[01:02:01:04 - 01:02:07:20] He's good, he did an album. He did an album, he made a song about his ex and didn't make one about me. So yeah, so. What's up, all right? Right.

[01:02:08:22 - 01:02:09:02] No.

[01:02:10:09 - 01:02:11:13] (Laughing) What?

And growing up, you were born in Miami? Yeah, yeah, Cara City, Florida. Okay.

[01:02:45:20 - 01:02:49:15] Yeah, I grew up in Miami my whole life. I've been, all my school's in Miami.

[01:02:51:02 - 01:04:50:22] Yeah. Are you ever gonna leave or are you gonna stay here? I'm staying here. Right? Miami's a fucking vibe. This is home. I feel like I've been to a lot of places. Nothing's like here. Nothing is like Miami. Nothing's also like the prices of the houses. Yes. Right? That's the only like-- Downside, yeah. Other than that, I'm cool. I don't know, I saw a post yesterday that says the houses are gonna go down next year. I hope so. I really, I mean-- I seen that post three years ago. You've been seeing that since COVID. I've seen that post three years ago. It just still ain't gonna go down. Oh man, it's anyways. I mean, I hope it goes down for the other people buying houses a little too late for us because we just bought one. Yeah, yeah. But yeah. I pray it go down and I'll be so happy. (Laughing) I'll be so happy. Has comedy changed anything for you? Comedy changed my life. Comedy gave me a focus. Comedy gave me energy. Comedy gave me everything, an image. So I mean, it changed my life. Like I do it full time. I don't have a nine to five. So comedy is my job. So I just, I love it. I get a thrill out of being on stage and performing in front of people and all that good stuff. So you do, I know you were at the Improv. Yeah, yeah. Not long ago. Do you do a lot of shows at the Improv? Yeah, yeah. I've sold out the Improv in Miami, Dania, West Palm when they had it, Tampa, I've done it all. That's amazing. Yeah, I've done it all. So I love the Improv. Shouts out to my Improv family, Justin, Melissa, you all know the vibes. (Laughing) For sure. Next time you have one, we're definitely gonna come. I know you got karaoke's at Tootsie's. Every Wednesday at Tootsie's. Every Wednesday at Tootsie's. Yeah, yeah. So it'll be a lot of drunk singing and good vibes. Good vibes. No titties though? Sometimes. Sometimes? Sometimes titties, sometimes not. Okay, but is it titties from like the other side or is it titties from like? No, it's titties from the karaoke. (Laughing) Karaoke titties. Karaoke titties. Singing titties. So every Wednesday karaoke titties at Tootsie's. Karaoke titties at Tootsie's, man. Full up, man. You ever seen singing titties? Sing, that, that. You know what? If mine are healed by then maybe I'll show them off.

[01:04:52:17 - 01:04:55:06] (Laughing) No, no, I'm not gonna do that. You guys gotta pay for that.

[01:04:56:07 - 01:05:01:17] (Laughing) Subscribe. Subscribe. There you go. We always gotta sneak that little linky link in there. You know what I mean?

[01:05:04:07 - 01:05:22:00] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Okay, was there a specific moment other than when your friends told you like you gotta try stand up? Was there a moment where you're like thinking about it but you weren't sure and then they convinced you or was there like a time where you're like, okay, maybe I could really do this? I never thought about it until they said it. Really? When they said it I was like, oh shit, damn.

[01:05:23:14 - 01:05:48:18] First I said no. I'm like, no. They're like, you should try it bro. I'm like, aight, I'll give it a shot. Why not? And next thing you know, but then not a thing about it, I used to watch stand up all the time when I was little. Com, all the movies, the genre of movies I used to watch is like company, company. So I'm like, I was meant for this. Not even knowing it, not even paying attention to what I'm doing. Just doing it like, you know, subconsciously but you know how they go. Which one, which stand up is your favorite? Which?

[01:05:50:04 - 01:05:52:04] I like Sunset by Richard Pryor. Okay.

[01:05:53:13 - 01:05:54:23] I like Mike Epps.

[01:05:56:17 - 01:06:29:04] Cat Williams. Oh my God. The one where he comes out and it's every day I'm hustling and then the whole, the thing with the fucking fries and the salt. I think that was like the best stand up of all time. But the first one you said, I don't know who that was. Richard Pryor. He's like, he's one of the godfathers of comedy. I'm sure if I see his picture, I'll know who he is. He's the foundation of comedy. Richard Pryor? Richard Pryor, Red Fox, there's a whole bunch of them. I love, I just love comedy period. He's deceased now. Yeah. But you ever seen Harlem Nights?

