Just stupid stuff, but with the with actual thought behind it.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

Yep, yep. When did you realize um that being like, you know, funny? Obviously, like at parties and stuff like that could actually be a career for you.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Uh when I was failing in school.

SPEAKER_03 2:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

Yeah, I was like, hmm, maybe I should transition to something else.

SPEAKER_03 2:48

But were you like the kid in school that was like always getting in trouble for like being a class clown?

SPEAKER_01 2:52

And yeah, I was always funny, but then I went to school, like college in New Orleans, and I was on set as an extra. Oh. And I had everybody cracking up, and I was like, Stop. And one of the guys was like, Man, you really need to pursue that. And then I was kind of like, all right, I've never met this person before, but they like they believe in me so much that maybe I should try to pursue it. And then, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:13

This complete stranger who I've never talked to in my life, who could be a serial killer, escape escape from prison, said, This is what I should do with my life. I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

Because I had them dying laughing for like eight hours on set.

SPEAKER_03 3:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

Yeah. Shout out to uh Jim Carrey and my man Ewan McGregor. Okay. Because it was the set of uh I love you, Philip Morris. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's amazing. Yeah, so since it's Pride Month, you know, I'm kind of like a queer icon. Yeah, you are an ally. He's an ally.

SPEAKER_03 3:42

Okay, I do want to like back things up because I mean I know you from what I know, you from the computer, you know each other. But what was baby pap like? I mean, five feet tall. Uh, but beyond that, what were you like as a kid?

SPEAKER_01 3:53

I've been the same person my whole life. So yeah, it's just a tiny version, just like, yo, if you met me as a kid, you'd be like, this is an asshole. Like, get this kid away from you.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

Did your family think that too? Like with comedy, or were that were they like, oh, wait, he actually has something? Or do they tell you, like, just go do insurance? She, you know.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

No, my mom supports me in anything. She loves me. I'm I'm her I'm her prize.

SPEAKER_02 4:14

I love that.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

But yeah, my family just enjoyed it. They just like, you so silly.

SPEAKER_02 4:18

But did they think that you could actually you could really take it to where you've gone to?

SPEAKER_01 4:22

My family didn't believe this was a career at all.

SPEAKER_02 4:24

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

But they always supported me. My aunt, she always supported me to come out to shows like way early.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

Like I love way early.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Just show up to a bar, just like, okay, it's my here's my nephew go. I got my drink. Thank you for your drink ticket, you know? Yeah. So I know I've always been supported, and uh, it's always been fun for me.

SPEAKER_03 4:45

And that support is so important when you are chasing a career as crazy as the one all of us is, you know, model actress, broadcaster, comedian. It's probably a tough pill to swallow for a lot of our family members who are the boomer generation. Yeah. You gotta like, you know, work like with their hands every day. So I mean that support does help get you a little further.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Yeah, but I always tell them I never wanted y'all lies. Like, you ever seen somebody go work a nine to five? You'd be like, uh, this is this don't look like it's worth it at all.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

Well, have you ever worked nine to five?

SPEAKER_01 5:14

Yeah,

Day Jobs And Pizza Life

SPEAKER_01 5:15

SPEAKER_03 5:17

Yeah, how's your nine to five?

SPEAKER_01 5:18

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Oh, yeah, I could were you delivering or making the pizzas?

SPEAKER_01 5:24

Well, a little bit of both. A little bit of both. If it's slow, yeah, I'll be in there. I'm not gonna make a pizza, but I'll be in there, I'll help out. But like, yeah, driving around, meeting new people, uh, smoking a lot of weed.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

That's gonna be a fun, like when you write your when, which absolutely won't your first like comedy, like the story of your life as a pizza boy. That's how it should start.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Oh, yeah, it was amazing, especially being a pizza man in Oakland. Oh, and it was like run by like um some foreigners. So they'd be like, Oh, we got a delivery over here. And I'd be like, nah, nah, don't send nobody over there. Like, oh yeah. It's 12 pieces. No, don't do that, don't do that. I'm not going. Call them back.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Yeah, tell them they can come pick it up. Yeah, trust me. I I got lost a couple of times in Oakland in high school. And I remember like one of my one time I finally found my friend's house, and he was like, Hey, don't get out of the car until you see me come out of my door and wave you in. And I'm like, okay. And so I sat there and then I got in. I was like, what the hell was that all about? He's like, if I'm not out there and you're walking the street, you may not make it across the across the street to my house. I'm like, period, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Here we go.

SPEAKER_03 6:37

I just had my first experience with the bae during Super Bowl weekend with her, and I had, you know, a few altercations while we were there, like at the party with those girls.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_03 6:46

I'm coming, I'm coming for you.

