This is my first time ever in Vegas, dude. Ooh. Yes, sir. I wonder what the crowd is like here. I've been to a few shows out here. From what I hear, it's much different. This is a crowd that comes to a lot of comedy shows. you know i'm i'm out here touring and the people that buy tickets they come specifically to see me so they know who i am yeah here a little harder egg to crack i hear yeah man interesting we'll see i could see that because i went to nicki glazer's show and crowd was tough

No Matt Wright fan base? No, no. All married couples come to my shows.

Old Rive's got 90% single ladies coming to his. A little different crowd. You keep your PG, too. I noticed you don't talk about politics. I do not, man. I do not man i do not i i stay strictly out of politics and i feel like it is doing me very well because i see some of these social media influencers that take off they do good and then they want to voice their political opinion you

watch them just plateau well i'm here strictly for your entertainment i just want to make you laugh and forget about all that stuff yeah Yeah, because you're going to segment half the people, whatever side you pick. 50-50, man. I'd rather have 100% and let them come and have a good time than fight. Yeah.

Was comedy big where you grew up? No. I grew up out in the middle of nowhere. Nowhere. Dude, like, when I say nowhere, man, I mean, the road steadily shrinks because the grass is growing. It's not paved. Oh, it's not paved, I mean the road steadily shrinks because the grass is growing.

It's not paved. Oh, it's not paved? I was the only child, grew up out in the middle of where my closest neighbors were two brothers and sisters that were farmers that had never been married. Well. In their 60s, living in one plantation house together. Holy crap. They're brother and sister? Brother and sister.

Damn. Yeah. I had no kids around me. So I just had to. And I really think that's where I get it. I just had to use my imagination a lot. And so that's what turned me into what I am today. Wow.

So you had no kids, like friends growing up? No, no miles. At school. I'd see them at school. But as far as on a daily basis, I was just on an island. Damn. Yeah. And you didn't even know about it, right?

Because there was no social media. There was no TV at the time. Oh, man, this is in the 90s, dude. This is before any of that. This is just me out there using my imaginations. And I had a lot of imaginary friends, dude. Yeah. You come to my house, you think something's wrong with me

talking to all these people you can't see. So you might have a spiritual side to you. I might. I might. I do. You know, Southern Baptist. Respect, dude. Yeah. So growing up and experiencing all this now must be just a huge change to you i might i might i do you know southern baptist respect yeah so growing up

and experiencing all this now must be just a huge change for you different worlds man and i still to this day don't understand it i don't i don't i don't get it you know because i'm just a dude from the middle of nowhere and for people to come up like man i love your stuff and and last night us walking down the strip it was constant constant oh hey that's ginger bill hey man can we take a picture man i love your stuff it never gets old been doing it five years and i am still happy as hell to take a picture with somebody if they want to wow that's cool man because some people won't stop for those no no not me i will stop every single time and you can ask my wife who's like we'll never get where we need to go because i just stop stop stop, stop.

That's cool, man. You've really attracted that fan base. I have. I have. I'm very fortunate. The people that I have as a fan base have watched my child grow up. I use stories a lot, Instagram, Facebook. So I'll have people at my shows be like, man, I've watched you, little boy, grow up.

I remember when you and your wife went through this or when your dog died so they watched my life so it's just pretty cool that's impressive man and now before this life you are a respiratory therapist 13 years man 13 years so you helped people that couldn't breathe oh did i you know a lot of people think you just give them some medicine they breathe on no man we sticking tubes down throats. I'm running life support, dude. Holy crap. Yeah. Tidal volumes and all these ventilation equations. And yeah. How'd you get into that? Because that's a big change from- I'm asthmatic. Oh. I about died. Nine years old, about died because of asthma. I was- Are you tired of ordering on a menu in a different country only to be served snails?

