Starting point is 00:03:09 He just does. Let's get this party started. Thank you. Joe Coy is here. Yes. You do look suspicious, though. No, I don't look suspicious. You look kind of undercover.
Starting point is 00:03:18 This is what you do. I've never seen you in Prada, Joe Coy, ever. I always rock Prada. Really? Every single special, I'm rocking Prada. Oh, I never noticed. I guess I Prada. Really? Every single special, I'm rocking Prada. Oh, I never know. They've never seen your special. They've never seen your special.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I have watched Jokoy's special. That was good. You probably haven't. Have you? Yes. What are you laughing at? Because you do this. You do this thing where you lie with confidence.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I am not a liar, Jokoy. Huh? Quiz him. Okay. No, because if I quiz him, then it's going to look really bad. Then he's going to admit to it. I'd rather just let him say he's seen it. I have seen Jokoy's specials.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Okay, what is a tabo? What is a tabo? It's something Filipino. I know that much. That don't mean anything. This is a tabo. Yeah, that's a tabo. He's not going to get it.
Starting point is 00:04:01 But it is Filipino. Because you didn't see it. It's Filipino for cup. I hate you so much. It's not? No, it's not going to get it. But it is Filipino. Because you didn't see it. It's Filipino for cup. I hate you so much. It's not? No, it's not. Oh, I don't know. It is something Filipino.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Can you just watch it? I have watched it. You haven't watched it. It came out last night. No, it didn't. Oh, no, you didn't say the one last night. You said a special. You didn't say which one.
Starting point is 00:04:22 It's his fourth one. This is going bad. No, he didn't say which one. Can you watch fourth one. This is going bad. No, he didn't say which one. Can you watch my new special, please? I will watch your new special. I've watched them before, but I haven't seen the new one. I love you, Charlamagne. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:32 So you love him back. I text Joe Coyne and tell him I love him for no reason. That is kind of messed up when someone says I love you and you say yes. Yes. What is that? You didn't even say I love you. All right, tell me again. Tell me again.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But now it's not the same. Tell me again. Tell me again. No, I wouldn't do it. I love you, DJ even say I love you back. All right, tell me again. Tell me again. But now it's not the same. No, tell me again. Tell me again. Tell me again. No, I wouldn't do it. I love you, DJ MV. I love you. See how natural?
Starting point is 00:04:49 You didn't say it to him. You said it to him, not me. Say it to me. Love you, Angela. Thank you. Aw. What? Give me another chance.
Starting point is 00:04:57 No. I love you so much. K. No. No, man. Why don't we go? How was everything, brother? Everything's good.
Starting point is 00:05:07 This has been the best run ever. I'm living a dream right now. You're making a lot of money, Jokoy. Man. You are making a lot of money. That's what the measurement is. Of course you're funny, but you're making a lot of money, Jokoy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:23 That crowd looked amazing for you to be in the forum like that and to see how many people fit in there. That was 14,000, but I did two shows. Okay. I did four total. I did four. I did four.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I did four shows. So that's 56,000 people. Yeah. Wow, that's a lot of people. So you gotta be top five stand-up touring comic right now, right? It's pretty crazy. I can't,
Starting point is 00:05:43 I'm not, you know, it's crazy to actually add another arena. Like, I just did it again. I sold out the Honda Center in Anaheim, so we added another Honda Center. It's like, it's crazy. I've been doing this.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I did two Chase Centers during the playoffs, so it was like Joe Coy, then the Warriors, then Joe Coy, then the Warriors on the same weekend. Wow. And it was like, and I get to enjoy this with my son. That's the best part. And we've seen the growth, though. That's the crazy thing.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Thank you. We've seen the growth from when you first came here to where you're at now. When you came to Caroline's. And you know who didn't come? These two. But where did I go? You did come. I'm not, you're right, you're right.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Yeah, don't play with me. Where did I come? You know what? You're right. I'm not even going to, you're right. Where did I come, Joe Coy. You're right. You're right. Don't play with me. Where did I come? You know what? You're right. I'm not even going to. You're right. Where did I come, Jokoy? It's this asshole right here.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Jokoy, I watched this. Ask him again, Chalamet. Wait, wait. Don't. Ask him again, Chalamet. I didn't even pick up on that until right now. Ask him again, Chalamet. Jokoy says asshole.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Where did I come, Jokoy? This asshole right here. Oh, damn it. I had no idea where that was. I was too busy being mad. Not knowing I'm being set up. I'm mad that you came back into the New York area and you put tickets on hold for me.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I apologize. My wife was supposed to come and we couldn't make it. That hurt. But he didn't even tell you he wasn't coming. I think that's so rude. Yeah, yeah. It was... Actually, this one did it too. So it was both of you. Angela showed up.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I showed up. You said you were going to go and this one said, I'm for sure coming. If I would have known that they weren't going to come because everybody wanted to go, but I didn't want to ask for more tickets. So I was like, alright, I'm not even going to ask. But if I would have known, I could have brought everybody with me. Angela had the best time of her life.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Something happened. I forgot what happened that weekend. Nothing. No, something did happen. Absolutely nothing happened. But you know, the special I saw, the one that came out last night, you started off by talking about the pandemic. I thought you said you didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Charlie, don't do this. Don't Google shit and then act like you got hard-hitting facts. I'm going to do something. This is a bullshit interview. Did you not start the special off talking about the pandemic, Joe Korn? Talking about starting off. The beginning of that special. I mean, the masks, right?
