to the yeah buddy podcast man Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
1:31
So how you been, man? We just knocked out the Uli show last night and shit like that.
1:35
Yeah, man. I was impressed. I was impressed with the improv.
1:40
It was interesting, yeah.
1:41
Yeah, I was really impressed. I didn't know that improv, you know how comedy
1:45
and improv have this thing.
1:47
You know what I'm saying? We're comedians and you guys do improv and vice versa. It goes both ways.
1:52
I didn't know there was even one between improv and sketch.
1:56
Yeah. Yeah, that was... I called a sketch dude, an improv dude.
2:01
He took his personal. He said, what? Yeah, he had the whole conversation.
2:03
He was like, hey, hold on. We do pre-written material.
2:07
You know what I'm like? Oh, God. Calm down, dweeb. Yeah, he was.
2:12
Nah, he was cool, though. But I didn't know that that existed.
2:15
I was like, oh, so every different level, there's like, you know.
2:18
Yeah, that's what I think. I was surprised. It's interesting,
2:21
like, because, like, we look at comedy. We just look at comedy, like, from the aspect.
2:24
We, like, just stand-up comedy because we understand how clickish it is and
2:28
how it is stand-up comedy.
2:30
But when you look at improv artists and look at stand-up comedians as a whole,
2:35
I don't know what y'all taught me. Y'all just out here giving therapy and shit.
2:40
You know what I mean? They're like, yeah, I'm doing that. And then vice versa,
2:44
like Sketch Arts, I don't know what these improv artists do.
2:47
They're not sitting down. They're not thinking about what they're saying.
2:49
They're not, like, I don't know. They're just making it up.
2:52
Look at them thinking on the fly. Who does that? And he was like,
2:56
I could tell like just with that one little comment. Oh, yeah. Okay.
2:59
It's kind of like if you mistake, like if you see a person that Korean and you
3:03
mistake them, like call them Chinese or something like how, you know,
3:06
I'm saying like they don't understand like to me.
3:09
It's you know but to them it's
3:12
like no they can tell they can tell easily and they're
3:15
like offended yeah comedy that dude was like no
3:18
i am not one of those and they
3:22
and i was and i hope it's not all sketch hours but maybe i
3:24
mean i'm just gonna just for this episode i'm gonna just box them all together right now but
3:27
like extra bougie too because like like he
3:31
the only reason why he came was because i i asked him to be
3:34
part of the variety show his sketch team they said oh no
3:36
man we gonna have to see i'm gonna feel it out
3:39
you know so see how it feels and shit like that whatever stuff like that
3:42
we was and i was in their group chat or whatever and then
3:45
like three minutes before the show starts he puts up in the
3:48
group chat what a horrible fucking turnout i was like oh wow i was like what
3:53
the fuck that's so that's the guy the same we're talking about the same yeah
3:56
we're talking about the same dude yeah it's like lex luther yeah yeah he was
4:00
cool but i was cool but i didn't know that the sketch comedy world had this
4:03
i want to go see some i didn't know there's a difference.
4:06
Now I want to go see it. I mean, I guess there is a difference,
4:08
I guess, but I never thought about it.
4:09
I'm like, sketch and improv, I ought to put them in the same group.
4:12
If you asked me beforehand, I'd be like, yeah.
4:15
Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no.
4:18
So who's the sketch company? Who does sketch comedy? I'm not sure.
4:22
That's what I've been trying to figure out. I thought it was all improv.
4:25
Like, I've never seen, like, somebody, I've never seen anybody ever just say,
4:29
hey, no, we're sketch comedy. We're just sketches.
4:31
Yeah. And that's not us. Like, I know, like, and I mean,
4:34
like, social media skits and stuff all like that like but not like
4:37
we're putting all like sketches like like some saturday night
4:40
live type of stuff yeah that's it but i would be kind of
4:43
like i would i'd be dope for that issue yeah yeah i'm kind of like improv the
4:46
improv was dope yeah at first i was like man this is corny
4:49
but then i seen it because you can't help but think that so i'm sorry improv
4:52
people out there i don't think you're corny in real life you know what i'm saying
4:56
but it does from a common point of view to see everybody like because we're
5:00
just we just do our shit by ourself we have other comedians that are our friends
5:04
but we go on stage it's just us it's just us yeah so we don't have that the
5:08
improv they have like more like a.
5:11
Team quality. They have shirts. Yeah, matching uniforms.
5:15
I could never see going to a show and he got the same shirt I got. No.