SPEAKER_02 6:47

And and meanwhile, like me and my boyfriend Ozzie are like, you're just in the bay, babe.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

I'm from Alabama. Everyone's nice there. Yeah. Here, I'm trying to take a picture. These girls are making fun of me. I'm like, what the hell is this about?

SPEAKER_02 7:00

Like, they didn't want us to take a picture, so they kept taking pictures so that we couldn't take a picture.

SPEAKER_03 7:04

Of us taking pictures.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

Yeah, my being a bully at 35 years old. What the hell is that? And my boyfriend's like, Cholas, I'm leaving you guys. Goodbye.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Now I understand why you and Martin get along. Y'all both got short fuses.

SPEAKER_03 7:19

Maybe it was like the short people's syndrome. So good people's syndrome. Okay, back to back to

Oakland Energy And Short Fuses

SPEAKER_03 7:25

baby pap. So you mentioned comedians, obviously, that helped, you know, kind of shape you today. When you were little, do you remember watching any comedians on TV that you thought, damn, I'll like I can do that, or I want to do that?

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Um, no, but when I was little, I found out that Eddie Murphy's birthday was the same day as mine.

SPEAKER_04 7:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

So that kind of yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:44

And when is that?

SPEAKER_01 7:45

April 3rd.

SPEAKER_04 7:46

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

So I was like, okay, well, this is this is something to shoot for. Maybe, maybe it's in the stars. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03 7:53

Me and Prent have the same birthday, but we're on the same route in life.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Okay, I see the similarities. Tiny light skins.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

I mean, just really Kathy. I'm like, all the Geminis are Gemini.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

My favorite color. So look at my shoes.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

I can't, I can't.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

She was purple for pride, okay? Uh so yeah, you talked a lot about growing up in a house, obviously, uh, with your mom who played both parents. Great joke, but

True Stories As Comedy Fuel

SPEAKER_03 8:18

yes. Um, how much of your real life ends up in your material?

SPEAKER_01 8:21

Everything I damn near everything I talk about is like a true story. And it's funny because my lady is always with me. So now she gets to see stuff like develop. So she's always like, ah, you're gonna make that into a joke, aren't you? Oh, yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

Oh, I love that. Has anything for you ever been too personal to put on stage, or you're just like, fuck it, I'm I'm putting it all, it's all a bit. It's all it.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

At the end of the day, I'm technically a clown. So if I can't, if I can't laugh at myself, then I'm I'm fucking up. I need to get out the game.

SPEAKER_02 8:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Because it's like, yeah, I don't take myself too seriously.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

For sure.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

That's when I realize, like, oh, you're tripping. It's like, relax, bro.

SPEAKER_03 9:00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Relax. You didn't do anything today.

SPEAKER_03 9:02

Right. I think a lot of comedians, I mean, I I've dabbled, you know, dipped my toe in, you know, the comedy thing. Wasn't necessarily for me, but I do think a lot of comedians maybe struggle a little bit with like being so authentic to themselves on stage because it is like you are just exposing everything about yourself. And even me when I've like written jokes, I have a lot of jokes I've written on my notepads that I feel like I'm not ready to say. But I think once you get comfortable with like, hey, this is my life, let me laugh at it. Here you go, take it or leave it. That's when you know, I feel like you see your star rise.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

Yeah, yeah. And once you live life, you know, people that you look up to, they also have problems. Everybody got problems, everybody going through shit.

SPEAKER_04 9:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

So if you can make light of it, the problems aren't as heavy.

SPEAKER_04 9:43

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

And that's the whole point of jokes is to be like, oh yeah, this happened to me. I experienced this. I still live through it. I'm still good today. I'm gonna be good tomorrow. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

So I always have power. Like if you have the power, no one else can laugh at you for these things because you laughed at it already. Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

I always tell people when the easiest way to shut somebody up is when somebody be like, hey, fuck you. You just be like, You right. And they'd be like, oh. Well, then they're really thinking, you know.

SPEAKER_02 10:10

I never thought about it like that. Oh, okay. Okay. I mean, yeah, if you can't, if you can't laugh at it, then you're gonna cry. And we don't want to cry. No. I mean, it's it's always good to cry, let it out, but like, you know, not not in that sense. I love a good cry. I love a good cry. I love a good cry. Yeah.

The Best Cry And Grief

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Okay, well what's your favorite, your favorite cry ever?

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Ooh. Like kind of cry? Like what kind, yeah, like, or like when, like a specific moment.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Either or it was an open-ended question.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Oh shit. Also, who's interviewing who?

