'd have my sketches like okay, and it was cool man,

374
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: and we had little costumes and dumb ship like that.

375
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: And then after that I was like this. I was

376
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: disgruntled about it because he wasn't as passionate as I was.

377
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: You have to be insane.

378
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: And I remember talking to Steve Harvey at this club

379
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: in Chicago called All Jokes Aside, and I was in

380
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 3: the hallway kind of pissing it.

381
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: Steve was like asking meuse, like, why what's up?

382
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I'm tired of Steve's not as

383
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: passionate as I am, he seems like.

384
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: And he goes, how much you're getting paid for it?

385
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: I said, we're getting like a hundred bucks.

386
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: And he goes, are you tired of? Are you tired

387
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: of splitting that ship? I remember he goes, cut his

388
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: ass and he just walked away that Steve Harvey said,

389
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: cut his ass.

390
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: I remember that ship.

391
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: And then at the time to Steve was Steve was

392
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: a headliner, Steve from County for a long ass time.

393
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 3: Like Steve was like a big dog, like as far

394
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: as the comedy scene, not super famous, but he was

395
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: a big dog.

396
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: Me.

397
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: I was just starting I wasn't even doing solo shit yet.

398
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: So he told me cut him you should you say

399
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: you got.

400
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: The skills, man, And so that's when I started doing

401
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: the solo shit. Wow.

402
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: Now did you have to meditate on it for a

403
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: minute or did you just know?

404
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: The next week, I was already because I was already

405
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 3: writing shit on the side.

406
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: In case this goes, no good goes left.

407
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to start doing stuff on my own. So

408
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: I started doing open mics by myself.

409
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, did you ever have a moment within that

410
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: window of I don't know if this is for me?

411
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Did you ever a bomb or?

412
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: As soon as I hit I was like, yeah, I'm

413
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: doing this.

414
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't care if you no bombing comes with it. Yeah,

415
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,960

416
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: know it? Yeah, yeah, I'm doing this.

417
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Once you got a taste, I was like, oh.

418
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm like, how I need I want to

419

00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: Now, how do your parents perceive this at the time? Yeah,

421
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm really I thought you were going to.

422
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: Do psychiatry school. You're a pre met psych major.

423

Speaker 1: I thought you gonna pre med psychic comic. Oh my goodness.

424
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's not a big stretch because a

425
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: lot of comedians were astrophysicists, lawyers, doctors.

426
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: A lot of people were like real professional.

427
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

428
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: I had another buddy.

429
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: He's passed, But Greg Giraldo was a fantastic comedian.

430
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: His son does comedy in New York now, Greg Giraldo Junior.

431
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: But he was amazing. He was a Harvard lawyer.

432
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: Wow, and then he'd gotten a comedy. So there's film majors.

433
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people have degrees in comedy.

434
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: But from a parental perspective, parents.

435
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: Were like, no, make sure you have something to fall

436
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: back on. I go, I'm falling back on this.

437
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: I love that.

438
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: Okay, but my father, that's cool, but make sure you

439
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,480

Speaker 1: And did you finish.

441
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, psychology degree.

442
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: And I think I've learned more about psychology living in

443
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: New York than any You don't need to go to

444
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: any psych ward or anything.

445
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: You just live in New York and a big psych

446
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: war and just.

447
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: Doing comedy is so Psycholog's so many psychological things in

448
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: comedy on why people laugh. I even had a book

449
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: about Freud and the Jokes in the Subconscious, which is

450
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: a little weird of a read. But I there's reasons

451
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: why people laugh. There's nostalgia, there's pain, there's there's relation,

452
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: there's all.

453
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: Kinds of shit. Oh.

454
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: I used to always I used always think it was

455
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: just like if someone can relate my favorite comics or

456
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: the comics that I can relate to. So I always

457
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: say my my toxic comics, like you're bil Bird, I'm

458
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: gonna call them Bilberd Sebastian like anyone that has the

459
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: toxic childhood. I'm like, those are my favorites, you know.

460
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can relate to them, it's great.

461
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: So I just assumed it was relatability.

462
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: Relate. First of all, you're gonna be who you are.

463
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: If someone doesn't get you, they don't get you. You can't.

464
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: Just as people, we don't get along with everybody. Some

465
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: people we click with, some people, some people we just don't.

466
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: That's the same thing with comedy.

467
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: It's like, some people ain't gonna fuck with you because

468
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 3: you say things they don't like.

469
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: Oh bye.

470
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: But that's the thing about comedy. Go find someone else. Yeah,

481
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: About when I got to I was in New York

482
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: in Chicago two three, years. Then I moved to New York.

