Speaker 1: me and Chappelle went to uh we went to Westwood
Speaker 1: High together in Mesa and uh shout out to the
Speaker 1: warriors man. Uh yeah, and like it's cool because like
Speaker 1: when we were in school, we were cool the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like we were kind of like kindred spirits,
Speaker 1: low key we we met. Uh. That teacher's name was
Speaker 1: Miss star Wark. Oh wow, but I don't remember what
Speaker 1: the class was. I remember that name though, Yeah, Miss
Speaker 1: star Work, and she was kind of I mean, she
Speaker 1: would go hard on us, I think just because we
Speaker 1: was you know, should google her, but I can't. This
Speaker 1: was like some like development like type class. I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what it was. I keep wanting to say humanities,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't humanity. There was something along that line,
Speaker 1: those lines star Wark star Work. Let's see if I
Speaker 1: could find her, Miss star Work. Yeah, teacher Westwood, Westwood, short,
Speaker 1: little lady with red hair. I think something like that
Speaker 1: with glasses. She ain't here, ain't on there. Her career
Speaker 1: didn't last that long. Probably probably not. You don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, if she's not on did you Did we
Speaker 1: have mister Green's class ever together? Which one was the history? No,
Speaker 1: we didn't have mister Green. I never had mister Green.
Speaker 1: He was fire. Yeah, that was like the chill dude.
Speaker 1: I feel like he was like getting high with students.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody says. That's that was. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like that was like Folkalore, though everybody would say that
Speaker 1: about like Miss Rowntree. Yeah, we had miss Rowntree. That
Speaker 1: ship was turned up. Yeah, Miss Rowntree was turned up.
Speaker 1: We had Miss Rowntree fire. I used to write people's
Speaker 1: essays in that class. Oh for real? Yeah, well she
Speaker 1: was English, right, English? Yeah, yeah, Miss Roundtree was fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's crazy. So okay, so we met in high school,
Speaker 1: and you know, it was interesting because at our school
Speaker 1: there was like we went to school with some Mormons, yeah,
Speaker 1: because we was a Mesa. We went to school some
Speaker 1: Native American folks. And then there was like the you know,
Speaker 1: Westwood is kind of like a nice gumbo pot of
Speaker 1: Mesa Arizona. Yeah right, because the res that's like the
Speaker 1: core of the Reds is there around. The school's kind
Speaker 1: of hood low key, and then like then there's just
Speaker 1: Mormons because it's Mason Mormons, a bunch of Tonguans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like it was, it's crazy because you were always
Speaker 1: like people always loved you in school and I feel
Speaker 1: like I knew your brother rest in peace too. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and your brother were cool. I forget. I think we
Speaker 1: had weight training together and he was always super so
Speaker 1: he always said great things about you. Yeah, but uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it was It was crazy because you were this black
Speaker 1: kid in high school who would wear these tight ass
Speaker 1: pants and these punk rock t shirts. I still do, right, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: but I just remember like being like yo, like like
Speaker 1: who is this guy? Like this ship is kind of dope.
Speaker 1: But you also were in the hip hop too, like look,
Speaker 1: that's why I said. One of one of my favorite
Speaker 1: memories of you was when when o dB died, you
Speaker 1: printed out a bunch of pictures of ODB and and
Speaker 1: and put type type rest in Peace, o dB, and
Speaker 1: you taped them all over the school. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite memories of you. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: shout out to old dirty bastard. Yeah, I remember that
Speaker 1: when that happened because I took one of the uh
Speaker 1: because I love Wu Tang obviously, and I took one
Speaker 1: of the papers or whatever, and I had it in
Speaker 1: my folder forever. Yeah, shout out to ODB man. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt like at school like I was like the
Speaker 1: music nerd dude, and yeah, you you were like the
Speaker 1: music nerd on the other stuff, on the other stuff,
Speaker 1: and then bruh, Okay, I'm trying to think if this
Speaker 1: is where you got your name? Okay, because I was
Speaker 1: selling CDs back then and donuts. Yes, he used to
Speaker 1: come to school with a double bag and it was
Speaker 1: so funny. He would sell them, but you would hook
Speaker 1: me up all the time. He used to just thrown
Speaker 1: to me for free. Everybody else he had a double
Speaker 1: bag full of like don't intimates and my mom was
Speaker 1: the manager of intimates but if you guess them all,
Speaker 1: so all the stuff that they were going to throw out,
Speaker 1: I would just take and then I would sell it
Speaker 1: at school. Dude, he was selling. I'd be posted up
Speaker 1: at lunch time. Duffle bag. The whole big old I had.
Speaker 1: It was a big ass duffle bag. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: was like and then the longer the day would go
Speaker 1: on and the doughnuts were still there, like the box
Speaker 1: would get more fucked up and I'd have to give
Speaker 1: them do it like, yo, look I got this box
Speaker 1: busted open. Yeah yeah, I used to do that all
Speaker 1: the time. Real yeah, man, that's crazy, so crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So uh we were to high school together for people
Speaker 1: who don't know you've been how you've been doing stand
Speaker 1: up for how long? What I'm doing it? Eight or
Speaker 1: nine years or something like that. I didn't even know

Speaker 1: because I had. You moved out of Arizona right after
Speaker 1: my brother had passed. I stopped Okay, that was he
Speaker 1: died in two thousand and thirteen, and then I and
Speaker 1: all of twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, I didn't do it,
Speaker 1: and then twenty sixteen, that is when I got back
Speaker 1: in it. Wow, So you you would move out of Arizona, right,

Speaker 1: another random thing. You were cheerleader, like a like a
Speaker 1: brilliant cheerleader. Yeah, that's something that caught everybody off. Fucking ninja.
Speaker 1: This guy was like a hardcore punk rocker who also
Speaker 1: was a cheerleader at the same time. Let me tell you, bro,
Speaker 1: I didn't give a funk about anybody. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1: up in whatever city you're in. They go to open mics, yes,
Speaker 1: and they say, like it sounds good to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a stand up comedian or whatever. I do stand up,
Speaker 1: but like to actually take it serious and and move
Speaker 1: your life to la and like really pursue it. Like
Speaker 1: what was the thing that made you take that leap?
Speaker 1: Like was there a specific thing that happened, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. I was working at a hotel in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: This was twenty seventeen. And now you know, like I said, like,
Speaker 1: and I had been back, you know, been back in

Speaker 1: uh I had to follow Burr one night, which was
Speaker 1: like insane because like going after him so funny and
Speaker 1: he's a month So like, okay, so we're backstage at
Speaker 1: the store, you know, in the main room. You've been there, right, yeah,

Speaker 1: and then we get you know, we just get going.
Speaker 1: So Bill walks in and he's like, Joe, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to go, you know a little earlyer than
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling too good. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: is he is he gonna go before me? Or after me?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because I was going. I
Speaker 1: knew I was going earlier on the lineup because it
Speaker 1: was it was a pretty stacked lineup, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there for like, you know, forty five
Speaker 1: minutes before showtime because we're all just chilling there talking
Speaker 1: and I'm just kind of like, what is he going up?
Speaker 1: You know? And then the sound guy comes back. He's like,
Speaker 1: all right, Joe, how are we doing this? He's like,
Speaker 1: all right, it's gonna go. Uh Derek Burr, Chappelle, AC
Speaker 1: and Tony hixclip me. And I was like all right,
Speaker 1: you know. And at that moment, which which was weird,
Speaker 1: immediately at that moment, I thought about everything I went
Speaker 1: through like in my life. It was like it was
Speaker 1: like the weirdest thing that was Like my first thought
Speaker 1: was like everything that I've been through, like all the
Speaker 1: crazy shit, you know, with my family, stepfather, losing my brother.
