March of this year 255 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800 At the Stand Up Live open mic 256 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,800 Sounds about right 257 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:42,800 You got up there and you

was how you opened it 260 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,800 And then right after that you just held a finger gun up and the audience was like pew pew pew 261 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:01,800 I was like what the hell is going on but everybody was laughing I'm like this dude doesn't sound like anybody else that went up 262 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,800 And it was like 40 comics that went up that night and I remembered you and then when I started doing them myself you know 263 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:14,800 You were very welcoming you know obviously you're very funny but there's a part of you that was very accepting 264 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800 Very welcoming you know giving me advice and shit and I always appreciated that 265 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,800 Thank you JJ I can speak on both of that 266 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:26,800 What I did at Stand Up Live I did that because it's not that I don't respect Stand Up Live 267 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:33,800 But it's just like as a comedian everybody is looking up at the Stand Up Live mic like this is my moment 268 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:40,800 And so it's like if everybody's going up like that like I don't give a fuck like I don't care I'm gonna do what I feel is funny 269 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:47,800 And it's gonna be something that like you're not gonna you don't expect to see like that's easy to do like it for me that's easy to do 270 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,800 And then another thing on top of that like this is a clown college right 271 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,800 Yeah 272 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,800 You're our professor 273 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:02,800 I went to clown college actually in real life and you know a big part of comedy from what I learned there was like ensemble 274 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:09,800 So when I look at it like in terms of like the Huntsville scene it's like we're only as strong as our weakest link 275 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:16,800 So like I don't mind being accepted like we're just us being funny like me being funny helps other people be funny 276 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:23,800 And I like I want us to be where like the next Austin or wherever like Huntsville you have the talent 277 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:29,800 That's where I'm coming from I'm just like let's be funny y'all that's all it means to me 278 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,800 We were talking about that in the opening segment do you have the talent here I mean there's some funny I don't care where you're from 279 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,800 What you like there's some funny people here some extremely funny people here 280 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,800 And you said you you actually went to clown college where did you go to college for and what did you go for 281 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:53,800 Oh yeah I went to college in Chicago it was in Chicago it was a Columbia College Chicago that's what it's called 282 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800 I guess you know just something light yeah something light bruh not a big deal 283 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,800 That's been crazy 284 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,800 You should have guessed from the fucking money spread you opened up with you know 285 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,800 Yeah nah it's some light bro 286 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,800 We got an Ivy League man at the table 287 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,800 I don't think well no it's two different Colombias it's not the same that's y'all are talking about the good Colombians 288 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Me and Dom don't fucking know you could have fooled us 289 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Everybody in the room thought you were talking about 290 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,800 We don't know 291 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,800 I went to here in Washington out there too but that's the city college 292 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800 You're doing another flex 293 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800 That's not a flex out here in Washington 294 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,800 We don't know 295 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,800 I went to a whole bunch of colleges out there but I went to Columbia College like that was the main idea 296 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,800 And my major out there was comedy writing and performance 297 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,800 That's a major they offer that's dope as hell UAH could never 298 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,800 I mean they had like I remember one of the teachers that we had that was teaching us comedy theory 299 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,800 It was like she used to date Stephen Colbert or something like that 300 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,800 And that was her main credit 301 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,800 That was what people were saying 302 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,800 And LeBara if anybody wants to lick her up like she's real cool 303 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,800 She taught me like a whole bunch of stuff 304 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,800 Oh yeah 305 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800 So you think you learned a lot from going there? 306 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800 Oh yeah I can say this 307 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,800 I definitely learned like set up punch line the structure of jokes 308 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,800 Like the concepts that people find what makes people laugh 309 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,800 Like I found that stuff out 310 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,800 And that's cool if you're interested in that kind of thing 311 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,800 But if you want to do comedy if you want to become a comedian you don't have to go to college for it 312 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800 College is completely unnecessary 313 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800 It's just that experience 314 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800 I mean that's how I look at college in general 315 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,800 Like college is just an experience and it's just so happened that I put comedy over mine 316 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,800 It could have been accounting or whatever 317 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,800 I feel like I still would have got the same experiences had I you know 318 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,800 I guess it's just mindset for me 319 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,800 It just boils down to mindset whatever you're doing 320 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,800 But yeah you don't need comedy college to do comedy 321 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,800 But with that being said your experience your time in Chicago 322 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Do you view that as something that benefited your comedy career? 323 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,800 Oh for sure yeah definitely 324 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Like I wouldn't change it for the world 325 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,800 Like sometimes I wish I could go back 326 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,800 But no like there's obviously like redeeming things here 327 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,800 Like one thing I can say about Huntsville 328 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,800 It's one of the like most supportive scenes 329 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800 Like you were saying earlier like we definitely have talent here 330 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,800 It's like underrated Huntsville is underrated for sure 331 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,800 I feel like people just don't know about the comedy scene 332 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,800 That's one of the goals of this podcast 333 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,800 Even

