What's up, bro? What's going on? How you doing?
0:07
I'm doing great, man. How's it going with you?
0:09
I'm good, Ryan. I'm ready. What's up? This is
0:11
Hoppy Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy, and I
0:14
am very excited about my next guest. You can
0:16
see him this Friday, September 25th at the Roseville
0:21
Theater in California. The one and only. Finesse
0:26
Mitchell is on Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. What's
0:28
up, bro? What's up, brother? How you doing? I
0:34
got to do my own air horns. I need that energy.
0:36
Right now, I'm in Florida, and it's super cloudy
0:39
out. I'm very tired. I'm not that tired, but
0:42
that was some energy I needed. What's up, bro?
0:44
How's it going? What part of Florida are you
0:47
in right now? I live in St. Pete. Oh, okay. Dope,
0:51
man. My stomping grounds is Miami. I went to
0:54
the University of Miami. with a great number
0:56
of my earlier, I should say, pimpish years running
1:01
around the campus at the University of Miami.
1:03
And I started my comedy career down there at
1:06
the Coconut Grove Improv, the Miami Improv. I
1:09
wanted to ask you about that. It's crazy. What
1:12
is it like being a walk -on at the University
1:14
of Miami? You know what? This is a little serendipitous
1:19
because next week... In Miami, we are celebrating
1:23
the 25th anniversary of the 1991 National Championship
1:29
for the University of Miami Hurricanes. And yeah,
1:34
man, I was a part of that team. I walked on.
1:37
I just remember about 50 guys that came and were
1:43
invited down that summer. 1990 -something, something,
1:47
something. And then I remember them choosing
1:50
eight guys, and I made the team. And I called
1:52
my mom. I was like, Mom, I'm a Hurricane. And
1:54
she was like, You're lying. I said, Mom, I made
1:56
the team. I'm a Hurricane. And I just remember
1:59
just being excited. And then next thing I know,
2:01
you know, we won a championship the very next
2:05
year. So, I don't know, man. It's one of the
2:08
best years of – it was the best – Seven years
2:12
of undergrad I have ever spent in my life. Outside
2:18
of Saturday Night Live, I would have to say going
2:20
to the University of Miami and getting there
2:22
at 18 years old. And I guess. morphing into a
2:25
man. That was like some of the most fun years
2:28
I had ever experienced. So what was more of a
2:31
grind? Was it the practices or working at SNL?
2:35
Because they both have long hours, but one is
2:38
like putting your body on the line and the other
2:40
one is like mentally taxing, I would assume,
2:43
you know? Yeah, you know, you've heard the rumors
2:46
of SNL. They're not necessarily rumors, but it's
2:48
a hard job to just stay mentally sane, bro, because
2:53
You know, when you're there, you got the biggest
2:55
celebrities and the biggest stars in the business
2:57
or rising stars. So you got musical guests and
3:01
the host. And so one minute you're sitting there
3:04
talking to, you know, Halle Berry and Usher or,
3:07
you know, Tom Hanks and Prince. And you can't
3:11
complain. But then when your sketch doesn't make
3:14
it, you're like, I hate this job. Y 'all racist.
3:17
You don't like me. You know what I mean? Yeah,
3:19
no. You go through all of that stuff, bro. Bro,
3:22
what is it? How defeating? I don't want to make
3:25
you feel bad, but was there like a sketch that
3:28
everybody else liked but one person didn't? Because
3:31
I've dealt with this in radio where everybody
3:33
else likes it, but the one boss is nitpicky.
3:36
Did you ever deal with that at SNL? Well, you
3:40
can't really pinpoint who's saying no. Okay.
3:43
Because what they usually do is say their whole
3:49
not having a postal moment is to say, yeah, the
3:53
host didn't want to do it. Okay. But here's the
3:56
thing. A lot of times the way I pitched was I
4:00
would say, what do you want to do? Who do you
4:03
want to make fun of? And then they would usually
4:05
say, this is Justin Timberlake. He'd say, I want
4:07
to make fun of Ashton Kutcher. And so we'll make
4:09
a sketch making fun of Ashton. Or if it's Ashton,
4:13
he'll say, hey, man, I ain't like the way Justin
4:15
was all up on Cameron Diaz. I want to make fun
4:18
of him. So I'll do it. And then when they come
4:21
back and say, yeah, Justin said he didn't want
4:23
to do it, I'll be like, it's Justin's sketch.
