They've been fronting on them. But now that he'll be on Breakfast Club, he'll at least get on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:04:14 That is dope. That is dope. You know, we actually got on Netflix before Gary Owen, but that's okay. Next time Gary Owen comes, we should give him like a 60-second or a two-minute slot just to do kind. Yeah, let him do a set. Yeah, absolutely. Let him do a set. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:04:28 But anyway, let's get the show Cracking. It's all about comedians this morning. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Good morning. This is James calling from North Carolina. What's up, James? Get it off your chest, brother. Nothing much. Good morning, everyone. Jazzy Jess. What's up?
Starting point is 00:04:52 What's up? Yeah. Yo, I saw this advertisement. on the Instagram the other day about these sneakers that give, they're for men, that gives you three inches of height. They like lifts. And it had me thinking, oh, at first I was like, that's a pretty good idea. But then I thought, isn't that lying kind of like women with those?
Starting point is 00:05:12 That is so lame. Why would you want to do that? That's so corny. Why can't we just be happy with what God gave us? Because what if he's like 411 and he's sick of it? He's still 411, even in them sneakers. And you're going to look extra dumb when you come out of them sneakers in front of the whatever a girl you're trying to impress.
Starting point is 00:05:27 She'll be like, what happened? Yeah, that's what I was getting to. That's what I was getting to, so on me. Like, isn't that lying, it's kind of like with women with the weave and the push-up balls and all that stuff? Yes. Yeah, a lot of people use those sneakers, and they say those sneakers actually work and you can't tell. Like, they look natural.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And they even got something else where they put a heel in the sneaker to make you look a little tall as well. Yeah, they look natural until you take them off. Imagine you meet the girl your dreams talking about you. I met this dude. He's five, he bought five, nine, five, ten. Right. Until you take them sneakers off.
Starting point is 00:05:54 And then she's like, what the hell? Hell. Hair clown, though, because he literally just was like out wigs and push up bras. That is totally different. What are you talking about? It's the same thing. No, it's the same thing. You meet this girl, she got big-ass breast, and then she take off her bra in his knees.
Starting point is 00:06:08 No, the breast still big. They just not purported. Yeah, they're just not sitting up. They're on the floor. But to take off your shoes and be, like, 5, 5, and I thought she was 5.8 is disrespectful. That is, I agree. Or the same thing. You got beautiful hair.
Starting point is 00:06:22 You think her hair is so beautiful, and then she put the wig on the side. The same thing. I don't mind a wig. Yeah, that's what I thought. That's what I thought. Same thing. A wig is different because a wig, it's not like she's trying to pretend that her hair is actually her hair with a wig.
Starting point is 00:06:36 You know it's a wig. You're trying to act like you, Will Smith, what you Carlson. Now I got a freaking Jazzy Jeff here and throw your ass out. Right. Jesus. Thank you, brother. You don't know all of them. He ordered them.

Starting point is 00:13:42 jovial sarcastic person and when I got out it was the it was the goal it was definitely the goal that became funny how you got to start doing the goal because you start comedy you actually don't know what to do you've seen it
Starting point is 00:13:57 but where do you go now you gotta go to an open mic I knew I needed clothes that's what I definitely knew I needed was clothes because you know comics always dressed and I'm coming out of prison
Starting point is 00:14:07 I had a seat my sister sent me a little Sears outfit you know it was a little shirt from Sears it was nice to the round tables I knew that was from Sears and some khakis