483
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: That's when I think, yeah, five six years in. When

484
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: you go New York is a different attitude because it's

485
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: like you're around really dope, because I was around Chappelle, Seinfeld,

486
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: Gray Ramone and Bill.

487
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: Me and Bill came up, Bill Burr me Bill.

488
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 3: When Bill had hair red hair, I was, that's how

489
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: long I've known Bill red hair because me Bill, it was,

490
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: it was Robert Kelly, Keith Robinson. It was a lot

491
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: of us there, just a big group of us. Tracy Morgan,

492
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: we can keep going, Jimmy, I think.

493
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: New York comics when I go to LA. Not talking

494
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: smack about LA, but New York and LA are uncrible comparable.

495
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: New York's Landslide. New York is I'm sorry, we dusted off.

496
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,040

Speaker 2: Of course it is, And.

498
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,520

499
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: York cheats comics better than LA.

500
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: I think that I think it's the international thing too,

501
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 3: because in every almost every show there's we're from Scotland,

00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: you just want product from us, and we can't receive humanity.

1070
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: We're asking for humanity. You're making billions.

1071
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 3: Off of black culture. You want to talk about basketball

1072
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: for but you want to talk about all that shit.

1073

Speaker 1: It's the way we designed the table.

1079
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: It's not being pro blacklat Do you think.

1080
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: At times that that has hindered you?

1081
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: I guess though, But I just think me being black

1082
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 3: has hindered me because beans and rice.

1083
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,759

1086
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: like action figures. They choose what they want to be

1087
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:36,520

Speaker 1: I've never had a crush. I've never been able to

1155

1160
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: a good combination too.

1161
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is just so you know. This is

Speaker 1: Sweat right off the plane in the kitchen, in the

1165
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: kitchen sweating. Now when you see all these people that

1166
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: you were grew up basically we're in the trenches. But yeah,

1167
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: some of them hit the move. How does that? How

1168
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: do you deal with knowing that these people were your

1169
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: running mates and some of them have surpassed some of

1170
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 1: them may.

1171
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 3: Not have I'm happy for a lot of people, especially

1172
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 3: when they've worked hard. There's some people that go how

1173
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 3: but you could just be friends with the right person.

1174
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: It's all kinds of factors.

1175
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: So you but you do have that moment of because

1176
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: you deal with I'm like, shure.

1177
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: How you get that. That's normal. But there's healthy competition,

1178
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: there's inspiration.

1179
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 3: But then there's people that get to a level and

1180
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 3: there are pieces of ship George, the people that came

1181
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: up and I go, oh, I fuck you.

1182
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't play that shit. Ye I get anywhere.

1183
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: I don't even let it get to me like that

1184
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: because it's okay, that's great, but this is transient.

1185
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 2: It comes up and goes up and down.

1186
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1187
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 3: I always wanted to be able. If I in a position,

1188
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 3: I want to bring my friends with me. Man, get

1189
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 3: that guy or that girl.

1190
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 2: She's been working. I want that.

1191
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: But a lot of people will pull the ladder up

1192
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 3: and not want anybody to come up, which is insane

1193
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 3: to me, because you got up there through the help

1194
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: of others.

1195
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you come off that way. When I first met you,

1196
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: of course, everyone knows who you are and you walk

1197
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: in the room, we know who you are. But the

1198
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 1: fact that you're so approachable and oh yeah, sure, here's

1199
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: my number, let's set it up. I just want everyone

1200
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: out there to know that, Okay, without cameras, without anything,

1201
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: completely who you say you are.

1202
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just easier. I'm going to be two people.

1203
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: It's hard to be in your so you wanna be

1204
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,080

1209
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 2: from a building like home with that.

1210
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: But now it's so funny because I met someone that

Speaker 3: so forward. It was so great because I've been seven

1242
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: years over due to shoot my next special. Because some

1243
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 3: of these networks have ignored a lot of comedians for

1244
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 3: some reason.

1245
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: Because you noticed that always picked the same old people.

1246
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there the way of selection. Some

1247
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: of these comics, I just some of them are like

1248
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: I just go yeah. I'm like, but backtrack just a

1249
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: little bit because there's a question. You let it there.

1250
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: But what was that point in your career where you

1251
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,759

1333
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 3: don't do your impersonations right away. Make sure you build

1334
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 3: your material, and then when you bring in your your impersonations,

1335
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 3: it'll add to the arsenal. He was right, He was

1336
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 3: right on point. He said, don't do it too much

1337
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: because you look corny.