Starting point is 00:08:02 I mean, wow. Why don't you tell them, Joe? Tell them what you said. No, you tell me what I said, Charlamagne. What'd I say? You talked about the pandemic and how it was during quarantine. I can tell you, Joe Coy, what you said. You said, you know, your breath stinks from wearing a mask. Yes. And you didn't want said, you know, your breath stinks. Yes. From wearing a mask.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Yes. And you didn't want to judge people in the audience who were wearing masks. Yes. For doing that. You didn't want to pass judgment. No. See? But that they were going to get it no matter what.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah. Still. The thing is, here's the thing about that special. I had the deal before the pandemic, right? Mm-hmm. So I had the deal in place and then the pandemic hit, now everything's changing and we set it for the forum. It's 14,000 people that's gonna be taped
Starting point is 00:08:53 and now everyone's wearing masks. And literally I was about to cancel it. I was like, I don't wanna shoot a special where everyone's wearing a mask. Can't see the smiley. Yeah, like, you know, in 10 years, everyone's gonna be like, what don't want to shoot a special where everyone's wearing a mask. It's not going to smile at me. Yeah. Like, you know, in 10 years, everyone's going to be like, what kind of special is this? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So I was so nervous. I was this close. And then we heard a rumor that LA was about to lift the band. Everyone else was lifting it except for LA. And it was the day before I had to tape that they lifted it. And that's why I was able to do the special, even though some people were wearing a mask. But I was like, I have to talk about this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm not going to not talk about it. It was a part of our lives for two years, basically. And it's like, I know it sucked that it was a topic that everyone was touching. But it was like, I can't do a special at that size and not at least touch on it. Yeah, because it is a timely thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You know, and so people will look back at that. Yeah. Like five years from now and be like, oh, that's right. Remember when we had to have on masks? Yeah. I just wonder if there's any new stories to be told from that time, though. No, I think it's done. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:02 But I had to do it, Charlamagne. You know what I mean? Like, it was literally like, it was about to cancel my show. And as a guy that's producing his own show, that was going to cost me a ton of money. And I was literally not even thinking about my routine anymore. I was thinking about how much this is going to cost me again. The business side.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Business side. Dubai, I was scheduled to play Dubai three times. And all of it got canceled because of COVID. Dang. And I walked out with, you know, basically not making the money I should have made, but also losing fans in return because now they're scared. It's like I canceled, they returned the tickets, then I announced I'm coming back, they buy the tickets,
Starting point is 00:10:40 and then I canceled again, they returned the tickets. And it's just like it was a, you know, we had to talk about it because it changed a lot of our lives. How was your pandemic? Because as a comedian, you know, you're used to being on the road. Yeah. Performing. Did that shut down?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah. And I think you'll probably agree with me that it was the greatest thing that ever happened for me and my son and my family. It really was. And not for everybody. And I know there's people that struggle. And I realize my son and my family. It really was. And not for everybody. And I know there's people that struggle, and I realize that. I get it.
Starting point is 00:11:10 But we were in a position where we could, and I took full advantage of it because I was such, I didn't realize how much I missed, man. I was so focused. I was tunnel vision. It was the first time I ever spent a birthday with my son. Yeah, I know. It's awful. The first time I ever spent a birthday with my son. Yeah, I know. It's awful.
Starting point is 00:11:28 The first time you ever spent a birthday with your son? Yeah, and I know that sounds... He's an adult! No, no, but he turned 16 during the pandemic. And, you know, I've been on the road since he was three. Wow. You know what I mean? So it's like... You can't say don't schedule
Starting point is 00:11:43 anything on his day? I mean, but when you're so hyper focused and you struggle for so long and now you're getting this opportunity to provide for everyone like not me like I can care less about me like I'm providing for my family I got my sister
Starting point is 00:12:00 working for me I got my mom I gotta take care of I got family in the Philippines that I take care of like it's not family in the philippines that i take care of like it's not just me you don't want to miss your moment is what you say no i don't and and i want to get that bag that is a hard thing because even in okay so you have the movie easter sunday yes yeah and that's how it kind of starts with you supposed to be at something for your son at school yes and that's basically he's usually not making it yeah exactly and that's that's where that story came from it's like when that pandemic and i'm with my son you know doing this birthday with
Starting point is 00:12:33 my son and i was just like man i miss these and there was christmases that i missed man like you know i would we would open the gifts up on christmas day and then at five i'm going to a club because they're paying me extra money for for the christmas day and then at five i'm going to a club because they're paying me extra money for for the christmas show and it's like that money back that you spent on christmas so do you think that moving forward you think that moving forward maybe you'll say at least my son's birthday from now on did the pandemic make you feel like some moments now because you are very successful now yeah well my son's on tour with me now right he works for me and it's it's been a joy but what i love the most is that my son finally realizes what this was all about you know like my son saw
Starting point is 00:13:11 Netflix say no to me you know I mean my son saw me pay for that special when they said no to me anyway Or when I had all the cameras inside The theater and I was about to film it and we get a phone call from Netflix going Hey, we heard you're going to shoot this special anyways. We want you to know that we really don't want it. Like, yeah. They called you and said that? Yeah, they called my manager and everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:33 We know you're shooting it. Don't shoot it for us. We're not taking it. Whatever you're doing, don't think it's coming in. But you know what? It's crazy that you guys laugh and I get it, right? But just imagine like being 27 years in the game, and people that I took on the road that were opening for me getting Netflix specials, and I'm not getting one.
Starting point is 00:13:53 What's that mean, Joe? No, no, it's not that. No, no, no. I hear what you're saying. It is a business, and they have to make their calls, right? But I didn't understand because my numbers were crushing on the road I was doing huge numbers like I knew my value was worth something on that on that on that platform like I'm doing a hundred sold-out shows it just one city alone you know me at an improv like and then
Starting point is 00:14:19 and these are all all over the country so you don't think we didn't need Netflix's validation? I get that. But it's like, I knew that was the platform that was going to take me to the next level. And I knew they were in the position of power to give me that. But they weren't going to give me the opportunity to put my special on. And I don't hate Netflix for it. It's a business decision that they made. I just had to prove to them that they needed this special. Why would they say no with those numbers? I don't hate Netflix for it. It's a business decision that they made. I just had to prove to them that they needed this special.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Why would they say no with those numbers? I don't understand. I didn't understand either. It just wasn't his time. No, Charlamagne. It just wasn't your time. Well, you can say that, but no, it's not that. It was more than that.