5:20
The same outfit we got. The headliner got the same outfit as the opening. What the fuck is this?
5:25
But then when you see it on stage, though, it works because on stage,
5:29
they have to be like that.
5:30
You have to build that camaraderie, I think, in order for when you go on stage
5:33
and perform that it goes as seamless as possible when you're dealing with something
5:38
that's, you know, you're dealing with random subjects and improv.
5:40
So they have to have a strong sense of unity so
5:43
i think some of the stuff that looks cool they do like they were all in there doing like
5:46
little exercises that they do from the outsider like
5:50
why are they doing this you're grown people but then when you get on
5:53
state you see it in the performance you see oh that's
5:56
why it's like you know just like some of the stuff you do in a football team
5:58
like is is wild you know what i'm saying like they make you
6:01
have to actually tackle you have to actually go up against your your own teammates
6:04
you know what i'm saying like it you know
6:07
but when it when the game time comes all
6:11
that stuff like it it works so improv y'all
6:15
right and we probably get it from like the vice versa like be like a state that
6:18
could be like with like we'd be like in our heads like going over our sets like
6:21
before the show or whatever people are like why are you so serious you can be
6:25
funny i might not just go over my set in my head oh yeah everybody needs that
6:29
time i can't stand when somebody tries to talk to me because you know what a comic is like,
6:34
you know, like getting ready.
6:36
You see them like in the quarter and they're like, you know,
6:39
they're up next. Yeah, they get in that zone, their heads start tilting and
6:42
they just start like, yeah.
6:44
Hey man, guess what happened to me at Womp, man? Get the fuck away from me, bro. Yeah.
6:49
I'm about to throw my whole vibe off, man.
6:53
Oh yeah, is there a language thing in this? No, we could cuss.
6:56
It's all good as shit. I didn't want to cuss.
6:57
I'm not going to cuss a lot. We don't have to, yeah, if it happens,
7:00
it happens. Okay, cool, cool. Yeah.
7:02
I should have asked that already. Yeah, we is free order.
7:07
When we first started, not this room, but before we moved over here,
7:11
we was trying to do a drink champs type of thing.
7:14
I don't really drink like that. So I just had like, I got very faded.
7:19
This was a bad idea. Let's move it to a more structured place.
7:22
I got faded. Man, last time, the last show I did, well, not the last show I
7:28
did, the last show I did was before that, I did. Shout out to Michael Winfield, man.
7:33
Yeah, his birthday is today, actually, man. Today is actually his birthday,
7:35
but he'd been at Punchline all weekend.
7:38
So, I get invited to come up there, and they got this drink that's,
7:43
like, his... I guess they gave him a signature birthday drink. Oh, dope.
7:46
But I'm thinking, you know, since Mike's a vegetarian, his drink ain't gonna be that crazy.
7:52
Bro, I had one, and I couldn't even finish the second one.
7:56
It was, like, all tequila. It was, like, just a gigantic glass tequila.
7:59
Just a bunch of tequila? It said there was lime in it, but it's more like you
8:02
poured a glass of tequila like a triple shot and then a lime walked past the
8:06
glass and went, huh, interesting. And kept walking down the bar.
8:11
Maybe he looked at his reflection, a lime like a justice fucking eyebrows and
8:15
shit stuff in the fucking glass and kept moving to a strong.
8:19
I was lit this weekend. I had a good time. How was that show?
8:22
Oh yeah, and shout out to Mikey Winfield. Happy birthday to Mikey Winfield.
8:24
How was that? How did that show go? It was fun, dude.
8:29
Kyrie, DJ, Chaz Hawkins I know I'm going to forget somebody so I apologize to the fans,
8:35
but I've seen a lot of people up there I had a good time and I don't even know
8:38
if I hold another group of comics that came Saturday and I think Sunday they
8:42
might have a show today too I don't know but yeah it was a good time man show the crowd sold out,
8:48
and then as far as comedy goes and shit like that,
8:54
Have you traveled to a lot of different places? Yeah. Yeah, I have.
9:00
Some of the places I've been, I would never have been if it wasn't for comedy.
9:03
You know what I'm saying? Like, there's no reason to go to Winnemucca,
9:05
Nevada, unless you're doing comedy or methamphetamines.
9:10
Like, there's no reason to go to that fucking city.
9:16
Yeah, because I'm laughing because the first time we went there,
9:19
right, it was like my first, like, really started to get that road experience.