Starting point is 00:14:49 What'd you do? You don't mind is asking? I used to be a street pharmaceutical rep, which is very frowned. Very frowned. Like, when you sell drugs, they want you to have a jacket, go to, like, a CVS or Rite or somewhere, and people come in with prescriptions. I was, you know, short-cutting it.
Starting point is 00:15:05 What kind of drug was it? Unfortunately, crack. Oh, okay. You said, oh, okay, like, that was the worst ever the day. You were just ahead of your time. Marijuana. You know, I got fighting with the jail for marijuana. It was like, and they knew it was wrong.
Starting point is 00:15:21 And they're like, man, this don't even make no sense. It's a leaf. Now, what I did was definitely wrong. The fact that you only got six years back then is, because they were giving people football numbers. Who got six years? Oh, I thought you said you did six years. Oh, you did six.
Starting point is 00:15:34 No, I had six on a, I did six on a, I did six on a 15. Wow. Yeah, and I had a 15 and a ten that ran concurrent. Who did six years? I said, six years for crap. No, I said, they didn't get football numbers. They did get big six. No, they said, you only got six.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I said, jeez. Man, no. You knew somebody. No, envy. I didn't know nobody. I knew Rio Harris, my attorney. When I first went in, it was a Fed case. And Fed, they slept, too.
Starting point is 00:16:01 They come in there, oh, we just going to give you 300 months. And in your mind, they say it like that too, that. Yeah, 300 months. And in your mind, you were like, okay, 300 months, that ain't, that ain't, but I know math. And I'm like, no, no, no, you know, 300 months, you know? God, dang. No, we carry. No, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:21 20 years, right? 20 years or like that? Yeah. So they said it months so it sound like you can do it. And they're 300 months. All this. It sounds like days. But then when you do, go to calculating, so then you got dropped down the state. In the state, the lady came in.
Starting point is 00:16:36 She was wilding. The prosecutor, she said, well, I'm recommending 99 years. This is when. 99 years. This is the thing, envy. How much crack you got? Not only, but it was five keys, right? So the thing is this.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Jesus. They're not supposed to let me. in court, because I'm going to say something. My attorney, he wasn't talking fast enough. He's like 99 years, and I said a very derogatory word toward that lady, and I asked her who she thinks she caught. I'm like, man, I am 19.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Who you think you caught, ma'am? Eskabal? So we come back to court again. Got reset off. She's talking about, I think 60 years would be appropriate. Man, once again, ma'am. Do you want me to have a life after this?
Starting point is 00:17:17 So when you get out of jail, you get out of prison, you get your fake polo, remember your first show. Yes. Just Joking Comedy Cafe. Thursday night, Apollo night. I have on a suit because I'm working at most. I got a job at the mall. Okay. So I'm working at most of men's apparel store. Got a suit on. This is when you learn observation. So it's a lot of college kids in there because it's an Apollo night. And everybody up there doing everything. So I go up and all I said was, hey, and them folks booed the suit jacket off. I'm not even I didn't even tell it was bad so man I'm talking about the booze it was in stereo too
Starting point is 00:18:03 so I came and sat down and my partner Drake and told my man what happened I said bro you saw what happened you was in the audience I think you was born with him like you participated and at the time Nikki she asked me said um
Starting point is 00:18:20 Nicky old. My kid's mom. We'd be talking like we know all this people. I was going to explain it. And I said, she said, what, what your jacket at? I said, it's on the stage. They booted off of me. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Damn. So you had to go back up there and get your jacket? Man, yes. Man, man, it was. So I waited for two weeks. Ready for two weeks. Came back, t-shirt and jeans. And I didn't write down what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:18:49 because everybody was singing, man and I never won at this Apollo night because people hit you with the gospel songs even though I was good gospel songs. Can't be Jesus. Man, I heard, I sang the dude, he would start rapping and was about to get booed and changed this song
Starting point is 00:19:05 in the middle of the song, started singing by Jesus. So I'm like, wait a minute, I'm like, well, this more rapping, that's a minute ago. Now he's about how you spare relief. J-U-S-U-S-U-S-U-I. I'm like, now, why you're wild. Um, so, I'm just, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:19:19 I changed my whole thing, went back up every week for about a month and a half to the people. As soon as I would get there, after that, people were like, yo, man, you're going up tonight? Oh, he's funny. So I end up becoming the host to that same place that I got booed in just jumping comedy cafe. And I was the host for like a year. Yeah, that's how I started. So how did you turn into the storyteller comedian? Because that's a lot of, that's hard for people to do.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Like, it's, it's hard. I imagine not for you, but it's hard. Deal. deal um i'm i'm on the road with d l he told me he said yo man the funniest you're going to ever be in life is based on how honest you want to be and this was after some people when i was writing jokes i don't even blame the people anymore because i think that when you have writers that writers under the pressure of turning in something to another comic and so they could see your show and then turn in
Starting point is 00:20:16 I don't have nothing this week but if you try to get that check so you turn in somebody else's material to do the person who you turned it into has no idea that you that you just saw it somewhere and so now oh you're a thief
Starting point is 00:20:29 so now I just I switched from doing jokes to doing everything personally about me and people still try to steal it but it's hard because now you know there's a lot of comics that all of a sudden they went to jail
Starting point is 00:20:44 but I went to prison. It's a different thing. A lot of people went to jail, but prison is two different things. That county in the prison, two totally different things. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Joltson. My new podcast,
Starting point is 00:20:57 What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic
Starting point is 00:21:14 in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all, it's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant. And I'm Michael F. Lurio. And I'm Lequon Jones. If you're looking to win your fantasy football league, you need to tune in to the NFL fantasy football podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:08 It's right there in the name. Every week, Florio, LQ, and I bring you the latest news from around the league. We break down every matchup, give you our analysis and advice so you know who to start, sit, drop, and trade to bring that championship trophy home. I just want to remind everyone how good Rishie Rice was last season and these three healthy games. He was the wide receiver 2 in fantasy.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I think Rishie Rite just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Nearside, touchdown! Remindry Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off. We're monitoring, running it right, and running into the end zone.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Touchdown! It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted, shoes and identity that other people can't have.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the incredible power