[01:06:31:02 - 01:06:44:08] I see Harlem Nights is one of those classic movies because they had all the comedians in there like Eddie Murphy, they had Red Fox, they had a whole bunch of people. Richard Pryor. Okay. It's just like, it's a staple in the black community to watch that movie.

[01:06:45:15 - 01:07:15:17] Harlem Nights. Harlem Nights. I'm gonna add that to my list. Tell me what you think after you watch it. I will. Now I gotta finish His and Hers. I don't know if you've seen that on Netflix. I've seen people talking about it. I didn't watch it yet though. Okay, so I have like an episode and a half to go and people are saying that the ending is wild and you won't believe it. So it's a must watch. So once I'm done with that, is it on Netflix, Harlem Nights? I don't know if they put it on Netflix. I don't know. It should be. Netflix puts stuff on it. Yeah, if not, we'll illegally stream it from somewhere. Sure, for sure. I see your link.

[01:07:17:06 - 01:07:18:10] Oh my God, okay.

[01:07:19:13 - 01:07:22:23] So, I gotta get my questions right because I don't want to miss something.

[01:07:24:02 - 01:07:28:11] Social media is a big part of helping everybody grow. Creators.

[01:07:29:11 - 01:07:39:16] When did you get into the social media space? Soon as it started, Vine days. I don't know if you remember Vine. Vine? You probably remember Vine, yeah. I'm older than you. Okay, no, for real? I'm 34.

[01:07:41:03 - 01:08:11:04] So respect me on your elder. I'll be 34 in like two weeks. Oh really, when's your birthday? February 11th. February 11th, okay. Like four weeks. Okay. Vine, so, and then when I started doing stand up, I think I started doing stand up before Vine came out. But when Vine came out, I'm like, and the social media came out, I'm like, I'm gonna just use this platform to grow my brand and my fan base. So that's what I did. I used the platform to grow my following and started doing shows. So everybody come out and see it. I had a game plan. Yeah, that's crazy how social media just like

[01:08:11:04 - 01:08:55:12] fucking can make you blow up. And it could also be like the death of you also. It's a curse. It is, yeah, you just gotta know how to use it. Have you ever, I was talking with Saks about this, about reading comments because obviously, okay, so you don't read them anymore. I like that. But is there a comment that you got, whether it was negative or positive, that like really stuck out to you that still to this day. I used to read all the negative comments, you just stick out to me all the time. And I was just like, you know what, let me stop reading this, I'll put myself in a space and get mad. When these people, that's their job to make you mad and make you feel away. Somebody's gonna say something. Exactly. I don't care if you're giving out a million dollars to a homeless person, somebody's gonna say something. Exactly, exactly. Haters are gonna hate

[01:08:55:12 - 01:08:57:20] that's all that they do. I feel like it's

[01:08:57:20 - 01:08:58:18] you guys,

[01:08:58:18 - 01:08:59:20] you, Haters.

[01:09:01:19 - 01:09:07:02] (Laughing) Beep it, it's all cut it out. Put like a little emoji on the finger.

[01:09:08:11 - 01:09:11:08] So when you said you did your first stand up and you forgot your jokes,

[01:09:12:14 - 01:10:32:18] like did you have to improvise or did you just like? Improvise, and I actually said it. I actually told the crowd, I'm like, I forgot all my jokes y'all. Like, this is my first time, I'm trying. They're like, keep going, keep going, keep going. I'm like, all right, bet. So then when they said that, like, the jokes start coming back, I'm like, all right, bet, let's get rolling, let's do it. Jokes start coming back, I'm like, okay. I got a few laughs, that's all I needed. I'm like, oh shit, I got a few laughs? I know I can get them, I can, if I get good at it, I know I can get more. So let's do it, that's what I did. Do you do a lot of freestyling when you're on stage? Or do you-- I improv a lot, improv a lot. But I have an actual set, I do improv a lot, yeah. How do you remember that stuff? Because I feel like I have a very, I know I have a very good memory, like when it comes to remembering things, the older I get though, it's just getting worse. But like, I still remember my best friend's phone number from grade two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, weird shit like that. But then when it comes to like, when I watch standups, I'm like, how the fuck do they remember? Do they have like a teleprompter or something? It's muscle memory. Really? So repetition, so commonly, you have to work out your jokes, you have to work out your material, to perfect it, to sharpen it, to add to it, to take something away, to see how you're gonna deliver it, to see how it sounds. Yeah. Like, it's repetition, so it's muscle memory. Do you, do you like, what's the word I'm looking for? Do you, what's the word I'm looking for?