9:23
And I'm with Cole Black and Rick Polito and we pull up to this casino and this
9:31
big ass, I don't know if you've ever seen One Void Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
9:36
with Jack Nicholson and the big ass Indian dude that dude, look like him,
9:40
was standing in front drinking a fucking,
9:43
bottle of Budweiser and so I'm thinking like when I first seen it I'm thinking
9:46
oh this shit's authentic, they got real because I've been to an Indian casino
9:51
but I've never seen a real Indian at the Indian he can see.
9:53
This is the first time. They taking this shit seriously.
9:56
This is our territory. This is our property. This is our skin.
10:01
So I got my bag and he's like, hey man, let me take your bag for you.
10:04
So I'm like, yeah, I'm about to get him my bag to take the bag to the room.
10:08
And then Rick is like, hey man, she doesn't work here. Yeah.
10:18
Almost gotcha.
10:23
He was like seven feet tall, too, bro. At that point, you got to be like,
10:26
I guess you got it now. He's like, yeah, this is my luggage.
10:30
You can't sit under my clothes. It's his now. Fuck it. Yeah.
10:33
He was like, I'll help you. Oh, that was crazy. He just started laughing.
10:37
And I said, oh, he's like, welcome to Winnemucca. I was like, God, damn.
10:42
No, the reason why I want to ask about that is how you listed off all the comedians
10:46
that was at Mikey's show like Sandu and... Oh yeah, Sandu was there too, yep.
10:51
There's a strong, I feel like, a comedy scene up here.
10:55
How do you feel it is when you just being able to build up here that you take your comedy on the road?
11:00
It's dope because it gives you a good grounding. It's kind of like being from a good home.
11:05
You go out in the world and realize that everybody's house ain't like your house.
11:08
There's some shitty households out there. You know what I'm saying?
11:11
Some shitty comedy scenes out there, you can tell there's much dissension in the ranks here.
11:16
And since we come from a pretty much, we still have our issues,
11:19
but it's a pretty well-balanced, nurturing comedy scene. You know what I'm saying?
11:23
There's comedy supposed to help you.
11:25
Even if they can't help you, they'll try to help you. You know what I'm saying?
11:28
But there's comedy scenes where you're going and it's like, no, it's tooth and claw.
11:33
They're fighting each other. Jealousy. Stealing jokes. Oh, man, crazy.
11:38
I don't really want to put them places on blast, but you know who you are.
11:42
Yeah no stop it cut it out no yeah i was yeah that's interesting because no i did.
11:49
Just started going out hit it up like some comedy festivals last year hit up like baltimore,
11:54
albuquerque and shit like that and for the most part i noticed that like they
11:59
all have like like i said they all have their for at least the season that i
12:02
went to and shit like those they had a dope ass comedy scene you could definitely
12:06
tell like i feel like with sacramento just because we're like In California and shit like that,
12:10
we have the luxury of being so close to going to L.A. and shit like that.
12:14
With just us being diverse and stuff like that, we kind of, our jokes travel. What do you mean?
12:23
Because we have such a diverse seat around wherever we go. Oh, okay.
12:26
Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, I get
12:28
it. Yeah, that's true. They do travel well because we get a lot of looks.
12:33
You know, we're not like pigeonholed. Like, you see every ethnic,
12:38
most ethnic people are represented in Sacramento.
12:41
This is one of the most diverse cities in the country. I think it's top 10. I know it was top five.
12:46
It might be. I know it's top 10 for sure still.
12:50
So, yeah, we know everybody. So, when you go somewhere, I'm not surprised. there's
12:53
no crowd like oh i've never seen ukrainians no i have
12:56
every day you know what i'm saying like there's no there's nothing
13:00
where i'm like oh i can't what are they doing here i don't know what makes them
13:02
laugh no i know the same shit makes everybody else laugh duh but
13:07
the but back on the comedy scene that yeah we are fortunate sacramento comics
13:10
we're watching this fortunate count your blessings you know i'm saying next
13:15
time you see a comic at the mic just buy a random comic a beer just thankful
13:19
that he's not an asshole like some of these comics are some of these other scenes, to each other.
13:25
I'm not saying that I've necessarily been treated like that,
13:28
but it's kind of like you ever been with a homeboy and he treat his girl like shit?
13:32
It's like he's not treating you like shit, but you can tell this is a toxic
13:35
relationship on both sides.
13:37
You're like, this is uncomfortable being around. That's how I felt sometimes.
