You be nice, grounded, sensible when you're in a relationship, and as soon as you get out, you just become problematic. You stop tipping. You start sending me texts like, can we talk about this on the podcast?

SPEAKER_01 5:36

And I'm like, absolutely. Because when you when you have a girlfriend, everything in your life is just even killed. You know what I'm saying? You don't gotta worry about none of that. But you gotta when you're single, you're like, all right, cool. These bitches ain't shit.

SPEAKER_00 5:48

You got so much going on outside of that. But you just become problematic. I'm like, we got problematic mall again. Problematic mall sells tickets, though. So that's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

SPEAKER_00 6:31

SPEAKER_01 6:45

It's got good flavor. It's a good flavor. It's just that hot. You feel me?

SPEAKER_00 6:48

I'm about to pull my blackstone around front and just start selling burgers and dogs.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

For who?

SPEAKER_00 6:53

Neighborhood. The one black neighbor in the whoever wants to buy it. I'll take it over outside that construction site.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

Side hustles, man.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

I need a real hustle.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

You were you were a DJ? Mm-hmm. I don't know if you DJ anymore. It's been a while. Remember you were a DJ for a minute. Uh uh, you still do comedy. Just got back into comedy. Just got back into comedy. You were selling clothes. I need to sell something.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

I got some merch. You're selling hats? I got some merch. I still need to move some merch.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

Yeah, I remember that. So remember you selling hats. So every time something dies, you create something new.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

I think I got ADHD. And just not diagnosed.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

That's why comedy is for you. You don't like a nine to five.

SPEAKER_00 7:38

No, absolutely not. You gotta you gotta branch out. I gotta branch out. We should have brought some water up here though. It is the more, the more you talk and the more I eat it, the more I'm like, back my tongue burning. Yeah, I do, I do bounce around. I need to. I stuck with comedy a long time though, and I I got into comedy so heavy because I was, I was like, I want to act and I want to do this. And I was like, let me just focus on comedy. And I focused on it, and I had some heat. I had some good years, and then it felt like this shit started going backwards. I was like, well, let me just let me chill out. Also, I was talking about this uh the other day. I think we talked about this too, though, like the lack of crowd work clips. I got out when it started being all crowd work. For people that shouldn't have been doing crowd work, though. Like there were there are people who are really good at crowd work, and there's some people like you should do your jokes.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

There's some people out there who's just like it's like you do crowd work, but then it's people who like forcing it.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Right on every show, where it's like, you don't have to. Right. You don't have to do it. No. You know what I mean? It's not mandatory. Or you can do crowd work to get into a bit. Get into your bit, but it's everybody, you have to go behind six or seven comics who just go, hey, so what do you do? What do you do for a living?

SPEAKER_00 8:53

That's the other thing. Like, if you aren't in the room and someone's doing crowd work, then you asking the same person the same question.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Same question. Like, what do you do for a living? And all the crowds like, we already know he's ugly bummer.

SPEAKER_00 9:05

We talked about this. So I got out during that time. But you know, it's coming back. After after funny as fuck, everybody wants real comedy again. So I'm like, all right, back in my wheelhouse.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

I don't think everybody wants real comedy. I still think it's a it's a crowd work driven. Because all the famous people right now are crowd work people.

SPEAKER_00 9:25

You how many crowd work clips do you see come across your feed though, compared to what you used to see?

SPEAKER_01 9:30

It's goddamn. Yeah. Like I don't see Matt Reich all the fucking time anymore.

SPEAKER_00 9:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

But I've s I've I still see Nate Jackson, Mojo Brooks. You still see like some of the random white guys, obviously, will just do crowd work.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

And I still like to. And I'll see some shitty crowd work videos, and they'll still blow up. I unfollowed most mainstream people. The mainstream guy? Like I like, well, one, just because I didn't want to keep getting distracted on Instagram, just like scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. So like it's like it's mostly now where like people I know and then some other stuff. Like I unfollowed most like music artists, most comedians that like I don't know or like interact with. So it's it's almost like a Facebook, but just on Instagram now. I still got like a few here and there people that like are bigger and stuff like that, but it's mostly just like people I know and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

Oh yeah. So yeah, I think I I did, I think the the unfollowing purge I did, I I unfollowed all the all the ass.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

All the ass? Now and I followed you if you didn't follow me and like we are on the same like level or anything like that.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

And they didn't follow you back? Yeah, I'm like I don't follow people back though. Huh? I don't follow because I don't have like other comedians follow me, even from they like from New Jersey or some shit. They'll follow me. I only follow them back. But it's like I don't know you.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Yeah, I'm not talking like I'm talking about like people you would know though.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Like in the scene?