Starting point is 00:23:43 of secrets. The ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The moments that shape us often begin with a simple question. What do I want my life to look like now? I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford. And on therapy for black girls, we create space for honest conversations about identity, relationships, mental health, and the choices that help us grow. As cybersecurity expert, Camille Stewart Gloucester reminds us, we're in a divisive time where our comments are weaponized against us. And so what we find is a lot of black women are standing up and speaking out because they feel the brunt of the pain.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Each week, we explore the tools and insights that help you move with purpose. Whether you're navigating something new, are returning to yourself. If you're ready for thoughtful guidance and grounded support, this is the place for you. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly,
Starting point is 00:25:31 and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need, because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to food, fertilize their farm, paying school fees or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change. So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Head to give directly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and make a contribution. And if you're a first time donor, giving multiplier will even match your gift. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab to donate. For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal
Starting point is 00:26:09 not just for myself, but alongside others. I'm Mike De La Rocha. This is Sacred Lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and collective healing. What do you tell men that are hurting right now? Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through it.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as people just breathe. Next to the wound is their gifts. You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound. That's the hard thing.
Starting point is 00:26:44 You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and that's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer. Listen to sacred lessons as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:27:02 or wherever you get your podcast. So I would go up and people would be trying to do in jail, stuff in front of me. I'm like, but you know that's not what I'm doing. I'm walking through my life from 10 years old to now. So it just happens to be the first comedy series
Starting point is 00:27:20 of specials. Like all these specials are tied together. So if you see three now, which came out Mother's Day, you can't go see four without seeing one and two. Yeah. And one is the masterpiece, but three is the best one to me. Really? That's far that
Starting point is 00:27:36 I see. And two has a different cachet to it because I was showing a different skill set in the actual art of it because it's two faces to comedy you know it's happening tragedy so in two my sister passed
Starting point is 00:27:51 sorry to hear that my brother and well it's late now I didn't know you know you know what I'm dead I was 20 years I mean I was already
Starting point is 00:28:05 he's over 20 years my dad I haven't seen grief is not linear I don't know how you're feeling this morning about it man I was 20 years ago he was trying to say I haven't seen in a while 20 years man this guy is crazy I'm 50 years old now
Starting point is 00:28:26 sorry sorry they that man well I'm madman we've dealt with this guy's crazy you know I my whole intent to come up here with because I was mad at at you. What I do? Man, you were saying my name wrong, and you did it twice, too. You know what I'm saying? Allie. I'm like, this man, know, how to say my name. Ali. What is that wrong?
Starting point is 00:28:47 Ali. You know, you were talking about my special with somebody into my, yeah, I think it's name Ali, and they said it to me, and it was on the break, because I'm like, he knows how to say Ali. He knows. No, because I kept hearing other people say Ali for me. I don't know why you was listening to other people. You better than that show, man. And I say, A-L-L-I.
Starting point is 00:29:05 I say somebody called up there and asked him who his favorite Boxing, it's probably Muhammad Ali. He's going to say, Ali, just take the Muhammad out. Because when the first special came out, everybody I knew was talking about that special. Especially in the comedy world.
Starting point is 00:29:20 It was like, yo, you got to watch this do Ali Sadie. You know? Ain't nobody say that to him. Nobody said you got to watch this dude Ali Sabique. You know, a lot of real comic, calm stories.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Ain't nobody said that anybody said that. You know, it's like, Ali Wong. Like, he said there, all of us, Ali. Like, and look, I don't even know. I'm like, Charlamagne don't like me.
Starting point is 00:29:45 When I get up, when I finally get to the breakfast, I'm leading with, hey, man, why are you saying my name? Then I left it alone. Right, it's like, whatever. Whatever, at least he mentioned me. That's all I had. But that first special took off, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Did you understand that it would do that or it was just a risk? I'm going to throw this on YouTube and see what happened. Man, I thought it was really good. And when I do a special, it takes a while for it. You know, I have recorded probably three or four specials before that one. And it was like, no, it's not special. So Domino Effect, the first one, I knew that it was, I knew it. It's like the first album I put out on talking loud saying something.
Starting point is 00:30:24 That's my reasonable doubt, you know. So I knew once I put this one out, I knew it. I had that feeling about it. I was too excited about it. And it didn't have any flaws to it. And that's one thing When I look at something I don't want it to have anything
Starting point is 00:30:39 That somebody can grab on to Like, but what about this? So when that happened And then somebody said, well, what's the rest of the story? I said, what? Like, what happened after that? I said, you want to know?
Starting point is 00:30:51 So they, oh, so you had never even planned to make it All of it to keep on going with a series. When somebody asked me about what happened after that And I said, okay, well, I stopped at 16 So let's do from 16 to 19. and then we did the first we did two and then I say yo let's finish up how I even got incarcerated
Starting point is 00:31:15 people know I was there but let's see how I got there yeah and then we we did three and we recorded three and four in DC at the same time so we did um two shows on that Friday and two shows on that Saturday so four comes out Father's Day so we strategically um put one on Mother's Day one on Day and four is two hours long, you know, versus the 130 that I've been doing. Your special part four comes out on Father's Day, like you said. How much of that involves, like, your dad, or does it even involve? Man, my dad, he, I put him all through the rest of him.
Starting point is 00:31:55 He has a small piece in four because he had, while I was incarcerated, my pops had, at 50, almost 60 years old, got locked up for an assault. Right. And my daddy thought he was on some big boss, mob type thing because his two brothers was locked up. I was locked up. Then he gets locked up. So he sends $500 on everybody's books while he locked up
Starting point is 00:32:20 and going to write a letter, yeah, just sent you some bread. Like, we're not in the family. You didn't send me nothing until you got locked up. I don't even understand this. I've been locked up like four years Now he's going Yeah, sent you some bread Since we die on here