13:40
I felt like witnessing some shit as an outsider, I shouldn't be seeing.
13:44
Y'all should handle this somewhere else.
13:47
Why are you doing this in front of me? I just got here. I can't help your career.
13:51
So, you know what I'm saying? I can't destroy theirs like he wants to do so
13:54
I don't know why he's saying this yeah it's weird uncomfortable as fuck yeah
13:58
extremely stop that shit stop it stop it don't do it yeah I think the thing
14:03
about it up here though too is because like we're like so close to LA they're
14:08
such a strong like like we're able to like.
14:11
When I went down to L.A. last year, I don't know. I'm going to try to get to
14:13
the point. When I went down to L.A.
14:15
Last year for comedy convention stuff, I've seen a lot of the comedians who
14:19
was passed at these clubs and shit like that were comedians that was up here
14:22
from the Bay Area, Sacramento, North California, stuff like that.
14:25
And they were still being recognized from all these other comedians from across
14:28
the country and shit like that.
14:30
Oh, yeah. so being up here and stuff like that how you say like be happy
14:33
like yeah it's competitive up here and stuff like that but
14:36
it's for a reason because like not trying to like say not
14:39
trying to shit on other cities stuff like that but like because we're so it's
14:42
such close proximity to Hollywood like we have
14:45
a chance to actually like blow up yeah hell
14:48
yeah you know like it's there and we're
14:52
close enough yeah but still far away
14:55
enough to where it doesn't like you know
14:58
what I'm saying like I don't even you're still able to get
15:00
your have your own style stuff like that but when you go down
15:03
there you're gonna hold your own right it definitely is
15:06
there definitely is a presence down there i was
15:09
fortunate enough this last summer to film
15:13
for the west coast comedy gym and we filmed in la and there was a lot of shout
15:18
out to all the companies like rico uh insane wayne lance woods jay rich tristan
15:26
was down there right trist Tristan was down there. Yeah, Trist for sure.
15:29
Enough said. Trist killed.
15:31
That's what he was saying. He was on the podcast thing, like last month or something
15:33
like that. He was talking about that. Trist beat the ass. I mean,
15:35
I don't expect nothing less from Trist, man. He's a beast.
15:38
And then who else did I see out there? I don't forget somebody. Oh, Jerry Long.
15:43
So basically, there was a lot of, like, I was in the lobby at one point.
15:47
I was in the lobby. And this is just coming from all over the place there.
15:50
I was in the lobby and then I heard some comics talking like,
15:53
man, they should just call this the Bay Area Comedy Jam. You know what I'm saying?
15:58
And I started laughing to myself, like, pretty much because,
16:01
I mean, we got it. We got it.
16:03
This area, we get lumped in with the Bay. Once you leave Sacramento,
16:07
for some reason, sometimes Sacramento still gets lumped in with the Bay Area.
16:11
We're not the Bay Area. We don't say that.
16:14
Nobody in Sacramento says that. Nobody in Sacramento says that.
16:17
I mean, maybe a couple of lame-ass niggas said that shit in the 90s. Yeah.
16:22
But we know better. We are Sacramento. And the Bay is a Bay,
16:26
and it's like that's like our cousins you know what i'm saying like we we have
16:29
it for them but that's still our cousin like we're not we don't live in the
16:31
same household but we see each other at the center of union so yeah,
16:36
yeah there was a lot so between sacramento i'll say
16:39
northern california period just showed up
16:42
and showed out and we yeah i was
16:45
very proud of us and it made an impact you know
16:48
so you can see people like all these companies they notice
16:51
it they're like yeah but it's strong companies coming from this yeah sacrament
16:54
we got look at sacramento sacramento is a small city
16:58
like to have this much talent per
17:01
capita yeah it's crazy you know i'm
17:03
saying because it's not like we're we're just sacramental but we
17:06
have like some of the best comedians around we
17:09
have a great comedy scene i'm very proud of that like teller wise like if people
17:13
wants to focus in on like what's like how like impactful the comedy scene is
17:19
up here like a like doing like the tv and movie side it's like everybody's like
17:23
wait but the hollywood gonna be the next hollywood show about like that but like,
17:27
movies ain't where it's at up here and shit like i mean it's cool to do it from
17:30
like you know you may get like a feature film up here maybe once or twice a
17:33
year or something like that But the comedy scene, I'm like, you're getting A-list headliner,
17:38
up here, either at Laughs Unlimited or The Punchline, every weekend.