1338

1342
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 3: was like, okay, I'll save it. So then when I

1343
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: got I don't even have to do impersonation. Some guys

1344

Speaker 3: have to do an impersonation.

1345

Speaker 1: name of it? No, that's what's always Yeah.

1701
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 2: Our current know what it's all about. Live We've been

1702
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 2: lied to.

1703
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 3: It's all about being lied to about capitalism, and we

1704
01:12:58,640 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 3: lie to make money.

1705
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 2: It's all money and lies. It's called that's what's This

1706
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 2: theme is that I stopped believing in a lot of shit.

1707
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: And it's an hour said.

1708
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 2: The first show was our ten, the second was our forty.

1709
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, it depends what you cause, maybe I'll do Yeah, okay,

1710
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: I like that. And then, just while we're talking about

1711
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: this stuff, how do you feel about the state of

1712
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: some of these specials on Netflix.

1713
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 2: I think a lot of them are trash.

1714
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah too, because not because there's a hater thing, but

1715
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 3: as a critic a critique.

1716
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,440
Speaker 2: A lot of people are on there that are not ready.

1717
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 2: You can see it. They're not prepared for that. But

1718
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 2: I do think that not like the Chappelle's who know

1719
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 2: what you're doing, Bill Burdos what he's doing.

1720
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: But those are real comics that have been like George they.

1721
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 2: All know what they're doing, Blunell ever Quit. They know

1722
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 2: what they're doing. They have the time, they have the hours. Yeah,

1723
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 2: they have the stage time. But there's a lot that

1724
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 2: I go, what am I watching? Yeah, this is insane.

1725
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: That I've had somewhere I can't even make it past.

1726
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: But I will say this, there's one in particular that

1727
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: really stands out. Not going to say the person's name.

1728
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: It was so bad that I, when I say, was

1729
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: forcing myself and still couldn't make it till their minute

1730
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: thirty and then but the hype around them, because of

1731
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: the world we live in was like still hype. I

1732
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,839
Speaker 1: was very confused. But I think that the more Netflix

1733
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: does these wax specials, the less I'm me personally. Yeah, yeah,

1734
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: I'm not clicking on it anymore. Yea, even when I hear,

1735
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: especially if I hear the buzz online and I've done

1736
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: it again and another comic not saying names, who is

1737
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: really huge right now. People love them, and I'm just

1738
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: like no, And that's why I'm like, maybe it's me,

1739
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: but I just don't see it. Yeah, but I think

1740
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: it's also TV. Sorry to cut you off.

1741
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 3: When you have a machine behind you, they can get

1742
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 3: anybody to believe.

1743
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 2: I forgot what the name is called. It's not called

1744
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Softis Street.

1745
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 3: There's a name where you can talk and where you

1746
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 3: can lie and make it believable. If you keep talking

1747
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 3: about something enough, I believe it for it. There's a

1748
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:53,719
Speaker 3: name that what it's called.

1749
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's so or it's just if

1750
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:57,719
Speaker 1: they have a show or some pick up on social

1751
01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: media automatically.

1752
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 3: Behind you, bringing everybody you can sell. What is they

1753
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 3: even sell water? You can sell water to a fish.

1754
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 3: You do it the right way. Yeah, But I go

1755
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 3: and I watch, and I go as a purist, as

1756
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 3: a community purist.

1757
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 2: And people that I know that deserve, I go, what

1758
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 2: what is? What the fuck are we watching? What are

1759
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 2: we watching?

1760
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: That's me?

1761
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 3: I know it's numbers. I get that, of course, I

1762
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 3: know it's the numbers. Yeah, it's a business. But you

1763
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 3: put up somebody that's whack. Why don't you put somebody

1764
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 3: that's funny because people will go, oh, to just see this.

1765
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 3: It'll be because comedy, I believe has to be done

1766
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 3: properly for people to want to see that.

1767
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 2: That's what I think. I don't know.

1768
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: I think personally that the real comics are going to

1769
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: have to start staying away from Netflix. And I'm going

1770
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: to say why, because I feel like Netflix. Companies like

1771
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Netflix are starting to produce really whack specials and it's

1772
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: almost going to become unless you like I know now,

1773
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: unless I know that comic, I'm not trying them out

1774
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna try them out first on Netflix

1775
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: only because Netflix has delivered so many bad especially are

1776
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: and this is a non comic saying like a regular

1777
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: person saying I've seen too many. Out of ten specials,

1778
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: of two of them are decent, decent you're giving yeah.