SPEAKER_02 10:42

Well, yeah, I would say I would say probably like this. But the best cry I ever had probably was when my dad died.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

Look what you just did.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

Look what you did. I like my lovey daddy, he knows. But like, that probably was the best cry. I'm like, I'm like, I wish I had that on camera because I'd be like, I need to go back and study that cry because that cry was good. Like, I don't know what I did. I was punching people. Oh shit. I was, yeah, I was like, I threw up. I yeah, I was I was living in my friend's house in New York. Yeah, I like I was doing all sorts of crazy shit when I found out that he passed. And I think that's the best cry of my life, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 11:20

That was like an ayahuasca. Yeah, exactly. We went on a journey.

SPEAKER_02 11:24

Okay, but enough about

Getting On Netflix With Kevin Hart

SPEAKER_02 11:25

us. Let's talk about funny AF. Okay, when you found out you were selected for Kevin Hart's Netflix comedy competition, what was that moment honestly like?

SPEAKER_01 11:34

It felt good. I just laughed. I just laughed so uh because I was like, yo, uh, I'm about to be on Netflix. Yes, about to be stupid, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:42

And stupid but huge, and with a name attached to it as big as Kevin Hart.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

So it was like, oh, okay, you're getting stuff. You it was like one of those moments where it's like, oh, it all was for something.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Everything was for something. And I felt like I had just got past on something else. And it was kind of just like, oh yeah. Sometimes you don't get shit because bigger things are on the horizon.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

So was that pretty validating for you, or or did the panic set in pretty quickly when you're like, uh, oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

There was no panic because it was like, yo, period. No matter what, I'm gonna be on Netflix, which means I've already somebody I took an acting class one time. Actually, I was forced into an acting class because I was bombing commercial auditions so bad.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

Oh, commercial auditions.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

One time they were like, uh, can you get on your mark? And I was like, What's that? Is that the are you talking about the tape? They were like, yes.

SPEAKER_02 12:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

The only mark on the sage.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

And then afterwards, they were like, Oh yeah, kids we signed you up for some classes. Um, but he told me, once you get selected, even like a callback, you beat 10,000 people out.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 12:48

So, like anytime you get something, especially in Hollywood, it's like, oh, like you beat out a gazillion people.

SPEAKER_04 12:54

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

So be happy about that.

SPEAKER_04 12:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

Um, so yeah, I was like, oh, okay, I just beat out a bunch of people, like the world. Now I'm gonna be on Netflix. This is gonna be so silly. Yeah, no matter how it goes. So fortunately it went well.

SPEAKER_03 13:06

So yeah, yeah, of course. Well, obviously it's LA, you know, especially the LA episode. It's full of killers, okay? There's a lot of great comments here. And I know obviously, you know, you're very cool, calm, collected, confident. But were you intimidated just a little bit? Like, you know, there was a pretty stacked crew up there.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

No, not at all.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

I mean, I mean, you see Kevin Hart and Tom Sagar just like sitting there, is it almost like you know what? I'm about to make y'all laugh or not.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Well, I knew a lot of people from the LA thing, so it's like you're a bunch of those people. Yeah, I felt very comfortable. Um, but I've always just wanted to be on good shows. So that that none of that should be intimidating. It should be like, oh.

SPEAKER_03 13:49

You belong there.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

I'm here. Yeah, I'm here, I'm in the arena. Let's let's get to it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:54

Have you met Kevin Hart prior ever?

SPEAKER_01 13:56

No.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

You never worked with him or anything before?

SPEAKER_01 13:58

No. But Kevin Hart, I know he's a great businessman. He's he he works, his work ethic, it has to be immaculate. Because when the show was like running, it was like he had DraftKings, he was selling uh selling alcohol, he's got Taco Bell commercials. I was like, how you do all of this shit? Yeah. Because I was exhausted just being on set for one day, two days. Of course. I was like, okay, the work ethic is really there, and that's something to really be like marvel at. Um, Tom Segura, I'd be like, uh they asked me about him. I was like, well, yeah, I know you can't beat me in basketball.

SPEAKER_03 14:32

That's all that matters. I mean Kevin might, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:35

I mean, you know.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

He is an all-star game uh MVP.

SPEAKER_02 14:39

So there you go. What was the difference, uh, the biggest difference between doing a normal club, uh, a set rather than being on set with multiple camera angles and all competition style environment?

Cameras, Waiting, And Picking Jokes

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Uh there isn't a lot of time to prepare. It's a lot of like sitting around and waiting.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Whereas if you're at the club or like, you know, most of the time you just go somewhere by yourself.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

I do my visualizations, which I go through my set and then hit the stage.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

So, how did you decide on like what material you were going to do? Because I mean I'm curious, how long did it take you to like land on the jokes that you told?

