  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love the two centers.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I appreciate.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: I told you all the last time I was on here,
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: wire to Wire sixteen knomsm.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Now we'll see.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It is christ Do you have fate that they're gonna win?
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll win. You know I was surprised.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: I thought, you know, I think when the last time
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: I was on No we did Iron iron Heart, But
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: first time I felt like Delroy was going to be
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: the only acting awards. So I was pleasantly surprised that won.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Me and Michael B. Jordan got some love. But my
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: main concern is, I know the technical they'll probably win
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: a lot of technical I feel like Uhler is gonna
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: split either Best Director or Best Film with with uh
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: pt Anderson. I want, I just want, like right, my
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: main thing is one and Ryan Cooper to get like
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: some hardware like writing or something like that, So writing
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: or Best Director, but either way he'll be back.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I don't even think it's close, you know, when it
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: comes to best directors, and that's what and I don't.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: I don't not Pt for his directorial capabilities. I think
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: he's a great director, but I do not think that
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: one battle after another is even in the same category
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: when it comes to centers to when even when you're
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: just talking about technical directing. Like I was telling somebody
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: this the other day from Sinners opening shot of showing
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Michael B. Jordan handing a cigarette to Michael B. Jordan's
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: it's something that you just don't see in those type
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: of films. Whenever you see Twins and stuff that is
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: right away it's like we are stunting on you hoes there,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: and it's a moving shot. There's so much going into it,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a moving dolly shot that's dolling in
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: on them as they're doing it. There's so much happening
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: that it technically has to be done, and like I
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: was really happy to see. I don't know, Chris, if
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: you've seen this. There's a video of Matt Damon talking
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: to Michael B. Jordan about it, and Matt Damon is
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: basically just gushing over Michael B.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Jordan.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so beautiful to see because he's talking about those
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: technical things that I'm talking about. The coogler and crew
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: and everyone involved had to do to the utter level
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: of perfession, and that's what it's Great's in the same category.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: No, I like, I know y'all didn't like one bout,
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: but I liked.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I liked both films, but I feel like, obviously there's
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: more of a connection to Cinners, because you know, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: more that I thought about it, at least on the
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: second viewing, I thought like, this is how I felt
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: when I was about twenty years old and I discovered
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: August Wilson, where I discovered like, oh as a as
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: a young black actor, Like oh, this guy's like my uncle,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: this guy's like my dad. This you know, this writing,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: and I think he painted such a great picture that
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: it's like, oh, and there's vampires in it. Okay, okay,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: you know, like it's, oh, there's this element. So he
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: I think one of my friend I think Rod might
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: have said this. I don't want to I don't want
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: to misquote him, but I felt like he was saying that,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: you know, Coopler is like the next Spielberg.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Whatever you take that to, however you want.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: He's able to make these crowd pleasing films, popcorn films,
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: and have like a depth to him, have a heart
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: to him, have it resonate so much that people are
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: watching this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Thing, you know, over and over again.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: I have the Steel Book Blu Ray, and I remember
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: I watched it for the third time at home, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: my mind is just been really, no, I got the
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: you got the metal.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He's trying to stunt on me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: He's I'm not trying to stump.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: I'm not trying to stunt but I mean you got
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: to show him, so yeah, hey, I did not say that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: I did not say that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah no, I pre ordered and got it pretty for
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: a reasonable price, but I.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Think you know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: And then they showed you know, when the shifts are
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: being made through the aspect ratio with the IMAX, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I was like, God, this really is brilliant.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: It was really.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Brilliant and I didn't imagine that. I remember the first
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: time that that screening. I had said that to Man.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, did they change the actual ratio? And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: he was like, I don't know, Man, maybe tripping, But no, no.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I knew because I knew what
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: they were doing because I remember.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: What they did.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Remember Racio during the I was like they did.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: I was like that, Like I was.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: What I was trying to figure out is after my
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: first watch, I was trying to figure out.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: When he was doing it, Like I don't know if
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: there's row there's.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Reason to it, but it's not like it's not plotted,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: you know, it's not it's not like, Okay, we're gonna
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: do it, you know when there's action, or we're going
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to do this when you know it's not like that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: It changes, but like one of.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: The dopest ones is when it opens up, when the
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: fucking doors to the barn opens up, and then the
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: screen opens up.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: And it's like this, nigga.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That's why I saw it four times, and because I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: saw it all the you know, when they brought it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: back into theaters, went right back to Lincoln Square just