So I'm taking care of her one day because my cousin, we're rotating and I'm over. I give her a Coke. Her Coke is low. I come back to grab a Coke to fill it up.

I'm an entrepreneur I own the biggest black on comedy club in the country. Super funny comedy club. There you go, in Tacoma, Washington. I'm a guy that got it out the mud from the very
Starting point is 00:42:29 bottom and scraped my way up to a Netflix special that was in the top 10 and peaked at number three and did extremely well for the platform. And there's a lot coming. There's TV shows. There's movies. And so I'm excited. That's who I am. I'm
Starting point is 00:42:45 your excited, hugable gangster cousin. People that probably don't, you know, might have thought you came out of nowhere. Like, you got the Super Funny Comedy Club in 2021, right? Yeah, well, basically, we were building it, and then the news was saying that COVID was coming. Okay. Which is, which is, which is, which is, who, it's hard enough to build a place, let alone watch the news and be like, I don't think it's going to come over. I don't think it's going to come over. I don't think it's going to first touchdown in the United States.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As soon as it was like, I think it was Everett Washington or something. It was like two hours north. I was like, oh, this is a rap. So that might have been a blessing then. If you got you some PPP loans? No, because you had to be open for like a year to get
Starting point is 00:43:21 Yeah, we had no help You could lie like everybody else? Man, I tried, I tried to create I was a, I have an auto detail business I have a dog grooming business Oh, you sh** me I clean shoes I was coming up with everything
Starting point is 00:43:36 All of them were like Did did did did do nothing was working So no we just fought on our own We just fought it You know what I'm saying And survived and so We were at the first location for five years Now we're at a brand new location
Starting point is 00:43:48 downtown on the Marriott block from Tacoma, you know, but it's, that's it. Like, this is, this is it. For my city, we're in the most peak spot best location you could be, and now it's like we're thriving like crazy. But you're a veteran, though. You've been doing comedy for like 20, 26 years? Somewhere between 23 and 24.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Okay. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I've been, that's what I'm saying, I've been at it for a minute. You know what? We've met before, and it's worth me talking about for a second, Charlotte, Maine. So, I was working with Jesse Collins Entertainment as a crowd warm-up and they did this show
Starting point is 00:44:21 hip-hop of Hollywood Squares Oh yeah, I remember that? Yeah, and Jess was the square and D.C. was the square and other, like, cast members from Wiling Out and stuff were squares. That's when D.R.A. was hosting it? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And I really wanted to be in a square. Like, when soundstage would be empty, I'd be sitting in a square. And, like, to the point where they, like, over a headset, like, was like, Nate Jackson, out of the square. Like, just total rejection. Like, yeah, like, this is for stars.
Starting point is 00:44:49 They put me out the chair. So we were on a break in between two segments, and I was so upset this day, man. You didn't have one of them days where you're like, man, fuck all this? Yeah. That's what I was on. And Tip was like in the top left square, and we had met before. And he told me to play, he was like, play, you want me to play juvenile. You see that 98 Mercedes.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Yeah, 400 degrees. 20 degrees. He was like, yeah, he played that. Yeah. So I played that. I remember the day now. You're talking now. I do.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Okay. The Seals was there. Yeah. And so he was up there, you were either on the bottom one or the left one, but you were right there. And you were like, yo, you're killing it. I was like, excuse me? And you were like, dog, I f***ed with like the, I can't remember exactly what you said, but you were like, I f***ed with like, you know, the crowdwork guys.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I was the little guy, because I was the little guy, man. I came up under Wendy and I grinded. I got it out the mud. So when I see y'all, I watch it, I was like, you don't even know what that did for me that day. Wow. And I'm just telling you, the little things like that, I was like, you know, Let me just play my role. Let me do my shit.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And let me just, you know what I'm saying? But that was, that was heavy that day. I remember that day, because when 40 degrees came on, all of us that from the South started rapping it. Like, everybody. He got each and talk rap. Like, that was a great day. You see that 98 Mercedes on TV about that.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And I looked up in all nine squares is rock. I was like, okay. And I remember you doing the crowd work, but I remember you being a little bit bigger. Okay. I mean, I was expecting that. I remember you. You're too.
Starting point is 00:46:17 What the What is that? Wow. Just came right forward. My f***ing it just like, welcome to the show. God, damn.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Welcome to the don't eat breakfast club because we're trying to lose weight. Yeah, man, I went fruit and veggie raw on May 1st, and I lost 38.5 pounds. Wow. So I'm just, like, melting.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And so now I'm like trying to introduce some white meats back and whatever. because I was like, man, there's too much chicken going to buy everybody. Like, yeah, yeah, we eat, but you're not. So I basically just eat around the outside of the grocery store and stay out the middle, and so I've just been melting away.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Was it a scare? Was it a scare, or you just wanted to get healthier or the reason why? I want to see where my... Connect connect to my body. Oh, that makes sense? You also address that. I have a joke about it.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I'm like, I can see the first seven inches, but that first five, I can't see that part. So that's a joke. But, no, I just wanted to lose some weight, man. I mean, we lost Teddy Ray. I was going to let him go. I'm laughing at that now.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I'm laughing. I'm still having this a shit joke. You did the math? You didn't start shot out dead people. Rest of peace, Teddy Ray. Them shit that's too.
Starting point is 00:47:28 No. Anyway. So I only see verse 7 and that half that. But you know what? I noticed in your special you talk about it
Starting point is 00:47:36 a lot, your weight and eating and you got a lot of food jokes or whatever. I did like four minutes over to just break the ice. Yeah, yeah. For sure.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And then they're like, oh, that's what we're going to take for the national clip. That's going to be your trailer. I'm like, oh, okay. So now, okay. What about all the other stuff I said? But how does it impact now? Because now you, you know, you lost a lot of weight. And I'm guessing you're still coming down, right? So
Starting point is 00:47:57 how does that affect your comedy now? Like, you're still doing the food jokes? You can. I mean, it's not, I don't have, I had food jokes, but it was more about weight, loss jokes, and temptation. And you can have that at any weight. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was crafted where I was like, I think I'm losing weight, but I can still get these jokes off. You know what?
Starting point is 00:48:14 But at the end of it, I write a lot. And that's what the crowdwork is. You're writing on the spot. So just switch it up. Is there anything that you stay away from? Like, you know, because I feel like the world is so sensitive now. Like you say one thing, you know, we're going to cancel you. Is anything that you stay away from or you'd be like, I kind of am with everything,
Starting point is 00:48:31 but I will tread lightly around, you know, some politics stuff. Because they've just been so, it's so magnetized, you know. At a point, people are like, I don't even care what you're talking about no more. he's not. He's obviously not. I'm like, man, just chill out. I want everybody to laugh first. That's why it's called Super Funny. That's the theme of the show. Love, love hard, eat good, and laugh, laugh to your fullest. So that's the thing. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I was talking to people miss the funny in things because they want to cancel you. They are looking for something to be hurt or affected by. I remember one time you just laughed. It could be a black joke, a white joke, a gay joke, a straight joke. It didn't matter. If it was funny, it was funny. but now I feel like people look for something to be like I'm going to cancel you up that word right there you know yeah depend on the word but yeah or the term or the joke
Starting point is 00:49:22 I think it depends on how you're saying it right like what I can stand the least is when a comic takes the time to craft a beautiful joke and I mean a beautiful joke where it like meanders and then you get hit with the punchline and then you still be like but the topic was da-da-da hey man chill out that's a good ass joke
Starting point is 00:49:40 yeah also I think we're shifting back some and I don't want to say it on a platform so big that people are like, oh, you think we won't cancel you too? I don't need that smoke. But I'm just saying, I think there's been a shift since, I don't know, maybe 2019, 2020. Definitely. And so there's been some pushback.
Starting point is 00:49:56 People like Schultz and people like Chappelle that are like, I'm, man, fuck all that. Comedy first. Then we'll talk about what's next. That's right. If you are going to say anything that's going to be even a little bit controversy, it has to be funny.
Starting point is 00:50:08 It has to be funny. So people can't be why. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors
Starting point is 00:50:36 were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the world. worth moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight. Doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

I just want to remind everyone how good Rishi Rice was last season. And there's three healthy games.
Starting point is 00:51:44 He was the wide receiver, too, and fantasy. I think Rishi Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Their side, touchdown! Remandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position, and he could deliver double-digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Remodry running it right, and running into the end zone. Touchdown! It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and it's all they say.

Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need, because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees, or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change. So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pods Fighters.
Starting point is 00:56:08 poverty campaign. Head to give directly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and make a contribution. And if you're a first time donor, giving multiplier will even match your gift. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab to donate. It's got to be so funny to the point where they don't need one cancel you, man. That is funny. Right. Yeah. I had a joke about a Vietnamese car dealer. And I don't sound ridiculous. I'm from Tacoma, Washington, and we kick it with the Vietnamese, Cambodian, Samoans, black people. Everyone's all, we all mix.
Starting point is 00:56:41 And so when you go gamble, the dealer going to be Vietnamese. And they were teaching me words. And so I started picking up on the dialect and be like, and stuff like that. So I had this joke. What does that mean? That means, fuck you. And so I picked up on that. They say that a lot. And I just started hearing it, not knowing what it
Starting point is 00:56:57 was. I'm like, why y'all keep saying and they're like, oh yeah, I mean, fuck you. I'm like, what the fuck? So I wrote a joke about how I had found out, but I put it after I hit a jackpot. So, basically she was calling me about which was my interpretation of her saying it in my face and I didn't know so I slowly reveal that they've been being racist to me and then I get hers and get back the dealer and I'd say she acts black so she I said
Starting point is 00:57:20 well okay you act black then and she's like I don't know my father I'm like bitch that's not what the fuck I was listening for an accent what are you supposed to sound black Damn. Stop it, stop it. He's stopping. Stop. There's a lady in there that really don't know a dad like she.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Right now. Ah! Man, she's about to come in like, that's messed up. That's my own. Triggered her. I'm so sorry. Man, I was watching one of your specials before.
Starting point is 00:57:52 One of your crowd worked specials, man. There was a fat dude in the crowd. The fat dude named Big Mac, that due security. I don't know if you remember, but the dude was like. he said something to you and you was like don't get mad at me
Starting point is 00:58:04 I'm not the one who fed you I want to feed you I don't make you bite on that shit people in the comments like calling the kettle black I'm like nah that's a little pot calling a big ass kettle black but the point of the Vietnamese joke
Starting point is 00:58:17 was that same joke JFL was like we can't have you up here because you're saying that joke I'm like did you listen to it so I just got back I came straight from Montreal here to where I had my own show
Starting point is 00:58:30 I had like I did I'm variety top 10 yes I got that this year but it brings it full circle to be like I almost I was like I should do the joke you know what I'm not going to be bitter I can't funny you should have I'm saying it's funny now if I just came out like me and the mean sound crazy and I just start cussing
Starting point is 00:58:50 like I'm like that that is you overstepping yeah you know I'm saying but and that's my pet peeve like if somebody if you can hear the intellect then the joke and the setup and be like who would That was a good misdirection. Say, here's that, like, nah.
Starting point is 00:59:03 It's like how some older black people like, I didn't even have fun because he cussed 14 times. You sitting there counting? Exactly, man. That's a fucking show. Yes. Listen, give people the story.
Starting point is 00:59:13 So you went from, you're doing the warm up, warming up the crowd at the hip hop squares, but I know you ended up on a while and now. Like, how did all of those stuff, things happen? Oh, my goodness. That's not my start.
Starting point is 00:59:23 My start, I just got dared to do comedy while I was in college. And I went on stage, and I was like, oh, this was kind of good. And so I stuck with it. then I moved immediately to LA and I was there for like six years and then I was like I need to go home
Starting point is 00:59:36 and stack some bread so I started like 12 shows and then I combined it into one show and it was like the biggest show it was like Thursday night was like 420 people for like eight years it was massive and um in Seattle in Tacoma yeah downtown Tacoma and um if it's really like 80 people every Thursday
Starting point is 00:59:54 in case the IRS is listening so it was like it was hella um but then I stacked and came back and so then different opportunities started to kind of come together and so I had an opportunity to work with Jesse Collins Entertainment and that's how I did the crowd work and I think it was just a plug from D-Ray
Starting point is 01:00:09 because I do Monday nights at the improv and D-ray shout out to D-ray and so that's how I got into that but the way Hollywood man you'll have a day where you're like yo I made it you'll be standing on a table fist pumping the air between
Starting point is 01:00:28 Tony Rock and Chris Rock You know what I'm saying Like what it would feel like a million bucks And then the next day you're like Damn I gotta perform in this dungeon Yeah It's not it's up

Starting point is 01:03:29 But the show is in front. Really? So even if you did do that and it worked, who cares? Come on, man. Put the other hat on. You're the exact. You put your bag in the air convene on episode. Here come one of your little...
Starting point is 01:03:39 Doing anything in frame. Yeah. That she asked to do that thing. Oh, specifically. And I even remember being like, I was... Somebody was next to me, I was like, hey, she'd say to throw the thing. You want to go out and they were like, well, no, man, I don't want to go. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Well, she asked... Like, I'm not gonna... I don't want to not do it. Then after, she's like, where was the... I was waiting. Yeah. Man. Did you really tell Nick?

Starting point is 01:04:15 I'm not seeing that in person. You're kidding me? He's just in a garage doing upside down sit-ups. He never seen Nick. He got too many shows. He was shooting six shows and all right now. time. That's crazy. I could not believe, bro.
Starting point is 01:04:29 He shot like a vlog, a Deas and Merrill thing. He shot Walin Out. Then he went to AGT. Then he shot a car show. Yeah. I was like, this is tired. Yes. No, see, Nick. When? How did that come about, though? How did Netflix end up the place? It's simple for me, but like, so my mom getting older, and she has an office downstairs at our house in Lacey, Washington. And she got to go down these steps to go down to this cold-ass basement and turn on the area heater to get on Netflix
Starting point is 01:04:59 or to get on any streaming platform but Netflix came on their old ass smart TV which is dumb now but that was the one I was like it's a smart TV Netflix built in so she'll watch Netflix and from the comfort of the couch fireplace and all that so for me
Starting point is 01:05:16 I was like this is how my mama gonna see me and be comfortable yeah oh wow wow so you pray with all the other stuff you know about Netflix and it kind of makes sense but if they're not going to get me a deal it's like I gotta go to wherever but that's why I was like I could just stick it on YouTube with the crowdwork joints
Starting point is 01:05:30 where there's now 750,000 people I think that would land well but let's see if we can get traction with them because just literally I was on calls with agency they're like what platform I'm like Netflix why my mama can't watch this shit down sticking
Starting point is 01:05:44 I need her in the living room and be like my baby did it I need that and we and that's what we did Gary Owen about to write that down he'll try to use that to get his Netflix special finally you know Gary can't get a Netflix special for nothing we got a podcast to Gary No, my shton I ain't know that. What podcast you and Gary got together?