17:43
Yeah, every weekend. Consistently. Solid.
17:46
It's a great place to be. Great clubs.
17:49
I wish... It's the only thing I wish we had some more clubs.
17:54
Like, real clubs. We've got two clubs. Yeah.
17:58
Like, just pure comedy clubs, right? And I'm not leaving nobody out in my...
18:01
No, because we used to have three. You used to be Tommy Tease up here. Right. Comedy is gone.
18:06
So it's a punchline. It laughs. Yeah. I think we need one more.
18:09
One more really just solid comedy club. Not a place that does comedy because
18:14
there's a lot of places that have comedy that helps and we love and thank and
18:18
are appreciative of the venues that allow comics to come in there and set up and do that thing.
18:23
We appreciate the support, but
18:24
to have a full on another comedy club out there, that'd be kind of dope.
18:28
Where would you put it at?
18:32
Downtown downtown downtown yeah i
18:34
would put that i would like i would put something like right next to the kinks like if
18:37
i could get something like right there on k street that's why i was thinking k street there's
18:40
a comedy club on k street that can be really big even if
18:43
one of the existing comedy clubs is opened up like
18:46
i don't know i think that would be kind of dope to put because comedy
18:49
is the comedy clubs are kind of like still tucked
18:53
off you know what i'm saying like laughs unlimited dope that's
18:56
that's my home club shout out to jenny and the whole staff there
18:59
much love the punchline is is right
19:01
there tucked off in arden and we don't have any comedy
19:04
on the forefront that's just like that's just like right there like people could
19:07
like yeah where you're gonna get people like no you will like get
19:10
some people walking by at last but just because where it's tucked in
19:13
at and stuff all like that right it's at the very end like if you're if you
19:17
usually like last time this probably isn't one place where you can kind of like
19:20
kind of do some like outside hey come on in but they're right at the end of
19:25
the downtown so most times people are just get in the old sack and they just
19:29
park their cars or they're on their way home.
19:32
And then parking garage is like right across the street. So they're like,
19:35
nah, you got to catch them like in the middle or somewhere while they're still hanging out.
19:39
But you know, just putting it out there. Somebody wants to open them in the comedy club, you know.
19:43
We're open for it. We love it. It's enough comedy to support it. Oh, comedy spot.
19:48
Duh. Yeah, we got the comedy spot. Got comedy spot. We got stabbed.
19:52
I feel like before the pandemic.
19:55
Oh, yeah, I forgot. I forgot about stabbing comedy spots.
19:59
You guys are comedy clubs. They do comedy. But I feel like before the pandemic,
20:03
there was a surplus of comedy clubs because we had those ones.
20:09
Tommy T's was open. Blacktop was open.
20:14
Blacktop, yeah. Blacktop. And then shit, we had like three open mics every night and shit.
20:19
You know, I don't think you have enough comedy, man. You can't.
20:22
Because last time I got a comedy spot, the list was like 36 beats.
20:27
Yeah and it was doing like i only heard of
20:30
like four of them yeah i
20:33
was like who are these people man there's always that
20:36
wave that comes in every couple years or whatever you just like it's
20:39
just this whole brand new wave like all at once like every now that you'll get
20:42
like two comedians here there are three comedians but then you'll just get this
20:45
whole big ass wave of fucking comedians you're all like we got a big wave after
20:49
covid because everybody yeah we did everybody sat on lockdown and went on youtube
20:54
and watched comedy all all locked down yeah i'm saying And they comedied out.
20:59
So when they got up, they was like, I can do this. Yeah, yeah. All right.
21:03
Out of all of them, how many are still left?
21:07
About 75% are back working their day jobs full time with no aspirations to ever
21:13
tell them the joke again.
21:14
But that 25%, it's still like 50 fucking comedians.
21:17
Yeah. There's still a lot of comedians. And that 25%,
21:20
only 10% are palatable. The other ones just won't give the fuck up.
21:24
They just out there still.
21:28
10% so it's a, I mean, but, I mean, you gotta think, like, it's not,
21:33
I'm not surprised because it's not an easy thing to do. No, it's hard.
21:35
And it's not an easy field to get into.
21:37
And the success part is, can be very elusive. You know? Yeah.
21:42
That's, you gotta get to the part, you gotta define what does success look like to you. Right.
21:47
Don't deny everybody else. Everybody else is going to be looking at you like,
21:50
so when you headlight it, when you be in Hollywood, be like,
21:52
hey, yo, I'm just trying to get off this depression right now. Yeah.