Starting point is 00:14:59 You know, there's more. Was it racism? I mean, I'm not, whatever the fact is, like you can only say his voice is too specific for so long without you getting offended by that. What was the turning point? The turning point was me shooting it myself, cutting it myself, and then bringing it to him and going, Hey, look. Watch it, please. I know you said no, just watch it.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Please like me. Not even please like me. Watch it. And when they watch it, they realize, yeah, this needs to be on our platform. Did it turn you off, though, from wanting to be on Netflix? Because that's interesting to me that they told you, even though you had the numbers, you knew you were crushing it,
Starting point is 00:15:37 you went and filmed it yourself, even though you were filming it and they told you, we don't want it, but yet you still knew that was the particular platform. Even though there's other platforms. There were none at that time. I mean, not at that time. Not doing what they were doing for stand-up comedy at that time. And at that time, that was when they made this push
Starting point is 00:15:55 for original stand-up specials. So they went after Rock, they went after Chappelle, they went after all these guys to come out of retirement and do a new special. Who all talk to a very specific audience, too, by the way. Exactly. But, okay, but that's the thing about Hollywood, Charlemagne. It's like there's only two specific audiences that are allowed to be heard.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Black and white. Black and white. And not all white. Like, you know, I do a joke on my special. It's not even a joke. I just say it's like I don't know the difference Between Jeff Foxworthy's accent And my mom's accent They're both American
Starting point is 00:16:27 And they both speak English But for some reason No one wants to hear my mom's I don't hear a difference Between my mom going Does your mom have jokes? I don't see the difference Between my mom going
Starting point is 00:16:37 What would you like for breakfast? Or Jeff Foxworthy going Hey, what would you like for breakfast? I don't understand What do you mean by the specificness? I don't get it. I will say this, though. When you first came up here a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:16:49 I didn't know who you were. I did. See? I heard the name, but I didn't know who you were. It's nice to watch Chelsea all the time. Thank you. I never did. But when you came on The Breakfast Club,
Starting point is 00:16:57 it made me like you as a person. Thank you. And that's what made me say, you know what? I'm going to go to his comedy show. Let's see if he's good. And then when I went to the comedy show, I'm like, he's hilarious. That's what made me support you. So, you know, a lot of people might not have known who you were at first.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And I also disagree that Netflix is what took you to the next level. I think it was the people because it was it was this moment where you just kept hearing everybody talking about Joe Coy. Like it didn't matter. Black people, white people, of course, Filipinos. But everybody was talking about Joe Coy. And you could see it. You started to grow. Same thing with somebody like an Andrew Schultz. It's the people that put you in that position.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Even Kevin. When we seen Kevin. Same thing with Kevin. Exactly. Absolutely. The people, 13 years ago, it was the people that got Kevin to where he is. And both examples, we both went to, we went to Kev's show at Caroline's. Caroline.
Starting point is 00:17:41 And we went to your show at Caroline's. And we seen the growth. That's why it's so good to see you guys do so well cuz y'all are good people There's a lot of people that come up here that assholes, but y'all are good people. Oh, thank you Charlie man, I was still like I get what you're saying, right? But like if you could just understand the frustration, you know, I mean like the opportunities not there for everybody No, you are. I'm not laughing at you. What is wrong with you, man? I'm being serious.
Starting point is 00:18:06 He's rich now. It don't matter. You can laugh at him. No, but it's not. But there was a struggle to it, Charlamagne. I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:18:12 If you could just understand, like, it's... It is... You say it all the time. We all don't get heard, and it's frustrating. I don't want you feeling like that because of these corporations
Starting point is 00:18:23 like Netflix. That's my only... I understand that. But it does take a lot of humility to still say, even after all of that, I know how important this platform is. And I want to make sure. And I'm still going to film it myself. The minute it hit Netflix, my calendar year, I'm talking Charlamagne, the minute it it went live my calendar for that whole year that I already had on sale
Starting point is 00:18:47 completely sold out and then we put Hawaii on sale and this is why I shot my second special in Hawaii we put Hawaii on sale because we were like okay the most I've ever sold in Hawaii was one theater just one like 2000 seats I go let's do an early show
Starting point is 00:19:04 and have enough uh space to add a second if it sells out the first show goes on sale this is after the special drop it sells out like like literally like 30 seconds i'm not even joking when i say this so we add the second show that that sold out in like 30 seconds again it literally was just like it was crazy so then the venue call was like do you want to add more shows i'm like yes we added. It literally was just like, it was crazy. So then the venue call was like, do you want to add more shows? I'm like, yes, we added a third. Sold out just like that. 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th.
Starting point is 00:19:31 They were talking about me on the news. Computers were crashing. They had news reporters at the venue showing people running to the venue to buy tickets. And then I ended up breaking Mariah Carey's record. It was like she had 23,000 tickets sold. I sold 24,005. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And that's what I'm talking about, Charlamagne. That was the platform that gave me that. That was the one that let my voice be heard on a bigger scale. And that's how Steven Spielberg actually saw you was on Netflix. And became a fan. And then you ended up working with him. Yeah. It was from my second special, Coming in Hot.
Starting point is 00:20:07 And we get a phone call from Amblin and Literally we go. I thought it was just gonna be a general meeting I walk in and it literally every other person's like Steven's your biggest fan Steven loves you Steven this Steven that and I'm thinking like you mean Steven from accounting. Is there a Filipino that works here? Is there a Filipino that's like, you need to watch Djoko, he's hilarious. And then I asked him, and they were like, no, it's Mr. Spielberg, and he wants to make a movie with you. The power that Steven has, man, because I pitched that movie in the room,
Starting point is 00:20:36 he bought it in the room, and next thing you know, like seven months later, we're shooting that movie. Give him a round of applause. I'm happy Netflix finally got a fucking clue. And you know what, by the way, I'm happy Netflix finally got a fucking clue. And you know what? By the way. I'm happy they finally got a clue.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And it actually worked out better for you because probably producing it yourself, you make way more money and have a lot more leverage. Well, I think everyone should do that. You know, like, you know, Kevin does it. And, you know, people should. Andrew's beautiful. Like, I love Andrew. And what I love the most about Andrew, and I told Andrew this, is there's a lot of comics in this game that blow up and they're in a position where they can help, you know what I mean? Or at least scout. And they know how hard it is to get in.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And a lot of people that make it like to kind of put the door back to the closed position. And there's a few that like to help. to kind of put the door back to the closed position. And there's a few that like to help. And I only know Andrew through you. And I saw Andrew at Gotham one time. And this is before he blew up. And I remember when I saw him, I walked up to him and I hugged him. And I was like, dude, you're incredible. Who are you?
Starting point is 00:21:42 I love you. And I said that to him because he clearly was just incredible and um and I noticed that as he was blowing up he was taking his crew with him and he always shouts out his crew he produces specials for his crew and and he only puts up talent you know what I mean like he's not afraid and that's how you need to be in this business like you know like just because this guy's funny or whatever, don't be scared to follow him. I got that from Cedric the Entertainer, man. It's like Cedric.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I remember crushing in front of Cedric. Crushed in my head. I'm like, there's no way Cedric can follow me. There's no way tonight. Cedric's going to retire tonight. And I remember walking off stage and he was standing there on the side of the stage bouncing. He's like, that's what I'm talking about. Make me work for my money, Joe Coy.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And he walked out on stage and literally in like 30. Make me work for my money, Joe Coy. And he walked out on stage and literally in like 30 seconds, no one remembered who opened for Drew. No one remembered who went before Cedric. And that to me is what a headliner is. And that's why people like that are in the position that they're in. So yeah, that's what I love the most about Andrew.