4:26
He didn't want to team up with it. You know what
4:28
I mean? It's kind of hard to figure that out,
4:31
and I would advise anybody, because we got new
4:33
cats on the show like Cam Patterson who's killing
4:36
it. I say just don't get bogged down in the weeds,
4:39
man. You just show up every week and hope that
4:41
somebody writes something dope for you, and then
4:43
the stuff that you write yourself, you just hope
4:46
that it gets on. But that being compared to being
4:49
out there in 95 -degree weather any given day
4:52
at the University of Miami and going up against
4:55
other youth that's probably faster and bigger
4:57
than you. I can't say Miami was fun on the football
5:03
field, but it was definitely a grind. It was
5:06
definitely like, you know what? If I work hard
5:09
too, maybe I can make it to the NFL. You end
5:14
up being a comedian. Yeah, it's the second job,
5:17
right? It's always the second job. Did you ever
5:21
think about maybe playing in the CFL? I think
5:25
I might have been the XFL back then. Were there
5:27
any other leagues you were maybe thinking about?
5:29
No, I didn't want no L. I didn't want nothing.
5:33
I was done, bro. I got hit by a guy so hard,
5:37
my shoulder popped out. And it never really healed.
5:40
So being a defensive back, you can't make arm
5:44
tackles and your shoulder keeps popping out.
5:46
So I made what they say a business decision,
5:49
and I decided to focus on graduating. In 93,
5:54
I left the team, or according to them, my grades
5:58
weren't good enough, which may have been true.
6:01
He might have dropped below a 2 .0. But I kind
6:05
of focused on school, and then it was just like,
6:07
all right, let me just graduate and find my place
6:09
in life. But it was a good run while it lasted,
6:12
so I don't regret it. And I was invited back
6:14
next weekend to celebrate with the 1991 championship
6:17
team. So, you know, it's all good, brother. Dude,
6:20
I can only imagine. So I went to Miami four years
6:23
ago with my uncle and my mom. But it's kind of
6:25
like, so I have an uncle and a mom that they're
6:29
obviously siblings. And we've gone on many vacations.
6:32
And it's always weird. Like when I was 17 years
6:34
old, I went to Vegas, but I couldn't do anything.
6:36
And even though at the time I was 28, when I
6:38
went to Miami, I feel like I couldn't do anything
6:41
because I was with family. But I saw the debauchery
6:44
when I was walking around and I saw all the beautiful
6:46
girls and all the opportunities to party. But
6:50
I can only imagine in 1991, Finesse, how phenomenal
6:54
it must have been, how hard it must have been
6:56
to not always party when you're in South Beach
6:58
in the early 90s. I'm going to say three words
7:03
and some of your listeners will know what I'm
7:05
saying and some of them will not. Two live. hell
7:10
yeah i love that the two live crew with luther
7:15
campbell was the was the theme of the university
7:19
of miami football program back then uh not to
7:23
mention just the culture the music of bass music
7:26
i mean the the uh the emergence of bass music
7:29
and then the caribbean music like if you like
7:32
and i'm not talking about bob marley i'm talking
7:35
about and uh and uh beanie man and All this great
7:40
music. So when you're that young and you're getting
7:43
in clubs and everybody's grinding on each other
7:47
and sweating and dancing, you're just like, oh
7:50
yeah, class. We're supposed to go to class? Yeah.
7:54
So it was so much fun, Ryan. I just can't get
7:58
over how much that I'm so blessed to be able
8:02
to go to the University of Miami and just experience
8:04
and graduate from there. and still be a part
8:07
of the alumni and be in the fabric of the school.
8:11
Because I'm like, I spent so much money. Y 'all
8:13
better send me every email that's not asking
8:15
for money because I want to know what's going
8:16
on on that campus. So I love the school. I love
8:19
the culture. It was dope, bro. You're right.
8:23
The women. There were a lot of women. of women
8:29
from all countries. I can imagine early 90s being
8:34
on the University of Miami, being in shape. I
8:37
can imagine you did well. Yeah, I did decent.
8:41
My name was Finesse. I did pretty decent. Yeah,
8:43
I can imagine, dude. My name's Ryan. It's boring.