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like you did.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So I did seventy million imax each time.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Did you get the film strip?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: No?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I did not get the films.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I missed it, but like a week, I think, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: I'd already pre bought my tickets and then they're like, oh,
• 7:47

• 7:49

  Speaker 1: I didn't think I was a joke because you got
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the metal? Oh did you get the other stuff? Just

  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, obviously we super love Sinners and we'll
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: love it to the day we die. But we're here
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to talk about something else that's amazing in black history,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and that is Chris your upcoming comedy special album, Killing
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: an Obscurity Volume two set up and Punchlines. Probably read
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: that backwards, but this is how I'm reading it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, it's Killing an Obscurity set up some Punchlines
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Volume two. The first the first project was failed Running
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Back that came out in to about six years ago,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: almost in twenty twenty. I thought we were all gonna die,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: and uh so I wanted to have something put out
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: with a barcode on it. So that was a collection
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: of material that I had done, like you know, throughout
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: the throughout my time doing stand up, and I and
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of people did like that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: It went number one on iTunes.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: But this one is a fully realized, like special, like
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: a a through line beginning, middle, and end that I
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: recorded on June twenty seventh of last year in New
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: York City at Caveat and you know, friend of the podcast,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Briandon Collins produced it. I was directed by Jeffson Ruley,
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: who's another comedian who's a friend of mine, and I
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: kind of just reached across the table instead of like
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: always looking up the Issa ray adage where you look
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: at your friends that are doing, you know, some of
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: the same things that you're doing, and to connect with
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: them and build. And I think we got a really
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: good project out there that people are gonna like, yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And before we get to the content of the project,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about the cover. Much
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: like your cover in the twenty twenty special, you have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a childhood photo of you, and then your twenty twenty
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: one you had you I guess you're playing pee wee
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: football or something like that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, at your little what.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Was that seventy two, you know, seventy two Jersey on Yeah,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and this time in twenty twenty six, is you doing
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the the you know, the into the dragon fish on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: your taekwon do with the black belt, and I'm just
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: curious what what went into the selection of this cover.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard, let me tell you, that's hard.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That shit goes.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: What why did you decide to feature? Obviously we know
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it's because you, but why that specific picture.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I figured that picture maybe people would get a Wakanda
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Forever vibe with that too, because that before that, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: and I was just thinking about what could I have
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: as a cover to just kind of compliment volume one
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: of of my you know, progression. And I remember, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: don't know how old you you guys are, but like
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: when I was a kid, we used to have a
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: photo studio called Olin Mills. I know, sometimes you do
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: family photos at like series and stuff like that. So
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: this was like yeah, yeah, so my parents we took
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the family photos and then my dad, my late grade dad,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: wanted to take pictures of me and my karate uniform
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: because he and my mom had invested so much money
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: into that. And I don't think I really wanted to
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: do those pictures, but he kind of forced me to
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: do it. Okay, So some of that I might have
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: been in those pictures because I think maybe my dad
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: do what you did, do your thing, and you know.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Right right right, Yeah, it looked like you was locked in.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: So I thought you was just real serious about that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: taekwondo life.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was good. I was good at it,
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: but I just wanted to move on to sports. So
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: and actually, like I wanted to play football. So that's
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: kind of like the chronologically, you know, that might have
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: been the inverse of you know whatever. Yeah, but there
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: is a story about my time taking taekwondo and me
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: wanting to quit and my father bribing me with Jordan
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: sneakers if I got my black belt. So that's it's connected.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: So if you listen to the special you watched, watch
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: the special that comes out on February twentieth on YouTube,
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: and you can everybody can go to Chris Lambert dot
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: com and you know, subscribe to my channel and get
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: notified when the special drops at midnight. They can see
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: that and they can see me talking about it, and yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I'm excited. But yeah, that's definitely the reason for the cover.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: And it's also a nod to hip hop, like you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: to nas Nas is nomadic. I mean, I don't know
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: if he was the very first person, but at least
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: one of the significant first definitely you say the first.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because after that member Ray Kwang came out and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: said that big he was biting off.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: A NAS album.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah he's Biggie saw it and came around.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: So yeah, So I wanted to do something like that
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: because I'm a big fan of hip hop and I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: think a lot of MC's really like love comedy and
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: vice versa. We love we love hip hop. So it
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: was just kind of a nod to to you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: hip hop. That was it's my how its influenced me
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: and the way that I do what I do.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so this taping, that was the taping that
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I was at.