21:55
I just paid my electric bill. I'm cool. I'm chilling.
21:59
Yeah. I love it. I want to make more money.
22:03
But I think everybody does. No matter what you do, you want to make more money.
22:06
You want to maximize your time on earth. You only got a limited time to make
22:10
money and then a very limited time to spend it while you can enjoy it.
22:15
Like, what's the use of, like, spending your whole life making money?
22:19
And then you get old, and now you financially, like, if you wait until you...
22:23
You're financially stable. You got all these things in place where,
22:25
like, if anything happens, you're like, all right, I'm good.
22:27
But you're like, but now your stomach's fucked up. You can't even eat Mexican food.
22:30
You know what I'm saying? Like, my goal in life is to have the money,
22:33
but still have the youth to where, when I go different places in the world,
22:39
I can eat their food without taking some kind of pills first.
22:42
You know what I'm saying? I don't want to go to Spain and be like,
22:44
oh, man, I'm on dietary constraints. I've got to stick to the salad. Yeah.
22:49
I've got to eat at a certain time of the day because if not,
22:51
this might be my day. Right. I'm on my medication. I can't drink no wine.
22:57
No restrictions. No reservations. No reservations, man.
23:02
So if you had to, what would be the name of your comedy club?
23:05
If you had to put the comedy club here at K Street, what would be the name of
23:08
your comedy club? Oh, man.
23:11
The Choco Hut. the chuckle hut I don't know I never thought about that the boo boo I still have.
23:23
Oh the baby Satchmo tonight come see Satchmo and the boo boo the comedy something,
23:33
corner to be honest I don't think nobody cares what a comedy club is now,
23:38
you know what I'm saying nobody's like oh we're going to put the name in the club.
23:43
They don't care about that. I mean, Joe Rogan's just called The Mothership,
23:46
which I think is a... I would have never thought about that in a million years,
23:50
to be the name of a comedy club. A Mothership, yeah. It works.
23:53
Especially with Joe Rogan. I'm like, yeah. He believes it to Ellie's and all
23:57
this types of shit. Right. Mothership. Yeah, I don't know, man.
24:01
I don't know if I was in my comedy. The Body Rides, the comedy.
24:03
It wouldn't have my name in it, though. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:08
Because I would want to franchise it out and figure it in.
24:11
So I wouldn't want to be nothing local because I would want to eventually possibly
24:17
franchise it out. I wouldn't go all around the places and shit like that.
24:21
You got something like, because we got the push so you got the setup or something like that.
24:24
The setup? I think is there a place called the setup? I don't know.
24:27
If there's not, I don't know out there, people.
24:30
Somebody from the setup, if there is, we'll go call. We're going to take it.
24:32
We're going to copyright it. It's all good.
24:34
The setup is ours. The setup is dope.
24:37
I like that. The callback, there's already a callback. I like that too,
24:41
the callback that's a dope thing I don't know, I don't think about that.
24:47
I'm putting thought into it like it's really going to happen like tomorrow we're
24:51
going to come back to the next episode have a big ass business plan to set up
24:55
a five year goal how to get to this fucking comedy club,
25:00
how did you come up with the name for your album Get Rich With Diabetes Get
25:06
Rich With Diabetes album those are my two choices in life bro.
25:10
At that point, man, you'll either get rich or die be.
25:15
Do you still feel that way? No, I'm definitely not getting rich. Okay.
25:24
No, so I thought of it because I was a really big fan.
25:29
Still am. I like 50 Cent album was one of my favorite albums.
25:32
I like it because it's the whole story behind.
25:36
He went through adversity and all the stuff he went through.
25:40
So I was like, you know what, he didn't give up. So I was like,
25:42
that's why I get richer. I said, well, we'll stop it being by trying to shoot.
25:46
But they are trying to, you know, if I keep playing around, they are going to shoot me up against him.
25:52
So it was kind of like a parody off that. You know, get richer,
25:56
die, be easy, get richer, die, try.
25:58
Okay. As a comedian, like as petty as 50 Cent B, like from a comedian standpoint,
26:04
is that so shit you'd be like, yeah, like, do you have that in you?