8:46
Oh, what I want to ask you, though. What is your
8:50
favorite SNL sketch that you were on? Is there
8:53
one that comes to your mind that you're just
8:55
like, man, I am glad that made it onto TV? Man,
9:00
I got to do Andre 3000. I got to do Hey Ya and
9:04
do it in the cold open where they usually do
9:08
the monologue. And the guest was Andy Roddick.
9:11
He was a tennis player. But Long was scared that
9:14
there was not enough for him to talk about. because
9:18
he was a tennis player. You know what I mean?
9:20
He wasn't John McEnroe. He was just like the
9:22
number one tennis player in the world at that
9:24
time, or maybe the number two. And they had him
9:25
on the show, but OutKast had just performed a
9:29
week before. So we wrote a sketch acting like
9:32
they were still in the dressing room and they
9:33
hadn't left yet. So they'd been there all week.
9:36
And I came out as Andre 3000 and I got to perform.
9:39
Hey, yeah. And I had Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph,
9:43
Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch as my backup dancers.
9:46
Oh, my God. And it was just like the top of the
9:49
show, big music number. And I'm dancing and I'm
9:53
having fun. And it was then when I said, oh,
9:55
my God, I'm in show business, bro. Like I am
9:57
like I just did something and I'm from Atlanta.
9:59
So I'm like, I just did. I just did Andre 3000
10:03
on network television. And everybody's talking
10:07
about it. So it was just one of those moments
10:09
where you're like, wow, this is great. That and
10:12
then the Janet Jackson episode was a classic
10:14
for us. You know, a lot of times when you may
10:19
have a black host, a lot of times the black cast
10:23
members are in more sketches. So, you know, Janet
10:27
Jackson, who was like a phenomenal talent, she
10:30
had a great show and we had some great sketches
10:32
there. But just like. Coming in with Kenan Thompson,
10:36
who's still on the show right now, we just had
10:39
phenomenal times, bro. We spent more time in
10:41
the nightclubs, though, than the show. And I
10:44
think that's the only thing I kind of regret,
10:46
looking back on that experience, that I clubbed
10:49
and partied way too hard to say I had a real
10:53
job. So I would change that and probably work
10:56
harder, but in hindsight, it all kind of worked
10:59
out because I'm 27 years in the game, bro. I'm
11:01
still going around. doing comedy specials and
11:05
touring and doing TV shows. I can't complain.
11:09
So, as you were talking, I said to Chad GBT,
11:14
I said, give me a question to ask Finesse Mitchell.
11:17
And here's what the ultra smart Chad GBT said.
11:21
It said, his special is called Slightly Offensive.
11:25
Who decides where slightly ends? cancel culture.
11:32
Yeah, what do you think? If you do a special
11:35
and at the end of it, nobody's writing your manager,
11:39
nobody's trying to like cancel your dates, then
11:43
you know you were slightly offensive. You know
11:45
what I mean? I've dealt with backlash online.
11:47
I've dealt with it before and it's, I'm the type
11:50
of guy. And I saw Shane Gillis was interviewed
11:53
by Ron Bennington. And he said, whenever he gets
11:57
attacked online, he sees it and then he ignores
12:00
it. I'm the same way. Do you like respond to
12:04
people? I just, I mute. I actually do this thing.
12:07
If I have like three, 400 comments on like my
12:09
post, I will cover the screen. Because I like
12:12
not knowing. I don't know if that's because of
12:15
my ego or what. I know when you're outspoken
12:18
and edgy, you're asking for it. But sometimes
12:21
people hit below the belt and it's like, come
12:23
on. You can't be opinionated in this business
12:26
anymore. What I hate is that when people hold
12:30
comedians. To such a high standard. Yeah. And
12:35
try to hold them to the fire. But we won't do
12:37
it with our politicians. We won't do it with
12:39
our preachers. We won't do it with our teachers.
12:42
Or a comedian. Let them make a joke. In the space
12:46
and in the mindset of I'm going to try to get
12:49
a laugh. And you'll get crucified for it, bro.
12:52
So that's what I hate. That's what I hate about
12:54
the business and where comedy is gone. You know,
12:57
I always walk the line. Like, I don't know what
12:59
type of comedy people may like, but I do politics.