[01:10:33:19 - 01:12:04:16] You're too old now, babe. I am, you see? Do you practice in front of your friends, or like family, or do you just-- You know what's crazy? My first, when I told you I had my first show, right? My friends made me perform in front of them at a park. It was for them sitting on the bench, and they said, do your set in front of us. So imagine doing a 10, 20 minute set in front of four people, and they're not laughing, because they just, you know, your friends don't laugh at this, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Were the kids around? Yeah, I'm like, why are you, I'm like, why y'all not laughing? Yeah. They're like, we're trying to hear the jokes. Yeah. They're not helping me. Yeah. So I did it, I said, you know what? All right, cool. If I could do this, I could do anything. Exactly. If I could perform in front of four people at a park, I could do anything, I didn't even write up. Sometimes it's easier to perform in front of a lot of people, versus just a small crowd, right? Yes, yes, yes. When a set in is comedy oriented, it's always gonna vibe, and people gonna have a good time. So I performed, I did over a ton of shows. Some shows was in strip clubs, some shows was in bars, some shows was in comedy clubs. It's just different auras, and I feel like when an aura is right, when a comedy setting is there, you wanna have a good time. It's funny you say that about comedy setting. So when I watch on TikTok or Instagram Reels, you have little bits of people's standup comedy and whatever, and then there's the hecklers, or like, "That's racist!" Or, "You can't talk about that!" You know what I mean? I feel like if you're gonna go to a comedy show,

[01:12:05:18 - 01:12:42:18] you can't get offended with anything. And then there's so many people that still go, like what, we can't talk about the gays? We can't talk about different races? You're literally going there to laugh at people, and then there's people who get offended and literally have to get escorted out, because they're just offended. It's like, "Girl, why'd you come?" I told you, everybody has a job. Yeah, yeah. So that's their job, to fill a way. They came there with that on their mind, like, "I'm gonna fill a way if they talk about this tonight." But, which it shouldn't be like that. And I feel like comedy is getting soft. Now we can't talk about certain things. I grew up on a comedy, watching comedy, when it was like raw.

[01:12:43:18 - 01:13:03:09] So it was crazy, like the stuff they said. And they would just say it today, it'd be like, "Oh shit." Yeah, right? You know what I'm saying? Times have changed. Yeah, drastically. People have to be careful with what they say. Do you, does that ever happen to you, where you're like, "Okay, I can't talk about this." She's like, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna say whatever "I wanna say, if you don't like it,

[01:13:03:09 - 01:13:40:23] (Upbeat Music) If you're watching this right now, I bet you care about how you look, feel, and smell, especially smell. And that's why I am here to talk to you about King Rilla. They make all natural soaps, shampoos, lip balms, and deodorants for men. But I'm not gonna lie, I use them as well. They use organic ingredients that keep you feeling fresh all day long. And trust me, you deserve to treat yourself like a king. So do yourself and your girlfriend a favor by visiting them at kingrilla.com. You won't regret it. Oh, and don't forget to use my promo code Lexistar to get 15% off your order.

[01:13:40:23 - 01:14:06:01] say whatever I wanna say, because it's comedy, comedy is outlet, comedy is emotion. So comedy is, being a comedian is, to me, is saying things that people are scared to say. Yeah. Like, and make light of it. So you can, being a comedian, you can make light of a dark situation. Just, you know how you put your stone or whatever, but say things that people are afraid of. A lot of people are afraid to talk about a lot of stuff. So when they hear somebody else talk about it, they're like, "Oh yeah, that's crazy."