Speaker 1: I thought about all that, and then I looked at
Speaker 1: where I was and then I was like I could
Speaker 1: do this, you know. I was like I could do this.
Speaker 1: Did you kill it? Yeah? I actually did and the
Speaker 1: only way and like and like when I was up there,
Speaker 1: like it was just like going like people were laughing
Speaker 1: yet like you know, but what was funny? Like because
Speaker 1: this could knock you off your fucking socks, you know
Speaker 1: of course and uh when when when they bring Bill up,
Speaker 1: he got a standing ovation walking out, he's Bill Burr. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were not expecting him, right, you said no, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I I think I've been to a couple of
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan shows and I think like every time I go,
Speaker 1: someone just jumps on stage. Yeah, there's yeah, so like
Speaker 1: there's ship. There's certain cats that are like they call
Speaker 1: them drop ins. Yep, there's only certain cats like they
Speaker 1: got the pass. Yeah, like Chris Rock of course, you
Speaker 1: know Martin Lawrence. H yeah. Yeah. When those guys walk in,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, when do you want to go up? Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll put you one of them. Yeah, bro and uh
Speaker 1: yeah he got a standing ovation walking out. I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: you know you're getting this like getting that rush or whatever.
Speaker 1: But you know, needless to say, I was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know they already heard Bill Burr. They haven't heard
Speaker 1: me yet. So that was when you first moved out here. No,
Speaker 1: that was that was just that was almost a year ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I remember when you first moved out here, and
Speaker 1: I remember now when I moved out here, were you like, yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody moves out here. No no, no, no no, no.
Speaker 1: I broke with you. Chappelle. Got it. Like the thing
Speaker 1: is is like you'll just know people like got it,
Speaker 1: like like yo, like you could just like like you
Speaker 1: could do whatever you want because you're Chappelle, So if
Speaker 1: you wanted to do anything else, you could have did it.
Speaker 1: You were a cheerleader. Yeah, true, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like and so yeah, I was like, oh yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: Chappelle stand up. Of course. The guy's sucking was hilarious
Speaker 1: in school. He's the and he's the black guy with
Speaker 1: the punk rock t shirts. Like there's that's an angle
Speaker 1: for an entire sp special. I even think that. What
Speaker 1: was the one clip you did on Comedy Central I
Speaker 1: saw that was I was like, yeah, yeah, he's talking
Speaker 1: about his life. I was there, Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Speaker 1: like white friends and uh huh yeah ship. But yeah
Speaker 1: it was like, uh, I forget when I think, because
Speaker 1: I listened to Joe Rogan probably, if not every episode
Speaker 1: when he has some of the crazy cookie right wing dudes,
Speaker 1: I fall off. But yeah, but for the most part
Speaker 1: I probably listened to like almost I would say, eighty
Speaker 1: percent of all his shit. And and I remember he
Speaker 1: brought you up and I was like, oh shit, it's
Speaker 1: about to get real for this kid. Dude, he's like
Speaker 1: the king maker. Yeah, and it was so wild. Is
Speaker 1: that like literally, I haven't even been on this podcast yet,
Speaker 1: but literally anytime he says my name or anything like that,
Speaker 1: I just start like, all of a sudden, I start
Speaker 1: getting a bunch of follows and I'm like fuck, like
Speaker 1: what But it's like a lot at like a time
Speaker 1: in a wild way and I'm like the hell And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden my home, like some of
Speaker 1: my homies will be like, yo, I heard it Brogans
Speaker 1: talking about you right now. He said this, this and that.
Speaker 1: So how did you guys become friends? Bro? That was
Speaker 1: a random that like all the shit that happens to
Speaker 1: me so fucking because for people who don't realize, I mean,
Speaker 1: Rogan is the most successful podcast for ever, and for
Speaker 1: people who are watching this aren't tapped in with the
Speaker 1: stand up world, Like he's like low key to Kingmanger,
Speaker 1: like like like if you like if he like co
Speaker 1: signed you as a comedian. Oh, that's that's a big
Speaker 1: it's a big plug. It's a huge plug. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like that. They compare it to like Johnny Carson, like
Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah, if you got on Johnny Carson, Yeah,
Speaker 1: now if you go do Joe Rogan's podcast, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah you can at least go on tour.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you're gonna do good. Yeah. So you
Speaker 1: guys became friends. How so the Comedy Store has this
Speaker 1: so they have like they're paid regulars, right yep. And
Speaker 1: they have this program where like you work your way
Speaker 1: up into a paid regular called the development Spots. And
Speaker 1: that's what that's what that's like the status. I'm at
Speaker 1: there right now, and uh, I was going to do
Speaker 1: like one of my development spots. So like they put
Speaker 1: a development spot like right at the top of the show.
Speaker 1: They just go up and do like five minutes said
Speaker 1: blah blah blah spot for the for the week. And
Speaker 1: I was doing one, uh where Rogan was on the
Speaker 1: lineup and we were I am usually like when I
Speaker 1: first when I was first doing them, I would just
Speaker 1: kind of just sit there quiet, you know, just because
Speaker 1: all the big dogs are back there, and I kind
Speaker 1: of was just like chilling the corner, you know what

Speaker 1: the fuck is going on getting down with the get
Speaker 1: down crazy No. So yeah, like to give anybody like
Speaker 1: like kind of give people some background because for the
Speaker 1: people who don't understand how there's this black dude who
Speaker 1: cheerleaded and fucking loves punk rock music. How did you
Speaker 1: grow up because your brother was kind of a gangster
Speaker 1: low kid at school. Yeah, your brother was like he
Speaker 1: was like like, yeah, he was a goony on the football.
Speaker 1: Was like very we were. My brother and I were
Speaker 1: like when it came to like that stuff, right, like
Speaker 1: how did you get into all that? Like you know,
Speaker 1: obviously that was before the internet. Right now, I feel
Speaker 1: like people can get into any kind of music they
Speaker 1: want because it's so much easier to Yeah, oh back
Speaker 1: in the day, it wasn't even like that do that,
Speaker 1: Like literally I got up again. I got into all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Uh you know because my mom she loves music,
Speaker 1: and like our home was so hectic and shit, you
Speaker 1: know because of my stepfather crazy. Uh we we like
Speaker 1: she like that was the time I saw her at
Speaker 1: her happiest was when she was listening to music and
Speaker 1: she was playing like you know during that time, Like
Speaker 1: my earliest memories is like you know, Bobby Brown and
Speaker 1: like you know, uh fucking Brian McKnight, like all the
Speaker 1: h town like Joe to Cy, Like she was really
Speaker 1: into like a lot of that uh stuff, and she
Speaker 1: was always, you know, whenever she was like cleaning up
Speaker 1: or anything like, that was what she she got down with.