Starting point is 00:22:45 It's just like watching this guy having doors closed and he opens them and then he keeps it open for other talent. The back wire representation is important to you even with the movie Easter Sunday. You guys said this is the first major studio film with an
Starting point is 00:23:00 all Filipino ensemble. All Asian. It's the first major studio. Really? Wait. Hold on. The first time. What about First major studio. So this is Universal and Amblin and DreamWorks. It's the first time ever that's been done. What about the movie with Awkwafina in it? That was a great Hollywood
Starting point is 00:23:18 movie, but this is the first time a major studio backed the movie where it's DreamWorks and Universal okay doing it yeah Oh crazy rich Asians wasn't I don't think I think it was independent but because I know before crazy rich Asians they always said don't question he's the first day yeah yeah yeah and was just, and by the way, Crazy Rich Asians was an amazing movie. I love that movie.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I love the way that movie starts where she buys the hotel. Everything, that whole movie. That's the kind of dream that you want to have when somebody's rude to you and then you're like,
Starting point is 00:23:54 let me make a call and buy this hotel. Yeah, and let me fire you that way. That movie is incredible. But yeah, it was just, that was just a great moment
Starting point is 00:24:04 and I was just so happy that that was actually happening. What I like about you is even though you didn't want to be with Netflix or even with Easter Sunday you still choose to focus so much on Filipino culture and I'm sure that when you do things like that people are like oh you should broaden
Starting point is 00:24:20 it out you should make it more broad for people what do you say when they say that to you? I can do any this is why it's so important for me. My mom's lived in this country since 1969, right? She's been here for 53 years. And she's American. She's a Filipino American.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And I talk about Filipinos being nurses. I have so many nurses in my family that live here. Right. And I know you've met them too. So just imagine them living here for 50 years, working at hospitals, 14 hour shifts. And then they go home and they turn on the TV and they watch a TV show about a hospital. And not one Filipino is on that show. Or they go to a movie and there's a hospital scene and they don't even see a Filipino extra in the emergency room.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And it makes them feel invisible. You feel like, oh, okay, I guess I ain't nothing. I guess I am just visiting. And that's what that is. So when people ask me, oh, you're going to tell another story about your mom? I'm going to do 53 years worth of stories on my mom. Because I'm the only one that's going to put those out there right now. So if I'm going to do a movie about a Filipino family,
Starting point is 00:25:27 yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Like this is for her and them. So that's what it's about. I can do all the other jokes. I post it all the time. I'll post my ad-libs. I'll do improv sets. I'll do all that.
Starting point is 00:25:40 But when it comes to like saying something from my heart, it's going gonna be about things I remember in your book you said that you started off not doing those types of jokes Yes, and then because I grew up in a time when you know, like, you know, it's like you had to be Mainstream I had to be mainstream and it's like once again, you're being too specific and like what is funny You know, I mean like i grew up in the 70s and 80s right so as a kid i'm watching cartoons that's depicting asians with slanted eyes and big goggles and buck teeth and we're supposed to laugh right like if i have my white
Starting point is 00:26:16 friend over watching a cartoon and that comes on right we all laugh together so that's normalized like so that to me of course you don't want to hear my story about my mom Divorcing my dad you just want me to do this this Asian character because that's what's accepted because the other one this story is too specific So yeah in the beginning of stand-up How am I supposed to get into the comedy clubs like I had to do those and don't get me wrong? It wasn't like a like I go. Oh, I supposed to get into the comedy clubs? Like I had to do those and don't get me wrong. It wasn't like a, like I go, Oh,
Starting point is 00:26:45 I have to do this. It was like, I was kind of like programmed that way as a child. I was programmed. Oh yeah. We make fun of Asians. That's what, that's it.
Starting point is 00:26:54 That's how I get accepted in this country. Let's make fun of Asians. Like, so yeah, like I remember this one time I told, I told this story in my book where my mom and dad are divorced. We just want to color TV and it's me and my whole family. Like it was me and my, my book where my mom and dad are divorced. We just want a color TV and it's me and my whole family. It was me
Starting point is 00:27:07 and my brother and my two sisters and my mom and we're filling out these raffle tickets. I think we sat there for like six hours filling out these raffle tickets at Sears or JCPenney, whatever it is. And we stuffed that little bin up with raffle tickets. And we win the TV. And people were
Starting point is 00:27:23 mad. Y'all cheated. People were mad. You damn right. And we win the TV. And people were mad. Y'all cheated. People were mad. You damn right. We go up the escalator to get it and there's this little white kid in front of my mom and my mom loves kids. Every time she sees a kid she goes crazy. And we're going up. We're going up and she goes, oh my god, hi,
Starting point is 00:27:39 you're so cute. What's your name? What's your name? And he turns around and he pulls his eyes back, right? It was like 1983, and he goes oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And I remember we were all just like It's not funny. It's not. But I remember just like. So why do you
Starting point is 00:27:55 make it a joke if it's not funny? It's not funny. I think you need to listen. It's not funny. Now he's telling a real story that happened in his book. This is why. I read the book. I heard the story. But I remember my mom not being able
Starting point is 00:28:10 to do anything. I remember my mom just clamming up and just going, it's okay, Joe. I knew she was obviously hurt. I was like 11 years old and just looking at my mom going, what was, I didn't even know how to react. Because I'd never seen anyone do something like that to my mom. Did you realize he was making fun of you? I knew he was making fun of her, but like, I've never seen anyone do something like that. Did you realize he was making fun of you? I knew it was I knew he was making fun of her but like I've never I was in shock like wait
Starting point is 00:28:29 Hold on. What's wait? Hold on. What's going on right now? Like something just happened really and and I knew my mom couldn't do anything because if my mom would have raised her voice and says Hey, you can't do that to me. Then she would have been the bad person because The parents would have been like hey, hey, he's just a kid. What are you yelling at that kid for, lady? If you had gotten to a karate stance, you'd have scared the shit out of him. This is what I'm talking about right now. This is why you should get canceled.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I'm about to cancel Charlamagne right now. You should have said a little cracker. You could have said something like that. That too? Yeah, but so as a kid, it had to hurt because all the jokes were about, a lot of the jokes were about Asians, especially in New York. It was Asians. Yes. It was Haitians. Yes. And
Starting point is 00:29:07 Africans. Yes. So you never just wanted to wow out back? I mean, how can you, though? How do you do that back then? Crack jokes. You're a comedian. No, man. Come on. Charlamagne, stop, bro. You're a comedian. Yeah, but no, man. When you see something like that,
Starting point is 00:29:23 that's not a joke anymore, man. But back then it was a joke. But back then it wasn't a joke, man. When it's coming out of hate and it's a white family doing that to an Asian family, that's not jokes, man. That's hate. I'm from the South, so growing up we'd call him Crackers, right? Cracker ass, Cracker. Yeah. But that's the thing. My dad would, you know, I went to an all-white school,
Starting point is 00:29:46 and we got the nigga jokes all the time, and that's what my dad would say. He'd call him Crack-Ass Cracker. And we would beat him up. And then he would, like, you know. Yes. Jump him, you know. We definitely used to do a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:29:56 And that's amazing you get to do that. Can't do that now. But back then, it was what it was. You can still do it. But you can still do that. No one's gotta find out But no it's not It was completely different
Starting point is 00:30:10 Especially for like Asian people I get it now Joe Coy I get why you are The way you are now Because you want to show people the representation That you didn't have when you was younger Yes That's why I latched on to black comedy so much like I don't like how you said
Starting point is 00:30:28 black but I'll say it harder if you want hard comedy because why am I like I felt like they were, I felt like when they spoke, I felt like they were talking about my family. Like when I hear Eddie Murphy do Uncle Gus making a fire, it was like, yeah, that's what broke people do. My uncle made a fire like that. You know what I mean? And I related when I saw, you know, a white family, even though I'm half white, I didn't relate to it.
