Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Mick Unplugged. And today we have a guest that is a comedic genius who has an unfiltered style of humor and a magnetic stage presence that has been lighting up the comedy scene worldwide.

Known for his quick wit and a viral hashtag that we're definitely gonna get into in a moment, he's become a standout performer on the renowned live podcast, Kill Tony, and a regular at the Comedy Club closest to you. Get ready for a real and deep conversation with the hilarious, the unapologetic, the unstoppable, my uncle, Mr. David Jolly.

Uncle Dave, how you doing today, brother? Mama, we made it. We sure did. We sure did. Hey, Uncle Dave, we just gonna give them the cookout conversation. You can say David, you can just say David. That's cool. David, yeah, giving them the cookout conversation.

For sure. They ain't ready for this one. Well, they gonna have to get it. Let's go, let's go. So for the world, y'all gotta understand my Uncle David, man. Like when I talk about a true comedic genius, I really mean that by every stretch of the imagination because Uncle David, you know this just like I know.

There's a lot of funny people out there. Just daily, you make me feel old. You are old. I ain't number 43, motherfucker, you look older than me. Man, I am 22. What's 24? older than me. There I am 22 plus 24. Little brother Dave, just name it.

So there's a thing, there's a lot of people that can be funny, right? Like we talk about the cookout, everybody has that funny uncle that can tell a good joke, have everybody laughing, but there is a big difference when you got to get on stage and people expect you to be funny and expect you to tear their stomach up.

Man, how did you master that? I just, it ain't no plan B, you know what I mean? Like people say like, oh, I want to do this. Like I don't know the last time I did that regular, you know? Like if I'm dating somebody, she know, hey, I'm really dating comedy. You gonna be here for a minute, but I mean, how long you gonna really last?

Cause I, every single day I go do comedy, you know? Like I got here early tonight cause I just want to see the city of DC and I'm a go find somewhere to get up at the night, you know? People want to do stuff, but then some people want to dedicate the rest of their lives to it. You know what I mean?

Can't make it. You can't be halfway in and halfway out. Like, hey man, I got a show, I got this big opportunity for you. And you like, well, I gotta go to the movies with my lady. Ain't no girlfriend on Mo. Ain't no what that. Not if you wanna do it for real.

All of that is not to do. The only thing you married to is comedy. See you. Yup. And here's what I learned from you. And this is something you taught me, man. And I mean this genuinely. A lot of people wait for an opportunity

or they wait for opportunity to not. What David Jolly said is, damn it, I am the opportunity. And you make everything happen because to your point, there is no plan B. You are the opportunity, man. How do you help other people understand that? Because most people don't get it.

They sit around and wait for somebody to give them something or wait for that phone call. I was 20, 24, 20, 25. Those phones don't ring like that no more. I mean, if I'm cool with you, I'm gonna cuss you out about it. Fuck boys, you don't understand. They don't understand like that no more. I mean, if I'm cool with you, I'm gonna cuss you out about it. Fuck with you, understand. They don't understand being nice no more.

Like if I can't talk to you like a man and we talk to each other like that, then you're just like an associate. If I mess with you, then, hey man, I wanna see you win. Or let's just leave each other alone. Yup. You know what I mean? Like, cause you can't tell me that you wanna do something

and then you're going to sit and complain about what could happen. Are we even going to make a solution for it? Or you can lay in your own misery. Absolutely. You got to find a solution or, you know, like somebody told me when I first started doing comedy and my boy Ross McCoy, I was like,

so what I do after this? He was like, you bomb a lot. You going to go to every mic, no matter what it feel like. You just going to keep going. You know, just keep like, so what I do after this? He was like, you bomb a lot, you gonna go to every mic, no matter what it feel like, you just gonna keep going. People say they go up a lot, but you have no idea. Literally living and live this, that's it. Ain't nothing else. I just keep going, you just gotta keep going, especially when they look crazy,

that means something good coming around the con. And that's the essence of life too, not even just in the comedy world, but just in life. I tell people all the time, man, there's success just on the other side, where people fail is they just stop, right? Like, woe is me, the world is coming. The world is crashing on everybody, man.

Like everybody going through something. It's those that keep going that see success happen. And nobody want to hear your misery, your sad sob stories. Like when I ended up in Austin, like, you know, Cam called me when he first moved there and like, this was before Kill Tony, this was before all of that. Like he called me and I was like, man, how you liking it? And then like, he was like, man, I love it out here, man.