Speaker 1: And so I started getting into it. And then, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously growing up like in Arizona, you know more I
Speaker 1: feel like or like obviously West Coast hip hop was
Speaker 1: touching Arizona, so like, uh, you know, Snoop's first album
Speaker 1: was like one of my favorites. I just told this
Speaker 1: guy it just I think he just had an anniversary before.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite albums ever. Yeah, great album
Speaker 1: and better than Reasonable Doubt hair. Whoa you say that
Speaker 1: in public? My hair? Of course. Okay, I just know
Speaker 1: jay Z fans get crazy, but I'm a jay Z fan,
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, and then I just
Speaker 1: you know, switched to radio station. I heard some rock
Speaker 1: and I was like, damn, this is tight too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's the only station playing punk rock back then. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's so crazy. Yeah The Edge one of one three
Speaker 1: point nine. Yeah, so yeah, because you were like into
Speaker 1: some like real hard course ship though. Yeah, then I
Speaker 1: got into like all that, like the stuff that wasn't
Speaker 1: on the radio because none of that the radio because
Speaker 1: when I when I take a dive in music, Oh,
Speaker 1: I take a deep dive and I go like as
Speaker 1: far as I like, I can't, like I don't. I
Speaker 1: need to know it all right, Like that's just how
Speaker 1: I am. Is that? And that's because like I'm a
Speaker 1: big Henry Rollins geek. He is like that. Now, cheerleading
Speaker 1: that started in high school? Or did that start in
Speaker 1: middle school? I started in high school, So I started
Speaker 1: at Westwood? Yeah, and so like, what what was the
Speaker 1: was it to get pussy? Was it? Yeah? I did
Speaker 1: it because I liked the girl. Yeah, like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hang out with these but I didn't get her. Oh
Speaker 1: you did it for a particular girl? Which girl? You
Speaker 1: know her? You might have known her rist Lopez? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I played in a band with her brother. We
Speaker 1: were trying to do like a sky a sky band, right,
Speaker 1: and didn't even succeed. But that ended up breaking up.
Speaker 1: But I still jam what the hell's that name? We
Speaker 1: didn't even play shows. This was before Westwood though, ufore. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that drew my mind. But anyways, uh so I still
Speaker 1: jammed out with him, you know, because you know, you're
Speaker 1: trying to smash his sister. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: was trying to, bro, I would love her. You were
Speaker 1: trying to like take her on a date. Yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: like the kind of apple. I'm the kind of guy
Speaker 1: like I wasn't trying to like smash trying to take
Speaker 1: her to express Yeah. Yeah, I was writing like I
Speaker 1: was writing poems like I was right, damn, like I went,
Speaker 1: I went in, dude, you know that's how you got
Speaker 1: in the cheerleading. Yeah, that's crazy. And then but I
Speaker 1: already knew how to do flips and ship. I told
Speaker 1: myself that when I was like, I mean, it was
Speaker 1: like five when I taught myself how to do that ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Westwood High School games, the hot Pocket. Remember the
Speaker 1: hot Pocket? What was that there? Where everybody was just
Speaker 1: crazy and yah yeah yeah hot Yeah. There was like
Speaker 1: the professional like fans. Mm, we'd be like, why don't
Speaker 1: you just play football? Yeah exactly, it's like you guy,
Speaker 1: my boy like Dudley Hunter. Shout out to Dudley, but
Speaker 1: I remember he used to just paint himself every game
Speaker 1: and like like, bro, you're in shape, like go play football?
Speaker 1: Is in shape? Being an orange guy every Saturday? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Yeah? That shit's crazy. Like now with
Speaker 1: obviously with stand up man, like the natural progression is
Speaker 1: to start acting. Well now it's also podcast podcast, right
Speaker 1: yeah yeah what wild something you said earlier that I
Speaker 1: thought like that is very accurate as far as comedy goes.
Speaker 1: It's very comparable to hip hop, like as far as
Speaker 1: like the you know, everybody wants to say they yeah
Speaker 1: they do that, yeah yeah, wrap and everybody wants to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a comic, like because you you'll get cats that
Speaker 1: will go up and you're like, oh, you're just doing
Speaker 1: this because you want to say that you're a comic.
Speaker 1: You're not even like trying to do anything with it, which, like, honestly,
Speaker 1: this pandemic is I think it's clear that a lot
Speaker 1: of those fools out they got to move back home.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because they really realized their work. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I need to re evaluate myself because I need to
Speaker 1: make an actual living. Yes you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like if it's not your dream or it's not something
Speaker 1: you're going for then like so you're going for it all?
Speaker 1: Yeah man, So like because I could see you totally acting,
Speaker 1: oh would love to Oh bro, yeah, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: a movie, bro, I know that's what they say. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be good, even more so than a lot of
Speaker 1: those guys that are in like little circle. Like you.
Speaker 1: You're young, you're got a unique look, like you be
Speaker 1: living because those those cats like you know, that whole squad,
Speaker 1: they just do podcasts. They don't do they do the
Speaker 1: fun out of pocket. They just a funk out of podcasts.
Speaker 1: They don't do any acting or anything. But but I like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I like performing. I like entertainment itself.
Speaker 1: I like it's I don't know, it's just one of obvious.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be in a jet appetitle movie. I can
Speaker 1: feel it. Man, I'll do that. What's up? Jut what's
Speaker 1: the other what's the other guy? There's Judd, and then
Speaker 1: there's there's another big comedy guy I don't know that
Speaker 1: does that also directs comedy movies. Will Ferrell is the
Speaker 1: jet appatol guy, right well, I think Will does a
Speaker 1: lot with Jet Appatite. And then the other guy is
Speaker 1: the guy who does like forty year old Virgin and
Speaker 1: I don't know that was Oh Seth Rogan. Seth Rogan
Speaker 1: does a lot of Seth Rogan does a lot. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe they're the same guy. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: it's Judd Appatil. It got shout out to him. Yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: he does a lot. He just did he Davidson's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: King of Staten Island. Yeah. I saw that it was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was it wasn't it wasn't a bad movie like
Speaker 1: good I thought it was. I just thought it was
Speaker 1: kind of like, it wasn't very funny. How about that
Speaker 1: there were some funny parts in it, like the fact
Speaker 1: he had to take the like Bill Burst kids. The
Speaker 1: school was like, oh, yeah, that was pretty funny. I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 1: who the fuck is letting their fucking kid walk to
Speaker 1: school with some random ass motherfucker? The fuck is going
Speaker 1: a guy that's trying to get with that person's mom?
Speaker 1: The fuck that's right? He did? Yeah, yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: think that like with the stand up thing, like I
Speaker 1: think it's it's also like because of the podcasting ship,
Speaker 1: it's more on ah, like it's easier to too. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, five years ago, like if you
Speaker 1: were like a stand up guy, you had to be
Speaker 1: like you had to be like a real geek. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. Now it's like you don't have to be
Speaker 1: like my you know, there's just normal people who just
Speaker 1: like Joe Rogan in their life, and then they find
Speaker 1: these other podcasts and then people who never I feel
Speaker 1: the Comedy Store has become this. It's always been legendary.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's been like a resurgency. Oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: They all talk about like how there was a point
Speaker 1: in time where it was just like no one went there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I remember even when it happened with the like
Speaker 1: it's it took a downfall. Like honestly, when like I
Speaker 1: think when like the men see a Rogan thing happened
Speaker 1: because they because Rogan got banned. It was like a
Speaker 1: toss up between the Comedy Store and the Laugh Factory
Speaker 1: when I first moved out here, and then I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, there's a difference. You ever been a Chocolate
Speaker 1: Sundays at the Laugh Factory? I haven't fire. That's one
Speaker 1: of the most fire shows. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: Gary Owen is a white guy who does black who
Speaker 1: does black comedy. Right, so like when you go to
Speaker 1: a Gary Owen show, he could do Chocolate Sundays, he
Speaker 1: could do all that ship right. Yes, you're a black
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't necessarily do quote unquote black comedy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just talked about you, just talk about you and
Speaker 1: your experience, right, but like, when have you done like
Speaker 1: a black comedy night? Yeah, and do they fuck with you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The first time I did it, man, I bombed so hard.