• 17:55
  Speaker 5: and Spike in the locky. I ain't say shit, right, Okay,

• 18:04
  Speaker 5: like regretted. You know, that could have been my end
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: into the industry, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Right
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: years later, I go to a signing at Spike Lee's store,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: you know, in Brooklyn. I've actually know about Spike through
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Combat Jack Rest in Peace, so you know, I have
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: a whole history with him at this point through combat,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: which so I know about Spike, you know what I mean.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: But I'm still there to get my ship signed. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: buy this T shirt, something I've wanted to get, so
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I wanted to be Spike again, stand in line with
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: my partner and this man Spike Lee gives her.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the fuck this look was, Spike,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: but it was a look, you know what I mean,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And it was like in the negative, in a negative
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: like what's your partner doing standing my next to me? Okay?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: And he and he's like signing other people and like me,
• 18:58

  Speaker 5: Like, yo, man, is a fucking problem, Spike, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, I need to fuck you up right here,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like, you know you can
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: sign this ship and get up at the same time.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: So yeah, so Fox.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I mean not because I don't know, maybe he had
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: a bad day. I don't know what it was.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: You never asked what, Like I've.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Never I've never got to see him again, you know
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: what I mean.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: And but hearing Chris's special, you know, I was like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I fully relate to you fam finally was my hero
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: And dude can be an asshole, you know what I
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: mean straight up?
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Like and this thing I know about Spike from other people,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: and I've heard this more than one occasion.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, look how he showed up the Nicks Chames.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: What a funk you expect?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that escalated a bad experience with I mean,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I think it was, you know, mildly bad too.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: But it was just one of the things where it's like, Okay,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: you know a way, fuck did this dude? You know, like, yeah,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I like his movies, but that's about it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, Chris, I appreciate that you
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: like the whole And I'm sure this is indicative of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of the albums and other albums, but this
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: particular album, you know, you are inserting yourself as comedians
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: do your life. You know, your experiences funny or tragic
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: or otherwise, and you know you're spinning it into goal.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You're spinning into comedy when you are what goes into
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the selection of the clips that you're gonna choose for
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: your albums, these comedy albums like are you just like
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: which one's gonna get that has the biggest pop? Are
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you just like it don't matter if no one laughed,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you liked it? So what's going in?
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Like? How do you decide?
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: It depends on if I feel like like you're when
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: you're running in your hour, you feel like does this
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: joke work?
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: How can I make a thematic point?