[01:14:07:02 - 01:14:29:23] I thought about that, you know what I'm saying? But it's like, what's his name, Mr. Rogers? Mr. Rogers. He, there was a clip of him back in the days when he's like, "A boy is a boy, and a girl is a girl. "And you can't be a girl if you're a boy." And then we're like, imagine if people said this. Nowadays, people would get so fricking offended, right? You know who's one of my favorite comedians,

[01:14:31:00 - 01:15:13:06] of all time, right now? Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle, love his last special. I promise you, he's the GOAT. He really is. He will say the things that people are thinking. And you can't do nothing about it. No. Like what the fuck are you gonna do? No. I'm gonna say whatever I wanna say, it's funny. Yeah, exactly. I like that he don't talk about just one thing. He talks about everybody. Like, you feel me? It's not just one specific group that he's talking about. He's just bashing everyone. Everyone, so it's cool. Like, laugh at this shit. I'm black, I know I eat fried chicken. Like, it'll be dumb as shit of me to be mad at somebody saying, "Black people eat fried chicken." Like, yes we do, we know that shit, I love it. You get some chicken when I leave here. Like, it's cool.

[01:15:14:08 - 01:15:15:22] With some Kool-Aid. Yeah, it's like,

[01:15:15:22 - 01:15:19:22] some red Kool-Aid, purple, preferably, like, it's cool.

[01:15:21:04 - 01:15:27:08] Oh my God, is there, so I mean, I think you responded to this before, but is there a joke you wouldn't say?

[01:15:29:11 - 01:15:59:05] I don't, if it's not my style, I ain't gonna say it. I don't force jokes, I don't force topics. If I feel like I wanna talk about it, I'll talk about it. Do you think there's different types of comedy? Yes. So explain that to me, because I have been told that I'm funny when I insult people. Okay. Or when people get hurt. Okay. And yeah, I have like a dark humor. It's definitely dark humor. That's the type of comedy. A lot of white comics have dark humor.

[01:16:00:16 - 01:16:09:01] It'd be funny as shit though. Yeah. It's funny as shit to me. I love white comedy, by the way, so I said all the white comedians, thank y'all so much. Who's a good white comedian?

[01:16:12:12 - 01:16:14:21] Bill Burr, I think his name is Bill Burr.

[01:16:16:23 - 01:16:18:23] It's a couple. What about Tom Segura?

[01:16:20:09 - 01:16:26:18] Tom Segura's good. He's good. Tom Segura's good. The one who's always topless? Yes, yes. What's up?

[01:16:28:00 - 01:16:33:02] Burt Kershaw. Yeah, him, he's good. He's funny. What about Theo Von?

[01:16:35:01 - 01:16:57:03] Bob Saggart was amazing. Bob Saggart. Bob Saggart. He was amazing. Yeah. Yeah, it's just, man, listen, I don't take, I'm a fan of comics, so I watch all comics, from Arabic to American to black, white, Spanish, orange, black, yellow, I don't care what it is. Yeah, it's funny, it's funny. It's funny, it's funny, so I like comedy, period. So what type of comedy would you say your style is?

[01:17:00:05 - 01:17:49:05] I'm more of a like, or I like to paint the picture to my jokes, I like, it's like relatable, relatable comedy. That's what I'm gonna say, relatable comedy, because the shit I talk about is shit stuff out of menthol, stuff I don't see, stuff that other people don't see, like shit like that, so I'm gonna say, I do relatable comedy. Because I read the Kevin Hart book, his book, and his mentor was like, you gotta talk about stuff that you know, right, so stuff that has happened to you. Yeah. Right, so. See, Kevin Hart's a storyteller. Yeah, yeah. So like, his jokes are like storytellers, some comedians have jokes that are like punchlines, you know what I'm saying? So it's different styles of comedy, for sure. So you have the storyteller, you have the punchlines, you have the relatable comedy, you have the politic comedy, you have the, like it's just the dark humor, you have, it's just a whole--

[01:17:50:16 - 01:18:23:20] Variety. Yeah, it's crazy. I feel like there's one thing that always comes back in comedy is it's, like they're always gonna bring back something, like they're always, they're gonna say something in the beginning, I'm like, oh, this is so gonna come back at the end, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like they always like kind of-- I love that. Blend it back in together. Yes, I love that, I love that. I gotta, my set does that, so yeah. Nice. It's lit. Did you have, who did you look up to? When I was growing up, Sejal and Tana, I was a big fan, I used to watch teams of comedy all the time, so Sejal and Tana, Bernie Mac, like Steve Harvey, the whole shebang.

[01:18:25:01 - 01:18:38:21] Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey's funny. Yeah, yeah. He's fricking funny, he's smart, he's smart as well. Jerry Seinfeld, yeah, it was a whole bunch. Did you have any mentors?