Speaker 1: I bombed so hard because I can only imagine, like
Speaker 1: it's just it's just different. It's like it is. Gary
Speaker 1: Owen's not gonna go and like pull up and and
Speaker 1: and do a show with Jim Gaffigan. You know, first
Speaker 1: of all, Gary Owen has the blackest audience. Then like
Speaker 1: some like and he's hilarious, and he's fucking hilarious. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, yeah, some of the like like he
Speaker 1: probably has like most of a lot of comments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. He has. His audience's black. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna see like a white person in there or
Speaker 1: any other like it's black. I've been doing a couple
Speaker 1: of Gary okay, never mind, Okay, well you see boutleg there,
Speaker 1: but no, Yeah, the first time I did like an
Speaker 1: all black room, yeah, I bombed hardest. Fuck. I was
Speaker 1: doing a weekend and the club Runner back home in Arizona, uh,
Speaker 1: for the clubs. I was doing this to Casey Currier.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, he was like building me up,
Speaker 1: and he goes, I've seen what you can do in
Speaker 1: this room. What can you do in this room? And
Speaker 1: I went up there and I was like, let's do this, bro.
Speaker 1: I fucking tanked they did. I didn't get I got.
Speaker 1: I got three laughs at the start, the middle, and
Speaker 1: the end. Other than that, it was the longest twelve
Speaker 1: minutes of my life. And I was waiting for the
Speaker 1: light and then so then but then the headliner that
Speaker 1: I was open for, Rodney Perry, shout out to Rodney Perry.
Speaker 1: He was like, hey man, he goes, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: stayed you. He goes, that's good, but you're not clearing
Speaker 1: something up immediately up top, he was like, you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta address that. You can't just like start telling jokes.
Speaker 1: He goes, because the thing about black people, you know,
Speaker 1: do like perform for black people. He goes, They got
Speaker 1: questions about you as soon as you walk on stage,
Speaker 1: he goes, And then he was like, you completely missed that.
Speaker 1: You gotta say those things off the He's like, you
Speaker 1: gotta clear it up. He goes, and then you can
Speaker 1: say whatever you want after that because they already know you.
Speaker 1: He goes, but they don't know you right now, and
Speaker 1: they got questions. They're looking at you, like who's this motherfucker? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were like something different about him. Yeah, they know it.
Speaker 1: They he goes. They can see he goes. He goes
Speaker 1: as soon as you grab the microphone. They know as
Speaker 1: soon as you grab the microphone. You don't even have
Speaker 1: to talk yet. He's just no, he goes. You gotta
Speaker 1: say it. He goes. So do all that like up top,
Speaker 1: And then I remember I went home and I changed
Speaker 1: up like my whole set and then, bro, when I
Speaker 1: tell you I did it, I fucking did it. Oh man,
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was like one of like the
Speaker 1: like the greatest moments in my comedy career because it
Speaker 1: was like, fuck yeah, like I saw him in and
Speaker 1: then they have this, uh show at the store. Uh
Speaker 1: fucking what the hell is it called on Thursday nights.
Speaker 1: Damn it. They're gonna punch me in the face for
Speaker 1: not knowing this one. But but it's all all black
Speaker 1: room and uh sometimes I would get my development spots
Speaker 1: on that room and I already knew like boom boom boom,
Speaker 1: and like they the lady that runs it sell she
Speaker 1: she fucking uh loves me and always gave me like
Speaker 1: more time stuff like that, because you usual comics bomb
Speaker 1: that room, you know what I mean. Like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of it's like, you know, I mean, dude, black people,
Speaker 1: but black people are the best people, the best audience
Speaker 1: to ever perform for. I can imagine, because here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna write a blog about your joke. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna try to cancel you. They're gonna try to
Speaker 1: cance you. Bro, if you ain't funny, They're just gonna
Speaker 1: say it on site, not on Twitter, not on Twitter.
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell you right there. Yeah, people be like,
Speaker 1: oh god, pull of the coolest moments. I know. Jesus
Speaker 1: was in the crowd run I had him dying. I
Speaker 1: was like, yes, that's fire. Yeah yeah, it's crazy man,
Speaker 1: it's canceled coach as wow. Bro oh bro, it's you know.
Speaker 1: I you know, I think about it a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: because because I try to. I just try to understand
Speaker 1: so much because I want to understand a lot of perspectives.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to try to like understand
Speaker 1: and if you know a lot of times, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't click with it. And I think the reason why
Speaker 1: I don't click with it because like I think my
Speaker 1: stepfather was abusive. He was abusive as fuck, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And but I don't want to go
Speaker 1: after him, you know, I don't want to go like
Speaker 1: because like I think about like when I went like
Speaker 1: I went through, I had to go. I have I've
Speaker 1: had three different anger management uh teachers and oh ship
Speaker 1: you got some real anger. Yeah. Yeah. I went to
Speaker 1: anger management for about eight weeks because I got yeah,
Speaker 1: I punched a window, oh damn and uh and and
Speaker 1: I had to go. I went to court and then
Speaker 1: they put me. I had to go to anger management
Speaker 1: off country club and university. I'll see it. Mine was
Speaker 1: through like the I remember where that task is wherever
Speaker 1: you would have to go piss. Yeah, that's ready to go.
Speaker 1: I had to go through the schools I went to. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what were you saying? So you were sorry? Back
Speaker 1: to what you were saying? Oh but yeah, like okay,
Speaker 1: So my anger management teacher, they didn't teach me to
Speaker 1: go after people. They taught me to go after myself.
Speaker 1: So like that's why I don't connect with trying to
Speaker 1: cancel someone like that, Like I don't want to, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't blame my biological father for not
Speaker 1: being around those years, right, Like I don't blame my
Speaker 1: mom for like when she stayed with my stepdad, because
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, I'd rather I'd rather, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd rather make my life cool on
Speaker 1: my own than because then you're relying on other people's
Speaker 1: choices for your happiness. Yeah, Like that's not gonna be
Speaker 1: like like, yeah, save my stepfather, you know, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to give people a lot of power. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly like you say, yeah, I went after him. You know,
Speaker 1: he ends up going to prison for the ship blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. How does that make you better ten years
Speaker 1: after that? Dude? It doesn't Like it literally does nothing
Speaker 1: for me, Like I didn't do I didn't do anything
Speaker 1: for me. I did it because I was I don't
Speaker 1: like but it's like what so right, you know that,
Speaker 1: Like like I said, I try to understand everything, you know,
Speaker 1: I try to be completely honest with everything about me.
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of stuff where it's
Speaker 1: like okay, man, there's definitely people who do shit. Yeah
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, well you're a piece of shit, and
Speaker 1: I mean you get aired out all day. Like there's
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of that, you know that
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I agree with. But then there's just
Speaker 1: certain shit where it's like like wait, wait, like you
Speaker 1: can't never make a mistake. Yeah, like that, Like I
Speaker 1: was like the one I think about like a lot
Speaker 1: is like that Kevin Hart situation, like crazy, like he
Speaker 1: had old insensitive tweets, but like back then, like dude,
Speaker 1: if like you know and obviously nobody likes to slure
Speaker 1: gay people love gay people like Eminem couldn't put albums
Speaker 1: out anymore. Oh if like we went back and like
Speaker 1: held people to the same standards we hold them today,
Speaker 1: well it's just like, well, the thing is like how
Speaker 1: come no one looked post that tweet like like like
Speaker 1: after that tweet, like why didn't anyone like look at
Speaker 1: his life in the way he is after that? Right?
