I've always said that when, uh, and this isn't a, uh, a Keith bombing story about any stretch at all, but when we met me and Keith met, it was at the airport on the way to do a gig
Starting point is 00:06:19 that Michael Blackson. Yeah. I was, I stopped doing cut-co knives that day. I was like, well, I guess I'm gonna miss the third day of cut-co training. And I got on, I met Keith and Keith, he'd seen me at the cellar before. I didn't know Keith at all.
Starting point is 00:06:35 And I opened for him on this show. And Keith, it was great. There wasn't a Keith in too great. But I had those people falling out of their chair because I took my clothes off. And away about it. No, it wasn't better. It was just a dip.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I'm taking my clothes off. Keith's doing bits. Like he's like doing comedy. I was, but I was in those times you couldn't tell me anything because as Keith's going, he's sitting down. He's trying to give me advice. He's like, hey, you got to come to New York and you got to blah, blah, blah. And he's like, you know, you're working.
Starting point is 00:07:04 He even goes, he goes, the stuff was like to take it off the pants. Like, hey, it's funny come to New York and you got to blah, blah, blah. And he's like, you know, you're working, he even goes, he goes, the stuff was like, taking off the pants like, hey, it's funny, but anyone can do it. And he's doing the whole thing. And I'm like, and as he's talking to me constantly, morbidly obese black woman are like, hmm, can we take a picture with you? And I'm, excuse me, Keith is it? Excuse me. I got to go over and take a picture in front of like an airbrush, two-pock backdrop
Starting point is 00:07:23 or something. And then I keep coming back over to Keith and I'm like, well you say it again? And I went outside to shit talk Keith to Kev. I called Kev and I go, this dude's in there telling me I gotta stop doing this. We should go to New York and he goes, oh yeah, no, I talked to him too. I think he's like legit like in the scene. I was like, it was a fettin' fall. I really should keep like in the beginning. I was like, it was a fed up fall. I really keep like in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I was like, this guy's in there saying he doesn't even, I just took, he didn't take pictures with more than four more but Leo piece black women. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And then came up black. That was my black game. Dude, what a rude awakening though. And I came to New York.
Starting point is 00:08:00 That's what was the funniest, because Kurt was, Kurt was being Kurt Metzger in black rooms and doing okay to find to terrible, whatever it would be. I learned how to do really a kill in those rooms. And then Keith Bros. writes in New York and I'm going on two in the morning at the Boston Comedy Club for four French people and a disinterest of couple.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And I'm going like, P Diddy's crazy, huh? P Diddy, man, that guy, that guy will be on any song. P diddy. You can't even take it close off because it's just weird and perverted. He's already said don't. Not a crowd. It's just four people in your naked.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I would have, I absolutely would. But I was, I don't know if I ever told, Keith, I don't know if you even know this one. So when you said that, just stopped, you know, like, as the clicking your clothes off, not really doing stand-up comedy, I took that soda heart, but I was so used to going at very least
Starting point is 00:08:53 on Thursday nights at the laugh house. I mean, I took my club, Pete, nobody wanted to go after that, because it would destroy. So hard. And then when Keith told me to stop doing it, I um, I was like, yeah, it's because it's not real comedy. But I was like, I need something big because like I like getting off stage to that. So funny how I don't know how to close
Starting point is 00:09:14 comedy shows now. I'm just like, so you guys are awesome, man. Thanks. But at that time, it was like, you need that explosion and be like, oh, big J fucking good night. I hate, I hate ending the shows now too, because I fucking end them at the wrong. I'm like, you need that explosion and be like, I'm a big J, fucking good night. I hate ending the shows now too, because I fucking end them at the wrong. I'm like, I get the laugh and then I go one more. Me too, I enjoy it myself and I'm like, I'm like, cry. And then I go one more. That's it, I guess.
Starting point is 00:09:38 And then I go, the other night I just went, hey guys, good, good to be here. And then they were looking at me like is that it I was like fucking by. Yeah, it's fucking I suck. I have no idea. I fucked up. I ended the wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I did baseball stadiums with bird all summer even when I'm done I say my last joke when I could it gets a good laugh and you can go hey you guys been amazing they laugh and I go. Can I do? No, there's not really time. Hey guys, thank you so much for it. It's just like a real genuine. I'm comfortable endings, but I used to but I used to
Starting point is 00:10:08 Want to get that big explosion and I didn't think my jokes were that good. Yeah, I kind of knew that and I remember this is the one day I wore keep wasn't there for this, but I I wore a string. I told you this probably I think around my neck and But I wore a string, I told you this probably, I think, around my neck and taped it right above my nips. I taped it there with extra string on either side. So in my bag, I brought two giant tin foil rings, huge. And right before I went on stage, I tied the rings to the string. So it looks like the joke is there obviously like 12 inch big nipple rings
Starting point is 00:10:46 would be the joke. I didn't have a joke. I just did my, I did my whole set standing like this. So I hoping nobody would see these rings. Just so at the end of the set I can go, guys real quick, before I get out of here, I got some new piercings. Tell me if they're too much and I just lifted this shirt in there. He was always one day. I dude, I had to, I don't know why I was so afraid. And then when I brought back the getting undressed thing to go against to rain of contests, it was in front of not the hip hop crowd, black crowd.