In the hospital for a week, they didn't know if I was going to make it or not. And I saw what the RTs did. They walked in and those people saved my life. And I was like,

man, that would be a cool job and straight out of high school 17 years old went into it and at 19 i was registered and working at the hospital wow yes sir did you enjoy it i did for you know probably about first five to ten years it was good you know because it was about the patient yeah and i'm a people person so to be able to see people get better and you're helping them. But the medical field has changed a lot. Now it's money. Yeah, of course, yes. These hospitals have to make money. But, man, the stuff that they charge, it just got to the point where I just couldn't.

I didn't enjoy it. And also I've seen so many people die because I was working in surgical trauma, working in emergency rooms, level one. So you see so many people die because I was working in surgical trauma, working in emergency rooms, level one. So you see so many people die, it makes you numb to death almost. So, you know, when I would have somebody close to me die and it didn't bother me, I was like, man, this is a kind of weird problem. Damn, you were so numb that close one. Yeah, man. Yeah, I just did it emotionless.

Holy crap. Yeah, yeah. Did that first one traumatize you, the first death you witnessed? Very much so uh i can remember being in the patient's room there's a lady and she died right there i watched this lady actively die that night in my bed man i'm laying there and i guess it was a dream i woke up and my covers were perfectly folded at the foot of my bed and she was standing at the end of my bed whoa that was the first lady ever watched i holy crap yeah and i'm sure it was a dream but dude it freaked me out you might have

had an out-of-body experience or something i don't know what it was i don't know what it was but she was standing there damn yeah yeah that would mess me up man i've never witnessed a death like in person like that yeah i mean we it's uh it's crazy the things you see you see people that are fine i mean we had a guy come into an emergency room one night. I was working in the ER and he'd been shot. Somebody kicked his door in

while he was playing PlayStation and they shot him. 20 years old. We wheel him in. He said, man, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

And he dies on the operating table. You hear this dude's last words and now he's gone. So it's, it does, man. It emotionally, it can.

It really can affect you. Yeah, 20 years old. That is so young. Yeah. so young yeah geez over nothing over nothing so you started making videos you know the tail end of that right yeah i've been doing this now five and a half six years okay so i was still working at the hospital and uh got a wild hair and did it and i was like man is you know first video did good one point something million views and this is back five six years ago which is you know you know how views have changed yeah and i was like okay well i did it again and it was huge man it this next video i put out had god 30 million on my facebook alone world star hip-hop picked it up lad bible damn and i was

like okay if i can do this twice in a row then obviously i'm doing something and man it just continued to blow up oh what do you think it is specifically you did because a lot of people try blowing up and they just can't do it i think um relatability first of all i do a lot with my wife my son i talk a lot about uh about them and it's stuff that people are like that's they it was tags you know and which and also man if i see something that a 190 pound muscular man ain't supposed to wear i'm putting it on yeah and people can't you know people's like oh yeah dude we gotta you know and then that and then my creations. I've made several different things that any old country boy or anybody, any person who has an imagination likes.

And so these videos just continued. I'm not a one-trick pony, dude. I will do – you have to continue to adapt. You know. Yep. If you don't, you die. For sure. Especially in social media.

One day you're relevant, next day you're nobody. Easily. So I just continue to do whatever, man, anything. Nice. Do you come up with your own video ideas? I do. I do everything because it's not authentic if you don't. Right.

You know? So I'll sit down a lot of times, and there's times where I go through writer's block. It'd be a week, two weeks. And then my brain's like, hey, dude, let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this. And then we hit it, hit it man and we go i love that yeah and then you got into comedy from there right actually i started doing stand-up uh right as i um right as i got into the video making

i i had somebody reach out to me and it was like man i'm i have this big comedian would you like to host it's like five minutes on stage how hard can that be you know and put me out on stage in front of like 3 000 people first night crap bow yeah yeah and i had like my two jokes you know went out there did my two jokes they laughed i was like okay and the adrenaline rush, man, uh, like I, you know, I was a addict for six years. I've had to always have something to give me a, just something to make my heart race. And that was what gave it to me. And, uh, so I'm very competitive. I know you play basketball. I can't stand to think that I'm not good at something. So I knew it was a challenge and I wanted to see how good I was.