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: But like, one of my favorite comedy specials is Chris
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Rock's Bringing Them Pain from nineteen ninety six, where he's
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: in as yet Constitution Hall.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: The nerds are gonna get after me.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: But he was in DC and he opened up to
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Constitution okay, and he was talking about Marion Barry in DC,
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: and like you.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Kind of talk about like you kind of talk about.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Your social things, your your your personal heartfelt stuff, relationships
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: and then sex if you want, like you just talk
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: about the like those kind of like those tempoles like relationships, dating, politics,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: if you want, socials, commentary, and then you're out, you know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: So I just felt like that Spike Lee's story was
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: going to be a great closer because I'd been closing
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: with it for so long and building it and like
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: and I remember I remember being at the Creek in
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: the Cave when it was in Long Island City still
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: and I remember the homie Brandon Collins working with me
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: during that week, and I had some friends check it
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: out and they said, why don't you say what if
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: you kind of tweak tweak this or this made me
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: think about this, why don't you say? You know, and
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: just kind of formatting it and then as things happen,
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: it would build and get stronger. So I felt like
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: that would be a great closer, just talking about my career,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: not being famous, but just being somebody that has achieved
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: things and talk about real sentimental moments and and then
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: take kind of like maybe not necessarily undercut it, but
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: but just share that story like a great way. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: just felt like that would be a good way to
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: set up the Spike Lee story and then just kind
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: of going off that format basically.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah answered your question.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Though, No, no it does.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, just when we talk about relatability, like
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: se worrying about money and getting older very relatable, you know,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: especially you know, the racketeering network that is easy past.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't really fuck with oh my god,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: oh my.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: God, and that is the blight or the plight of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: every person from New York and New Jersey ever. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you listen that level of relatability and what I really do,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: like like you've always been on apology.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Apologetically black, and you speak about it all the time.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: You like, I am black, I am black.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I like some non black shit, you know, shit that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is particularly white. You know, you mentioned like it's still
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a classic, but save the last dance, right.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a classic, you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: And I think it's like I don't know that I've
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: learned to. I'm a big black dude, so there's no
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: there's no way for me to It's like, I'm inherently black,
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: and my experience is the black experience, just like yours is,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: just like Ben's is. It's just filtered in a different
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: way because of what we experience. So the crowd's gonna
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: know I'm a big black dude.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: But it's just.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: And I'm gonna you know, I try to be a
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: little subversive with things. I try to be a little
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: i don't know, witty sometimes, but yeah, and I appreciate
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: you saying that, like unapologetically black, and it's just not
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: I'm not shoving it down by anybody's throat.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: But like I've had comics.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Say, you talk about race a lot, you kind of
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: talk about I had black black comic who was famous
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: who I opened for one time.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: I was saying that I did.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I was maybe like five or six years in and
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I knew what he was talking about, but it was like,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: this is what I'm talking about.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: But I'm not trying to.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Be yeah, like you're not doing PBS special, Like.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to be funny.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to struggle all the time.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But it's like you, as you said, like you you're
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you're a comedian. You do all the stuff, and you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: happen to be a strong, bold black man too.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, and you because you want to have
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: you want to have fun.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: It's like you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Because I remember my dad telling me, like he listened
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: to my stand up and he was saying, this is
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: how you. Because when I was a kid, I used
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: to watch Deaf Comedy Jam all the time. That was
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: like I'd watched that, Like I'd watch Saturday morning cartoons,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Like my dad would be sleep in the bedroom. I'd
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: be in my parents' bedroom. My mom would be at work.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Death Jam came on maybe twelve midnight or eleventh, I
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: forget my dad would Yeah, my dad would be sleep
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: I my mom would be coming home from work. I'd
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: be watching Deaf Jam, laughing my ass off. The next morning,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: I rewatch it again and then keep watching it. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I had comedy tapes. I'd fall asleep listening to stand
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: up like Martin Lawrence, my dad took me to see
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: you so crazy when I was like, it was that
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: like ninety two ninety three, the not rated movie.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: He took me to see that. I was in like
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: seventh or eighth grade.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: And his first album, them Talking Shit, was in his
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: truck playing it all the time, so like that.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: So that's like Martin Lawrence was like.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: A god to me when I was a kid because
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: he was from the area. He's from, you know, PG County,
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: and that's you know, I tried to get into. He