Speaker 1: Like why did they? Why did they define him off
Speaker 1: that something? Because if you if you looked at it,
Speaker 1: you go, oh, he hasn't done that was the last
Speaker 1: time he did something like that? As the person could
Speaker 1: have put the person what the person could have done
Speaker 1: has been like oh, man, Kevin Hart used to talk
Speaker 1: like this and he doesn't anymore. Man, he's moving like
Speaker 1: he grew. He grew. That's so awesome that people. But man,
Speaker 1: we like, you know, I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: are just because they can't go after someone else that
Speaker 1: they I think that it's a little bit more closer
Speaker 1: than him, so they try to I think they just
Speaker 1: go after these people and try to make this like thing.
Speaker 1: Me I'm I'm unapologetic as fuck. Like I mean, like
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't have a fear of like
Speaker 1: not being liked or not being you know, people. I
Speaker 1: think too. What's great about like being in your position
Speaker 1: is like you have your own platform. You're also comedian,
Speaker 1: so it's like you're so I I want my comedians
Speaker 1: to say offensive things. Yeah, well because like like yo,
Speaker 1: think about the Chappelle special that came out over this
Speaker 1: transmit and how it was it was really funny, Like
Speaker 1: it's not coming from a place of hatred. But he's
Speaker 1: a comedian and he's supposed to make fun of people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all people. That's the thing about comedy. The reason
Speaker 1: why it's funny because we're saying shit differently. We're gonna
Speaker 1: say it in a way that not everybody is thinking,
Speaker 1: so we're always thinking of it in a different way.
Speaker 1: And and every time a comedian writes a joke, no
Speaker 1: comedian is writing a joke to go, man, I want
Speaker 1: to fucking bash on these people. No comedian does that
Speaker 1: right in a joke, because damn, that's funny. The intent
Speaker 1: is funny. And then there what's the one guy, Uh,
Speaker 1: what's his name? The guy who made the fucked up
Speaker 1: Kobe joke on Twitter when he died. No, that guy,
Speaker 1: that guy's not just not funny, Like, hey, bro, like,
Speaker 1: what what were you thinking? But does but do I
Speaker 1: think he deserves to get canceled? No, like he lost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a horrible joke, horrible joe joke. And even
Speaker 1: if it wasn't a joke, like he just like he
Speaker 1: didn't even he didn't he didn't even have to do that.
Speaker 1: Read the room, buddy, Yeah, read the fucking room. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you just got to read the room. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But but I agree with you, like, like I don't
Speaker 1: funk with that dude because of what he said, because
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, he's probably not that great of a guy. Plus,
Speaker 1: I he fucking poisoned the Burke guy with some drugs, yeah,
Speaker 1: which she was like, bro, what kind of guy does that?
Speaker 1: What the fuck gave mexstausy or something without I'm all right,
Speaker 1: we'll look. I'm just not gonna I don't have to
Speaker 1: support the guy, but he should be able to still
Speaker 1: go get booked. But like, here's the thing, like people
Speaker 1: don't realize about comedians, like you got to think of
Speaker 1: comedians as like a like like uh like TV. You
Speaker 1: got a lot of channels. Yeah, I don't like I
Speaker 1: don't like you know, I'm not a big friends guy exactly.
Speaker 1: I thought Two and a Half Men was trash, but
Speaker 1: guess what, people like it. And that's how that's how
Speaker 1: you gotta think of comedy. So like I don't have
Speaker 1: like like I don't like get weird. Like like I've
Speaker 1: had like one lady you know, come up to me
Speaker 1: after a show because she was offended by a joke
Speaker 1: and I was just like, okay, you're at a you
Speaker 1: should you should be off like people. She wanted a
Speaker 1: battle and I was just like, okay, there's no point
Speaker 1: to put any energy there. Yeah, because one I knew,
Speaker 1: I like, I know my intentions, I know where I'm
Speaker 1: coming from, I know who I am, and I know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And first of all, you can't pick
Speaker 1: and choose throughout my set of what you thought was
Speaker 1: offensive or not. There'd be no time to live if
Speaker 1: people did that with everything in their life. Oh and
Speaker 1: there's people who do that. Yeah, they do. You know
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. I'll tell you what. Because I
Speaker 1: used to be just like my anger, I used to
Speaker 1: just pop, you know what I mean. It was just
Speaker 1: a lot of it just because I was sensitive to like,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought everybody needed to like, you know,
Speaker 1: to my needs. But you know, you get exhausted after
Speaker 1: because it because it doesn't really because I used to
Speaker 1: be the same way where I would like, I would
Speaker 1: like argue with people on Facebook, which is the worst ship? Oh, bru,
Speaker 1: you're one of those people. I would I would see
Speaker 1: some ship or somebody would try to say some slick ship,
Speaker 1: some local rapper or something, and I would just why
Speaker 1: am I giving energy to this ship? Because it because
Speaker 1: I know it's so funny, because like, no conversation is
Speaker 1: authentic over the internet. Never think about it like you didn't.
Speaker 1: You didn't hit me up to do this podcast, to go,
Speaker 1: hey we're gonna we're gonna do it over Twitter though
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That doesn't it doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense. So it's like you know when people like
Speaker 1: go back and like I don't know you if someone
Speaker 1: if someone tells me, hey, this happened, and then I go,
Speaker 1: how do you know? Like how do you know that's true?
Speaker 1: And then they go, We'll go look at Twitter. I'll
Speaker 1: slap them in the face because I hate that ship.
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy, just is It's just also people
Speaker 1: just get their information from these places, like and they
Speaker 1: hang their hat on it. I have like my mom
Speaker 1: will send me ship she sees on Facebook and I'll
Speaker 1: be like Mom, I'm like, Mom, get the funk off Facebook.
Speaker 1: My mom was like literally be like yo, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if the coronavirus is real. Kevin. I'm like, Mom,
Speaker 1: stop going on face. You know exactly where she was at. Yeah, like, yo,
Speaker 1: you on Facebook? On Facebook? Mom, stay the fuck off
Speaker 1: of Facebook. Like most old people get shipped off of Facebook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like their fucking It's like their new source, no
Speaker 1: matter what side of the spectrum you are. Politically, Hey,
Speaker 1: old people ruined Facebook. That Facebook is fucked up. It's
Speaker 1: the worst that I've also that, uh deactivated or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then it's because it's also people who you like,
Speaker 1: actually known real life, and you're like, fuck, this guy
Speaker 1: is a real piece of ship. Damn I knew this guy,
Speaker 1: I mean unfollowed, Like like I know this guy in
Speaker 1: real life. Twitter is like people you're never gonna meet.
Speaker 1: Twitter's a joke. Yeah, like, okay, you're you're a fan
Speaker 1: where you at? Yeah, exactly. People are real brave on Twitter,
Speaker 1: real brave. You you were cool. Christa lear Right. I've
Speaker 1: heard him talk about you. Yeah, what's going on with
Speaker 1: this guy? Man? You know I don't have that information.
Speaker 1: Have you spoken with him since this ship popped off? Man?
Speaker 1: Because it's listen, I don't know what happened, but either
Speaker 1: way they got just the guy did just have a baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he's got a he's got a girl and
Speaker 1: a baby. And you know, if if this is the
Speaker 1: the version of what happened, is the version where he
Speaker 1: didn't do any of this stuff, then fuck you gotta
Speaker 1: feel I mean shit, that sucks, man. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like it's it's a your thing, you know.