Starting point is 00:31:06 My mom and dad divorced when I was like 10 and I was being raised by Filipinos man and I didn't see that side. Let me ask you a question. Did you consider yourself Asian? And the reason I ask this is, in New York going to school, Filipinos hung out with the black kids.
Starting point is 00:31:21 See how crazy this is? My sisters dated black guys. We just gravitated towards black kids. See how crazy this is? My sisters dated black guys. It was like we just gravitated towards black people. Stop saying black like that. I'm sorry. The blacks. We didn't understand.
Starting point is 00:31:33 We didn't look at Filipinos as Asians. I know. They sat at our table. They rode the bus with us. Me and Dre talk about this all the time. My sister's husband. And this is the one thing he said He's black black
Starting point is 00:31:47 He's black black Is that okay if I said it like that? He's like He's black black Go ahead Go ahead Joe He's a He's a
Starting point is 00:31:57 Dick dick He's a dick dick But we This is what we talk about Like out of all When When This is what he said he goes like if you were to date any other ethnicity it would be a relationship of explaining well black people do this and you know black people like to eat this or black and and learning about each
Starting point is 00:32:20 other he goes with filipinos they just get it there's no explanation there's like this common thread even to down to the food it's almost like if you eat our food you're like oh yeah that's soul food too you you guys eat chitlins like my mom my my sister's like yeah we eat that too we don't eat chitlins no you get what i'm saying though we have you should have just said chicken i know chicken might be stereotyped just stop, just stop. You should have just said chicken. No, no, we have that too. You should have just said chicken. We have that too. And we have the same similarity.
Starting point is 00:32:51 The music, we get it. The dancing, we get it. Everything, it's just like we get it. For some reason, there's no explanation. You love our food. We love your food. It's like there's no explanation. And I didn't really
Starting point is 00:33:06 see it that way i just was like for some reason filipinos and black people get along really well but then after dre said that i was like yeah that is true there is no explanation truth be told most most minorities would get along if they just all uh tapped into the struggle of being a minority in this country because a lot of it is rooted in being poor yeah you said you talked about Eddie Murphy and you could relate to that and then to do it in being black it's like y'all you're poor so you understand that yeah you see it you see it through our food or everything you know and you see that entertainment it's strong with Filipinos because we couldn't afford to go the movies you know me we can't have to go to the movies you know what i mean we can't so you were the entertainment you know i mean you were the singer you that's why filipinos are
Starting point is 00:33:48 always singing it's like it's that that was our form of entertainment so yeah when did you in in chelsea decide to make it a thing go from friends to dating that was um it was it was it was when i asked her to do uh like just a little blurb for my book. And that's how our relationship kind of sparked again. We just realized like, oh, we like hanging out with each other. And we were just hanging out and hanging out. That must have been a hell of a blurb. You're so dumb.
Starting point is 00:34:18 You're so dumb. You're so dumb. I don't know why anyone gives you anything. I don't know why you get a show I don't know why you get side gigs You should have nothing Oh god I'm just saying Nothing
Starting point is 00:34:33 That must have been a hell of a blurb, Jokoy When I say I hate you I really, sincerely hate you No you don't No I don't I love you so much. I love everything about you. My son's upset that he wasn't here.
Starting point is 00:34:48 He wanted to meet you guys so bad. This would have been his first time. I think I met your son. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, I met your son. Yep, you did. But yeah, it started off with a blurb, and then she did that. And then it was just cool.
Starting point is 00:35:00 It was the pandemic. No, no, it wasn't that. No, because it didn't happen then. No, it didn't happen then. I mean, it's't that. No, because it didn't happen then. No, it didn't happen then. I mean, it's still a pandemic. No, it didn't happen then at all. It didn't. It didn't.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I'm just telling you the truth. I haven't said anything that hurtful to you the whole interview, Joe Coyle. You better shut up. You better shut up. No, it didn't happen during the pandemic. Everyone thinks that it happened. I was filming the movie the whole time, and she, she was, uh, she was out in Canada somewhere, uh, skiing.
Starting point is 00:35:26 So yeah. So it didn't happen during then. It was like, it was like after the pandemic. And then we, we, we just started hanging out and, uh, it was cool. It was really cool. Like she, she's, uh, she's amazing. She put a lot of people on, on the mat and she's another one that liked to open the door for people.