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Uh, the first set, I just told a bunch of jokes that I thought I'll, you know, would be funny.

SPEAKER_02 15:21

I mean, the John Cena one was incredible.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

And also, I said this, and I don't know, but like I feel like you knew your audience going into it. Even telling that joke, knowing that Kevin, they've worked together before, was that intentional because of that? Because he was dying over there.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

No, I just really wanted to tell that joke. I'm a great joke. I had been telling that joke for like two, three weeks leading up. I was also kind of mad at John Cena because I auditioned for Peacemaker.

SPEAKER_03 15:42

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

And then they gave the role to Tim Meadows.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Well, you know, Tim Meadows.

SPEAKER_01 15:48

Yes, of course you knew. Leon Phelps, the ladies. Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So I was like, I was like, why the fuck you got me auditioning for this? So that's where that joke came from, is from spite.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

Okay.

Judges’ Reactions And Being Coachable

SPEAKER_03 16:05

All right, so you joked online about being a bubble spot and about judges frying you. So you got feedback in real time. What was that like?

SPEAKER_01 16:12

I didn't get feedback in real time.

SPEAKER_03 16:14

Well, you didn't get feedback. No, we were we were watching it in real time. Yeah. But when you watched it back, what was that like to see like their immediate reaction to your set?

SPEAKER_01 16:22

I was just like, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 16:24

Yeah, you took it, you took it.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

Like you Yeah, I remember I had well, y'all don't know. I had months to process it.

SPEAKER_04 16:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

After I had performed and all that, and I felt like I was like, okay. Like, I was like, ah, I had a bad set. And my manager was like, he had a good set. Because I record everything.

SPEAKER_04 16:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

I played it back, I had a good set. I know where I fucked up at. And I've have been able to accept that. So when people saw it, or when I saw the judges, I was just like, for sure. Also, it's like, this is Chelsea Handler, one of the top in the game, especially money-wise. Kevin Hart, top of the game. So I was just like, this is a this is a time for me to be coachable and actually take the criticism and just be like, for show, if that's they didn't say I wasn't funny.

SPEAKER_04 17:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

You know, I was like, maybe he built me up and I didn't live up to that expectation. That's fine. How can I get better? And that's all I'm doing.

SPEAKER_03 17:20

Do you think they aired your best stuff and what we saw?

SPEAKER_01 17:23

No.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Because the second one, I was like, wait, I feel like on the callback, I was like, wait a minute. I know Pat. Yeah. We were like, I know Pat. Oh, wait, no, wait, no, wait a minute. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 17:32

But it's TV. So that's what I'm fine with is that it's crazy. I was talking about it with somebody else. I was like, people know me now from the show, but I lost.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

Right.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

So people know me from supposedly my biggest loss.

SPEAKER_04 17:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

And no one really talks about it. They just be like, oh, the John Cedar joke. People like, well, I love that. They was telling me, keep going, you're funny. So it's like it at the time it felt like it was the world coming down on me. But like literally after a few hours, it was like, you're gonna live through this. And now it's like you're still being celebrated. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 18:07

Literally on a Netflix show. Yeah, like Kevin, like that is top of the top. Like literally the top of the top.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Yeah. So it's like, hey, bruh, you're in a position where a gazillion people wish they could have been at. Absolutely. Even the people that was on the show with you at the LA shit. So it's like, hey, bruh, like, really just live in a good mindset. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:26

Yeah. So what did Kevin Hart saying that he uh, you know, knows everybody's material and won't forget people who were on the show? What does that mean to you?

SPEAKER_03 18:36

He's never, he's all he's always gonna remember you.

SPEAKER_01 18:38

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm also a big ass nigga. I'm I'm pretty unforgettable.

SPEAKER_03 18:43

I love that.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

So um, yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be cool, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

Yeah, I mean, you have such a unique comedy style. I haven't seen anyone, I mean, I've gone to tons of comedy shows, I watched comedy all the time. I haven't heard anyone like you, and I think that's hard to say because there are a lot of comics who do sound very similar to each other because that's just kind of that's how it is. There's no one like you. That's because he's from Oakland. And also because you're seven foot tall. Wait, didn't you have a like a long game, a long NBA series you're just playing?

SPEAKER_01 19:11

And now you're sitting here in our Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got one more game to lose before.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Oh my god. What what did you learn about yourself in that experience?

SPEAKER_01 19:22

In that experience, I know that I'm really good.

SPEAKER_02 19:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

That's all that really taught me is like, okay, I'm amongst the best of the best, and I can hold my own. Uh the industry clearly fucks with me. Yeah, or else I wouldn't have been on there. And um, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

Oh, I love that. The the industry fucks with me. Well, all the things then I clearly wouldn't have been on there. That's such a that's so good. I love that.