And now here we are five years later, man. On tour now, thousands a night. Yes, sir. Crazy, man. I don't know about here in Las Vegas. Vegas is a different animal, dude. Yeah. But everywhere else I've been selling out doing good.

I love it. And you just shot your special, right? Duluth, Georgia. Two months ago. I did. I did. It looks like we're going to be pushing for January for that to come out.

I'd love for that to go to Netflix. That is my dream spot. That's on the bucket list. But we'll see. Nice. How does that work? You just film a bunch of shows and then compile it into one video? No, man.

No. A special is if you do it the right way for Netflix to want it or any of these big, you have to shoot it like with multiple cameras. You, you have to shoot it with multiple cameras. You have to have a whole production team. Damn. You're spending big money, dude. Really? Yeah.

So you're taking a huge risk. Oh, very much. Because what if they don't pick it up? Well, that's the thing. If they don't, it's like, oh, you can put it on YouTube. But I've built my YouTube. I don't want it on YouTube. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, last resort, but I want this thing on Netflix. Yeah, I remember Schultz did it on YouTube, right, or something? Schultz, you know, Netflix didn't want his from what I hear, and then he put his somewhere, and it popped off. And now, you know, I think they do want him. But I see these comedians on Netflix, man, and I'm like, I'm better than at least 90% of these people. Nice.

I love that mindset. I don't mean to sound cocky, but I'm like, man, if they put them on there, these people that I don't know that really ain't that good, and then you got me with 20,000 followers already behind me. Yeah. What do y'all got to lose? You got more than that. I'm pushing, man.

And every day is growing. I ain't got 11 million on instagram somebody god dang dude just hit a mil on youtube oh yeah i saw that i looked it up man your youtube's big too right oh close to two million damn i gotta catch up to you man oh man hey i'm working hard on that i want that 10 milli fuck me too man youtube's a hard and do bro it's tough it's so stagnant and then one video and then stagnant corona helped me out a lot i don't know if you was doing anything i wish i was oh i missed that one the time of growth i tell you what i told my wife the other night i was like i ain't trying to

sound bad but that pandemic was good for business it was good for a lot of business yeah it was dude a lot of businesses yeah porn industry killed it it. Yeah. Yeah, it did. I ain't going to say I benefited. I didn't help them or nothing, but God dang, yeah, they did. Yeah, everyone was locked in, man. Not much to do. No, man. And that's what was crazy.

You could post a video on YouTube, Facebook, anywhere during the pandemic. It would blow up for a couple days. It would sit there for a couple weeks, and then they would get it again because people were just sitting. Right. So it would just keep going, recycling, man it was just god yeah yeah the glory days man yeah yeah because now i look i'm like oh yeah it's competitive now man everybody's an influencer now dude yeah a lot of online comedians too it is yeah yeah well and that's the thing i

i can't stand for somebody to really call themselves a comedian you know and they will quick they make one viral video. I'm a comedian. You made one video, man, chill out. What do you think qualifies that title? What do you, what do they have to do? Well, in order to be, of course, a standup comedian, you got to get your butt on stage and you got to be legit. Not just get on stage at an open mic and call yourself a comedian. Yeah. but so many

of these these social media influencers now is is you know it's oversaturated man when i started it wasn't a thing for people to do people look at you like what what are you doing right but now everybody thinks they're influencer and what kills me is these little reaction videos where people take a video and they're just they just you know looking at it yeah i've seen those yeah but i just think man you you have to be legit like creative you have to create your own skits yeah you can't just use somebody else's video or something like that and play off you have to legitimately be creative make skits intricate skits stuff like that you know that that if you can do that over

a period of time and grow then yes call yourself a comedian yeah do your own thing yeah i don't like when people copy the exact video no well that or you know there's just certain ones though they have gotten and it kills me because here i am working on these skits man and and i look and i see some dude just and took a video that was a popular video and they'll post it first. Well, that's where you're getting your views at. And then they'll be behind it just saying something stupid for two seconds and they get 30 million views, man.