early 2019 498 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800 Got you 499 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Now is that just like a artistry thing? 500 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,800 Like you want to be a well rounded artist or is it just your personal interest and it just so happens to be art? 501 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,800 Oh yeah personal interest for sure 502 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:31,800 I had like a catalyst coming back from Chicago when I had so I didn't graduate from the comedy college 503 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,800 But when I left and came back I like this girl who made music it was a liberal arts college 504 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,800 She was in like the music side of things but like she kept we kept in touch 505 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,800 And then like she kind of inspired me to start making music 506 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,800 But the reason why she inspired me why I hadn't done it before that was because like my family 507 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,800 Like my dad's side of the family my sister and my dad and my grandma on his side 508 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,800 They like all of them sing all of them sing grew up in the church my dad like plays guitar and bass my 509 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,800 Granddad he has a gospel group called Greg Brown and the Trumpeters 510 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,800 It's just like yeah they sing a gospel quartet so it's like my family has big musical background 511 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,800 I always felt like the black sheep so it was like this thing that I kind of suppressed 512 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:23,800 Then that girl brought it out of me and then that's when I was just like okay let me just get all this stuff that I have in 513 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Because I look at it is like just an expressive way just a way to express myself and I fuck with that in any capacity 514 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,800 Being able to express myself articulate what I have in my mind music is just another way to do that 515 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,800 Exactly yeah oh yeah dude 516 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,800 And I'm telling you you're good and whenever I was thinking about people who you

00:35:17,800 My mom was actually an extra in that movie 532 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,800 That's crazy 533 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,800 When they're in the football game 534 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,800 When they're in the football stadium you can see my mom in the back 535 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,800 She got her phone case signed by Ben Stiller that day 536 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,800 Damn 537 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,800 She wiped off now she didn't have a case anymore but she showed me yeah 538 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,800 That was a pretty funny movie too 539 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,800 It was a funny movie 540 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,800 You know they had to change it because of the Trayvon Martin 541 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,800 Yeah 542 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,800 It was called the Neighborhood Watch 543 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,800 Damn 544 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,800 And then Zimmerman's 545 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,800 Yeah right around that time 546 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,800 So your whole family background is just all in the arts 547 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,800 Acting and music 548 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,800 Pretty much 549 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,800 All that kind of stuff 550 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,800 I know you said at first you didn't want to pursue music 551 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,800 Because maybe you felt like it was big shoes to fill 552 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,800 Based on your family history 553 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,800 Something like that 554 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,800 So where does the comedy come from 555 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,800 What does comedy mean to you in relation to all these other things 556 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,800 Is that your separate thing that you do 557 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,800 You see that as your independent, your independent artistry 558 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,800 Or is that, where did that come from? 559 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,800 Yeah I couldn't tell you where it came from JJ 560 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,800 But it's definitely been here the whole time 561 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,800 Hell yeah 562 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,800 It's been a passion of mine 563 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,800 I can say the day I realized I wanted to do something with comedy 564 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,800 Or like the day comedy as a thing clicked for me 565 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,800 Was in second grade 566 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,800 It was my birthday and we were learning about symmetry 567 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,800 The teacher had passed out these outlines of shapes 568 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,800 I had got an outline of a heart 569 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800 Just the outline of a heart 570 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,800 I was supposed to be folding it to see where it was symmetrical 571 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,800 So I folded it, was it hot dog? Hot dog style? 572 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,800 Yeah long ways 573 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,800 I held it up to my face and it looked like a mustache and a beard 574 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,800 Exactly right 575 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,800 Hilarious 576 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,800 It's a good bit when you're in second grade 577 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,800 I showed it to the class and everybody died 578 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,800 Everybody died and I was like yeah 579 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,800 This is what I'm supposed to be doing 580 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,800 I got