13:03
I do both sides of it. You know, I'm a straight
13:06
shooter, straight down the middle. And then I
13:08
do a bunch of relationship humor. So, of course,
13:10
I'm going to come from the man's point of view.
13:12
So I always have dudes laughing, but then I always
13:16
have women like, I know you didn't think that
13:19
was funny. Yeah, I did. And then the dude looking
13:23
at me like, yeah, babe, I don't know what's the
13:25
problem. Dude, what is it like when you're doing
13:29
a joke about a woman or a relationship or whatever?
13:33
What is it like when you see in the audience
13:35
the offended girlfriend or wife? I dive in, bro.
13:40
I go in. Because I want that, I want to try to,
13:44
I'm like Patrice O 'Neal. I don't know if you
13:46
remember Patrice O 'Neal. I'm a huge Opie and
13:48
Anthony fan. I remember the day he died. I was
13:51
in high school and it was breaking on Twitter
13:53
and I started, I cried for about a minute and
13:57
none of my friends knew who he, I'm a huge, I'm
14:00
a huge fan. Yeah, bro. I try to like, I lean
14:04
in, but I'm not as harsh as Patrice. You know,
14:07
I'm not somebody that's like, let me sniff your
14:09
seat. I'm not that dude. You know what I mean?
14:11
I'm the dude that's just like, I want to be right
14:14
down the middle. Women who don't like my comedy,
14:19
they're insecure, bro. That's all I got to say.
14:22
It ain't me. Yeah, yeah. Now, did you get to
14:26
know O 'Neal, Patrice O 'Neal? Oh, absolutely.
14:31
Absolutely. What was he like? He was the type
14:35
of guy that he would see you and try to hurt
14:39
your feelings. But you have to know he's joking,
14:44
maybe. You know what I mean? I feel that. And
14:46
he's too big for you to say something like, I'm
14:51
going to kick your butt. No, you're not. So you
14:53
might as well just take it. Because, you know,
14:54
Patrice was like 6 '5 and 300 pounds. But, you
14:59
know, every time he saw me, he would just look
15:01
at me and he would go. This guy, you still do
15:05
a comedy? Shouldn't you be on a magazine cover
15:08
with your shirt off? Can't you leave comedy to
15:12
the ugly people? Why are you in our lane, bro?
15:16
Like, stay out of our lane. So he would say stuff
15:17
like that. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah, man. He
15:21
was honest, bro. You can't get more honest than
15:24
Patrice because he would say what some comments
15:26
would be thinking, but they wouldn't say it.
15:30
And he would never apologize for anything he
15:32
said. And he was dope, man. I've heard, I remember
15:36
on the Opie and Anthony show, they would always
15:38
reference how he was really good with women.
15:41
Like he had game and I know he went to different
15:43
countries to kind of, you know, get laid or whatever.
15:46
That was always kind of the, yeah, he was a fascinating
15:48
dude, man. What do you think? This is what I
15:51
always think about with him. is he died in 2011
15:56
right before cancel culture kind of back when
15:59
we could still laugh at things what would have
16:01
happened had he never died would he have been
16:05
because he he was going on like fox news defending
16:08
don imus being outspoken back then i'm saying
16:10
what what would have happened had he not died
16:13
would he have had to clean up his act for cancel
16:15
culture do you know what month he passed i think
16:19
it was november to be honest So 2011, November,
16:23
if he would have stayed alive, he would have
16:26
been canceled December 2011. That's what I think.
16:32
I think it would have all caught up to him. And
16:36
that would have been the end of Patrice O 'Neal
16:38
on the public scene. But he would have been an
16:41
underground cult hero, bro. You know what I mean?
16:44
It's like Chappelle doesn't do a lot of press.
16:47
He doesn't do a lot of TV shows, movies. He don't
16:49
do none of that stuff. But if he sends a text
16:51
out or something on tweet and says he's somewhere,
16:55
oh, people pull up. Because they remember what
16:58
it used to be like before people got canceled,
17:01
you know? What I want to know, what type of memory
17:04
do you have? Because I just Googled it. He died
17:06
November 29th, 2011, 15 years ago. What's weird
17:10
is I knew the month because I remember being
17:12
in a computer lab. Because I was really into
17:15
Opie and Anthony and it was breaking on Twitter.