So, yeah. It's so much different now than what it was when I started. It's way more competitive. It is, yeah. And your content's intense. I just saw one of your videos, Surviving in the Wilderness by yourself on YouTube. Yeah.

How many days were you in the wild for? Three hours. Oh, three hours? That's a comedy video, dude. I thought you actually went out there. No, no, no, no, man. No, I'd die. I'd die. Even with your experience? Nah, man, I wouldn't die. I mean, I would be able to make it. How long could you last,

you think? Just me by myself? Yeah. You had hunting equipment and... I got hunting equipment. A water filter to drink water. Something to make a fire. I'm good for a week. Damn. You give me something to hunt and kill with

and something to make a fire and water, bro, I'm good. Damn, a week's a lot. As long as I don't get killed by no animals, I'm alright. There's not much that could kill you if you have a rifle. No's what i'm saying i mean i'm top predator out there yeah maybe a bear if they charge yeah yeah as long as i ain't no place where mosquitoes everywhere oh those are annoying yeah none out here bro you come to my house things look like owls man oh my god they're huge out there they'll pick you up damn take you away yeah i'm good on that i used to deal with them in jersey but oh god them jersey ones is i got heroin needles those ones hurt yeah oh my gosh hypodermics in there and them faces son god i don't miss those

dude so y'all ain't got them out here at all no i've never seen one out here what yeah vegas just dry heat they like the wet heat they like the Florida, the swamps. Swamp ass. Yeah, that's what they like. We got scorpions, though. Now, that's a little scarier than a scorpion. Yeah, you ever seen one of those? No.

Scary. No. Actually, I did. Did I? We went to Africa, and I think I saw one. Africa? I went to Africa this past summer. Damn, we got to hear about that.

Vacation, dude. Why'd you choose Africa? I'm a wildlife nerd, man. Always wanted to see an African lion up close. And you got to see it? Oh, God, dude. Two males. We were sleeping in our little tent thing one night,

and there's a river, and you can hear hippos coming up out the water. Wow. Oh, yeah. Right there at the tent. And then 1 a.m., you hear these two male lions, and they're calling. And they're about a couple miles away. Another hour later, they're closer. Man, dude, that time that sun come up, they're right there across the river.

I'm like, I hope, God, they can't swim. They come over here, we're done. But, yeah, it was a family trip, my wife and my son. And then we, dude, if you ever have a chance, go. Dude, so you were living in a tent just outside? It's wild.

It was just females with their babies and teenagers. And they come up, and we're in a little truck, and half of them go this way in front.

Half of them come behind us. So now we're trapped. We can't go nowhere. And the mama with her baby looks at us with her trunk, and she goes, like, get the hell out of the way. And we couldn't go nowhere.

Yeah, it does. Especially in sports. I want to see you hoop. Hey, I was a mean point guard. It was the only position I could play. But, yeah, man, I'm a good facilitator. Not bad at the three-point line. All right.

You still play or not? Oh, I still – me and my son play. All right. I dominate him. Next time you're out there, man. Yeah, we'll have to. If it wasn't 8 a.m., bro, I would definitely play. What time you get up?

Oh, damn. Yeah. That's early. I'm up at 5.30. Yeah. Get up 5.30. You know, I had to, I can't just get up and wake some up because I'm pissed off at everybody. I had to wake up, stay up an hour, gain my composure.

Oh, you're not a morning person? Nah. Well, I ain't like a dick or nothing, but I at everybody i had to wake up stay up an hour gain my composure oh you're not a morning person nah well i ain't like a dick or nothing but i just i need to wake up yeah you know i can't talk to my fiance the first hour yeah it's just something about it man i don't want you talking to me leave me alone give me an hour then i'll be happy at least you know it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and my wife knows it you know she leaves me alone so we do that yeah you got a kid you you said? One. Nice. Nine years old, man. And little boy. I'd have been happy with a little girl, of course. But, man, with a little boy, I coach his football.

We do jujitsu together. You know, I coach his soccer. I'm heavily – I'm on the PTO, bro. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, every year I'm on the PTO, man. I'm all about it.