Starting point is 00:35:45 You know what I mean? Like she saw someone talented lot of people on the mat. And she's another one that liked to open the door for people. You know what I mean? She saw someone talented. You got on that panel. And that's why that show was so good. Because she realized her position. She knew that she had a platform, but she needed other people to help push that thing forward. That's why she had Kevin on. That's why she had me on.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Lonnie Love. She had Lonnie on. Those are beasts, bro. No one else would put those people on. But she did did you guys had the nicest breakup that I've ever seen Oh when y'all posted the video first, I thought it was a joke cuz you're all comedians. Yeah I'm done Charming stop okay. I didn't know I really didn't know. We're going to go to a break. And it's not going to be good. Are you kidding me? They both posted these amazing breakup videos. I really did not know.
Starting point is 00:36:30 And I was so disappointed. I left comments like, I can't believe this. Check them out. I don't be paying attention to the negative. I didn't know. I like that. I had no idea. I really didn't.
Starting point is 00:36:39 It doesn't have to be negative. I really didn't. To be honest with you, I didn't even pay attention when y'all was together. I was just like, oh, Joe and Chelsea's together. That's dope. But I didn't. I don't like how the words come out of your mouth sometimes. It comes out so natural, like conversational,
Starting point is 00:36:50 that I think in your head it's always geared to be an asshole. I'm not saying I didn't care. I just didn't care. No, you said you didn't care, and that's what it means. It means you don't care. It's like, Joe, it's like cool. Joe, I'm happy for him. But I didn't think nothing of it's not like I'm everyday Not people be like Pete Davidson Kim Kardashian. You're holding on to it every day and paying attention
Starting point is 00:37:11 I wasn't paying attention. Yeah, but I follow both of you So I'm with you guys post videos of each other doing together cook and then you guys And it was like the nicest like and that's why I didn't think Just turn Charlamagne's my off just just for like the next video i'm gonna tell you the videos of joe coy that come up in my feed when when you put post stuff from your specials and when you're doing stuff with your son so the other ones just don't come up i swear to god here's the thing about charlamagne here's the thing about charlamagne he will you hate him, and then somehow he makes you love him.

See, this is you and your son. No, that's not your son. No, I mean, we just realized that. No, that is your son. Hold on. Let me get to Charlamagne. He's got a separate interview going on right now. I'm sorry. No, no, no. It's the breakfast.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I totally forgot. This is the breakfast club and Charlamagne. So what is your question? No, I just broke your question. My point is I just wasn't paying attention. I like that. That's all. And I think a lot of people should be like that.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Like, you know what I mean? Don't pay attention to what you post. No, just don't. People don't get into. People do dive deep into like that kind of thing. Because you guys posted it. I know, but like the breakup. Like people got into it.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Like it was like almost annoying. It's like, you know, y'all did so many things together on vacation. Yeah. And cooking and Christmas. It was great. Yeah, it was fun. It's like, you know, y'all did so many things together on vacation. Yeah. And this and cooking and Christmas. It was, it was great. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:38:48 it was fun. It was fun. But I, it was just a, you know, we were, we're two different, she's going a different direction.
Starting point is 00:38:54 You know what I mean? Like she's got her career that's, that's taken off in mine. And it's just, the business is coming first and we realize that we're, we're just better off friends,
Starting point is 00:39:03 you know? So that's, it's all good. She's always going to be my friend. I'm always going to love her. And so, yeah. She's a great person. Does that affect your friendship now because y'all were dating?
Starting point is 00:39:15 It doesn't make it odd now? No. It's always going to be we're always going to joke around but it's just not going to be what it was. And that's good. I need to focus on this. This is what I've been wanting for so long, and it's finally here. So I'm going to focus on this.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Have you started dating again? No. Charlotte and Mary, I swear to God. Why do you? What did I do? You don't care about my relationships, and now you care? I know. A minute ago, he got the parents had to don't care.
Starting point is 00:39:47 So what? So if I get into a relationship, what? That's when you stop caring? That's when you stop following. But you want to know if I'm in a relationship. You're absolutely right. I am right. That's a very valid point.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Thank you. I thought that was a good follow-up question. No, it was a horrible one. It was a lazy one. He has no notes. I swear to God, you always look down at that, and there's nothing on there. But you have had an incredible past month

Starting point is 00:40:58 You're the fucking favorite. You're the fucking favorite. I'm so sick of you. I hate you so much. I hate him so much. I hate him so much, man. But I do have a question. What is wrong with public sneezing, Joe?
Starting point is 00:41:13 I'm done with you. I do have a question for the room. And this really does come from Joe Coy's new stand up. Yes. Oh, man. What is it? The question is, as a woman, you talk about eating toilet paper out of our bed. Oh, my God. Now we talking.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Now, look, now he's happy. Now there's a... Post about that. I know you talked about... I didn't know you were a foodie, Joe. I didn't know you were a foodie. I enjoy the same appetizer. You didn't say that was one of your favorite childhood snacks.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Who doesn't love clitty litter? When you was on Holden and Jenna, you didn't say that was one of your favorite childhood snacks, Joe. Is that a real thing? Because I was a little devastated. Is it true that every guy has eaten toilet paper out of our... You need to see it. You need to see it.
Starting point is 00:41:59 You can't tell the middle of it without setting it up, Angela. I've had that happen from the front. What? What? What? How did I know Charlamagne would have a story? It's not a story. I've just had that happen from the front. Somebody hit your butt from the front?
Starting point is 00:42:14 No. I'm saying you went down on a young woman. It was toilet paper? Yeah. So that happens to everyone? Thank you. Come here. No, hug me.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Hug me. See? I'm thinking about ass eating. Now you want a here. No, hug me, hug me. I'm thinking about ass eating. Now you want a hug. Nope. Wait a minute. You ate toilet paper out of someone's ass. No, it was the vagina. You are a sick, can I say it?
Starting point is 00:42:37 You sick fuck. I knew it, man. You're not. You're cut from a different club. Oh, man. We was kids. Why would you eat toilet paper out of a girl's butt? That's not what happened. You're not. You're cut from a different club. Oh, man. When we was kids. Why would you eat toilet paper out of a girl's butt? That's not what happened.