SPEAKER_03 19:50

Yeah, you're respected. Yeah, you know, that's that's getting the especially in Los Angeles. Can only imagine how competitive competitive is in this town with comedy. If you're respected in that way, that's huge. Yeah,

The 10-Year Grind And Mindset

SPEAKER_03 20:00

right. Yeah, but you've been doing comedy for over a decade. Okay. Um, what does a grind actually look like for people who only saw the Netflix part of you? Like, what has it actually been like for the last 10 years?

SPEAKER_02 20:10

Like, how many times are you performing a week?

SPEAKER_01 20:12

Uh, I perform pretty often now. Yeah. But you know, it's it's hit or miss. That's just it. Like, if you're not a known comedian, even if you are a known comedian, it's always gonna be hit or miss. I think in anything it's hit or miss. Like, we know people are entrepreneurs or freelancers, and it's like you have a good month and you have a dry month. So it's just constantly believing in yourself. And I try to tell comedians, because now they be asked me, like, well, what do you got any advice for me? I'll be like, nigga, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. But I always tell them, like, hey man, everything matters, and it's all about your mindset. Yeah, like if it means something to you in your mind, it's going to eventually uh be something later on.

SPEAKER_03 20:58

Yeah, I mean, you're a testament to that. Yeah. So when you say there's like good months, bad months, what's like a good month or a good week like for a comedian versus a bad one?

SPEAKER_01 21:05

A good week would probably be like six, seven shows.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

Wow, that's a lot.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

Are you performing the same material during that time or are you like just switching it up?

SPEAKER_01 21:13

Uh I'm trying to work on doing the same material for like a month or two. Yes. Just to like work all the kinks out so then I can have sets since I don't have to start traveling. So and they're gonna want, you know, 45 minute sets.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

Of course.

SPEAKER_00 21:28

Um, but I guess in New York that would be considered like because New York be like, man, if you're not doing 20 shows a week, you're not grinding.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

Right.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

But you know, most of those shows is in somebody's living room or at a bar on, you know, a rooftop.

SPEAKER_02 21:43

I mean, you've done iconic stages, you've done comedy store, laugh factory, improv, the stand in New York festivals.

Nerves Versus Excitement On Stage

SPEAKER_03 21:50

Before we ask a question, I wrote it earlier before he answered me 25 times. Do you still get nervous? Do you? Uh that's gonna say no, but the thing's gonna shut me. Down.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

No, I mean, yeah, but I get excited. I get I get which is the same as nerves. Excitement energy is the same as nervous energy, but our mind makes it nervous instead of excitement. So it's great if you can channel your nerves into excitement because they are technically the same thing. It's just our brain telling us one thing or another, which is kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

Yeah. I mean, y'all both do live events. You and Model, WWE, and you a model. I seen you out on the beaches and period. But you know, like you prepared, you know what you're doing, but it's a live event. So the excitement of like, oh, we're in a different place, there is, there's you can't predict what's gonna happen. You know, you know what you're gonna bring, but you don't know how the atmosphere is gonna be. Yeah. And that's what makes it excited.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

That was probably the I think the most nervous. I mean, yes, I've done live events and TV for many years, but like doing a show, there's nothing that's made me more nervous in my entire life. And here, I and I had something good. I could not even imagine. But here's the thing I had an advantage because everyone who was at my show were already fans of mine from WWE. So they're gonna laugh no matter what, right? No matter how bad I was, they're gonna laugh. That is not the case for like a lot of comedians. You walk into a room with maybe people who've never seen you before, and you have to make them laugh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

You don't have to.

SPEAKER_03 23:19

I mean, you don't even like I mean, like the goal is to make them laugh.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

I will never forget going to see a friend of mine do stand-up comedy, and now she's actually really funny. But this was this was her first one, and she bombed so bad, and all of us, like there was like five of us sitting there, and we were just like, fuck, like we want to laugh because like it's our friend, but also she even knew it too at the time, and obviously make a made a joke about it after, but it's like, oh, like we were just like rooting so hard for her, and I'm like, oh my god, this is not good, like, and then it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse, you know, because you're trying to like find it, find it, and it's not there, she's gone. She's like, she's in Oakland and we're in LA, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 24:05

Like, nothing better than seeing somebody try to dig themselves out of the house. And it gets deeper.