Speaker 1: Like that's why, like I'm not one of those people
Speaker 1: that like, I don't jump into a group thing. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think correctly. I don't I can't think in
Speaker 1: the group format. I have to step away from ship
Speaker 1: to like understand it from like myself, and then I go, well,
Speaker 1: what what what is this information? What can I do
Speaker 1: with this information? And then it's like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: then you kind of like, you know, dwindle it down,
Speaker 1: you know, uh yeah, as far as that goes, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like like that's why I had to get away from
Speaker 1: the social media world because like like like like as
Speaker 1: far as Twitter, like Facebook, because when you when you
Speaker 1: go on and you just see like this ship and
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be correct, and I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: I read books like why the fuck am I like
Speaker 1: looking at this ship for you know, something correct? And
Speaker 1: you know, I was just like, listen, you know, I've
Speaker 1: never known him to do any of that, do any
Speaker 1: of that? You haven't had any communication with him since
Speaker 1: everything popped off? Yeah, I hyeah, you know, and and
Speaker 1: and and I and I. You know, it was weird
Speaker 1: because I hate the fact that like I was letting
Speaker 1: social media like to find that if I should or not,
Speaker 1: you know, whereas like, you know, and I had I
Speaker 1: had a long talk. I had a long talk with
Speaker 1: my my girl about it, you know, and she was
Speaker 1: like the first dude you met in comedy, you know,
Speaker 1: like he you know, so he was the first guy
Speaker 1: you met in comedy. It was first guy I met
Speaker 1: in comedy. What year was that? That was twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, you met Christi Leean twenty eleven. He
Speaker 1: wasn't even like anything. This was before he was the
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber's favorite comedy. Yeah, yeah, this was before before that.
Speaker 1: And so this is a guy who like did he
Speaker 1: help did he kind of serve as a mentor at
Speaker 1: all to you? Like in a comedy shit? Ever? Uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he helped me out with some stuff, man, he uh
Speaker 1: you know, he's letting me open for him, you know,
Speaker 1: which is like, you know, he has some of like
Speaker 1: the craziest fans, craziest fans and like the dopest audience,
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, man, yeah, so I've reached out
Speaker 1: to him, and you know, my girls, like you shouldn't
Speaker 1: feel guilty about that. Yeah, I mean like you gotta.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're his friends should give the benefit
Speaker 1: of doubt. Yeah, exactly. And then there's and and there's nothing.
Speaker 1: She's like, there's nothing wrong with that, you know, like
Speaker 1: you're you're not You're not a judge, You're not a
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's not your lane. But I was
Speaker 1: just like, you know, I reached out to him. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm probably the you know, on the lowest, lowest part
Speaker 1: of the tone poll of people you want to hear
Speaker 1: from right now, But you know, I just send positivity away. Man.
Speaker 1: So did you get tested for the coronavirus? Coronavirus? I
Speaker 1: ended up getting it, I know. I saw that, bro.

Speaker 1: fucked off and Scottsdale, my roommate has got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think she got it when she went. She's from
Speaker 1: Arizona as well. Yeah, Arizona is a guy in breeding ground,
Speaker 1: so weird. Those are simp I couldn't smell. You couldn't smell, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had, I just have no I could taste. My
Speaker 1: wife couldn't taste, but she could smell. No, she couldn't
Speaker 1: do either. Damn. That was that was my roommate. She couldn't.
Speaker 1: She couldn't taste. You didn't catch it, so you were
Speaker 1: because you were in Brandon Brandon shop a lot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I didn't catch it. Another one of my homies
Speaker 1: had got it that I was exposed around. He had
Speaker 1: got it. Didn't get it. My roommate it was around
Speaker 1: her obviously. My roommate. Yeah, didn't get it. And then uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up. I didn't get it. It's yeah, let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. Black people don't get it. I'm just
Speaker 1: kidding because my boy beat Out Scales got it. He's
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ship. Just kidd the gods and died anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just so crazy because I would always like
Speaker 1: watch Brandon Shop talk about the mask thing. Bro I
Speaker 1: even told him. I was like, you're talking about it.
Speaker 1: You were talking that ship I called it. I was like, bro,
Speaker 1: hey snapped you upside the head boy Jesus. And then
Speaker 1: he was like he was like, I mean, he goes,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Yeah, I'm fine, you know, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I knew what I was signing up for. But he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it's not worth it. He goes
Speaker 1: because you know, uh, you know, he goes, I had
Speaker 1: to record you know, my podcast at a home, like
Speaker 1: I got to step away from your family. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had like he had to stay in the in his basement. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I understand that, the idea of like, you
Speaker 1: know what, fuck it, I'm gonna do it because if
Speaker 1: I get it, I'm gonna get it, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: still live my life. I don't think that's smart. It's
Speaker 1: a little selfish, but like I get it. Like, but yeah,
Speaker 1: even like I feel like Rogan kind of chilled out
Speaker 1: on his like because he was on that wave too
Speaker 1: a little bit. Well probably because he probably because I
Speaker 1: would say, maybe because he knew more people that were
Speaker 1: getting it. Yeah. But like yeah, even like I saw him,
Speaker 1: he was saying, like you know he did Houston. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, dude, what it wasn't worth it? It
Speaker 1: was not worth it. He's like, I thought I'd go
Speaker 1: out like it's just not worth it. Like, I get
Speaker 1: it that you did the Phoenix show. Yeah I didn't
Speaker 1: get it there. Huh. And that weekend we had did
Speaker 1: those shows is when a Z spiked yep. But the
Speaker 1: way so the way uh Stand Up Life had did
Speaker 1: it so like I said, that club seats around like
Speaker 1: close to six hundred. Well they only they they only
Speaker 1: let three hundred in. They used the the you they
Speaker 1: used the whole room so like everybody so like if you,
Speaker 1: if you were if you like only people that were
Speaker 1: sitting by each other came with each other came with
Speaker 1: each other, so like otherwise like and it was like
Speaker 1: it was spread out like that. But the way they
Speaker 1: had the lights, it didn't like we couldn't tell on
Speaker 1: the stage like that. It looked like that, you know,
Speaker 1: because it was like the crowds like you know, like
Speaker 1: not lit, so uh, we couldn't tell, but it seemed
Speaker 1: like a full room. But it's just everybody was at
Speaker 1: a distance. Uh have you has? Have you? I Mean
Speaker 1: I think it's inevitable you're gonna end up going on
Speaker 1: the Joe Rogan podcast. But is that that ever been
Speaker 1: tossed around officially? Oh yeah, we've talked about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it don't happen. When it happens, and then it's over
Speaker 1: and then it's a wrap And I'm just kidding, Like,
Speaker 1: what's the west Wood? What's the west I am not
Speaker 1: from masa what. I'm from Beverly Hills, Beverly. I'm from
Speaker 1: West Hollywood, from West hollywoods pour on the wheat grass. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Oasis fan fan. You can have dinner with either Henry Rollins,

Speaker 1: Gallagher would be You know, I've I've performed with Henry
Speaker 1: and like had a good conversation with so you've already
Speaker 1: talked to him. So it's so it's no Gallagher. That's fair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's such polar opposites musically. Oh that's the funny thing
Speaker 1: about it. We were like, how are you an know?
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's well, okay. What people don't realize about
Speaker 1: Oasis is that Oasis has a very punk attitude, right,
Speaker 1: and that's why, like that's what caught my attention with him,
Speaker 1: and like outside of Wonderwall and Champagne super Nova, most
Speaker 1: people don't realize they have like some kind of like
Speaker 1: harder harder ship, harder ship. Because when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I had the album What's the Story More? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: great album. Yeah, great album. Yeah we had that album
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah that ship. I mean when I grew up,
Speaker 1: my cousin who was in and out of prison put
Speaker 1: me on the that ship like suicidal Tendencies yea, all
Speaker 1: that kind of ship. But yeah, Oasis was one of
Speaker 1: those bands. Wow, that's pretty white CD? Right? Yeah CD's white?