[01:18:40:08 - 01:18:51:03] Yes, I had a good friend of mine, I call him my mentor when I be playing with him, but a good friend of mine actually helped me like start comedy and he's not even a comedian, he's just a good person, so that's how I'm a W.D.

[01:18:52:07 - 01:18:58:21] Actually helped me start comedy and just to keep me focused and grounded and stuff like that, so. Nice, and did you ever receive any,

[01:19:00:14 - 01:19:45:13] well, good and bad comedy advice? Yes, yes, yes. When I first started, I used to rush my jokes, so OG comedian, Steve Brown, comedian Steve Brown, shout out to COG, he told me like, man, slow down, like it's okay, like you can say your jokes like you know they're funny. Don't say them like you practiced it, and you're trying to get it off. Say your jokes like they're funny. Monique told me, I did the Shaq all-star comedy jam in Tampa, she said, baby, keep going. Monique Monique? Yeah. Oh, nice. I got off stage, she made them clap for me again. Nice. And I give it up for him again, da-da-da, and she's like, baby, keep going, da-da-da, that just did something to me. That's amazing, okay, so you've been around some like famous people. Yeah, I perform with a lot of people, DeRay Davis, Michael Blackston, Tommy Davidson,

[01:19:46:20 - 01:19:59:03] Earthquake, Bruce Bruce, LaNell. Nice. Yeah, a lot of Mike Epps. Wow. Yeah. Awesome. Lil Duval, yeah, a lot of people. DC on fly, Shaq's on my dial, DC on fly.

[01:20:00:10 - 01:20:09:16] Yeah, I've been around a long time. You had a little, not a little, I say that word a lot. Who said, I think it was Stax, like stop saying a little. You do say a lot. Eh?

[01:20:11:08 - 01:20:54:15] You did Drinking Around the World with Roy Ross? Yeah, I was, Shaq's like my dog, Ross, man. We're from the same place, from Carrot City, so a lot of people say I look like him. Yeah. Say we look alike, yeah. Yeah. So I see it. You see it? Yeah. Like his little brother. Yeah, yeah. Just gotta get my beer together, and I'll be all right. But yeah, Shaq's out of our world, Drinking Around the World is going crazy, Shaq's out of my brother Stax, Rook, and 5K, yeah. We got the whole crew, we're just missing 5K, and I told Stax that we should do like a Drinking Around the World podcast episode. That'll be lit, that'll be lit. So we're working on 5K's English still, so once we get his English together. English? Yeah, his English. His English? Honey, come, honey. Honey, honey, honey. So he's learnt a few words so far. Okay.

[01:20:56:23 - 01:21:00:01] We wanna make sure, you know, like a couple more sentences, and then we can bring

[01:21:00:01 - 01:21:24:10] them on a show. We can bring a translator. That'll be a good idea. We should do episodes like just being funny, and just having a fucking-- Yeah, just have a few drinks. A sign, a person that does sign next to us. Hey guys, we do have AI now that translated in real time. We can do that. That'll be lit as fuck. Okay, there's something that I've realized. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like every time I watch a comedy special, I feel like they're either drunk or high.

[01:21:25:13 - 01:21:41:18] Yeah, I mean, whatever gives you that space to be yourself. Okay, so do you have to like prep before you get-- I'll take a shot or two before I get on stage. You take a shot or two, yeah? Before I get on stage, I'll take a shot or two, and I drink on stage also. Yeah. You just get comfortable. You do.

[01:21:42:18 - 01:21:51:22] That's how I feel when I'm on stage. I'm talking to my family, so you know how comfortable you be around your family. Exactly, yeah, like a shot or two, I think it just loosens you up, takes the nerves. Yeah, I don't do Coke yet. No.

[01:21:53:11 - 01:22:15:08] A shot or two, yes. I feel like the Coke might be like too much. Yeah, I can't even do Edible, so I don't think I can do Coke. Yeah, we heard it, you're a little Edible, sorry. I can't even do Edible, so Coke got a question for me. I'm just getting the shots. Oh my God. If you were to tell us if you had a red flag, your personal red flag, what would it be?

[01:22:16:19 - 01:22:18:19] Personal red flag. I think my heart's too big.