You're hands-on. Yes, sir. I love that, man. Yes, sir. Definitely. Is that something you took pride in? Because did you have I'm on the PTO, man. I'm all about it. You're hands-on. Yes, sir. I love that, man. Yes, sir. Definitely. Is that something you took pride in because did you have that growing up? I had no daddy. No, man.

My daddy was busy repopulating with other women. I had a very awesome mama. My mama worked her butt off, took care of me, and just an amazing woman. And I think I have more of that motherly instinct because of her. Now, she treated me like a boy. I had a kid bully me at school one day. She saw it. I got in the car.

We pulled up to that kid's house. Knocked on the door. I said, what are you doing? She said, this is that boy's house. You're going to beat his ass. Damn. Yeah, dude. That is tough.

So I was raised by like a 5'2 120 pound but she's tough that's tough man yeah yeah that's missed these days now it's like cyber bullying oh bro you can't throw any hands no well i told my son i said look i'm paying for jujitsu for a reason if somebody messes with you i will gladly smile big smile come to school and get you out you know if you take up for yourself. Not start anything. But, yeah, no, I can't stand that stuff, man. The whole cyber stuff and everything else.

I was like, no, we just didn't do that. No, people say whatever they want online now. They do, man. And no repercussions. And I truly think it's just people are a lot softer now, too. Oh, yeah, a lot. How old are you? I'm 27. Okay, yeah, you i'm 27 okay yeah you know then yeah i know yeah i saw the instagram came out when i was in high school so that was

like the start of it but tiktok just made everyone oh man everybody's so into their feelings yeah just uh i don't know i ain't gonna go too far in it because people went oh wow you know but people too soft man they too soft yeah it's we play, though, because we need them as fans. Yeah, yeah, we do. And you know what? Like I said, I don't care. I don't care. You live your life the way you want to live your life.

But if you really have these issues you say you have, why are you getting online and expressing it? Go get help. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I was never a believer in the crying videos. Me neither, man. Yeah. That's the thing.

If you're on here saying you're having a problem and you're down and you're out, this ain't the place to go, bro. Yeah, absolutely. I agree. All right. So what happened with the Howie Mandel, Dana White interview? Well, you saw it, right? Yeah.

You saw the whole thing. I was there for an interview with Howie Mandel. Dude, that was it. I came. I was happy because I'm in L.A. A little country boy in L.A. to meet Howie Mandel, who I've watched my whole life. And I get there, and everything just kind of goes haywire. I didn't say nothing.

All the world thinks I said something. Because if you look in the comments, they're like, what did this dude with the red beard? Even Chell Sonnen did it, dude. He did? Yeah. He put up a thing. He was like, I don this dude with the red beard? Even Chael Sonnen did it, dude. He did? Yeah, he put up a thing. He was like, I don't know this ginger guy. But obviously, I think he said something to Dana White.

And Dana White did not want to be there with Howie Mandel kissing his butt, and he got mad. And it could have been that. It could have been the Howie thing. But I am such a big UFC fan and everything. And, you know, to me, if I walk walk in even if I'm Dana White and I just see a guy sitting there I wouldn't be pissed I wouldn't think Dana would be that type of guy yeah you know so uh yeah man it was just uh he was there and boom and so I just I did what I do man

saved the day you did got a lot still got a lot of views yeah it did yeah and it blew you up too yeah because I mean I like I woke up that morning, because I didn't know. I had people messaging me. Yeah. And I'm like, what are they talking about? And then, oh, he posted. And I saw, and it was just Twitter and everything else. It was everywhere.

You turn lemon into lemonade, man. You do, man. Use it. Did Dana reach out to you after? No. No. I was hoping it would, like, spark something, being such a huge UFC fan.

But no, it didn't. But that's just cool you know it's a busy dude man dude's running a billion dollar corporation multi and all that so you know a lot of people thought it was fake yeah yeah i saw that i saw that too but it seemed pretty real yeah it's uh let them think what they think you know the internet some of the stuff i was reading conspiracy theory and everything else i was like, man, it is wild what people will throw out there. Yeah. Who you got winning the UFC 300 fights?