Speaker 1: Yeah my CD book damn of course. Hey, what's the
Speaker 1: one band? What's what? Like? It's funny because I always
Speaker 1: there's certain music I hear when when whenever it pops
Speaker 1: up in my life, I'll be like, yo, this is
Speaker 1: this is Westwood? What's like that? Like a band that
Speaker 1: like you think like this was like the band in
Speaker 1: high school. Oh, the band it's for me. It's always
Speaker 1: Authority zero. Oh, Bro Damn or Bionic Jive was Doug
Speaker 1: Cooper gave me that CD Damn Oh? Or there was
Speaker 1: also the Funk Junkies. The Funk Junkies now, but the
Speaker 1: Funk Junkies were never popping like they weren't. The kids
Speaker 1: in high school were bumping Authority zero. Yeah, they were
Speaker 1: bumping Authority zero. But you know I listened to Authority zero.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't like my That wasn't your bag. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say probably black Flag that was my like like
Speaker 1: anytime it comes on, like I know exactly where I was,
Speaker 1: where I was, how I was, you know, my whole existence. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy. It is. So did you start to
Speaker 1: get into that hardcore ship in high school or before that?
Speaker 1: You cause you were said you were in a band
Speaker 1: before that, right, Yeah, I start I got I got
Speaker 1: in the hard core stuff in junior high Pow Patriots baby,
Speaker 1: yeah when I was like thirteen yo. We grew up
Speaker 1: around a lot of Mormons, a lot lots of Mormons,
Speaker 1: lots of them. And I think that Trump being president
Speaker 1: has shown me that there are much worse conservative people
Speaker 1: in the world of Mormons, because yo, when I wait,
Speaker 1: when I moved from tight, they're tight. Because listen, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. When I moved from Sunny Slope
Speaker 1: to Mesa, I was like, I was like thirteen and
Speaker 1: he was in Sunny Slow first. Yeah, so I grew
Speaker 1: up my cousin who went to posting a Mountain View. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he scared me about Mormon people. Oh. He was like, yo,
Speaker 1: they got cameras in every house in Mesa. He just
Speaker 1: made up all this wild shit. I was like, damn, man,
Speaker 1: the Mormons are the ops, bro. Yeah shit. And they
Speaker 1: ended up going to school with him, and like a
Speaker 1: lot of the homies in school were all Mormon. They
Speaker 1: were like the nice That's what I'm saying. Like Westwood
Speaker 1: carried a lot of Mormon. Yeah, they were super nice.
Speaker 1: Like a good amount of the white kids that went
Speaker 1: to Westwood were Mormon, probably Mormon. Yeah yeah, and they
Speaker 1: were cool, cool as fuck. Yeah. I think Mormons are tight, bro.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of I mean yeah, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of And then I just remember being in
Speaker 1: high school, like you know, you like grow up in Mesa.
Speaker 1: There's like a big ass Mormon temple on Main Street
Speaker 1: on Main Street, and like I would just always like
Speaker 1: I'd be like, nah, there's no way they think that
Speaker 1: this is real. And then I researched, I like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: they think it's dang. And then you would like have
Speaker 1: your warmon homies who were kind of woke, be like, hey,
Speaker 1: you really don't like the underwear thing, like I've seen
Speaker 1: you drink so before. Bro, Come on, the underwear thing
Speaker 1: is real, though, Bro that it's it's it's if you

Speaker 1: don't know if I can roll with the underwear. Well.
Speaker 1: They also weren't fucking with black people until like nineteen seventies.

Speaker 1: of Mormon black people are called knee fights. That's tight
Speaker 1: and yeah, and they weren't allowed in the church. Damn.
Speaker 1: Yeah fights something like that. You you don't want to
Speaker 1: look that up. Knees fight, I like that. Yeah. Shout

Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is a lot of the Mormon
Speaker 1: kids in school, though, you could tell that they're like
Speaker 1: grew up in like these super weird conservatives, because it'd
Speaker 1: be like the kids who would like go to like
Speaker 1: and do Heroin or like sniff piples bruh. Like that's

Speaker 1: All the answers of that for me are just when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, when I still cared. I've been
Speaker 1: to every single I've probably been to a thousand concerts
Speaker 1: in my life, at least a thousand. I'm the same way.
Speaker 1: I've been to so many concerts that i can't remember

Speaker 1: I'll usually be backstage and I'll be like, i just
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck to go watch. I'm like, yeah, Brooke,
Speaker 1: I've seen you ten times. What am I going to
Speaker 1: see different? Yeah? Yeah, you know, like it's very seldomly
Speaker 1: like where I'll see somebody for a new I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh ship. Yeah. Like Mac Miller was like that, Like
Speaker 1: Mac every like every tour he'd get, he'd elevate because
Speaker 1: he'd learn a new instrument. Dude. I know. It's crazy
Speaker 1: because I've been traveling so much and like obviously if
Speaker 1: you flying in and out of LA like you just
Speaker 1: see yeah people. I've run into some people on my
Speaker 1: flights and I'm like, damn. Like when I saw h

Speaker 1: Oh no, like I killed somebody, no one can say
Speaker 1: about him, or fifty or fifty fifty one of those
Speaker 1: people know what can say shit about? There's someone else
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking of. That's gotta be Oh fat Joe.
Speaker 1: Fat Joe probably has the uh. Probably the single most
Speaker 1: notorious violence against other famous people rap sheet and hip
Speaker 1: hop history. Really that people like, yeah, oh yeah, there's
Speaker 1: like Fat Joe. I mean yeah. I remember when I
Speaker 1: first interviewed him. I was so excited because I was like, Yo, Joe,
Speaker 1: like you the real deal. Fam. People don't know this
Speaker 1: because they be hearing what's love with a shanty and ship.
Speaker 1: But like Fat Joe was out here kidnapping DJ's in
Speaker 1: the nineties, damn and fucking getting motherfucker sliced up bro
Speaker 1: like other rap like bro like Cuban Cuban Link, the
Speaker 1: guy who was in Terror Squad who Fat Joe or
Speaker 1: who Punk put on. They ended up having a beef
Speaker 1: and Cuban Link he got his whole face cut up
Speaker 1: like fat his whole ship got fucked up. Fat Joe
Speaker 1: ain't the one. Fat Joe is not the one. He had.
Speaker 1: He beefed out with uh Roy Jones Junior at a club.
Speaker 1: Ain't got no fear. Yeah, Fat Joe's one of them.
Speaker 1: Ones Man Noriega to Norriaga shot Prodigy in his ass
Speaker 1: from My Deep, Norriy shot him. Noriel was one of
Speaker 1: those guys too. But now you know Norrid because he's yeah,
Speaker 1: he's hilarious up Doriega back in the day. Man, Really,
Speaker 1: there's a mom I'm trying to think who else is
Speaker 1: like the scariest guys where I'm like, you know, it's funny,
Speaker 1: Like I definitely think his music is horrible, and the
Speaker 1: guy's mastered this internet. Man, he's funny. Oh. I cannot, like,
Speaker 1: I'll never endorse him as an artist ever because he's
Speaker 1: like what he stands for is like goes against what
Speaker 1: I came up with, and like, you know, I've been
Speaker 1: around a lot of in the street world, a lot
Speaker 1: of my life with a lot of my people, and
Speaker 1: I can't but god damn if he has not mastered
Speaker 1: the age we're in, the trolling and the Internet. Like, bro,
Speaker 1: this guy gets under people's skin, which is so weird.