[01:22:19:23 - 01:22:33:22] I think I'm too forgiving and too generous. Same. Yeah, so. What's your Zodiac sign? I'm Aquarius. An Aquarius. You're an Aquarius, right, Baim? Yeah. Yeah, you guys do have big hearts. We're besties now. Yeah, get your lockdown twin.

[01:22:35:08 - 01:22:35:09] (Laughing)

[01:22:36:09 - 01:22:49:15] Yeah, no, I think that definitely is a red flag because you get screwed over quite a little bit when you're too nice, right, into forgiving. But you gotta put your foot down. I've gotten better with it. Yeah. Still working on it. Your green flag other than being funny.

[01:22:51:15 - 01:23:15:13] I think I'm just fun to be around. I think I'm a fun person to be around. The energy's always there. We have a good time when I'm around. Do you feel that you always have to be funny or let's say when you're with your friends and you're not feeling too well? I don't even feel, I feel like this shit natural. I don't even try to be funny. It just happens. But what if you're like, does it ever happen to you where you're feeling down and you're just like not in the mood and people are like, "What the

[01:23:15:13 - 01:23:29:22] What's wrong with you?" I make light of every situation. So I feel, if I'm feeling down, I'm probably gonna say something stupid. To cheer yourself up. Not even knowing, just like, just like, "Yeah, man, I'm tired of being fat, but it is what it is, but it's cool."

[01:23:31:11 - 01:23:34:09] I'm tired of being fat, but it is. Yeah, I know what it is, man, shit.

[01:23:35:11 - 01:23:42:21] Oh my God, okay, let me see. I have a little game for us after, but I just wanna make sure you

[01:23:42:21 - 01:23:56:10] good, good, good. Have you heard of that guy, the goofy guy, babe, that I keep watching on YouTube? His name is Morgan-- Morgan something. Morgan Jay. Have you heard about him? Morgan Jay sounds familiar. He always sings. He like auto-tunes in front of the crowd and like,

[01:23:56:10 - 01:24:33:15] (Upbeat Music) If you're watching this right now, I bet you care about how you look, feel, and smell, especially smell.

Oh yeah, and then he-- You never see that? Oh, it's too funny. Put it in my notes right now. I want it in your notes. We're getting him on the show, babe. Yeah, that's what I mean. Put a word out there, babe. Manifestation. Put a word out there. Morgan Jay, we are a goofy crew. Morgan Jay, bring your ass on the podcast, man. I'm a goofy girl, I can't move too much. I just have my surgery. Oh, Lord.

[01:25:02:21 - 01:25:05:13] We're gonna get regrossed, too. Yeah, fat boy, bring your ass on the show, man.

[01:25:06:18 - 01:25:09:13] Who else, who else? Everybody, get the fuck on the show. Everybody.

[01:25:10:20 - 01:25:17:00] We gotta retire the old link and have a new link. Yes, man. Right? Yes, yes, man. Subscribe.

[01:25:18:06 - 01:25:33:07] Okay, we're gonna do rapid fire questions. So not too much thinking. I bet. And you just give me your answers. If you get too into it, I'm gonna tell you to shut up. All right. Okay, I'm joking. Okay, let's go. Heckler or Silent Cloud? Anal. You say what? Ah, what the fuck?

[01:25:34:10 - 01:25:52:12] Heckler or Silent Crowd? Silent Crowd. Really? No, Heckler, fuck that. Do you ever get into it with the Hecklers? Nah, I kinda control the room when I'm on fire, so. Did you ever have to kick anybody out? Nah. No? Okay, well, maybe you're gonna have to kick me out. Not yet, not yet. Looking forward to it. It'll be me. Security.

[01:25:53:14 - 01:25:53:21] Get this

[01:25:53:21 - 01:25:56:02] outta here. Yeah, I think we're gonna see that. Security, the

[01:25:56:02 - 01:25:56:18] outta here.

[01:25:58:08 - 01:26:01:01] Bombing or going viral for the wrong reason?