I'm murdering these people. Like I'm really this strong out here. So I was like, man, let me check this out. So it was, my birthday was like the next week. So I was like, I'm finna get a flight out here. He was like, man, you ain't coming out here. So I caught a flight, got there that Saturday. I did the open mic that Sunday for Comedy Mothership

and I got invited back So at that point I was like, oh, this is the way in Back right right then I was like, this is this is my opportunity right here I got to make the best of this opportunity and then like I kept coming flying back and forth You know to come see cam and just get up and then a kill Tony thing happened happened when I was there and it's just like, everything was like off. But I mean, you wouldn't think that's when it get easy, but that's when it get harder

because everybody's shooting at you then. Right. Nobody wanna bury you when you're on stage. You know what I mean? But I mean, that's where like the gang violence thing come from. If we on stage, like say we on the same show and I deal with you, I'm like gang violence,

hey, it's for the career. I'm about to go over there and destroy these people, you better be able to follow it. You know, it's just like iron sharpening iron, you know what I mean? Just create your masters, you know? Right. Right.

It depends on where you look at it or you know, like I believe in just murdering, you know? Yeah. Pay it up. Yeah, and for all my corporate listeners, he's not talking about like physically murdering, calm down, calm down. Oh, like a curse song, yeah, I should've, I should've asked.

Oh, you can say any, you can say any and everything you want. This is your world. Okay, you know, I still try to not get too crazy, you know, try to be somewhat professional. Everything is everything, man. So how did David Jolly get started? Like that essence, you know, on Make Unplugged,

we like to talk about your because, that thing that really gets you going, your real purpose, your real mission. What got David Jolly started in the game? I got a buddy of mine named D-Rog. He a rapper, he's a comedian, like one of my best friends, you know? And he was about to do a show with these people

called Tom and Dan and my boy, Ross McCoy. It was a local comedy show. I never did comedy, but I was always funny, you know? And I never knew where to start at. I never knew about none of that, cause I'm from Orlando. So I found out once I went to the show and I asked him beforehand,

hey, can I get a little time? And Ross was like, nah, man, it's a real show. We don't even letting you up here. You didn't even come stink my stage up. But then when I got there, I had prepared, like maybe he might let me on. I never really wrote any jokes. I just wrote down some ideas.

So when I got there, he was like, you know what? Just get up. So I got up. It was really, really good. I asked him what to do next and he say, you got to, you live, this is your new life. You know, you do this every day. And that's what I did. I just stayed at it.

I stayed at it. I stayed at it. I stayed at it. I stayed at it. I stayed at it every day. Horrible mics, there's five people in there. Sometimes they'll be my favorite mics. I still go to the mics. I'll go from a show at the mothership and go to the creaking cave at midnight

just to see if this new material work. Cause I'm not gonna do it at the mothership yet. So it's like just going, just go and go and go and go and go and it's just everything been falling into place. This ain't no process that's happened overnight. I'm at eight years. But I always knew this was gonna happen. I don't know if it sound arrogant or how it sounds,

but in my brain when I tell myself I'm gonna do something, it ain't no maybes, it ain't none of that. I don't use those with that verbiage. You wouldn't have got on the first mic if you didn't see yourself doing it. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I was drinking. Like I don't drink anymore.

You know, it's been like almost 18 months now. So, you know, I just, when I went back home and I was kind of still like, hey, I'm happy. Like I was on Kill Tony, y'all, everybody know who I am. And I was like, man, lock in, it's time to go. This is gonna be the next step where your mama ain't gotta work no more. You know what I mean?

Lock in, it's time to go. Forget all that drinking and all that nonsense that, cause I just work at hospitality, so it was second nature to drink, you know? Yeah, I had a drinking problem though. I was like real high-gold. Real, yeah, like a real one. I waited tables for a long time.

I worked in like construction type joint. I used to drive, deliver drywall, operate heavy machinery, all kinds of stuff. Just like a normal dude. Yeah, yeah. So what was the key to sobriety? All kinds of stuff, just like a normal dude. Yeah, yeah. So what was the key to sobriety? And then the important part, the key to maintaining it, because you live in a world where that's what's going on.

You work in an environment where they're giving you the vice right in front of you. I really don't live in this world, though, mentally. I'm usually not even here. I could be in the same room with someone and not know nothing about what's going on. I'd be so much inside of my mind, you know? But on the next step, you know what I mean? That's just how I operate.

I gotta be doing something towards my goal, you know? Cause ain't nobody gonna give it to you. So I'ma just go take it. That's how I do it. So for youa just go take it. That's how. So for you, it was literally, this is my goal. This is my mission. In order to get to where I'm trying to go, drinking has to stop.

