  Speaker 1: three years ago and then going on the road with him,

  Speaker 1: you know, he's thrown me in the trenches and whether

  Speaker 1: it was showing up late to shows and I'm up
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: there stretching. in front of like a crowd of 400 plus.

  Speaker 1: And I feel like Nate has just seen me grown
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in these three years where he's like, nah, man, you

  Speaker 1: got to be a part of the first one because,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I've seen you grow and I know you're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: ready for something like this. So yeah, very appreciative. I

  Speaker 1: still remember Being 10, 11 years old, they were selling
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the deaf comedy champs and the VHS tapes. I remember
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: watching the Chris Tucker one. He was wearing a Colorado
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Rockies baseball jersey, and he was doing like a Michael
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Jackson bit. And I'm just like, yo, and this was

  Speaker 1: before Chris Tucker was Chris Tucker. This girl broke up
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with me, and I invited my office, her, and a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of people. And I killed, and then she
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: still didn't want nothing to do with me. But then
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, whatever, because I figured comedy out,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: so I'm about to take the game over. And then
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the second little open mic I went to, I bombed,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and then I didn't touch the comedy stage again for
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: another five, six years after that. Yeah, I was in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the Air Force for four years, but my dad, my
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: granddad before him, they all were in the Army. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: anybody black living in Colorado Springs, that's how you ended
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: up there. Somebody in your family was in the military,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and then after they retired, everybody stayed put.