26:07
Like for like if a comedian if you feel like a comedian's all like stole like
26:11
your joke and shit like that you gonna put like a comedian on blast and shit on like,
26:15
I'm petty to a I'm petty to an extent you know what I'm saying but not like
26:19
overly petty cause I don't have time of the day if I had unlimited money and
26:25
I didn't have nothing to do and I could do what I wanted to do I could probably
26:28
see me more petty but then also I probably wouldn't care cause I'm like I'm rich I don't care,
26:34
but nah I like it I mean I get it I get what 50's coming from.
26:39
And I respect it. That's it.
26:43
Usually the people he's getting on have done something out of pocket.
26:47
And they're just not used to people calling them out on their out of pocket.
26:50
Every time you get out of pocket, you get what you get.
26:54
I don't usually get to any kind of beefs with comedy.
27:00
I came here to make people laugh, have a good time. Now, there is a certain
27:04
part of the comedy scene right now I'm disappointed with.
27:07
And it's these comics that are coming out being super racist for no reason.
27:12
There's a particular lady out right now. Oh, you talking about that Twitter
27:14
post or whatever about the Kendrick shit? Oh, yeah.
27:17
Yeah, she's outlining for that. If y'all can listen, you know what I'm saying, then fuck you.
27:21
You know what I'm saying? Like, that whole attitude is played out.
27:25
You know what I'm saying? If that's all you can bring to the table.
27:28
I don't personally need to see you at the table. That's not a table I want to eat at.
27:32
Somebody like that is at the table because you don't need to do that.
27:35
There's been a whole lot of comments that are racist you know what I'm saying
27:38
but they still were funny at the end of the day.
27:40
Yeah yeah there was a punchline to it. It's overt hatred you know what I'm saying
27:44
like we can feel that it's not and then when you don't like that other comments
27:50
that come in the defense like oh well you're just being a pussy you just don't
27:53
you know what I'm saying.
27:54
I believe in free speech but some words are expensive you know what I'm saying
27:58
if you can't cover the tax don't say that shit you know what I'm saying like
28:02
you can't say whatever you want.
28:04
But then we're in time to say how we want. Yeah, you can't determine how somebody acts at.
28:09
So if you're out there and you think it's funny, you think it's sweet,
28:11
and you might find out the hard way that it's not.
28:15
You know what I'm saying? If you prepare to pay that price for what you want to say, then okay.
28:19
We had to pay the price for what we wanted to say this whole time.
28:23
I just don't think it's I think it's messed up because right now,
28:29
with the way the country's going with Trump and the way the Pox is going and President Timon. Yeah.
28:36
With the chainsaw and shit? Goddamn, yeah. With all this going on.
28:40
It seems like some people are just out here like they're like vultures just
28:43
creeping in and feeding off the lowest common denominators of the culture.
28:48
You know what I'm saying? If you're still out here in 2025, you're out here
28:51
trying to be a Nazi, and you're still out here hating people because of the
28:54
color of their skin, just based on that, I mean, play it out.
28:57
Because the enemy, it doesn't care that you're white.
29:01
He just cares that you're poor. Yeah. Yeah. You poor like me, we're in the same boat.
29:05
Now, we can argue over who sits in the front or the back of the boat.
29:08
But we on the boat. we on the same boat.
29:11
You know what I'm saying? So let's try to, you know, let's work on that.
29:14
So yeah, to all you guys out there still with that, yeah. Stop. Stop that. Cut it out.
29:19
That's another thing too, because like, I feel like the, I don't fucking want
29:24
to get too much into politics or whatever shit, but just the,
29:27
you said what? I don't either. Yeah.
29:30
It's not even like politics, it's just the times that were in this shit, you know?
29:33
Like before, let's say like with Trump and his office, people was kind of like,
29:37
it was like from the comedy seat aspect, people was like, oh,
29:41
I just need to laugh. I just need to get out just to hear a laugh. I get to laugh.
29:43
Where now I feel like you have these other people who are in power,
29:47
like that lady who fucking put that Twitter post out and shit like that.
29:50
It's not even like, they're like, I'm here to laugh at you now and shit.
29:53
Rather than I'm here to give you these laughs, I'm here to laugh at you.
29:56
Well, I don't even think that's what that is. Do we like... I think it's real
29:59
hatred. Well, it is hatred, too.
30:00
It's real. I think she really is, and she's really racist and she's found a venue.
30:05
And she's not alone. There's lots of, there's other companies that are doing
30:08
it. The Shock comic the edgy, edge lord.
30:11
I don't care about all that. If you're funny, you're funny. And the thing is,
30:14
what's cold about the whole thing is that I don't know this person personally,
30:18
but what if they are really talented?