17:18
And so I was able to pinpoint that memory because
17:21
I was very sad. What type of memory do you have?
17:25
Do you remember things very well or not so much?
17:29
So I know that a lot of people do crowd work.
17:33
I am a very dope crowd work artist. And what
17:38
makes me special and dope is that I can remember
17:43
at least up to 15 names and what you do. So my
17:48
comedy looks more like a magic show by the time
17:51
I'm done because more people start laughing with,
17:53
wait, how does he remember that I got abused
17:57
in third grade? Well, you told me 24 minutes
18:00
ago. You know what I mean? It's just like I have
18:05
a great memory on stage, but when it comes to
18:08
my wife telling me to do something... I don't
18:11
think she said it. I don't think she ever said
18:13
it, bro. You know what's the worst? No, go on.
18:17
I'll tell you. I'm just saying. I mean, so many
18:19
times she's like, oh, you didn't do this. You
18:21
didn't do that. You didn't say do that. And then
18:23
she has to like send me a text or show me something.
18:25
You know, I'm like, yo, all that proof. I ain't
18:28
into that. I don't need proof. Dude. Yeah. So
18:31
I don't know, bro. It's just weird. It's weird
18:33
when men are like that, right? There's nothing
18:36
worse than when. They're talking about their
18:41
day and you're trying to listen, but you're having
18:43
to do something on the laptop or on your iPhone
18:48
or Android, whatever you have. And they stop
18:51
and they go, well, what did I just say? There's
18:53
no bigger. I don't think the word is shame because
18:56
I don't really care, but there's no more awkward
18:59
way of saying I wasn't listening. My ex did this.
19:02
She would be like, well, what did I just say?
19:04
And I was like, uh, she's like, yeah, you're
19:06
not listening. The best. So the best though was
19:10
when they think you're not listening. And then
19:12
you're like, Mary went to the grocery store and
19:14
saw a cute dog and posted it on IG. And then
19:18
she's like, wow, you are listening. Oh, and they
19:21
still get mad. Yeah. They still get mad. They
19:24
get mad when they don't, when you don't know
19:26
and then they get mad when you know or they say
19:28
something slick. And finesse. So I just make
19:30
a, I make a good situation worse than just calling
19:33
my wife a female narcissist. Well, you know what
19:36
it is too? It's all good. You know what's crazy
19:39
though? Have you ever dated a girl that you have
19:42
an argument but it's something that needs to
19:44
be addressed and it all gets solved. You have
19:47
your makeup sex. You go about your life. And
19:50
then let's say it happens, like, I'm just going
19:52
to pick a month, like March. And then let's say
19:54
five months later in August, you're arguing,
19:57
and they bring back that thing you did five months
19:59
ago, even though the argument was completed and
20:02
put into a vault. Have you ever dated someone
20:05
that did that, where they would bring things
20:07
up, and you're like, I thought we resolved that?
20:11
Because I'm in therapy right now, I'm going to
20:14
just pass on this question. Because we are making
20:18
progress. And she always Google searches my interviews.
20:22
So I'm going to say that no, that never happens.
20:26
Finesse has never done that ever. I've never
20:30
done that. When we have an argument and it comes
20:33
to a close and we have a clear winner or a clear
20:37
resolution is done, no, my wife never brings
20:41
that up. No, my wife never says that. Remember?
20:46
when our before our daughter was born remember
20:50
we had an argument and I'm like she's 12 babe
20:54
she's 12 so yeah but you know what man the thing
20:58
is if you're in love and you feel like the person
21:02
is worth it yeah then you go through stuff like
21:05
that because you hope that one day the conversation
21:08
is hey can we not do that and here's why but
21:14
if you feel like it's going nowhere and the writing
21:17
is on the wall, man, don't take that crap from
21:20
nobody. Here's what I want to know. I want to
21:23
know. So I was just watching a breakfast club
21:25
interview you did seven years ago and you were
21:27
talking about how your daughter is, is her name
21:31
L right? Do I remember? Yeah, her name is Elle.