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: went to God, he went to Eleanor Roosevelt, and I
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: tried to get in. I took the test, but I
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: couldn't get it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I told you, I tried a bunch of friends who
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: went there and all that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's your since you mentioned him, who's your mount
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: rushmore of comedians?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: That's tough because I feel like one of my friends
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: told me one time, you have comics that you loved
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: and revered when you were younger, and if you start
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: doing comedy, there's another set of comics that you and
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: you admire as you become a crafts person. Like So
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: when I was a kid, it was Martin Lawrence, Richard Pryor,
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Paul Mooney and Chappelle's in there. But all those all
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: those people like like like d L. Hugh Lee and
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: just like just any of those dudes. And after I started,
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I know they're prom and Chris Rock obviously, and this
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: is these guys could be a little problematic, but now
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: it's uh, it's Bill.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: Burr, Patrese and Louis e. K.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: And the reason I say those guys is because they're
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: on stage, persona isn't as far off as they're off stage.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: So it's like you kind of you're bringing your your
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: off stage persona on stage and like if you got
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: you know, we've done the shows together before, and if
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: you see me on stage, maybe like that's Chris. You
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: know you you You're not like that's a totally different guy. Yes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: there's a performance, it's it's heightened because there's a performance,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: but at the same time, it's just like that is Chris,
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: And once I leave the stage, you the audience will
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: have a better idea of who I am not, you know.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: I know we got the pair of social relationships and
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: stuff going on with social media and podcast, but you
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: do have an idea of what I'm like, you know.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: So that's kind of absolutely what I'm shooting for when
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: I go on stage and try to have that relatability
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: and trying to connect, because connecting is you know, if
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: you get the laughs from stuff that you've dealt with
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: that's kind of hard, then you feel less alone as
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: the artist, as a comic, and then the audience members
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: feel less alone too because you're sharing, you're sharing stuff together.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: So that's that's funny that you asked that, Tiddnis. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: was on the Wave in the Red Flat podcast the
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: other day and we got to talk about comedy, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: they asked me this question, who is your Mount Rushmore?
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: And I said kind of the same thing you said, Chris,
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: where it's like I had people I grew up with,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: like Richard Pryor is my north.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Stard I was.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: I listened to him like you listen tomorrow, like I
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: knew his shit back of the forwards, and then you
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: know Eddie Martin, Chris, Dave. But what you said about
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: David was really interesting because to some really random shit
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: some years back, I got Dave's phone number.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I met him at a party, yeah, and we.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Were trying to get him on the show and he
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: just I mean I met him at his party randomly,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: and dude just gave me his farming up. He was like,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I'll say, yo, will you please from on the podcast.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: He was like, no, probably not, but here's my number.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Hit me up and we'll see.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: But he was honest.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: So one day I called Dave, you know, and Dave
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: answered and we talked and like for about I think
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: I talked to him maybe three times, you know, during
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: this period. And I talked to him for like forty
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: five minutes one day. I remember we were sat and
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: talked and he is the same dude that you see
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: on stage, Like he is just straight up the same guy.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: He's funny at fuck. Obviously he's super intelligent.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: But he is who he is.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: He's not hiding anything.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: It's the same thing that's like Richard Pryor as my God.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: And there was a special he like his three main
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: specials everyone knows is other special that I found when
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I was like fourteen. I rented it from Blockbuster. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: he opens up and he starts talking.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: He's young.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: It's one of his first things that it is taped,
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: and five minutes cent he starts talking about how once
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: you suck a dick a few times, you're going to
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: get an addition to it. Oh, and I hit stopped.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: You know, I wasn't ready because I didn't know his
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: whole history. I didn't know what I was raised in
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: a whorehouse, et cetera, all the things that he'd been through.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: So I didn't know that about him, and I hit stopped.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I was like paus literal pause, you know, and I
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: didn't finish.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: I've heard that special since, but I did not finish
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: it then because you know, I was not ready for
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: that level of truth. But that is what makes him
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: to me the god of everything, because he'll come because
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: that shit is funny as fun too. I can't lie
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: like that's such a great joke, but you know, like
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I wasn't ready for that level at that time.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and no, that's.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Why I really appreciate your shit.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: And it's very relatable to me as a black man
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: and someone who has his own issues and my father's
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: past as well, and I had you know, I don't
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: know if your dad was military, but my dad was,
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: X Air Force, and my dad was not.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Okay, well he sounded like it. He sounded like he