00:37:29,800 Hell yeah 587 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:37,800 I was living with my granddad and grandma and mom when I was real young 588 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,800 He would have the Chappelle show on 589 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:47,800 My granddad was a warden when I was living in California with him 590 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800 This is the time I'm talking about 591 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,800 Prison warden 592 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,800 He was a prison warden and he would do comedy nights up there 593 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,800 He would tell jokes to the prisoners 594 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,800 His thing is like you gotta make them laugh 595 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,800 That's what he would be telling to me 596 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,800 He would say you would just tell them stories about me and my sister 597 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:12,800 I'm sure my granddad has a whole bunch of influence on me about why I've stuck with it this long 598 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,800 It's just been a passion 599 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,800 It's been a real big passion of mine 600 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:23,800 It's like every time I've tested it 601 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,800 I've gotten good results 602 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,800 Every time I've tested my funniness I've come out funny 603 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,800 It's like I gotta keep on doing this 604 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,800 Then it turned out I can't do math 605 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,800 I'm really good at this thing 606 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,800 Narrowing it down 607 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:40,800 Process of elimination 608 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,800 It stuck around this long 609 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,800 Damn 610 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,800 Alright 611

00:39:07,800 Octopus or cuttlefish? 622 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,800 I'm going cuttlefish because have you ever seen a cuttlefish? 623 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,800 What's one of the cuttlefish? 624 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,800 Jamie pull that up 625 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:21,800 A cuttlefish is like a fat squid 626 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,800 Oh yeah I know what you're talking about 627 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,800 It can change colors a little bit more 628 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,800 It's like a mix between a squid and an octopus almost 629 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,800 But not exactly, I'm not a scientist 630 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,800 He's a marine biologist 631 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,800 I'm a comedian 632 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,800 I'm going cuttlefish because I like the colors 633 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,800 If I could do that as a human that's what I would be doing 634 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,800 Be pretty sick 635 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,800 Mesmerizing people 636 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,800 That's what you do on stage 637 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,800 You're a very cuttlefish ass going on stage 638 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,800 That's what I'm trying to go for 639 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,800 People are like what the fuck is that? 640 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,800 And then it surprises you and you're like oh that's cool 641 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,800 I'll fuck with it, I'll fuck with the cuttlefish 642 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,800 Like a squid or something 643 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,800 It's like something I've seen before but I haven't 644 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,800 For sure 645 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,800 Appreciate that 646 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,800 So when was the moment? 647 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,800 I know you said second grade 648 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,800 When you realized this funny shit 649 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,800 Maybe this is something 650 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,800 And then as you get older you're like 651 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,800 Okay yeah I do want to lead into this 652 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,800 When did you start calling yourself a comedian? 653 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,800 Or really thinking of yourself as a comedian? 654 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,800 Yeah not until I started doing it 655 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,800 And even when I started doing it 656 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,800 I still didn't really feel like a comedian 657 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,800 Now I can say I do feel like one 658 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,800 That's a good ass question 659 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,800 Because I have struggled with it 660 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,800 The thing that I tried to figure out first was 661 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800 Am I funny or not? 662 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,800 And that took me a little while 663 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,800 I would ask myself the question 664 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,800 I would be like yeah I'm funny 665 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,800 But then something would challenge me 666 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,800 And then I would have to go back to the drawing board 667 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,800 But once I got that down 668 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,800 I didn't start feeling like I was a comedian until I came here 669 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,800 So that's got to be like 2021 670 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,800 Okay so you did stand up in different locations 671 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,800 Tell us which ones and what you like and dislike about them 672 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,800 I started out in Chicago 673 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,800 And I did my first ever stand up set at Second City 674 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,800 It was a class going on up there 675 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,800 And I went there and I told a whole bunch of jokes 676 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,800 About being in Chicago for the first time 677 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,800 And it got that itch out of the way that first 678 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,800 Like oh I did it 679 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,800 And I didn't bomb or anything 680 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,800 But before that I had been doing improv 681 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,800 Which is a whole different thing 682 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,800 But has definitely influenced my stand up comedy 683 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,800 But improv is crazy 684 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,800 But first stand up set at Second City 685 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,800 After I get kicked out of Columbia 686 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,800 I get evicted out of Columbia 687 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,800 I go to Atlanta 688 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,800 And then I start doing this 689 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,800 I don't want to do them like that 690 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,800 His name is Jacob Marmon 691 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,800 He's come to the scene a few times 692 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,800 Should we say it like it was the bleep it? 693 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,800 Yeah no no 694 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,800 I thought about some of his personal 695 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,800 His personal interests 696 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,800 I didn't want to put him on blast like that 697 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800 But Jacob Marmon, very funny guy 698 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,800 He got me into comedy out in Atlanta 699 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,800 He was like yeah you got to start doing this 700 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,800 You got to start coming out here 701 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,800 Because after I got kicked out of Columbia 702 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,800 I was chasing my dream 703 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,800 I became a man out in Chicago 704 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,800 I was stepping out on faith 705 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,800 Taking a leap of faith 706 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,800 And doing my comedy stuff 707 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,800 But then as soon as they were like 708 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800 You don't have enough money to be here 709 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,800 I was like damn 710 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,800 I was looking at the moon late at night 711 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,800 Waiting for somebody to rob me 712 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,800 In the streets of Chicago 713 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,800 I just felt so down 714 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,800 After that I went to Atlanta 715 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,800 To live back with my parents 716 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,800 That's when I met Jacob 717 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,800 He was like no man you need to get out here 718 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,800 And start doing this 719 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,800 You can't stop doing comedy 720 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,800 So I started doing comedy out there 721 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,800 Then I moved here 722 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,800