Starting point is 00:42:48 You clearly said that. I said from the front. Everyone said that. Oh, God. Everyone heard you say it. It's fine. Everyone has a fetish. I said that from the front.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I like toes. But I remember that in the special, though. You like toilet paper out of butts. You're like, girl, what is that? Oh, God. Is that two-ply? I'm in this. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Oh, man. Well, anyway, my point was. It's not like you can tell the joke. Could you be giving it away? Yes. Well, there's a lot of jokes. That's just one hour and a half special, right? Yeah, it was fun. That was my favorite one. It honestly is. So everyone go watch that special.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Everyone go watch that special. Are you working on a new one now? Yeah, I'm already on that. I started that the minute I dropped my special, I'm already working on a new one. So I've been working on it since March. And I feel like sitcom is in your future, Joe Coy. I want to, and the only reason why I want to is because I want that special. I want to be able to have a sitcom where you see diversity.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I want to see a family that we don't always see, that we always see on TV. We've been seeing that for so long i want to see a family i want to see a cast you know that looks like america mo hammer has a special on netflix a series and i love it yeah yeah i love it mo is incredible uh yeah that was the first thing i did i i i made sure to shout him out and text him because that's what we need. We need more shows like that. And him doing that is showing Hollywood
Starting point is 00:44:30 that, yeah, you can tell this story and not only that, you can make money on this story. But it has to be good, though. I think we have all these conversations about diversity, but you get the talented, diverse people. For sure. That have good stories to tell. You can't just put somebody on the screen
Starting point is 00:44:45 because if it's whack, then it's whack. There's a lot of whack diversity out here. Yes. A lot. A lot. We don't want to give them shows. Somehow they get shows sometimes. But yeah, I do want to do that show.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And when you shoot a TV show, I give up a lot of my stage time. And you don't make that much money shooting a show. So it's actually an investment to shoot a show. But I want to do it. Did your son audition for the role of your son? I should have. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:20 I should have because I didn't want to do. I had a pilot like 10 years ago. And there was a scene where I needed a kid and we casted my son and and he he couldn't hit the line right and this this prop kept falling and And then he just started crying he goes I don't even want to do this And all the cameras were on he goes i don't even like this i don't want to do this and it broke my heart i felt like the worst parent in the world and i never want to feel that again okay and and uh and i i didn't want to put that kind of pressure on my son you know and so that's why i didn't cast him but so what does he do now what does he do on the road with you? My son is so talented. I really strongly feel that he might do stand-up here pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:46:08 He loves stand-up. And he doesn't mind being made fun of. No, he loves it. And he's quick. And he's really, really funny. And that would be the greatest bookend to this whole story is me opening for my son one day. That would be great. What's his title on the roll with you? Son. You said he works for you.
Starting point is 00:46:33 He does. He does. He does. But he's also my son, so it's like I can't fire him. Yeah. That's Joe Coy's son. That's what everybody says. Oh, tell his son.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Go get his son. Yeah, yeah. Just roll. But he also, he does the merch and stuff but like he can't be out there that long like he has to set it up and get get to the back fast because everyone recognizes him and but it's cool and he's just on the road with me it's just such a beautiful thing man how did your whole family feel about easter sunday they loved it like yeah everyone loved it what does your mom say now? She loves it. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:47:05 She's the hardest critic, but she loves it. She's got a huge fan base right now. So, like, she's got her own shows. They're flying her out to do stuff now. Wow. So, I love that. Do you realize what you mean to the Asian community, though? Aw, thank you.

Hold on, hold on, Angela. Hold on, hold on, Angela. I try to keep it moving. You said you went to go see I don't wanna
Starting point is 00:47:46 Why are you making this a thing man? I went to go see him perform No we should make this a thing You went to go see him perform We should really make this a thing Oh god Ally was great though Very hard
Starting point is 00:47:54 Very harsh And you know what's so funny Joe was not great though Joe was fantastic How would you know? She was like really going in on her husband Yeah She's so funny Ally is so funny man I love Ally She was like really going in on her husband. Yeah. And then he ended up getting a divorce.
Starting point is 00:48:05 She's so funny. Ali is so funny, man. I love Ali. Yeah, there's a lot of us out there, man. And I want light to start shining on us, man. And not just because, you know, oh, we need to give them a shot. No, because they're funny, man. There's Asif Ali, J.R. De Guzman, Andrew Lopez.
Starting point is 00:48:22 I mean, there's another kid that I like. He's not even Asian, and not that many people know, but Mateo Lane. Mateo! It's my guy! Love Mateo. Where's his hour? Why did you shout out Mateo just now? Those are people that aren't getting looked at. Like, why doesn't he have an hour?
Starting point is 00:48:38 Like, don't get it. Give him some time, Joe! No, Charlamagne, it's not, man. Stop saying that. You can keep saying time for so long, but, like, no, it's not man. It's like you can keep saying time for so long, but like it No, it's not that you think more time do you need man like a friend on him cuz he's so openly gay Oh, man, I'm saying that because why doesn't he have an hour the guys? He's incredible I love my tail like why doesn't he have an hour and I don't care that what his what he is I don't I I just know him as being really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:49:06 That's all I saw. I saw him that night at an open mic that I was at, and he walked off stage, and I couldn't stop talking. I was like, who is that dude that went up before me? We all started on Guy Code together. Mattel used to be with us on Guy Code. Do you think that now with all these different streaming services, there is starting to be a lot more?
Starting point is 00:49:24 Like, I know Ida Rodriguez has her deal with HBO Max. There's another one. Ida, dude, she's a beast. I went to her filming where she presented some Latin comics coming to the stage. So I went to that where she was bringing out these other comedians. And then I watched Ali Wong bring out Shang Wang. That's incredible. She directed it, and that's what I want to do.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I want to direct, and those are the guys I want to direct, the guys that I mentioned. Those are the ones I want to do I want to direct and those are the guys I want to direct the guys that I mentioned those are the ones I want to do and I'll EP it I'll do whatever it takes like if these big giant platforms aren't going to produce it then I'll do it like I know what I had to do to get on
Starting point is 00:49:59 so then I'll just do it again so Netflix needs to do a Jokoi Presents yeah but I mean you present like three or four new comics. I like that but no, I don't like that. I want them to have hours. They deserve hours, man. Mateo doesn't need a 15 minute.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Dave Chappelle did that though for Earthquake. He did a whole special that he produced for Earthquake. And Donnells. Donnells is not out yet. But he did it. Yeah, he did it. And that's beautiful. And I want to do that. I want to do that. Like, I want to do.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Yeah, like, I never understood why Earthquake never had an hour special. That drove me crazy, man. Like, there's other guys out there, too, that, like, aren't seen. Why you don't do it, Joe? Let's do it. I am doing it. We're in the works right now. I'd go down on a Mateo special. Would you?