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: could have been, but it was that same type of
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: hard tough.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: Love, you know what I mean that. Yeah, it's weird.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: It's weird when we talk about like black fathers that
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: you know we're around when you know most of them
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: are around.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: But that's bullshit.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, black men are in their children, they're around because
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: I remember growing up with a lot of kids, like
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: I went to a black Catholic school in DC, Saint
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Francis Xavier from preschool to six, and there's.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Black dad's there at the games all that stuff.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: You boy that failed running back picture, there were black
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: dads at those games.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: So it was just one of those things where I
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: kind of felt like my dad brought broke some generational
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: curses with like his dad wasn't around, his dad was
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: in service, and my dad was around for me, like
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: he was at my games. He was at I think
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: one of the proudest moments of my of he. I
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: think the proudest he ever felt of me probably was
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: when I got my black belt. If you do a
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: deep dive on my podcast The Mundane Festival, you may
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: not have if you go back a couple of years,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: because I re aired the episode after he passed away.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: He did the show, and I remember he was he did.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: We recorded that in twenty thirteen, I believe, and he
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: brought up the time where I got my black belt
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: and he starts crying because I had to.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: My teacher didn't like me.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: He had I don't think my teacher liked my dad
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: for some reason or some shit, and he was hard
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: on me, my karate teacher, and you had to.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: It was Junery Karate.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Well you guys were you guys were in college, you
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: guys would have been it was that school was probably
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: gone back then, but it was Jeanery Karate in the
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: early late mid to late eighties early nineties when Karate
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: kid was popping and you'd have to go all the
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: kids from the area. You go to Falls Church, Virginia,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: one of the main schools, and Jeaneree, the master, the
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: dude that owned these schools, was there. It's like a
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: small Asian guy. I think he was Korean. I don't know.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: I'd have to look it up Wikipedia. But you're you're auditioning,
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: you're trying to get your black belt, and this guy
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: is judging you. And I remember that day that the
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: Karate story takes place in the Jordan Ford track. I
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: you have to go up in front of everybody and
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: say my name. I said my name. Chris Lambert, June Ree,
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: Marla height, sir, very militaristic, and my dad he cites
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: that moment and he was just like, man, when you
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: did that, I was like, holy shit, Like you're He's like,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: you know, he was impressed. So like when the spotlights
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: were on, I did what I had to do. And
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: you know, you're bribing a black kid for some Jordan Fords.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: You know you're gonna you're gonna up.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: You gotta show up, so you know, like that's and
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: I think he told me he loved me.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: He was he was good to me. Uh he was.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: He he reprimanded me when I needed to be. I
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: was a good kid, but he was. He was just
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: there and he was he was my best friend. And
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: I could talk to him about things. And I think,
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: you know, my uncle, my dad, my mom's brother passed
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: away a week ago, and it's just like we're losing
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: our elders. You know, it's just like we're like who
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: because I feel like our generation we respected our I'm
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: not trying to say these young kids don't. I just
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: think there was a connection and you could look to
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: them for for stuff, and now we're kind of becoming
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: that And I don't know, it's like because then I'm like,
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: I'll be forty six next week, and I'm just like,
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: who do I look to?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Who am I? You know, So it's just kind of sad,
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: and but that's life.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so dark, but no, I mean, that's what it is.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: And it's like, you know, it's what I've learned, you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: with both of my parents passing, is that one is,
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: you know, one of the toughest things you can ever
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: go through, but it's also something that we all have
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: to go through. And the alternative is that your parents
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: see their children pass before them, and that's something no
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: parent ever wants to see, right, And I think it's
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: very beautiful that you can call your dad your best friend,
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: because I really.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Can't say that.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: You know, me and my dad had a especially as
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: a child. We he was very supportive in ways, but
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: he was also very much like a very hard father
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: and very stern and very just distant, you know, and
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: alcohol probably played a large part of that and other things.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: So it was different, but it's really you know, I
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: definitely related at the same time because he was also
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: that same type of dude who was like wanted me
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: to see man, Like the one line you had where
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god, there's that same man
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: was if you don't finish this, you'll never finish anything.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: And I was sitting there like as you were saying,
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: I'm listening to the Special last night, and I'm like.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Yo, did I I'm like, have I quit on ship?
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about it now. I'm like, you know, damn,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: were you wrong? You know? Because whatever?