Starting point is 01:06:10 So you got a Netflix special? How did you break the news to Gary? Right after he told me that they turned him down. Damn. But I didn't mean to say it that way, though. Like, he was like, hey, man, I'm waiting to find out about Netflix. Now, I had already knew. Like, I might be riding him third on mine.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And so I just had to sit there And he told me the whole thing Like yeah man I'm ready for it to get on there man I don't know what it's about And I was like man maybe you know Just keep talking along brother You didn't want to give me your good news yet I had to wait I was like

Starting point is 01:07:25 Gary would come up to the club. He did a weekend, and the weekend went great, and I asked him to do my podcast, and we had a great episode. And then it was just, it was, we just synergized to where it was like, yo, we should probably do something. And then it turned into, like,
Starting point is 01:07:37 the Gary and Nate pod. And then the crowd work joints that I was putting out where I'm putting out once a month or whatever, I, like, somebody sent me and was like, yo, Gary got these things. He's doing once a month now. And I was like, well, wait. Stop laughing.
Starting point is 01:07:52 They're cool now. I said, wait, Gary did what? So I didn't say nothing. I just sat on it because we were only filming once a month. I have been seeing Gary do more crowd work, man. I'm not going to be joking. I'm not even joking. I have been doing more crowd work.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Yeah, you'll see it. And when they explode it, it just pops up, right? Yeah. White people always do that to us, though. Good for Gary, man. I love that he's getting traction because Gary's he's hella funny. He is. We love Gary, man.
Starting point is 01:08:19 But this story is a lot of. I'm not, I'm not. I didn't know y'all had a pod. I just subscribed to it. Y'all only started in November, though. It's also done. We're going to do one more episode, explaining what is over.

Starting point is 01:09:05 It's not even a full story. God damn. Envy. Envy just be in the fight. He's that fucking money. Envy in the back. You ain't going to do shit. He ain't going to do shit.
Starting point is 01:09:15 That's what you do, envy. He just poke the bear. He is the Instagram. Listen, I rock with Gary. I have no, I have no malice. You know what I'm saying? And so he's good. But, not but.
Starting point is 01:09:26 It's just Ann. And so I have noticed that as I'm up in the Pacific Northwest, fighting for ways to be an innovator and stay relevant from way to fuck up there and off the grid that sometimes people come up and they're like, oh, that's suss. That's the sauce. You can't, I can't protect that. Whether he comes close to me and does it or stays away from me and does it, if somebody sees an editing style or a wave or, I don't know, a dress or a way,
Starting point is 01:09:50 somebody walks and talks and it's working. Astros jersey, go ahead. There's nothing you can do. He's from there. Well, he's from Ohio, but he lived, this, envy is wild. He's literally saying
Starting point is 01:10:01 every point of contention from when we argued. At the end of the day, we only were recording first Mondays. Oh, you said that to him. You said, you ain't wasn't even wearing baseball jersey.
Starting point is 01:10:11 You said to him. And then Gary was like, look at me at my wedding party. He said, me. He said, look at me. Now, you know, God damn well. Oh, wow. Same damn
Starting point is 01:10:24 You're going to be up here And like a week No Gary don't Gary always come up here by the way Gary's solid Nothing to be saying And all that
Starting point is 01:10:30 Anybody just wondering Where I'm mad on it He's good He good Okay Now But you're just not Doing the podcast
Starting point is 01:10:36 No more But y'all good No I can't It's because we do We do first We do first monies And so he'll come up And do the club
Starting point is 01:10:43 And the door deal Is what makes it Worth coming up Then we record One or two or three Or four episodes In one day Or two and
Starting point is 01:10:51 and two. And it'd be my only two days off for maybe a 14th stretch of road gigs. I'm like, Gary, I can't. I can't do it. So I'm doing a comedy festival the 11th through the 17th, because my birthday is the 14th in August. And so he's going to come up and he's going to do Monday the 11th and then we're going to do one more episode just as playing like, and we're just busy. Yeah, where's your comedy festival?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Is it in your hometown? Yeah, yes, in Tacoma. Okay. Yeah. So we got Tony Rock anchoring the weekend. Amazing. So Gary will do the Monday. Then I'm going to do a Nate Jackson presents Monday. It's one of my concepts where it's like I'm hosting for 35, 40 minutes and then all the acts just come out the door.
Starting point is 01:11:28 You don't know who's on stage. Don't know who's on the show. This makes so much sense because I was listening to Gary's pod like last week and I was wondering why he was just going in on people who do crowd work. He was like people who do crowdwork are lazy and they don't really know how to write.
Starting point is 01:11:43 You said that? Gary, on his pod. That sound made up. That sounds made up. Oh yeah, I did make it up. It's true. Hey, yo. You're glad to see you through it.
Starting point is 01:11:52 I'm so glad to see you. I didn't make that up. I made it up. Because here's why it's made up. Because if you do crowdwork or attempt to do crowdwork and you have good moments and you string them together, you already know you're using traditional stand-up structure, but you're plugging the information you got off the people into that. So we're writing live and on the spot.
Starting point is 01:12:14 And I think that what's overlooked is the phenomena of why people are like, Why crowdwork? Because you're in the crowd and you're hearing the response your brain is processing the same information and you're like, what would I say?
Starting point is 01:12:28 What was he going to say? And every time the person you like that does it finds an angle. So if I got to start with whatever, like I would have been I would have went on stage and be like, y'all see Coldplay?
Starting point is 01:12:40 Y'all see the dude get caught? I can talk about that at the crowdwork joint. And now it's like, who in here cheat? Now we got some segues to get through. You know what I mean? But like, it's almost a gift when you get something you're like
Starting point is 01:12:51 okay let's cook with this right and I like to find a few so that I can do callbacks and have it all come together and gel together so at the end you're like that wasn't just that was an experience that wasn't just a couple of moments Nate Jackson, tell them what to follow you brother
Starting point is 01:13:07 Nate Jacksoncom or at Mr. Nate Jackson on the gram or Nate Jackson Comedy on TikTok just tap in Nate Jackson com is where you can see everything I'm on I'm ending the super funny world tour here in the next couple of dates, and the big dog tour starts right after that international.

In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos.

But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all.