Starting point is 00:50:41 Don't say that publicly, bro. I would. I will gladly take some money from you. Absolutely. The least you could fucking do is give me some of your goddamn money. I would like to have that chain as a top payment. You know who's probably going to do Mateo's first, though? I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:50:58 If you don't, probably Nicole. Did you not just hear what I said? He just said he's doing it. I'm doing it. Oh, you're doing it? Yes. Are you not listening to anything? I thought you were wishful thinking. I didn't know said he's doing it. I'm doing it. Oh, you're doing it? Yes. Oh, this is official already. Are you not listening to anything? I thought you were wishful thinking.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I didn't know this was factual. No, I'm doing it. It's done. No, we're doing it. What are you not hearing? I'm getting ready to do those. He didn't say he's done. He said he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Does Mateo know about this? Yes. Okay. We all know this. Okay. What's up to Mateo? So, Joe Coy. I didn't take it that way.
Starting point is 00:51:23 How do you? Is there a way like how do you even take it to the next level now you did the forum like you said you've been selling out shows everywhere you're working on your next special like is there a next level for joe coy i i just want to get the i want to continue doing the specials i want to do so many more there's so many more i want to do there's uh there's different styles I want to do also that I want to come out with pretty soon. But most importantly, I want to be behind the camera. I want to start shooting these people.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I just think sometimes you'll see a special and you're like, who shot that? You know what I mean? Yeah, I have seen that. And you feel bad for the performer. But sometimes these performers... When I shot Live from Seattle, and this is what I love, the fact that they made me... They didn't make me. I chose to do it myself.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I had to learn everything. I knew how important sound was. I knew how important getting extra cameras so you got every shot. I had eight cameras. I had nine cameras. I had nine cameras. I got the spider cam for that arena. So using a jib, like I did things that I knew would be visually beautiful and would sound perfect.
Starting point is 00:52:36 And I knew watching my performance as well where to hit these angles or where to hit these shots. And those are the things that you need to do. You know, like if it's your special, it's your special. So take, like grab a hold of it, study it. Like don't just go there and show up, man. Because whoever's shooting it, like you're letting them, you're letting them do what they think you should look like.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Like, no, man, take control of it. My director, my producer, producer Shannon and Michelle they crushed it but one thing they that they let me do is really go in there and tell them what I wanted and I studied everybody man like the reason why the sound is so good is I I watched Dana Carvey's special live in Santa Rosa it was the best sounding special I ever I ever watched I watched so many specials just to learn like camera angles and what the set would look like. And, ooh, I don't like that lighting. I didn't like this.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Like, I remember seeing Jim Norton's special, and I liked his lights on the side. So I made sure to say that. I saw, when I saw Dana Carvey's, I was like, this is the best sounding special I've ever heard. Like, there's no special that sounds better than this. And it's so crazy because I did Dana Carvey's pod yesterday, and I told him that. I go, I just want you to know, like, I studied everyone's special, but yours is the one where I was like,
Starting point is 00:53:53 this is the first time I ever heard the audience sound the way it did. And he goes, you're not going to believe this, but when we went in and we did a run, I hated the sound. And I talked to the sound guy, I was like we have to fix this I wanted to sound like like we're watching Lucille ball like we're watching You know a sitcom that that's with and you hear the full audience I want that to be my special and they got all these Microphones and all that and they adjusted the sound so it's crazy that I gave him that compliment because that was the one thing that
Starting point is 00:54:22 He spent all his time on was his sound. Wow. So, yeah. It was appreciated. Yeah, it was such a cool moment because live from Seattle, that's the reason why it sounds the way it does is because of Dana Carvey. How did that help your overall stage show? Because you're about to go on a world tour, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:37 So how did that help the overall show? It's just, you know, when you, here's the crazy thing. I do that with my live show now. So, like, before, I would just tour with just my mic, you know, I would just bring my mic and I have a sound guy that walks out, but now I mic the audience. So I have boom, I have boom mics on stage. I got mics in the back of the room and I get the full sound, man.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I hear everybody. It's the energy you get from it. It is the energy. But like when you play arenas, man. I hear everybody. It's the energy you get from it. It is the energy, but when you play arenas, sometimes it hits you late, and you'll tell a joke, and then a couple seconds later, the laughter will come back, and it kind of throws your timing off,
Starting point is 00:55:16 but now I got the laughter coming right through my monitor, so I hear it in real time. What's that world tour look like? I know tickets go on sale Friday. Yeah, it's crazy. We're going to hit Australia, and we're doing all of Europe. I already did the Philippines and Dubai.
Starting point is 00:55:32 That was crazy doing the Philippines. It was a Wednesday night, and I sold 10,000 tickets. Wow. It was nuts, man. And now we get to do this, go on this world tour. I'm just so excited. When in 2023? It starts right away. I'm just so excited. It starts when in 2023? It starts right away.
Starting point is 00:55:47 I think it starts the end of January. Okay. So we're going to finish off, you know, this national tour and then we take off. Where do you get tickets from?
Starting point is 00:55:55 Tickets go on sale Friday. Yeah, just jokoy.com and everywhere else, Ticketmaster, everything else. You know, I always say you have
Starting point is 00:56:01 the best merch, right? You have amazing merch. I had an idea. That I've worn. Yeah. Don't act like you saw me post a picture joke I had a shirt on all right come here hug me what's your idea let me hug Charlie the way he wants to be There you go. There you go. A little pelvis. There you go. Envy is so jealous. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I'm never turning down a hug. That's why I'm not. My idea was for you with your merch to sell Tabos. You know we already did that? Oh, you did? Yeah, and it's a hit too. It's so funny. It's funny. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Because I feel like people would buy that. People watch the special, and you'll get to see Angela's, what she's talking about right now. I don't like doing my jokes on- You shouldn't. No, we'll just watch it. On live. No, you should not.
Starting point is 00:56:59 That's right. But people who are Filipino will know what a tabo is. Yes, but the world will learn. You know what's crazy is when you do stuff like that, you find out just how unspecific it is. You hear other cultures go, yeah, we have that. It's called a, someone DM'd me. They're like, yeah, the tabo, my mom has it. It's called a tic-tic.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I'm like, what? And they're like from like, they're Dominican or something like that. And I was like, what? So it was like, I'm hearing all these. Your people? I'm not Dominican, sir. Oh. Yes, you are.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I'm not Dominican. I swear to God, you're going to get canceled. He's Dominican. Everybody knows this. I'm not Dominican. Are you Dominican? Yes, he is. Where's your daddy from?