Man, I got Jamal Hill. I like Pereira, but I just think Jamal Hill, dude, that dude's a banger. Yeah. And I think he's going to win. The Chicks, I think uh wayley is gonna win that's the first fight between two female chinese one champion another chinese chick they both caught dog tough as nails i'm chinese girls man man they god dang bro five foot tall they're changing the narrative because before asians were only good in school yeah now they're

fighting good at beating people up. I'll take it. I'm half Chinese now. But did you notice, though, it's the Asian females. That's true. No offense to the Asian males. No, you're right. I can't name a male fighter. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. I mean, well, no, he's Korean. Korean zombie. So, I don't know. But anyway, yeah, so I got, and then who you got between Oliveira and Sarukian? I want Oliveira. I think I got Sarukian. Really?

He come out, he beat Darush, Darius, like that. Oliveira doesn't lose that often though. He don't, but man, I think Sarukian, I think Sarukian might even give,

oh, Islam. I think he'll beat Oliveira and he'll go to Islam. Wow. Do you bet on these? You know, no,

because I ain't got, I can't in South Carolina. Believe me, if I could, I would, but I can't. But, and then who was the other guys fighting? Who's the other big fights?

I don't know. I just watched the main like four or five. Yeah, yeah. I'll be performing, dude. So I might have to have the phone on or still on performing so I can watch. Love it. Yeah, man.

You ever go to the one in person? I went to a UFC in Atlanta, Georgia when it was Jon Jones versus Rashad Evans. Damn. That's a big one. That's the first and only one I've ever been to, dude. Damn. Yes, sir.

That's a good one, though. Y'all, it was amazing. Because that was when Jon Jones, I think, won the belt. And it was him and Rashad Evans hated each other. And Jones made a mockery of him, man, because Evans was – it was like me fighting you. Tall. You're tall. But Jones would just elbow him in the face. Yeah. You man, because Evans was – it was like me fighting you. Tall. You're tall.

So Jones would just elbow him in the face. Yeah. You know, and Evans couldn't do nothing. So that was a good one to go to. Yeah. That Jones-Cormier beef was the best I've ever seen. It was amazing. I still watch it.

I watch highlights of it all the time, man. I feel so bad for Daniel Cormier, though, because he was – he could beat anybody. He just couldn't beat Jon Jones. Yeah. He was considered one of the goats. Went to heavyweight. Yeah.

One day heavyweight belt, but could not beat Jon Jones. Yeah. Second best in the world, but people don't even look at it that way. That's it, man. That's it. I think really and truly he is – Cormier is a monster. But it was – and for Cormier to be such a good wrestler and Jones to be able to do what he did to him.

Yeah. That's got to be just disheartening, man. Absolutely. Yeah. I wonder if they made up. They did. Oh, they did? Yeah, they did.

They actually saw a thing where they kind of talked and everything's good. Nice. Yep. You got any dream purchases coming up now that the money's coming in? Dream purchases? Nah, dude. We built a house last year. We've been in a year.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, wife picked everything. I told her i said look you do whatever you want i just want bidets on all the toys i love bidets dude i got one about five years ago sent to me it's i got i'm living in a double wide and i got a darn booty washing machine in the door and uh heater blow dryer like that's what's on it. That's what's on the ones at the house, man. That's fancy. Heated seat, blow dryer, heated water.

Okay? It'll change your life. Oh, yeah. Change your life. But, yeah, here I am in a double Y with the most expensive thing in there is that darn bidet. Dude, there's this Asian restaurant in Vegas I go to mainly for the bidet. Yeah. I don't want the food, man.

I just want the booty washing machine. I don't even eat dessert like that. But the bidet, Yeah. I don't want the food, man. Nah, it's a dessert spot. I don't even eat dessert like that. But the bidet, dude. Oh, my God. Man, I'm telling you. Get you one at your house. Yeah. You'll never leave the bathroom. Never.