[01:26:02:07 - 01:26:04:09] Mm? Going viral for the wrong reason,

[01:26:04:09 - 01:26:20:11] it. Because Druski just did a skit. Who's Druski again? Druski is a comedian. He's an internet-- Isn't he like a streamer? No, he's strange, but he's like a content creator. So he just did a church video. And it was funny to me, but you know,

[01:26:21:23 - 01:27:01:19] a lot of people didn't like it because he was in a church and he was acting like he was a mega-pasta, a mega-church pastor. So he had like a designer and he was curving the crowd. And it was funny because it's relatable. A lot of people view church like that. Especially when you see your pastor and all that designer and then you got people shrugging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's like he's going viral for the right reasons and wrong reasons. Yeah. Kinda, like that makes sense. I feel like maybe religion is like, ugh. But, sorry, go ahead. Yeah, it's touchy. It's touchy. But it's comedy. But it's comedy. It shouldn't be touchy. So I saw a joke, actually. I need to find it because I think it was funny. It was religious.

[01:27:03:03 - 01:27:24:06] I sent it to a friend of mine and I think you're gonna like it. Hold on, hold on. Watch out, cause last time you-- What did I do last time? Gave him a joke. He's like, don't quit your day job. No. Oh, that's fine. It's okay, don't try again, try again. Okay, no. Who needs to what out of his question though? This is, he goes, I think Jesus is black because he is our father and still hasn't come yet.

[01:27:27:02 - 01:27:30:01] Right. Let's wait for the, he's processing.

[01:27:31:17 - 01:28:25:09] I mean, it's funny. That's a good one. That's a good one, right? That's a good one. That is-- I like that, yes, yes. You should do comedy. That's a, I did, I don't know if I told you, but I did a set for my husband's birthday. Yeah, you said it. Yeah, I did. You said you're a mom, right? Oh, you did good. I mean, I did like, I think I did like a six on 10. For first set, it's good. Okay. But she needs work, absolutely. Nobody recorded it. I know, it is recorded. I did record it. I'll try to pull it out. No, no, you're not sending anything without my permission. Of course. (Laughing) I'll make you sign the agreement. I don't know what this is. Can I get some water? I'm sorry. You got it right here. Oh shit. Yeah, put it right there for you, baby. I don't even have a sip of water yet. It's vegan water just for you. Oh my God, this is delicious. No prop, no pork, no nothing. Nothing, vegan water. All right, late night shows or packed comedy clubs? Packed comedy clubs. Why? Because I just love that. Okay. It's gonna be a good time, yeah. (Laughing) It's gonna be a good time for everybody. Being funny online or on stage? Both. Both?

[01:28:26:16 - 01:28:57:21] If there was one thing I already asked you that one, you would never joke about. Is there a joke that you're tired of, but people still love? No. No? Nope. All your jokes are too good that they can just keep saying them over. I promise, I love it. (Laughing) I'd be adding stuff to my jokes too. So you might've heard it the first time, but the second time you hear it, it's something at it. So I ain't hear that the first time. So yeah, I love the joke. Sometimes you gotta hear it a second time, right? Yep, it's a process for sure. If you weren't funny, what would you be doing? I don't even know, honestly.

[01:28:59:03 - 01:29:05:18] I don't know. No other talents? I never thought about that. Think about it now. Fried chicken? Let's see. Fried chicken is crazy. Fried chicken? I would fry the

[01:29:05:18 - 01:29:06:10] out some chicken.

[01:29:07:18 - 01:29:48:11] (Laughing) I don't know, I feel like I was made for this. I already can't picture myself doing anything else. I love it. That's a good question. I never thought about that shit. So if you think about it, you know when you're sleeping at night, or you know, laying there with your thoughts, and you get an answer, just DM it to me. Hey, damn, I remember, not that I thought about this. Hey, this is what I would do if I wasn't doing comedy. There you go. At 3 a.m. in the morning. Exactly, it doesn't matter. (Laughing) Okay, so I asked Zach this question, and I'm gonna ask you, if you could have one person on drinking around the world, who would it be? He couldn't give me one, he gave me three, so I'll give you the same courtesy. Who would it be? Yeah. Let's do Kevin Hart.

[01:29:50:00 - 01:29:51:06] Did he say that? Let's do,

[01:29:54:02 - 01:29:57:13] let's do Kevin Hart, for sure. Let's do, Steve would do it,

[01:29:58:17 - 01:29:59:19] and let's do...

[01:30:01:12 - 01:30:08:02] Dave Chappelle? Dave Chappelle. Sure. But now they all have to be white, choose three people. Yeah, that's a little bit racist, you gotta pick a white person.

[01:30:09:13 - 01:30:13:00] (Laughing) It's a joke, it's a joke, no, no, no. Donald, nah. Donald Trump.