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Yeah, like in the scene, or like you do a show where you like you follow them, they don't follow back. And I'm like, we on the same level. I'm actually better than you. I just haven't been out. I just actually haven't been out in a while.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

That'd be me though. I don't follow, I don't follow the new comics. Like they'll follow me, like the new comics, they'll just meet me or something, they'll follow me, and I don't follow them back. And then I'll be on like a show with them, and then you know when it's that little group chat they'll shoot, they'll shoot you, like, hey, welcome to the show. And I'll see it like follow back, follow back, follow back, follow back, follow back. I'll be like, damn, I don't follow none of these motherfuckers. All these dudes follow me. But then you know, I'll talk to them. I'll follow back the cool ones that I like. Yeah, and then the weird ones I'll just leave them. Yeah, no, that's comedy only. As it should be. You're weird, so I'm gonna leave you over there. But the cool ones I'll follow back. It's funny if I meet a new dude.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

Because uh Chandella, he was like, he's like, or no, Mike, Phil Mike was like, You gonna start getting out more? I was like, yeah, I'm gonna start getting out more. I was like, until the baby comes and then you know I'll have to take a little break and then you can do a Phil Mike. Phil Mike ain't stopped. Yeah, no, he's still. It's funny, I've seen that with a few people where they have a baby and it seems like they start getting out more.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Yeah. So you know what I'm saying? It's a bad dad life, man.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

I don't know what type of dad you want to be. It'll be a great one. It'll be a great one. It'll be a really, really good dad. It's gonna be a really good dad. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna be a fun dad, stern when I need to be. So you're gonna uh beat or not beat? Nah, I mean that that would be the last resort. Beat the kid? Yeah, it's gotta be like you have to have done something. Something to really piss you off to get a get an asshole from TJ Versus. Yeah, but uh, I don't think they're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

So we're gonna say we grounding? I don't think black families ground, man.

SPEAKER_00 12:29

Yeah, I don't really ground. We'll have to see. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Have you ever been grounded? Have your parents ever said TJ Thomas.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

They've never grounded. They've never labeled it as groundy. I remember I had my own phone line when I was in high school. Oh, you know, ball it.

SPEAKER_01 12:44

No, I don't know, sir.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

So I had my own phone line, but I mean that would get like landline, not talking like cell phones now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

So I had my own 277-9322. That was my number. That was my old number. Um, they would take my phone away from me. Oh, like the movies. Yeah, so like they would take my phone away, or sometimes I'd be like, you gotta ride the bus to school. You can't drive to school, but it was never like a full-on like grounding.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

You live you were living a good life, bro. What? Driving to school?

SPEAKER_00 13:11

This sounds just like the movies. Riding a school bus was miserable. Like I I think once I got to ninth grade, I stopped.

SPEAKER_01 13:17

Some of us didn't have a choice.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Once I got to ninth grade, I stopped riding the school bus. There was a dude that used to live down the street from me. His name was Nick Rains. He would pick me up every morning in ninth grade, and then once I could drive. In the what grade? Ninth grade. Okay. When I was a freshman.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Yeah, your country accent came up right there.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

What'd I say? Ninth grade grade.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

I ain't never heard that, bro. You've been hiding that shit. I got into the ninth grade. I was like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

So he would pick me up and then well, I guess I wasn't really driving until junior year, but I wasn't riding the bus. Oh my bo, my homeboy, my best friend Daniel, he would pick me up after that. He would come through every morning and pick me up. He's a white dude. Yeah, white dude. Yeah. Um, so he would come through and pick me up, and then, you know, I had my car when I was in 11th grade, which was uh what was your first car? I never had a car. All right, never mind. I'll tell you about my first car. He lived different lives, dude. This was your first car. I had never had a car. Never had a car. My bad. It was a I had an 89 Jeep Cherokee. 89? Damn. 89 Jeep Cherokee. It was maroon. And one of my homeboys, his name was Kevin. His brother, his older brother had gotten in trouble or something. So his parents were like, nope, we we getting ready a car. And they sold it to you? They sold it to me. So like I I don't know how I caught wind of it, but I told my dad, and I think they wanted like $1,800, $1,900 for it. So we went over there, we looked at it, and uh, you know, I was like, what would you take? And then he was like, the dad, his name was Kenny, he was like, Oh, you know, maybe how about $1750? And my dad was like, that's like an odd number. How about $1,700? So they bought the car, took it home. Next day, me and my homeboy tinted the windows, like super dark, like get pulled over by the cops dark. Yeah, pulled up. And then uh I had a sound system in that bitch. I mean, that's my ride type of shit?

SPEAKER_01 15:20

Huh? Like a pimp my ride type of sound system.