21:33
Yeah, and you were talking about how Elle was
21:35
jealous and you were making Elle and your other
21:38
daughter hold hands to get along. That was seven
21:41
years ago. What's their relationship now? Are
21:43
they kind of learning to get along? I don't have
21:45
any siblings, so I truly cannot relate to having
21:48
siblings. So I'm fascinated when people have
21:50
kids or there's anything to do with siblings,
21:53
so I don't have any. So what's it been like the
21:55
last seven years? I think that's been the biggest
21:59
blessing in my life. My oldest is Elle. My youngest
22:04
is Eva. I always make the joke, raise an L and
22:07
deliver us from Eva. But they're the best friends,
22:10
bro. They are like two peas in a pod. They take
22:14
up for each other. They cover for each other.
22:17
The only thing that they will argue about is
22:19
the remote control. They want to be in the same
22:22
room and watch TV with each other, but they both
22:25
want to watch something different. And here's
22:27
the weird thing. One wants to watch Fuller House.
22:30
And the other one wants to watch Little House
22:33
on the Prairie, the old one, not the reboot.
22:36
So maybe they're also old souls. You know what
22:40
I mean? I don't know. I think this Gen Alpha
22:43
is appreciating things from the past because
22:46
they're seeing how crazy Gen Z is. Yeah, absolutely.
22:50
And I did a show called Ant Farm back in the
22:53
day on a Disney channel. I remember that. They
22:54
didn't even know I did. They didn't even know
22:57
I was an actor actor. It's just like daddy goes
23:00
and he does shows. You know, I go, I travel out.
23:02
I do my shows. I do shows with Matt Rice. I do
23:06
shows with Tisha Campbell from Martin. I do shows
23:08
with Chappelle sometimes. Sometimes we just got
23:11
through doing Yellow Springs at his summer camp
23:14
thing. So that was awesome. But they just know
23:17
daddy as a comedian. When they saw Descendants
23:20
from Disney and they saw Chyna McClain singing
23:23
and they were like, oh, we love her. And I'm
23:25
like, oh, that used to be my daughter. And what
23:27
do you mean? Oh, I was a Disney dad. We have
23:29
a show called Ampharm. It was like, yeah, right.
23:32
Then I found it on Disney+. When I tell you,
23:36
I became the coolest dude ever. Hell yeah, dude.
23:42
I walk in, it's about a little girl who's gifted.
23:45
So she's in high school already. She's a 10 year
23:47
old. And when she walks in and she goes, dad,
23:50
hurry up. And I walk in and my, my kids drop.
23:54
They were like, it was just like, it was, it
24:00
was such a dope feeling to see them binge watch
24:03
five years of 30 episodes and like two weeks.
24:08
what's your wife's favorite thing that you've
24:10
done? So that's your favorite thing that, or
24:12
your kid's favorite thing that you've done. What's
24:15
your wife's favorite project of yours? As far
24:20
as work, I think she really, we did this movie,
24:24
Who's Your Caddy? A golf movie. I remember that.