30:21
And their talent that they really have is being overshadowing it because they're
30:26
putting all this other stuff into it to try to get shocked they're missing a
30:30
point. You know what I'm saying?
30:32
And I think they use the fact that, well, I'm a comedian as a cop out to be
30:36
just so overtly hateful. Right.
30:40
Yeah. And it doesn't make any sense. I mean, but, but I mean,
30:43
if that's what the route you want to go, just know that it comes with issues.
30:47
Yeah. And you got to be prepared to deal with issues. No issues are between
30:50
you and whatever God you believe in because you ain't going to get no help from me. Yeah. Ever. No.
30:58
Get rocks, bitch. Mm. Show.
31:02
Anyways, man, on a lighter note, we're going to switch it up a little bit and shit like that.
31:06
So we're going to, this is a part of the show. I call it the Mount Rushmore.
31:11
The Mount Rushmore, shit like that.
31:13
Basically, what it is, is I have comedians. They come up or whatever.
31:17
I give them something like that. You give them top four or whatever, stuff like that.
31:21
Since your album is called Get Rich or Diabetes, I know you're a big foodie
31:25
head out here in Sacramento.
31:26
So I want you to give me your Top four Because we just got to talk about that
31:32
racist bitch Give me your top four soul food spots out here in Sacramento Your
31:35

32:01
like, the crab and the sausage. I was just eating the juice and the rice and
32:05
trying to make it last longer.
32:06
And a brother at Odie walked by and said, hey, man, you want me to put some more juice on that?
32:11
And I was like, how much that's going to cost? He's like, man,
32:13
I'll just go and put some more juice on it. I said, what?
32:16
I never had my gumbo rehydrated, bro. I was like, I love this place.
32:21

And Fixins. And Fixins, yeah.
32:49
I would say that's my... If somebody came to Sacramento and wanted Soul Food,
32:53

35:16
that you would recommend for people?
35:18
For which one? Let's go with, let's start off with Torrey's.
35:21
I like to smell the pork chops, personally.
35:24
But their cornbread, you can't go wrong. They got the best cornbread,
35:27
because they make the hot water cornbread, so like a pancake.
35:30
Oh my god, yeah. I could go there and just get greens and cornbread and it'd be cool.
35:34
Yeah, I love it. This is free promo for them, too. they about to get all this free promo shit.
35:40
All fucking day. Because every time I go there, they treat me well.
35:43
As a matter of fact, my mom used to work with them.
35:46
But the owners, they used to all work for the phone company.
35:49
My mom and her sisters they have this little annual not annual,
35:56
every once in a while they have like a little they all go out to eat.
35:58
And then they pick that place.
36:00
And since they work with that lady, I think that's why they pick that.
36:04
And we had a great lunch there. Oh, nice. Yeah, the catfish is good.
36:10
Yeah, every southern place got to have their good catfish and shit.
36:14
Yeah, I mean, I had nothing there that I didn't like. I was going to have nothing there.
36:17
Everything I had that was decent. Or decent or very good. Yeah,
36:21
yeah. And then what about Colos?
36:25
Colos, the gumbo was fire. And the fried oysters. And the catfish.
36:30
I mean, like, basically, like, they kind of do,
36:33
Everything pretty good. I've never had no bad food at even one of these places.
36:38
You know what I'm saying? But when it comes to soul food, I eat the same thing.
36:41
So it's like if I go to Kola, I'm going to get a smothering pork chop in there too.
36:45
You know what I'm saying? Or gumbo. Okay. So those of you who go to soul food
36:49
meals and shit like that? Yeah, because I don't like cooking.
36:52
I don't like smothering pork chops myself. It's too much work.
36:56
Too much, yeah. Yeah, you got to fry them and then make the gravy.
36:59
I don't know. I'd just rather have somebody. Yeah, just let me just door dash
37:02
this shit. Yeah, let me get it. Yeah, for sure.
37:05
But yeah, that'd be my... Sacramento, actually, me stepping up with soul food.
37:09
I don't know if we've been struggling for a while, but... We got some good restaurants
37:13
up here. We got some pretty good... We got some good food spots up here.
37:16
No, we are one of the food... I think we're one of the top food cities in California. Honestly.
37:23
Because we got a lot of dope restaurants out here. We're right...
37:26
We're growing the food. We're right here.
37:29
The farm to fork. Yeah, exactly. Even though I still City of Trees,
37:34