SPEAKER_00 15:21

I had two twelves in the back. I mean, it was just uh that shit would be rattling, bro. Be rattling I forgot it was some mystical song. Shake it, Shake It Fast? It wasn't Shake It Fast, but it was on that uh it was on that album, it was on the tarantula album, but that shit would be me against the wall.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

Or danger. Get on the flow.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

A nigga like me. I forget, it wasn't it wasn't any any of the mainstream songs. Oh, it's over. It was something else on that CD though, and that shit went rattle, bro. I thought I was so cool. I put some rims on it. I had some damn 16. But you had a job back then? Where you get this money from? No, well, I used to work summers with my dad. And he paid you? Yeah. See my dad would have never paid me if I worked with him. Oh no, that should have been free. But I used to be mad, bro. I used to be mad because like he paid me, but he didn't pay me a lot, and I'd have friends that were like lifeguarding, like making more money, and I'm out here doing physical, hard labor.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

With your dad. Yeah. Yeah, I did a regular job.

SPEAKER_00 16:26

Bill's character, though, you know. But I'm out there happy. How was Bill's character? Riding the bus. But riding the bus is miserable, bro.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

Riding the school bus, man.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

Miserable.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

See, that's see, y'all, you lived a different life. You know what I you couldn't walk to school? I had to walk to school in high school. I was two miles.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

So you used to walk two miles, four miles total every day.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

Yeah, yeah. So once you were two miles in PG County, that's the walking distance. So you had to walk in high school.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

How are they gonna make you walk four miles when you still gotta go to PE? PE was first PE was first class. So you sweating when you get to school, you sweating in PE.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

Did y'all used to shower in PE? No.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Yeah. Because my graduating class was only like 160. But we had a weightlifting class. And there was a nigga in there named Troy, bro, and he was musty. Before he started weightlifting? Just in general. Yeah. Before, after. No, like African? No, he wasn't African. Regular black dude. Regular black dude. And uh, I mean, he was musty, so I would just like I was always like class clowns. I would just make kind of like snide comments, like, what the what's that smell? And everybody knows what that smell is. What is that? And then uh I would start singing. I was singing, ain't nobody dope as me. I'm just so preciously. You was a bully, bro.

Now you're thinking about it. I guess I was kind of a bully. I bullied the kid. I had my moments, bro. I had a video camera in high school. So I had this little video camera, and I did this thing one day. I went around and saw how many kisses I could get throughout the day. It was just kisses on cheek, and I think I ended up with like 50 or something. Um, but it was this dude, his name was Andrew, and that man he had who acne. I was like, God. I was like, I'm like, I'm here with the ugliest man in America. Unwanted the ugliest. You know, a menace, man. And then we would do that. I forget what movie it was from. It was some movie, it was a football movie where they like, it might have been the program where you knocked the football out of somebody's head, be like, Fumble, and everybody just started trying diving on the ball. So I would do that throughout the hallway and stuff. And people dived? Yeah, actually dive with fumble. So all the dudes would dive on the ball, try to get the ball.

And they text you after like they text you during the weekend before nine, the weekdays before nine o'clock, when it was 10 cents or 25 cents a message, depending on who your plan was. And then niggas like, yo, don't text me until weekends after nine. You know what I'm saying? Like, you're not important enough to text me during the weekday. Weekends after nine, you text me.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:40

I just kept faking go to school every day. And this was before a fucking smartphone, so you ain't had nothing to watch. So I had to just sit there for eight hours and walk back at three o'clock in my uniform. Like, hey mom, I'm back. I got kicked off the bus. This is a middle school, so the school was farther than two miles. The middle school was farther than two miles away. So I had to take a school. I had to take a school bus. But I got kicked off the bus. Wasn't my fault. They was throwing like paperballs. And then like the lady, the assistant bus driver, you know, it's like a bus driver that was a person that controls the kids. Yeah. Assistant bus driver was like, who the fuck threw the papers? And she thought it was me. But so I can't snitch. Right. I'm like, I can't snitch. I'm like, it was me. So I was just like, yeah, you know, yeah, I ain't throw it, but I don't know who threw it. And I ain't throw it, but I don't know who threw it though, but it wasn't me. And then she's like, I know, I know you threw it. And as soon as we got out of the bus, she like walked me to the principal office. I'm like, he disrupting my bus. And the principal office took me and she kicked me off the bus. She's like, now you gotta get a ride to school. But I couldn't tell my mom that.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:50

How long? How far was that?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:51

SPEAKER_01 1:09:39

Or do you have to go on to get this?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:42

I found all these at the ABC store. But they treat bourbons like sneakers, bro. So they're like, it's called allocated. So I only put them out at certain spots. That's why, like in Virginia, the alcohol is a monopoly. You can only buy at the ABC store. But that's why, like, when I was in Maryland yesterday trying to find that bottle of stag and he was like $275, I'm like, yo, this is a $70 bottle that y'all have marked up to $270 because it's so hard to find. So they treat it like sneakers.