Smothered and chopped 937 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,800 What's the drink though? 938 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,800 I'll usually go lemonade 939 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,800 I might go water 940 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,800 I don't drink coffee or anything like that 941 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,800 I go lemonade or water that's what I feel 942 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,800 See I fuck myself

too heavy 946 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,800 And I'm usually drunk if I'm a waffle house 947 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,800 So I start down spiraling 948 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,800 Like so many carbs 949 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,800 And I hate myself and everything sucks 950 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,800 But it was only $7 so 951 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,800 At least there's that 952 00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,800 I'll get the all-star special 953 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,800 Or I'll get that sandwich 954 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,800 That they got 955 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,800 Not the burger 956 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,800 I'm forgetting it 957 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,800 Is it like a melt? 958 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,800 The bacon egg and cheese or the sausage egg and cheese? 959 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,800 Hell yeah dude 960 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,800 Dom what's your waffle house order? 961 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,800 I do the same but instead of 962 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,800 I get grits with cheese instead of hash browns 963 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,800 And then bacon instead of sausage 964 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,800 I'd probably take the bacon 965 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,800 I'm a sausage links guy 966 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,800 Sausage links guy 967 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,800 I'm a links guy 968 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,800 Sausage and jelly biscuit though 969 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,800 Sausage patty, throw some grape 970 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,800 Jelly on there, eat that by itself 971 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,800 I live off that for a week 972 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,800 That's what I wanted to ask you 973 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,800 Do you get heckled a lot? 974 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,800 Do I get heckled a lot? 975 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,800 And when you have how did you deal with it? 976 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,800 Nice, mean 977 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,800 So that's the thing, in most cases 978 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,800 I can handle a heckler 979 00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,800 It's like 980 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,800 With me, I'm looking for 981 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,800 Moments that I haven't 982 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,800 Planned for 983 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,800 That's part of the improv stuff 984 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,800 I look at everything as a gift 985 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,800 Any moment that is up there as a chance 986 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,800 For me to flip it and turn it into a funny thing 987 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,800 So I can deal with most 988 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,800 Hecklers 989 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,800 In terms of me getting heckled 990 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,800 When I was in Atlanta 991 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,800 It happened 992 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,800 The most 993 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,800 But also that was when I 994 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,800 Earlier, I didn't have a 995 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,800 Control over the audience 996 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,800 How I do now, not to say that I do 997 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,800 It definitely isn't where it's at now 998 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,800 Yeah, like getting heckled 999 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,800 I can handle it, but I don't get heckled 1000 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,800 So much anymore, but when I first started out 1001 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,800 I definitely got heckled a little bit 1002 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,800 And it was mostly black rooms too, and I hate to say it like that 1003 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,800 But that's just the facts 1004 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,800 But it's also 1005 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,800 I was different, I was coming in there with very high 1006 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,800 Concept stuff, like I was coming into 1007 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,800 The nightclub with juggling balls 1008 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,800 So I was like, I'm not mad at them for heckling 1009 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,800 Like I get it, but it's like 1010 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,800 I am like 1011 00:53:05,800 -->