That's pretty much not worse. It's always been fun in my life until it got to the point where it's like, now this is in front of you. And you know this will ruin you. Cause you gotta do this all the time. You gotta always be thinking about it. It's gonna be people that come at you on the internet. It's gonna be people that like, just try to,

like you gotta have the, you gotta have the sense to know, all right, let me just leave this situation alone. Because if you drinking, you might flip out on somebody. What if you beat somebody up? Now you don't, nobody wanna work with you. And I'm not, when I was drinking, I might flip out on somebody. What if you beat somebody up, now you don't, nobody wanna work with you. And I'm not, when I was drinking, I wasn't an angry drunk. I was probably like the happiest guy in the world. But at the same time, it wasn't fulfilling to 100%

to get where I needed to be mentally. So whatever that was, I had to cut it out. Like I woke up July 5th, woke up July 5th and I said, I ain't drinking no more. Cause I got free of the junk on the fourth. So I said, you knowth and I said, I ain't drinking no more. Because I got pretty drunk on the 4th. So I said, you know what? I'm done. I didn't necessarily have like the shakes and all of that, but in the back of my mind

subliminally I was like, I mean subconsciously I was like, all right, you know you can't drink. And then my everyday process is, okay, let me get a drink. So I would have to say, no, what are you doing? You know what I mean? Because consciously that's just what I did. Yeah, yeah. And what I'm hearing David is you saying,

you also realized you were becoming a brand, right? A lot of people think that a brand is a logo, right? No, no, no, no. In 2024, 2025, you are a brand. Yeah. And everything around your brand, especially again, your own national stages, right? Cameras everywhere.

Everybody in the audience has a cell phone now. Everybody on the sidewalk has a cell phone. People in the car beside you got a phone. That phone is 24 seven live media now. People, you got to realize you got a phone. That phone is 24 seven live media now. People, you got to realize you are a brand and you have mastered that David Jolly is a brand. What I like about it is especially being a part of the Kill Tony universe is I'm never worried

about getting counseled. Even most of my subject matter is like, it's not counselable. It's just from a different point of view. Like I got all kinds of jokes. I got, I need to, I got everything you name, but you can't be offended by it. Like I got a trans joke where like I tell,

and if it's homosexual people, it's been a trans woman. She was like six, eight, 240 in Atlanta. I'm on stage and I'm thinking to myself, if you think I'm not telling this trans joke, you out of your mind. And then she laughed at it hysterically and was like, man, that's a good joke. So I just want to be that person that brings back real kindness.

Let people say what they want to say. How come most of the people offended, not even the people who we talking about? Bingo. I ain't seen not one Puerto Rican say nothing or question nothing when that situation happened with Tony. Not one, not one person. I mean, I don't really wanna make it a race issue.

You know, it's just, maybe it's just a cultural issue, but in that case, a race. Yeah, yeah, we care about everybody else and everybody else's feelings, right? Except we don't wanna come home and talk about the real. Like, black people, we wanna talk about everybody else, like jokes, or everybody else could get it. Let one white dude say, you ate some fried chicken.

Oh, you raised this. No, that's prejudice. It's a big reverend. Amen. But it's a stereotype that we use to make jokes about other people. But we might be worse than Jewish people. In the tip of like, black, you can't say nothing about us. But we can say everything about everybody else. I don't care about no jokes. If it's funny, if it ain't funny, I ain't gonna laugh. If it's funny, I'm allowed.

everybody else. I don't care about no jokes. If it's funny, if it ain't funny, I ain't gonna laugh. If it's funny, I'ma laugh. Agree. But we always got a defense mechanism up. Like everybody's against us, unless we with our own people. Yeah.

And I'd say even other races the same way, right? I think the world to your point needs to understand the difference between what's prejudice, what's exactly. We need to bring back Archie Bunker and George Jeffs. We need to do like that right now so we can realize like, hey man, my dad said something like this, he don't mean nothing but Archie Bunker was just dumb.

George Jeffs was just dumb. But that's the way that America thought. But we was okay with that because this is, we still gotta live together. And you're always gonna have extremes, right? You're always gonna have that extreme that, yeah, they do hate insert whatever the race is. They do hate insert whatever the gender or non-gender is.

You have the extremists, but that's the minority, right? Like that really is the minority. That hate came from a not knowing. It came from the same thing. Like I'm 43 years old. You gotta do this. If I never did that, I would have been started this journey way earlier.

But the thing is, if I would have started it earlier, I would have died. Cause I'm pretty sure I would have got really, really famous and got, and just did something. That would be my norm to be that way, you know? To just be like, no understanding, like I'm 30 years old, I got a couple hundred million dollars, you know? I knew this process had to happen, but it happened when it needed to happen.