1779
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: And then there's some comics that, for whatever reason, are

1780
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,919
Speaker 1: to me better in person than they are on specials.

1781
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Right, here's another thing.

1782
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 3: I give people a little bit of a pass when

1783
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 3: it comes to specials. I give people a little bit

1784
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 3: of a pass because the anxiety when you're trying to

1785
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 3: shoot one is and I'm glad that because people like

1786
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: the build up to my special was it's just a

1787
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 3: lot of stress. But because people are so much more

1788
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 3: excited than you are, They're like, yo, man, we come

1789
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 3: into my sister.

Speaker 2: Flu and my brother flew and my cousin's fluid.

1791
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: And people are getting dressed in the nine, so they're.

1792
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 3: Coming and hyped, and I gotta go, this is just

1793
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 3: a set I'm doing. This is the same set I've

1794
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 3: been doing. But I got decorations on the stage. Now,

1795
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 3: now there's a thing behind me. But it's the same

1796
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 3: shit I've been doing. So I had to take it

1797
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 3: like this is just another set. But it was a

1798
01:16:58,680 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 3: lot though.

1799

Speaker 2: think I'm good? Man, I'm good.

1802
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 3: I was just like in my head because you want,

1803
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: because you want to make sure all the technical shit

1804
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,440
Speaker 3: is right, because you do the rehearsals.

1805
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 2: I gotta do rehearsal for these jokes. I've been telling

1806

01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 2: But I was on stage but getting money, yeah, but

1854
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 2: sleeping on couch.

1855
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: Because you had to go through all the clubs in

1856
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: New York. You have to pass in every club they have.

1857
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: That is it chitling circuit or whatever?

1858
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 2: And the main I did both, okay.

1859
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 3: But what was great is like chilling circuit page well,

1860
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 3: but then added to the mainstream.

1861
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Because I could go both. It was like, oh man,

1862
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: I got that. Man, this is great per week in

1863
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 2: cash about fifteen or two thousand and can.

1864
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's going on is I was surviving like in

1865
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 3: most cities don't pay like that.

1866
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was having money in my pocket like stacks.

1867
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: Is there any club in New York that was hard

1868
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: to pass?

1869
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: So it depends it was a comedy seller.

1870
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 3: But then I got in the comic strip I got in,

1871
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 3: there was a lot. They were much more strict back then,

1872
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 3: but then they've been a little more because there's so

1873
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 3: many comedians now and a lot of clubs.

1874
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,759
Speaker 2: Are opening, so they need It's like they need.

1875
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 3: Content and a lot of people are comics because of

1876
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 3: clips and ship. Yeah, but I tell them, man, if

1877
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 3: you're in this, I hope you love it. Man, you

1878
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 3: better loved this ship because wait.

1879
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: It's downside. Given do you think the traveling can be

1880
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: considered a downside?

1881
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could be tiring, but you got to get

1882
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 3: to places people, and I would like you.

1883
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about her family and stuff like that.

1884
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: Does that ever get like hard family for me?

1885
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't have no kids. I have no kids. It

1886
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 2: can be, but at this point.

1887
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that's hindered the kid thing?

1888
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 2: I think maybe unless you did. I had a girl

1889
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 2: that for like years that she didn't know I'm kids,

1890
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 2: so I didn't think about it. Kids.

1891
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,759
Speaker 1: I have won, oh yeah, but I was just wondering

1892
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: if it hugh.

1893
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 2: To even have one.

1894
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not.

1895
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 2: I never I just never had. Yeah, maybe I never

1896
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 2: had baby Peou. Game was nasty like inside fastball bull one.

1897
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: Then next year I get a text like, oh I

1898
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: got one.

1899
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,799
Speaker 2: If it happens cool, I'm not neither here nor they.

1900
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get that fuck you money right now.

1901
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm going to have verge like you

1902
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 3: are clear finding it.

1903
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 2: I think there's a way to get to it, and

1904
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm around people go no.

1905
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 3: We can get to it. Just strategizing we can get

1906
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:31,600
Speaker 3: to it. And so if I get that, I'll be like,

1907
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind kid too, But I don't know who

1908
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 3: with because it's cycles.

1909
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fool is disgusting.

1910
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,759
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to me who have the kid with. Yes,

1911
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,080

Speaker 3: you think you're going to get famous a day because

1917
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 3: you see some media, because a lot of mediocrity makes it,

1918
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 3: but comedy doesn't.

1919
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 2: Is unforgiving.

1920
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:10,080

1944
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 3: take up Get the fuck off the stage. If you're

1945
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,800

Speaker 2: All right.

1947
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,680