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: You know, it's probably boy scouts back then because you
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: wanted me to get my Eagle Scout and I did.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, I probably quit on some things since then.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: You know, Okay, sometimes you got to learn that just
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: you anymore, you got to quit on it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: So yeah, I think it's one of those things where
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: like because most parents, like you, you look at them
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: as these superheroes and then when you get older you
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: realize they're they're just people, yes, and and the fact
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: that him and my mom who my mom is still
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: around and but it's like you really is they're just people.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: And then if they were good, it's like, well, Jesus,
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: crast's amazing when they were good to you.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: When you when like my parents were, you know, it
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: wasn't perfect, but it's just like, man, this is just
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: this is just a guy, this is just a woman.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: They're trying to figure it out, and they led me
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: to all of the good things that I've I've you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: made it better for me than it was for them. Right,
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Sometimes hard to tell your parents that. But my mom
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: is kind of a brick wall.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: But I was going to have you ever told them that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I told him that all the time. I told him that,
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: so they knew, Yeah, my mom knows right.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: One thing I would say about you, I feel like
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you're very consistent and a feel that where inconsistency is
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: really easy to uh end up in that that kind
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of I don't know how how what analogy to use here,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: but like when you are constantly like hanging on hope,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: like you're you're in an entertainment industry at the end
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of the day, right, so it's it's hard.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: It's hard in terms of you know, like like yeah,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: you've had roles and you've done this, you've been on TV.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you're doing the comedy thing, and you know
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to varying degrees of success. Right, I would I would
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: call you, I would look at yourself and look at
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: what you're doing and call you successful just because you're
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: out there that you're consistent, you're doing your own.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: All that other stuff.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: How do you feel in terms of your level consistency,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: like do what?
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: And what advice would you give others? Do you feel successful?
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: I think when I looked at where I started to
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: where I am now, to be able to be on
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: a podcast and talk to you about what a project
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: that I did, it's pretty successful. Ideally, it would be
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: nice to not have a day job, like I was
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: telling Town.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Is the good? Yeah, But I think, like I think so,
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: I'll say this.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I think with the pandemic and with the sag strikes,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I think now maybe now, But I don't even think
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: that's true.
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: Maybe some people have a better idea that there's the
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: one percenters are always working there. You see the same
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: people in these projects that we love and we maybe
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: we don't love so much, but the stuff that we
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: consume and enjoy watching, it's kind of the same people
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: and all these things. And then there's a percentage of
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: people that are like me, like us, that are grinding away.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: You might you get a part like I had a
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: part on I booked a role on this show called
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: The Chair Company, a new HBO comedy, and uh, that
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: helped pay for the special, that helped pay the camera guy,
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: that helped pay the director, and uh, you know, so
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: it's it was great to get that, and so it's it's, uh,
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: I think I'm I feel yes, So I feel successful
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: sometimes and then sometimes when you're getting reprimanded at your
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: day job when it wasn't your fault, you don't, you
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: don't feel successful. But I knew that I was coming,
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: that I was coming to talk to you guys and
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: talk about comedy, talk about something that I care about.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: I care about my day job, but something that I'm
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: really passionate about. Uh, that makes me feel good. So
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: I think it's just a balance.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: I answer it right.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: No, you you're answering everything. You're giving us a lot more.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: And I think it's also good for people to hear this,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: especially those who are in similar positions, similar arrangements, just
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: like how you explain, like how you even went about
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: doing a comedy special to begin with, like that's fire.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Like when I was listening to the different tracks, I
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is like a little TikTok of
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: his comedy because like you know, it was.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Quick, it was it was relatable.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: It was getting to me understanding of who you were
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: a person, Like if someone never heard of you, never
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: seen you, and you was like, Yo, just listen to this.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: That's a fantastic intro to you and thank you.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it does everything you said tonight, like as
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: you're speaking to us, just about explaining who you are
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: as a person, and that the fact that it's you're
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the same person on stage that you are right now
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: speaking to us, you know.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: So it's really good how you're going about that.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And I think that will give other people guidance and
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: give them give them some hope too, like like you know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: they could beat themselves, they could.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: Be Yeah, it's crazy.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: It's hard because I know, I know people will talk about,
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: you know, the Internet being assessed pool. But like when
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: I got on Twitter like almost kind of seventeen eighteen
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: years ago whenever, man, it was like we've.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Been on that whole a long time.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's uh, you meet people like you all
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: or through the connections that you have like Rod. I
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: was telling Rod the other day like Uham is prime, Yeah,
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: Rod is prime. Ron Morrow Black out of tips just
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: h I remember listening to Beaumonti Jones and then Morning
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Jones and then.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: Like, oh, who's the Rod and Charlotte guy?