You know what I mean? Because you know, our parents told us, go to school, get a good job. And I could never really work for nobody. I'd be working for somebody and it'll go on for a while. And as soon as they get comfortable where they think they're going to say whatever they want to. I've never had a boss in my life. You know what I mean?

I've worked for companies, but anytime you even insinuate that you've got some type of boss complex, I'm going gonna straighten you right there. First of all, I don't have a boss. Second of all, I work for this company and your title is this for this company, right? So you work for them too, right? Like, people hated me, man. It was just, everything had to happen how it had to happen because I know I can't work for nobody.

I wake up and... ...bless you up until you don't talk to me no more. I might be... Oh, I can't work for nobody. I'll wake up and- Yup. And push you out, until you don't talk to me no more. I might be, oh, I ain't sure. I love it, man. So, you got into the comedy game, and one of the questions I wanted to ask you specifically,

again, the genus of David Jolley, from telling a joke to actually writing a bit, right? Like, what was that transformation like from just, again, we're at the cookout, everybody can be funny and tell a joke, but when you gotta be on stage for 10, 15, 30 minutes, when you're David Jolly doing 45 in an hour, like, you gotta be able to write a little

bit too and connect the dots. What was that journey and transformation like for you? It wasn't ever hard because I got a buddy of mine named Karma Rolone that gave me this book called The Comedy Bible. So I mean like premise set up punch line. I keep that in my mind, but a lot of the times I don't even write like that. That's just a basic formula to go off of. I'm writing like a computer. I need some type of formula. Sometimes I could come with nothing. Sometimes I might just say something funny and I just take it to the stage and I riff

on it a little bit. Then I try to build a structure off of that. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I just write out a whole joke word for word, and I cut out like 80% of it, and that actually works, you know? Yeah. I mean, but everybody has their own style of writing, and you know what I mean?

Like the more and more, the blessing that I've had since being in Austin is getting to be around comics that have been successful on this level for so much time and just the genuine love for comedy and just good people that they are. You know, the good people that they are, they'll be like, hey man, you know,

you ever talk about this? Or like, if you got any questions or, hey, let's go on the road like that. Like, when Cam started doing comedy, because you know I'm his mentor, you know I really don't help people that because I don't ever want to take away from it shine, but when he started doing it and the drive that he had that brought back another level of hungry for me. Like I was like okay let's go. You know what I mean? Because it was just like it was back because most of the people in Orlando you know know, they just, they hobbyists, you know?

Yeah. They're competing with each other. I'm not competing with nobody, but yesterday, me. You know what I mean? Yes, sir. We all on the same team. I'm competing with you. What am I competing with you for?

You know what I mean? Like you in the same place. I mean, why would I compete with you when you could tell me nothing about the next level? That's it. You know, you know, I mean? Like you in the same place, I mean, why would I compete with you when you could tell me nothing about the next level? That's it. You know, I mean, it all depends on like the seriousness. What are you seeing something? Like it's, I wouldn't go and start playing

semi-pro football because I don't think I could do it. You know, and I don't love football that much. You know what I'm saying? He's just, focus, man, focus, lock in, focus, focus, focus. That's what can take you so far in life. I'm not mad at the things as like the way I was raised and the way our elders told us how we should go about the next level, even though I wish I knew

a little bit about this here and stuff that I'm finding out about now as to why this guy never worked in his life because he worked for himself. You know what I mean? So, you know, it is what it is. No, no. So you mastered the storytelling and then that led you to the world that you're in now. And I know the story of David Jolly isn't even done, right? Because we're about to see so many amazing things that are happening. I'm putting it in the universe because I believe in you that much, man.

Getting to kill Tony, how did that happen? Well, Cam got pulled out of the bucket, you know? He got pulled out of the bucket and then just everything just went crazy. So I went back to Orlando and when I came back, because I was coming back to do spots at the mothership because I was like in a... Adam Egan was like, hey man, whenever you in town, come and do spots. So I was flying back like once a month, sometimes twice a month.

The only reason why I was still in Orlando is because I had a lease and my son hadn't graduated from high school yet. So as soon as he graduated, I was gone, you know? So like, what was the question again? Kill Tony. Yeah, getting the Kill Tony. It was great, man. Like everybody in there is just good people.

Like just the Man We Cam and then it like, I just got an opportunity. That's what I'm gonna say. I ain't gonna get too much in there, you know, but it was great. The opportunity that was presented to myself, I just did what I had to do. Love it. You love it.

It's great, man. Like if there's any comics watching this, I tell you, come to Austin. Get away from your local scene because that same guy has been doing that same thing for 25 years. If there's any comics watching this, I tell you, come to Austin, get away from your local scene because that same guy has been doing that same thing for 25 years. He may want you to succeed, he may not want you to succeed.