According to dispatches, they could hear the sounds of a struggle in the background of the call,
Starting point is 01:21:51 and Evan was yelling, shoot me! Now, Evan's mother said the argument started the previous night, because Evan said he wanted money transferred to him so he could go buy some weed. Yes, marijuana, pot, grass, gunga, he wanted his mama to transfer money to him so he could go buy some. and when she said no, the argument escalated. Evan threatened suicide said he was going to overdose on pills,
Starting point is 01:22:16 okay, if he didn't get that money. He acting like he broke up with his mother. That's how I acted when my lady broke up with me in 2001. Sometimes you've got to fake kill yourself to get your girl back. It happens, but this is not his girl. It's his mother, okay? Acting like this over some damn weed. So the next morning, she told police that he grabbed her head,
Starting point is 01:22:33 pushed it toward the floor, and then put her in a headlock. His mother? Yes. Jesus. She said that her son told her that if she did not hand over his medication, he was going to apply pressure to her neck before he released her and took his medication into his room. Jess, what would happen to your son if he tried you like this?
Starting point is 01:22:52 Excuse me, I wouldn't even, I can't even say it on air. I can't. This is how I know parents being happening when they say, I bought you into this world so I can take you out. Okay, mothers be in situations like this. And all they can think about is how they bought this child into the world because of a stranger, they would have attempted to. take a stranger out a long time ago but wait it gets worse okay daddy got involved daddy and
Starting point is 01:23:13 the son began arguing so evan big grown-ass 20 year old threw a tv and an x-bots down a flight of stairs breaking both of them and damage in the wall so when his father went down his steps to check the damage guess what pushed him down the stairs what i'm sorry they're not that's not yet we're not there yet okay pushed him to the ground he hit his head on the garage door talking about the father. His father then went outside to distance himself from his son, running basically, okay, while his wife called 911. What kind
Starting point is 01:23:46 of punk-ass pops did Evan have? My daddy, my father, going outside to get distance after I threw down a TV, after I threw a TV down a flight of stairs, then pushed him down the flight of stairs, she. Don't nobody in that house on no gun? You know what I'm saying? What's wrong with you? Then
Starting point is 01:24:02 the son followed his daddy outside, pushed his daddy to the ground again, and put him in a headlock. and told his father he was going to kill him and take them both out. Then he let his father up and started to beat his father's car with a stick. So started doing damage to his father's car with a stick. Let me tell you something. Not to the caddy.
Starting point is 01:24:22 I don't know what kind of car I was, but I don't beat my kids, but I got all girls. And I come from the era of extreme ass whippings from my parents. This 20-year-old needed an ass whipping straight from the 1900s, not to mention you 20. At that point, you're a grown-ass adult. Okay. So whatever goes, goes. Now, when cops came, they ordered the suspect to put his hands behind his back. He said no.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Then he started to walk toward one of the victims again because he wanted more smoke, okay? Victims being his parents. Officers had to use a tase on him before they put him in custody. And while in custody, he kicked officers several times, and he was sent to a hospital to be mentally evaluated. Okay, let's play a game. I'm ready for this one. You want to play a game?
Starting point is 01:25:03 Let's play a game of guess what races. All right. Evan Hausman of Pennsylvania facing a whole bunch of charges because he beat up his parents, all right? Basically beat up his parents, mom and dad. Then when the cops came, they had to tase him. He put hands on them too. But he lived a tell to tell the tale.

Starting point is 01:25:39 And when the police came, he put hands on them too, but he lived a tell to tell. The last, guess what race he is? I call Cassidy with the audacity. Well, DJ Envy, just hilarious, you both were correct. Evan Hausman is a blue-eyed devil.
Starting point is 01:25:57 Wait, wait, wait, I knew it. I knew it. He got the blue eyes and everything. Straight out the Caucasus Mountains. Come on, man. If I did that to my... I wouldn't be here right now. Hey, what are we talking about? I wouldn't be here.
Starting point is 01:26:10 This whole story reeks of whiteness. Debt, peak whiteness. Okay, capital riot whiteness. There's no way. There's no way. There's no way I'm going to be here right now. What's story when you need them? You need a bull for them feet.
Starting point is 01:26:21 What are you talking about? Sit your ass down. Lord, have mercy. I don't care. Could you imagine? No. No, could you? No.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Like, what? What? Please. I mean, I ain't saying you had to shoot him to kill him, but nah. Indrim. You need to, yeah. You need to sit your ass down for a long time. Putting your hands on your mom is one thing, all right.
Starting point is 01:26:40 But, God dang, when the daddy let you get away with it, too. He beat the daddy up. He threw a TV down, like he thought he was precious lover. Like, he threw a TV. No black parent, no black family. He's not even in shape. He's a little fat, portly Caucasian. What about you, Red?
Starting point is 01:26:56 Ain't like his Logan beating up envy. Puerto Rican family. That wouldn't happen. He'd be limpid. My mom would have whipped my ass too. Oh, your mother would have whipped jazz. Yeah, my mother. I don't even thought of that.
Starting point is 01:27:04 She got the chalclita. Yeah. Yeah. figure that. See, we black and brown up here. Ain't no damn way. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Morning, everybody. It's DJNV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the