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: And then I got his Twitter and we struck up
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: a friendship chat chatting on g Chat and now we're
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: you know, doing you know, doing our things. I connected
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: with you guys through Rod and Brandon. So it's there
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: are really beautiful things that come out of this, the
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: god forsaken Internet. So you know what I mean, to
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: connect and things like that. Because I moved to New
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: York in twenty two thousand and seven, I had some
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: family friends that I stayed with for a couple of
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: weeks before I found my place, but I was alone,
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: and then you know, you have Twitter and stuff like that,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: then you start to connect with people, and it did
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: make me feel less alone, like, oh, oh there are
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: black people who like Childish Gambino. Okay, they do like
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: these shows. Oh this is cool to people who are
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: black and people who are these people are like me.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: So I think you do kind of find your your people,
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: your tribe online, So yeah, I think that's part of
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: it too. And then the encouragement, you know, I really
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: appreciate it means a lot when the people love your shit,
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: they enjoy your stuff and and and and one thing
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: with the special was to kind of purge myself of
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: that material, Like I like, there, I might bring something
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: up here and there. I did a I did a
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: Don't Tell show on uh, like last weekend in Long Island.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: That's a show where people go to these these locations
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: and like uh and and they do a kind of
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: a secret comedy show people by tack and then you
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: do stand up. So I did this show, and I
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: was doing new stuff, and I threw a couple of
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: the old bits in there, but for the most part,
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: like as I'm working on the new hour, yeah, I
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: wanted to get rid of that so I can push
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: myself to do more and write more. Yeah, to not
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: be like, Okay, I'm just gonna do this Spike Lee joke.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: I know that's gonna work. So I'm gonna close with
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: that every night, and that's gonna be you know, nobody
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: wants that. Nobody wants the same jokes over and over,
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: and comedians we can't do that anyway. So and the
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: title the Killing and Obscurity came from Bill Burr, who
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: was on a podcast with this other comedian named Tom Rhodes,
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: and he was talking about like and encounter that he
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: had with Dave Chappelle where Dave Chappelle said, man, I
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: like the stuff that you're doing. It it's gonna take
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: you a while, but when you hit, you're really gonna hit.
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: And that is something that Burr said carried him through
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: the killing and obscurity years, where he would go to
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: these clubs and people would be like, oh my god,

• 44:56

  Speaker 6: I'm a little subversive. I'm a little dark. I got
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: invited one of my because I present as a clean comic.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: The album will say parental advisory on there because there's
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: some person and stuff, there's adult humor. I was one
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: of my A comedian buddy recommended me to a friend,
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: one of his coworkers, and he said, yeah, Chris, Chris
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: would be good, uh for your show. He's clean. But
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: he and I talked to the guy. I said, uh,
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: what is this for a church? And he's like, yeah,
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: it's for a church. And it's like, I don't know
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: what kind of I forget what kind of church?
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: He said.
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: I said, well, you might want to look at my
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: YouTube channel, uh and see what he's like. Because I'm clean.
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: I don't, I don't, I'm not dirty, but I'm not
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: for everybody. And it's for a church. And so he said, yeah, okay,
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: i'll call you back. He never called back. So I'm
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing that church ben Fit next month, and

• 52:07
  Speaker 6: those taboo topics in my own way. Yeah, because then
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: the Superman is that's what I felt like. I mean,
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: she had cutlery on her hands. I don't think that
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: was woke. My argument that it was that it wasn't woke. No, yeah,
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: it's a great argument. I did not make the connection.
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: But it's also just the wile out of what you're
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: saying there.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, like I said, I don't want
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: to spoil that for people with that, but Superman is focus.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: That's a classic going right there, thank you, thank you.