Some people just get to a point where they've been doing it so long, they're just angry. And you gotta get away from them people because they don't have no vision no more, they're just ready to die. They're just going about their pace of day by day or just day by day. So if you know you can make it, get away from your hometown. And it's not knocking your hometown because the people in Orlando love me. I'm born and raised there. I lived in Tampa for a

while, Tallahassee, but I'm a Florida boy. The people in my city love me, but it's the people that's in your same profession that say that they love you, but then they really don't show it. I'm not mad at them. I never, it might sound crazy, but even when I first started, I was looking past Orlando. I never even felt like I was a local comic.

I never felt like, I mean, I have no beef with nobody. I'm cool with everybody, but I just didn't wanna follow y'all rules. I'm gonna do it my way. Cause I- A unique one of one. Yeah.

I had like a little traction going on, building followers, doing these fluid videos that were like, I know you fucked a lot. And it'd be like a crazy motherfucker. And it'd be me talking about them. So those were going viral, but then once this Austin situation turned out, and it just, it's getting crazy, but in a good way.

So let's go back to that viral moment, right? I teased it in the opener with the hashtag, how did you come up with that freaking concept, dude? And now you're seeing other people starting to do the style that you did, right? Because nobody was doing the videos the way that you were. Now it's become a thing, right? You mean with the, I know you fucking lying.

Well, I used to make them now and I don't ever say nothing. I just, whatever. You know, like how you used to be like some crazy stuff and then it'll cut away and then it'll be me like, I know you fucking lying, look at this. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

I just had to find something that would work because I know just the old school way of moving to New York and moving to LA and then you gotta meet these people. I wanna go around everybody. I don't wanna have to, I'm gonna do the work. The work is gonna speak for itself, but I don't want how you feel about me to dictate my career.

Yeah, no, I'll say it differently. You wanted to work, you just didn't have to stand in line. You have to stand in line. This is like, somebody don't like me and then they like, they try to push somebody back. Like I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen in comedy scenes where one person don't like this person

and they'll just brush you off, you know? And it's like that person might not even bother nobody. They just don't like that they quiet. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. But the hashtag and the video viral is crazy.

Still some of my favorite things today. I'll go back and watch something you did eight, nine months ago because it's still relevant now, man. Like, again. Oh, you're talking about the first time I got on Kill Tawny, that was- Yeah. I think I only watched that like one time.

I couldn't watch it. It was too cringe for me. It was just, it was too much, you know? I mean, because that wasn't me. I mean, it was me at the time, and I'm a very fun outgoing guy. Anybody know that I say whatever, I don't really care about your feelings, you know?

Cause you forced me to this point. But that was just real. I was sloppy drunk that day. I was sloppy. I was sloppy. I was sloppy. I was sloppy. I was sloppy. I was sloppy.

I was sloppy. I was sloppy. But still funny. You were still you. You were still you. I'll give you that. Yeah. I actually fell asleep next door. And they were like, well, Charlie, well, Charlie,

I'm at the bar, ma. They woke me up. I'm running in the rain, like really stumbling in the rain, not really running, but you know, then the rest was history. They say, you're on, and my brain just say, show time. Show time. Yes, sir. So, hey, man, like you say, show time. Show time. Yes, sir.

So, hey man, like you blessed us with time. I know you're busy. I wanna go rapid fire with David Jolly. The show. All right, so from Orlando, what's your favorite restaurant food spot in Orlando? Oh, that's a good question. Flavors.

My boy, Jared Noah's got a company called Flavors. Yeah, I love him. Oh, you know about Flavors? Yeah. Oh yeah, he cook it all, man. Good food, real good food. Yep, yep. Your favorite sports team, professional or college?

Like who was David's team? Orlando Magic. And the tell, no, no, I said sports team, not JV Basketball. Who's your favorite? Hey, it's for you and, no, I said sports team, not JV basketball. Hey, it's for you and the Charlotte Harness. Fuck the Charlotte Harness. Hey, ours record better than y'all, y'all trash.

You a Harness man or you a Laker? No, I'm a Laker fan, but. I knew it, I knew it. You know, well, we better than the Lakers too, y'all cheers. Okay, this year, right now, right now, I can't even argue with you, I gotta give it to you. I mean, but I respect LeBron, I'm a LeBron fan,

I like the fact that he carry himself as a man, everybody hate him and he don't have any scandals, he don't have nothing. You don't even have a reason to not like the man, but that come with fame, so whatever. Yeah, no, I'm there. Jordan's my goat though. Jordan and Kenny Anderson are my guys.