Speaker 1: It's so weird like that he's under Meek mills skin
Speaker 1: something crazy and Meek Mill shouldn't even acknowledge him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's all, man, it's so yeah, it's so weird
Speaker 1: to watch like when people, like, when people get upset
Speaker 1: about it, I'm like, y'all said, like you know whatever,
Speaker 1: Yeah he was like he's yeah, yeah, he dropped that video.
Speaker 1: I was like this motherfucker's just like like a TV
Speaker 1: series that sort of. God, dude, I said this before
Speaker 1: he got out of jail, Like, I definitely didn't think
Speaker 1: he was gonna be like this as far I knew people,
Speaker 1: I knew whatever his first look was was gonna be big. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But whenever they make his like life movie about this
Speaker 1: whole trial and like all that, it's gonna be fire.
Speaker 1: He was putting hits out on people, I was like,
Speaker 1: is he untouchable right now? I mean, I think he's
Speaker 1: got fed security, so I think, like because he's a
Speaker 1: technically in the witness protection program, but he gets out
Speaker 1: of it in August. In August. But they just said
Speaker 1: today that he hired twenty two X cops as a
Speaker 1: security ass force. So he's got twenty two. Imagine how
Speaker 1: much money that is. Imagine if you're paying one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for each one of those guys a year.
Speaker 1: And that's on a low end, because those guys know
Speaker 1: they're signing up for some bullshit. So you move, you
Speaker 1: want me to go protect a snitch, you have to
Speaker 1: pay me two hundred thousand. He's gonna spend at least
Speaker 1: five to ten million a year on security, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: He makes that much money Yeah, off pro I don't Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the music world like so talk
Speaker 1: about it like this. He got an advance I think
Speaker 1: when he was in jail. He signed like a twenty
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract or something like that. He did
Speaker 1: when he was in jail, so they knew did the
Speaker 1: guy named is Elliott Grange. He is the same guy
Speaker 1: who uh has Trippy Red under his label. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: they already they bagged him out. And now you got
Speaker 1: to realize, like the thing he fucked himself on was
Speaker 1: most rappers now make money off of shows because like touring, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like touring is like probably the biggest source of revenue
Speaker 1: for artists, Okay, because your music doesn't sell like he
Speaker 1: used to. Yeah, but he off the rip, fucked off
Speaker 1: his He fucked up being able to go on tour
Speaker 1: because he made enemies in every city. So he if
Speaker 1: you notice he never went on a six nine tour
Speaker 1: and he never did Rolling Loud. They wouldn't book him
Speaker 1: because he was a big liability because my boys do
Speaker 1: Rolling Loud, Like he never got put on those lineups
Speaker 1: or he never did Hot ninety seven summer James. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why he was like come out in surprise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'd have to sneak him in the venue. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: so like he never did any festivals. He never got
Speaker 1: his festival bag. Yeah, he never did a tour. He
Speaker 1: only would he'd go in and do festivals in Russia. Wow.
Speaker 1: So like he's gotta be making I mean off of
Speaker 1: YouTube and his music. Shit, you would hope he's making.
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, because it doesn't make like like
Speaker 1: I can't even make it make sense because even if
Speaker 1: he took that twenty five million, he's got to recoup that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he I don't know, but
Speaker 1: yeah I think I don't know, dude. I think the
Speaker 1: music is asked Cheeks to be honest. His music, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad. I mean yeah, like there's worse music.
Speaker 1: For the record, there's worse music. There's worse that's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not something I take serious, but it is like
Speaker 1: it's not great. It's like I mean, like it's cute,
Speaker 1: like it's like TikTok music. Yeah, you're just like, oh okay,
Speaker 1: it's just like something catching for the moment. What do
Speaker 1: you think of like comedians who like are popping on
Speaker 1: social media, but not necessarily stand up comedians stay in
Speaker 1: their lane because there's like guys like what like Haha Davis.
Speaker 1: I actually don't know those guys. Oh I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know what I'm talking about. There's guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't King Bach he did more of a YouTuber.
Speaker 1: But so those those guys, I've never I've never seen
Speaker 1: their stand ups. I can't. I don't think they do
Speaker 1: stand up. I hope not. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let me tell let me tell you something. I tell
Speaker 1: you this. Do you like like frown frown on those
Speaker 1: guys media you get in front of get on fucking stage. No,
Speaker 1: not at all, because like a rappers that you can freestyle,
Speaker 1: you know. No, I think it's I mean, they found
Speaker 1: they found it through that, you know. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's wrong. I don't think it's incorrect,
Speaker 1: you know, like because you gotta think. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that you know, kind of want
Speaker 1: like they want their dreams to like to have their
Speaker 1: own TV show or be a movie. But you know,
Speaker 1: somehow they found this way through the online world that
Speaker 1: they don't need a producer, these these people or anything
Speaker 1: like that, so they just make these clips, they make
Speaker 1: these things, you know, which is just entertaining, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm entertained by I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: the Instagram guys are so funny to me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I just always wonder, like because they're technically comedians, because
Speaker 1: they make people aught for a living, but they're not
Speaker 1: comedian comedians. Yeah, like they're not stand up. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like stand up. Here's the thing about stand up.
Speaker 1: Stand up is one of the hardest things to do
Speaker 1: because you literally the only way you can know how
Speaker 1: to do it or doing it is by doing it.
Speaker 1: You can't practice. There's no practicing with it. You you
Speaker 1: the only way to do stand up is to do
Speaker 1: it is to do it in front of an audience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta up in front of everybody. You gotta and
Speaker 1: that you have you have to accept that and that,
Speaker 1: like the thing is is like Instagram or you know,
Speaker 1: yeah I'm not and that I'm not bragging all this.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying that like you can edit, like you
Speaker 1: can do these things to it to make it. You know,
Speaker 1: this funny thing you got noice like it's right there,
Speaker 1: like it's like right in your face, you know, like
Speaker 1: you're getting the judgment right there. You know. That's like
Speaker 1: someone painting a picture and they have someone on there
Speaker 1: like behind them just like ooh ah, or like yeah
Speaker 1: that's tight, you know what I mean, Like that's what
Speaker 1: it's like. You know. I got an approach to do
Speaker 1: any specials because Netflix is doing a lot of comedy specials. No,
Speaker 1: not yet. I wouldn't do one right now. You gotta
Speaker 1: wait it out. I wade that. Get your wait up
Speaker 1: a little. Yeah, I'd rather people know who I am,
Speaker 1: like I wanted to do well, Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: people like I don't want to drop well, No, there's
Speaker 1: fucking something Netflix specials that will pop up on who
Speaker 1: the fuck is this guy? Yeah, there's something that will
Speaker 1: like you know, I'll be like really confused, like I
Speaker 1: would not heard of this guy I'd like to think of.
Speaker 1: That's that's just not the move I would want to make. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, yeah, it sucks because like like Bill
Speaker 1: bur didn't do a special till he was like I
Speaker 1: think almost I think he said almost fifteen or twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. Bill Burr is one of my favorite comedians. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: salute to Bill Burr. Man shout out to break in
Speaker 1: bad man, bail fucking bear. You know it's funny. My
Speaker 1: wife I try to watch her watch the stand up
Speaker 1: and she always says, because my wife's Maxican, she always
Speaker 1: says awesome white people shit that she ain't funny. But
Speaker 1: guess what she loves f's for family, Oh she does.
Speaker 1: And so she's like two seasons in and I'm like, hey,