SPEAKER_03 24:11

It's like, bro, I don't want to know them because it makes me feel bad. I know, then it's like that. There was a girl, I don't know what her name was. I went to a um God, after I think I went to a big comedian town, but he had a girl open for him. I never heard of her. Um, it was one of the worst sets I'd ever. I had to get up and I go to the bar. But I felt so bad for her because she's up there doing something people or no, like tons of people would never be able to do, myself included. But sitting in the audience, and you're just like, shh, just just you gotta like you, it's like a visceral, like yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

Well, speaking of that, do you think LA is the most

LA Competition And Where Talent Lives

SPEAKER_02 24:42

competitive? Or you think there's other places? Well, you said New York is like if you're not doing 20, so maybe New York is. But do you would you say it's uh supportive or more competitive?

SPEAKER_01 24:52

LA is the most competitive place on earth. This is where everybody who becomes somebody somewhere else comes to be. Right. This is the big pool, this is the ocean. So uh yeah, I would say this is the most competitive. I'll not necessarily uh the most talented or saturated, but um you don't think LA is the most talented?

SPEAKER_03 25:14

Where would you say what city has the most talented? That New York?

SPEAKER_01 25:17

I mean, I feel at this point in time it might be Chicago.

SPEAKER_03 25:22

Chicago, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

Just because most of the people you see on television are from Chicago.

SPEAKER_03 25:27

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

So I I would say, you know, Chicago. New York has good people, has really good people. Um, everywhere has their own little pockets, but no matter what, once they become whoever the fuck they are over there, they're gonna come now. They're gonna come here to Hollywood.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:46

And then that's when that's when they're gonna be like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

And do you think that's because of the name?

SPEAKER_01 25:54

It's because this is the Mecca.

SPEAKER_03 25:56

It's the Mecca. Everyone's talented, everyone is funny, everyone is networking.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

No matter what, I've been around the world. When people say they want to come to America, they're talking about LA.

SPEAKER_03 26:06

LA.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

They're not talking about New York, they're not talking about the Bay, they're talking about LA. They want to be with the stars.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

Yeah. So well, for

SPEAKER_03 26:47

Well, then they can change an episode where like I was visiting a podcast studio.

SPEAKER_02 26:51

Yes, so then it's uh the cartoon has to have a podcast studio. Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:56

SPEAKER_02 27:29

That is what we call a support system. Kudos to your girlfriend.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

SPEAKER_02 27:44

Period. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Now, is there any work that you've done that you wish more people had seen that we get more eyeballs on?

SPEAKER_01 27:49

At the time, yes, I thought so, but the right people saw it. Yeah, and that's what that taught me. It's like, hey, well, just relax. You do the work, the things that you want will come to you.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

Yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

Stop worrying about everything.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

What's your dream comedy career if everything goes right, everything aligns?

SPEAKER_03 28:07

We all date careers like this, right? Like the yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 28:12

My dream career thing would be um this cartoon running for like 20 years.

SPEAKER_03 28:17

Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:19

Yeah, because a cartoon, I I don't gotta, I could age. I could age, but my cartoon don't gotta age.

Yeah, and the merch. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:30

Yeah, but the merch, but also the actual like filming of it and recording of it is like a voiceover with it. It's a couple hours. Yeah, it's a couple hours. Right? No, no, no. One episode, no, no, no. It's like I've been there, okay? Trust me. It's a couple hours, and you're getting paid as if you were on set for a commercial that you were there for 12 hours plus because they went over time. Do you know what I mean? It's I am in the wrong way. The time, the time of it is so insane. A voiceover work.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

And I get to be silly. I watch Hugh Jackman be do voice active.

SPEAKER_02 29:06

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

He's he's really like shirt off just you really get to get into it.

SPEAKER_02 29:12

You know what I mean? We really need to have uh we should you should write a show that is. You should write a show of the behind the scenes of making a cartoon.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

That would be like that.

SPEAKER_02 29:25

Like seeing what people do, like taking your shop, but like trying to get those voices. I would that would be so funny. Actually, you don't do it. We're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_04 29:35

We're gonna do it.

Timeless Pride And Trusting Timing

SPEAKER_03 29:38

Um we are 40 minutes

Love Island Takes And Insecurity

SPEAKER_03 29:41

of the show. We were gonna talk Love Island, we're gonna have to wait for this for another time. Uh, for those who don't know, we had our Love Island podcast. We might bring it back, we might not. Um to you. Yeah, well, we will. We'll get back into it, but we gotta talk more about you. But we'll say one one live island, one Love Island session.

SPEAKER_02 29:54

Because she can't help herself.

SPEAKER_03 29:56

It's such a good show.

SPEAKER_02 29:58

And I'm I'm over here being like, finally, we have journalism. Let's talk journalism. Love islands. Love islands.

SPEAKER_03 30:05

What is your take on just USA? What is your take on this season so far?