24:26
It was great. Yeah, big boy, Faison. Yeah, yeah,
24:30
yeah, yeah, yeah. We found out that was Bill
24:32
Clinton's favorite comedy. She worked on that
24:34
movie. So, yeah, man, that was probably like
24:38
our favorite project. She worked on that movie
24:41
and that's how we kind of met. So, yeah, that
24:45
who's your caddy? And then I don't know. She
24:49
loves my stand up. Like she's I love the fact
24:52
that she's a fan of my stand up. And I love the
24:55
fact that she's like every time I come see you,
24:57
it's something new and different. And I just
25:00
took it to Chappelle's summer camp. And so it
25:03
was me. It was. D .L. Hewley, Earthquake, Whitney
25:09
Cummings. We had one of these crazy shows with
25:12
a whole bunch of stars. And when she saw me perform
25:15
there with Dave and all these top headliners,
25:19
and she saw me crush it, she was like, oh yeah,
25:22
that's my man. That's my man. Dude, I love asking
25:29
people the generation above me this. What would
25:32
it have been like when you were in your 20s and
25:35
30s had you had dating apps in the 90s? Let's
25:39
say 1991, there's dating apps. What would it
25:42
have been like? Herpes. Herpes. Herpes Simplex
25:46
10. Herpes Simplex 9. Herpes, herpes, herpes.
25:50
Yes, there would have been something I caught
25:52
that penicillin. would not have been able to
25:55
get rid of. So I'm so glad you had to actually
25:59
see a cute girl at the mall and walk across the
26:02
food court and lay it all on the line and say
26:04
something cool versus just point and click your
26:07
way to a relationship. Dude, imagine you match
26:12
with a beautiful Asian girl. This is what happened
26:15
in May or June. You hook up with her. She leaves
26:20
after five minutes, even though you kind of wanted
26:22
to hang out. Because maybe you want to go for
26:24
round two and you never see her again. Imagine
26:26
that. And you just met 20 minutes ago and she
26:28
lives down the block. You get the deed. Dude,
26:31
it's incredible. But it's also weird because
26:34
the weirdest part is when you catch them talking
26:38
to another guy while you're on a date, like they'll
26:41
have the Tinder app open and you're like, at
26:43
least wait till we go our separate ways. What
26:46
are you doing? I put my phone. I'm so happy,
26:50
bro. I'm so happy that we just didn't have, we
26:53
had technology, and we had cell phones, but we
26:56
didn't have social media like that. They were
26:59
just talking to us about Twitter back in the
27:02
day, Ashton Kutcher, and I was still a cast member.
27:06
It was like 2006. I remember that. They were
27:09
telling us Twitter was coming, and he came to
27:11
pitch it to us. Because he wanted the cast members
27:14
of SNL to like kind of help be the face of it.
27:17
You know how they try to get celebrities or people
27:19
who are like, you know, pop culture. And Tina
27:22
Fey had shot it down. So we all shot it down.
27:25
So for a little while, I was like anti -social
27:28
media because I was like, I don't need it. I
27:30
mean, why do I need it? I didn't know people
27:32
were using it to hook up, hook up. That would
27:36
have been crazy. Yeah, I remember. He was the
27:39
first person to get a million followers on Twitter.
27:42
Kutcher was. Ashton Kutcher. And I remember they
27:44
were like, oh, you got a million followers. There
27:46
was. And now, like, Mr. Beast has, like, a hundred
27:49
million. It's incredible. It's crazy. Yeah, that's
27:52
crazy. Crazy where it's come. Yeah, I would have
27:54
used it for evil, though, bro. To answer your
27:56
question, Ryan, I would have, yeah. Hey, Finesse,
28:00
before I let you go, could I get you to record
28:04
a liner? Yeah, absolutely. Have it say, hey,
28:08
this is Finesse Mitchell and you're listening
28:09
to Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. You got it. Ready?
28:17
Yes, sir. I'm ready. Hey, what's up, everybody?
28:21
It's your boy, comedian, actor, author, Finesse
28:24
Mitchell. And I'm with Ryan Hoppy and you're
28:28
listening to Hoppy Hour. Ah, you're the absolute
28:30
best. Let me do it one more time. Okay. That
28:33
was good? You got it? Oh, okay. Because I'll
28:35
do it again. One more. Why not? Why not one more?
28:39
All right. I'll be quiet. Hey, what's up, everybody?
28:42
It's your boy, comedian, actor, author, extraordinaire,
28:45
Finesse Mitchell. And you're listening to Ryan
28:48
Hoppy on Hoppy Hour. Know what it is. That is
28:53
awesome, dude. That just made my day. Now, for
28:56
people that are listening. If you're listening
28:59
before September 25th, because this is a podcast
29:02
and it's also on the radio, but if you're listening
29:04
in the future, go to finessmitchell .com. But
29:08
if you're listening before September 25th, you
29:11
can go see them at the Roseville Theater in California.
29:15
I know tickets are going by fast. Finesse, why
29:19
should people come out to your show? Yo, man.
29:22
First of all, I'm dope. I'm in my own top five.
29:26
I'm one of the dopest stand -up comedians in
29:29
the game. So there's Chappelle, Finesse, Richard
29:34
Pryor, Finesse, Eddie Murphy, Finesse, Finesse,
29:38
Finesse, Finesse. It's just a dope... Sometimes
29:40
people love discovering somebody new. And even
29:45
though I've been in the game a long time, I hear
29:46
this all the time. I had no clue you were that
29:49
funny. Because sometimes when you get on shows
29:51
like Saturday Night Live, you get... Kind of
29:53
typecast in a box of they don't do stand -up.
29:56
Oh, no, man. The reason I was on Saturday Night
29:59
Live is because they saw my stand -up. So, yeah,
30:03