[01:30:14:16 - 01:30:17:09] (Laughing) Can you do a good impression of Donald Trump? Nah. No?

[01:30:18:12 - 01:30:19:10] No. Yeah.

[01:30:20:13 - 01:30:26:17] Nah. China. Try it, try it. I'll try, fuck it. You know, ISIS is one of... (Laughing)

[01:30:28:09 - 01:30:29:21] China. China. China.

[01:30:30:21 - 01:30:32:07] Tariffs, that's going up.

[01:30:34:08 - 01:30:40:15] Is the hand just a... Mexicans. The Mexicans are illegal, and we wanna get rid of them.

[01:30:41:17 - 01:31:27:22] We're trying to do that, and Sleepy Joe doesn't wanna do it. That was good. So I'm gonna do it. That was good. Sleepy Joe doesn't wanna do it. Sleepy Joe doesn't wanna do it. So I'm gonna do it, and he's gonna get done. No, that was good. Okay, yeah. That was good. I should work on that shit. That was good. I should work on impressions. Do you ever, do you do any impressions? No. You should do that. I should work on impressions. I think that's like a skill that I have. I'm pretty good with accents. What, accents? Accents? Okay. I could do accents. I'm gonna do one. But I haven't, I haven't, I haven't practiced in a long time, but like I could do the-- I could do the Asian one. Like, do you like one? I'm gonna say accent, you gotta do it. We do Asian first. Okay, so, okay. That's how to fight. Get in the mood, get in the mood. Honey, do you like to do your nail today? Oh shit, she's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have boyfriends? Okay, okay. No, because your nail's so short. No.

[01:31:29:04 - 01:31:34:06] (Laughing) Oh my God, I thought she was Korean. This is fucking amazing. Okay, let's do Jamaican. Oh no.

[01:31:35:08 - 01:32:00:23] Let's do one. One baklart. No. What does that mean? Is it like? It's like fuck. No, I mean, I'm good with like, it's been a while. Let's do Russian. No, no, no, I'm not that good. I could do Asian, I could do the Indian accent. Let's do it, let's do Indian. What should I say in Indian? Like, something. It's already funny. I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get, all my followers are gonna get turned off by me. They're gonna be like, "All I can see now is you doing accents."

[01:32:02:15 - 01:32:05:03] What could I say? Indian is funny. What did I do pretty?

[01:32:06:23 - 01:32:15:09] What do you mean you're not going to subscribe to my channel? Oh, that's good. Oh, that was good. Do it again, do it again. I'm gonna use that. It's only $4.99 and you get to see me

[01:32:15:09 - 01:32:25:01] No. (Laughing) Oh, that's good. That's fucking good, I like that. Not bad, not bad. Not bad at all. Could you do the French Canadian accent? No. You speak English?

[01:32:26:09 - 01:32:42:01] I'm good at that one. But what are you talking about? No, that's not French Canadian, that's English. Oh, French Canadian? Oh, French Canadian, oh, French Canadian. That's just Canadian. French Canadian is-- I want to go to the store. I'm going to go to the store to pick up some apple to make an apple pie. No.

[01:32:43:05 - 01:33:00:08] (Laughing) They talk just like that. They do, they do. That's crazy shit, man. I got my in-laws upstairs. Oh no, are they French Canadian? Yeah. Oh, wee. They're probably like, "Yeah, what the fuck?" (Laughing) Okay, and to end our little, God damn it, cut that shit out. Yeah, it's

[01:33:00:08 - 01:33:00:22] little

[01:33:00:22 - 01:33:52:03] man. Say big instead, our big podcast episode. Big, no. So if somebody is starting into the comedy world in the comedy space, what would be something that you would say to them? Be yourself, find your lane and stay at it. It's so funny, because I feel like everybody always says that, and it is like, it's true. It's like the foundation. It's something that you have to do. You have to find yourself, you have to stay in your lane, find your lane, and you have to be consistent. You gotta just keep, you gotta grind it out. It's not gonna happen overnight. It's true, I think I'm gonna stop asking people that, because I always get the same answer, but you know what, repetition is gonna stick in their head. Muscle memory. Muscle memory. If you wanna do something, be yourself, be authentic, stick to it. Stick to it, man. You can smell fake a mile away. You can, oh yeah. I mean, it smells a little fake here.

[01:33:53:10 - 01:33:56:15] You got some water here on your titty. Oh fuck,