SPEAKER_01 30:09

Uh it might have jumped the shark a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 30:13

Uh they're trying very hard to try to top last season.

SPEAKER_03 30:17

They're trying to replicate, yeah. Even with uh, what's her name? He's like ever since she's a new huda. Um Melanie. Melanie.

SPEAKER_01 30:25

Yeah, I mean, we finding out a lot of things about Melody, though. Apparently, she used to be a plus size model.

SPEAKER_03 30:30

But she was a model, you know? So I think, you know, she still was like working her, you know.

SPEAKER_02 30:35

I mean, I I still why do you think that's such a big thing? No.

SPEAKER_03 30:43

This is not an opportunity. Well, what did I say earlier? I said I said people were saying she starved for attention. Well, I didn't even let that.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

Yeah, I was like, oh, that's a going. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 30:54

I'm so sorry. I just laughed so loud in everybody's ears. Um I apologize.

SPEAKER_03 30:58

But why do you think like if you were dating a girl, like a cute little petite girl, and then you found out later that she used to be a really big girl, would that affect how you felt about her at all? If you like hadn't known? Because I think that's what people are kind of assuming, like, oh, sincere, you know, she's like, I don't to me that doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

But I don't know, a guy's perspective. Like, what do you think?

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Uh for the guy, it doesn't matter, but for the girl, it matters. That's her whole world. Like her, it's not that she's she's who she is right now, she's always going to be the lady she was before.

SPEAKER_04 31:33

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

And so that's how I see it is that she's still reacting in uh this is gonna sound bad, in the plus size model way.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

Mind size.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

She's very defensive, she's very insecure about when other women are around because she still feels sure like the plus she still feels like she's going to be a second option or not just a model. She's a plus size model. Like so she's all you can see how she moves. There's a there's an insecurity about her looks and her appearance and about who she is that will always come out.

SPEAKER_03 32:07

Of course.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

Um, no matter what. Yeah. And that's something she has to it's a her thing, it's not anybody else's thing.

SPEAKER_03 32:12

Because she's beautiful then, she's beautiful now. Right. But you're right, the way she moves is and it's it's affecting other people in the villa because we're having a tiptoe around her emotions. And none of them even know why. Because not like anybody, and they're probably even new.

SPEAKER_02 32:24

But I will say, like, she she is taking accountability for those emotions, at least from what I saw in like the last episode, I think she kind of, you know, uh said an apology in a way of why she was feeling a certain way. Like, I don't know. I feel like it's her trying to to to apologize and say, but who knows? The season is just beginning.

SPEAKER_01 32:46

So how how do you feel about people that punch you in the face and then be like, sorry, I punched you in the face. And then they do it again.

SPEAKER_03 32:53

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

And then when you'd be like, stop punching me, and they'd be like, What are you in there?

SPEAKER_03 32:58

I need 10. No, that's two. Okay, fine, go. Give me 10. I'll just that was a crazy. That was crazy and hold up, but no, that is, she said it so many times.

SPEAKER_02 33:09

I was like, she's about to crash out. She, yeah, I was like, she is about to go in the ocean and never come back. Like she said, give her 10. She meant forever.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

And I was like, it didn't, it wasn't lost on me that it was them two beefing.

SPEAKER_03 33:22

Yeah. Of course. No, yeah, of course. Of course. And that's very yes. Okay, we're gonna go back to talking about you. We'll talk a

Quickfire Chaos And Closing Words

SPEAKER_03 33:29

little something. We're gonna do a few like quick questions. What's worse? Bombing on stage, or get this is actually kind of Love Island too, or getting what would be worse, bombing on stage or getting friend zone at the fire pit?

SPEAKER_01 33:40

Friend zoned, yeah. Friend zoned, yeah. Yeah, it's not is there's no way to backtrack that. Like a bomb, you'd be like, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna come at it again tomorrow, but the friend zone is like bro.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

I am not um well. This also, um, who would make the best comedian on the current cast? Who's the funniest?

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Um probably KC.

SPEAKER_03 34:05

I like KC. I like K. Of course you do. Why? I I like KC.

SPEAKER_01 34:10

It's funny because as soon as he popped up on the screen, my lady yelled out, he's gay!

SPEAKER_03 34:15

I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

And I was like, I was like, yo, like you I love the way he called her out, though.

SPEAKER_03 34:20

He probably is. Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't know who he's like, girl.

SPEAKER_01 34:23

I love you, but but that's why we think KC might be gay. And the pink suit and the in the plants.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Okay. Hey, maybe he's fluid.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

I was gonna say the the guy on the UK definitely.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

I'm gonna start that one. But if they're fluid, like you should, they should that should be a known thing. But he doesn't know it yet. They're 22 years old.

SPEAKER_01 34:44

Also, these kids are I think you know I know it's Pride Month, but uh as a man, you can't be fluid.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Well, yes, but but I just I mean, you you can't like I know to the point where you're coming from is you're either like gay or straight, but there are men out there who are fluid and then they find women who are like, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

I I've I've I feel you, you know? I feel you. You you're just a gay man now. Well, yeah, well, fuck ladies. Like, I can't like I don't think you and your lady gonna be out here kissing dicks together like this.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

I mean, no, hey, we're in Hollywood. We are in Hollywood. Uh okay, we're gonna we're gonna skip down here. Uh quick fire. I I need uh wait, we're gonna skip. One second. Let me get my bearings. Um we're gonna skip.

SPEAKER_04 35:34

Y'all need cue cards.

SPEAKER_03 35:36

No, I know. So this is what happens. I have to have cue cards, otherwise we're gonna get lost. Okay, wait. A standing ovation or a perfect first date. Wait, what? Oh, what would you prefer having? A standing ovation is a show. But he has a girlfriend, so it I guess this doesn't really apply. But let's imagine you were single back when you were 12. What? Maybe a little older. Wait, how long have you and your lady been together? A long time, right?

SPEAKER_01 36:01

Yeah, 13 years.

SPEAKER_03 36:02

Yeah, that's kind of how I said that.

SPEAKER_02 36:03

Oh, amazing. Okay, then fuck that question. Okay, Kevin Hart judging your set or Ariana Maddox judging your flirting.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

Ariana Maddox, she's kind of a I'm gonna have to say Kevin Hart. I mean, yeah, I was gonna say that too. I'm still kind of confused by why people be so into Ariana Maddox.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

Me too.

SPEAKER_01 36:25

But uh me too. She's no mamma jamma. I'll say that.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

I mean, I think we like her better blonde.

SPEAKER_01 36:31

I think I've I I heard her story. I understand why people support her.

SPEAKER_03 36:35

Well now we're moving on now. Now we've had way more scandals in reality TV. I don't know if you watch Summerhouse and shit's going down.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:42

Yeah, there's a lot.

SPEAKER_03 36:43

Would you rather have a joke that kills forever? Like John Cena? Also, who?

SPEAKER_02 36:48

Like, I feel like I feel like there's like uh there is like a a band practicing back there. So sorry.

SPEAKER_03 36:56

Would you rather have a joke that kills forever or a relationship that lasts forever?

SPEAKER_02 36:59

Well, I got both, so I know that's right. I know that's motherfucking right. Okay. Next one, even better. Be famous for comedy or famous for reality TV.

SPEAKER_03 37:11

I mean, once reality TV stars are getting 10 years.

SPEAKER_02 37:14

I mean, yeah, once you're famous being a reality television star, you can do whatever the fuck you want. So answer that carefully.

SPEAKER_01 37:20

I think reality TV, because then I don't necessarily have to work. I just gotta show up.

SPEAKER_03 37:24

And then it will help launch your company even more. But also look at Ace.

SPEAKER_01 37:29

It's like, yo, I could just walk red carpets and you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:32

Right? And get paid $100,000 to post the skincare in the don't exactly.

SPEAKER_01 37:37

What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_03 37:38

Orlandria is doing but she is a she is uh an anomaly. Holy cow. Yeah she deserved it though. I love Olandria. All right, worst place to bomb a comedy club, a first date, or a family function.

SPEAKER_01 37:52

Hmm. I'm gonna say a first date.

SPEAKER_03 37:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:55

Because your family, they don't believe in you anyway.

SPEAKER_03 37:58

That part.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

So that part. They're like, I always knew it, nigga. Go take the trash.

SPEAKER_03 38:04

You famous, you you pay these bills, go take the trash out.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

So this is what you do. And I always say if you watch them show Seinfeld, he's a famous comedian. Yeah, nobody that he knows gives a fucking.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

He gives a shit. Right. I know.

SPEAKER_01 38:17

George Costanza is the most unsuccessful person. He's like, Oh, you're gonna do your little stuff.

SPEAKER_02 38:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:22

And it's just like, yo, I'm fucking on NBC.

SPEAKER_03 38:24

Exactly. They keep you humble though.

SPEAKER_02 38:27

He's like, I'm getting my residuals for the rest of my life. My syndication.

SPEAKER_03 38:30

Yesterday I met I met an old friend from uh my childhood, first time I've seen her, probably in 15 years. Went to lunch yesterday. She's like, So what are you doing? I'm like, you know, like I've done this, that I've been in a few movies. She goes, Oh, like an extra? I was like, damn, she humbled me fast. But like people, like, no.