I don't know. But what are my favorite comedians, ladies, ladies' gentlemen? Gary Owens here, ladies. Yes. Gary Owens. Let's get it. Ratings are about to skyrocket.
Starting point is 01:27:34 How are you feeling, first and foremost? How is that Everything's great. No complaints. I've been really watching your clips the last couple of... I like that at her. The last couple of weeks I've been watching your clips. And I just want to say salute to you. I've seen a couple of clips where one guy, which was kind of weird, I thought it was kind of weird.
Starting point is 01:27:54 His wife died. Yes. And he still went to see Gary Owen. Yes. Two days later. Two days later. Because he was supposed to go with his wife and his wife died. And he still went, which was surprising.
Starting point is 01:28:06 and buddy went, and Gary, you decided to take care of the funeral course. The, well, they cremated her. They cremated her. So I took care of the earn. Then I gave him more because he had to take off work for a month. But he didn't, I don't think he had a go-fund me. So he got that, and that got over $14,000.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Wow. That's what I got. But the reason I, it just was kind of spur of the moment, but it was more he didn't ask. Because then you see the good and the bad side of social media to do something like that? Because I had, my DMs got overrun well since you helped him
Starting point is 01:28:39 help me can you do this all he sent me a message was he told me that his wife passed they and then when I saw his page they go to a lot of comedy shows that was their thing so they got pictures of all kinds of comedians and so he's like I'm gonna go
Starting point is 01:28:55 because she wanted we were supposed to go and so that's why I took care of it because he didn't ask he said man I don't know if you do meat and grease but I really like get a picture with you that's all he wanted that's all he wanted yeah yeah I can even tell
Starting point is 01:29:06 even when he was asking, he was stuttering, like, I'm not here for this, but thank you. And I wanted to know, you know, because you pick on, I don't want to say pick on, but you will call people out at a show. Have you ever called out somebody and it was wrong? Like, I've done it up here all the time, but like, so what did your mom think? And they'd be like, my mom's dead.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Like, it's happened a bunch of times. So has that happened to you? Yeah, yeah. You just be like, ah, way to bring the show down. Yeah. If you had a comment show, you're there to laugh, but that's going to happen. You know, I'm not mean like that.
Starting point is 01:29:33 People think I'm just doing, like, crowd work. sometimes I get interrupted and we're taping it now so I finally got a full-time camera person with me which I should have did a long time ago Oh that's why I'm seeing so many clips now Yeah well I got the right editor too
Starting point is 01:29:49 I mean I had camera guys But then I'd be like why did you stop it There Now I got it took trial and error Now I got the right team So that's why I think you're seeing me more in the algorithms And the clips are better Because they're actually capturing it
Starting point is 01:30:05 and they're edited it correctly, you know what I mean? So you're, so you were always doing that. You just got a team to actually capture it, edit it, and put it together. Yeah, thanks to Nate Jackson. Okay. I saw him here last week. We don't get it to Nate Jackson, but also, Lauren the Rosa, that's sitting to the right of you,
Starting point is 01:30:23 threw a shot at you, just, just, just you being here. It was another white comedian here, and I think she was trying to pick two white comedians against him. I saw that. Whoa, is the white comedian. Yes, and she just threw a shot at you. for no reason. And we didn't understand. Let's listen to the order for people like, don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 01:30:40 But they brought up the Kendrick Lamar thing. I listened to it. And all sudden, the girl that fills in for Jess hilarious that was there when I was there a few months ago, they said, you know, Kendrick has never really said who he's talking about. Andrew's like, how do we even know Kendrick was talking about me? Now, Envi, Charlemagne, and Schultz was like, we don't even know who Kendrick was talking about. He could have been talking about Gary Owen. And literally, the girl goes, ain't anybody checking for Gary O'am. I tell you, this girl,
Starting point is 01:31:09 and I can't remember her name. I don't know what her issue with me is. But I'll be like, what? How did I catch a stray? Ain't anybody checking for Gary Owen. And I'm like, well, just did 12 shows in Baltimore.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Somebody check it for me. Word. I love. Word out Nashville this weekend. Somebody checking for me. Yeah. It reminded me it was like when Tyrese got mad at me because I said a joke.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Like, in her mind, I'm not a real celebrity. I'm not a real entertainment. She doesn't take me serious. Yeah. She doesn't feel. I bet you in her mind if she was booking the show, she wouldn't have me on. I bet you in her mind she goes, no, no, no, no, no. Gary, you like that.
Starting point is 01:31:49 So why, no, no, no, hold on. Why, Laura? No, first, first, before we ask me questions. Do you know my name now? Yeah, Lauren La Rosa. Okay, you didn't know what then. From Delaware, with the Delaware State. Oh.

Starting point is 01:32:08 But why I throw this shot in? Why don't you do that to me? First of all, it wasn't a shot. What? You are, I, okay, so I have a- It was a shot. Can you be quiet? All right.
Starting point is 01:32:17 I have a tendency to say things and I don't think much of it, but then I'm realizing that people, it hits people differently because I thought I was saying that during that time, it was very clear what Kendrick Lamar was talking about because Andrew Schultz in the conversation that he had was all over the, the news and then the Kendrick Lamar stuff happened so Gary Owen don't be all over the news
Starting point is 01:32:38 Gary Owen don't be all over the news do but I had a show with Kendrick Andrew's never worked with Kendrick at the same time you all know what I'm talking about like it was very clear at the time what was happening it wasn't a dig at you it was like a I thought we all saw the same thing I saw hmm like we said that was the guy wow I think I think you were celebrity no I just want content I want you to react it's me I know what me Lord I don't take none of this personal. And if I'm doing a rant, I'm like, yeah, they'll probably pick this up. And sure enough,
Starting point is 01:33:09 took that bait. No, I mean, look, no, I saw you in your car. It took our views was good. Yeah. It helped out, it helped both of us out. Now look, then they're going to clip this up. And we're still riding that Kendrick train. So you had a crazy divorce, and it's finally over. You moved on and everything is good. So you've been,
Starting point is 01:33:25 you spoke about your relationship with your kids. Has that gotten any better at all? Son got, right after I left here last time, son got a hold of me. So now we're good. He was just in Vegas with me last, two weeks ago. How did y'all make that right? He saw the interview?
Starting point is 01:33:38 He didn't see the interview. He had an issue at his job and he needed my help, needed my advice. So he just called out of left field. It was funny because Adam, my open, we're in Philly and he matched with this girl
Starting point is 01:33:51 on Tinder. And he goes, yo, I got a feeling this girl's trying to catfish me. Can you go to the bar with me just to play wingman? I go, all right. So we're walking to the bar and my phone rings.
Starting point is 01:34:01 It's my son. I looked up and I go, my son's called me and he looked at me and I go my son ain't called me like three years so I picked up I said good luck with your tinder date I hope she's legit but I'm out so we talked for like three four hours at night and then yeah
Starting point is 01:34:16 we're we're as close as ever now it just took time daughter is still nothing but she's gonna be a tough one to crack have you attempted to reach out to your daughter since always yeah I always do but you know I don't have I don't have any I don't have a way to contact her
Starting point is 01:34:34 She's not on social media She got a new cell phone So I have I have no way Other than an email Yeah, she's told her brother Not to give you her number Well, it's little different than that I'll keep that between them
Starting point is 01:34:48 I'll keep that between them I don't want everything I'll be on the breakfast club Yeah But that's good What was that initial conversation like Was it like? With my son?
Starting point is 01:34:55 Yeah, was it natural? Was it like hey, how's it going It was like hey dad We haven't spoke to speak Like, how was that conversation after three years? Because it's still your son. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you still got a place for y'all.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Yeah, the first thing he said was, dude, I know we got a lot to work on. And I know we'll get to it. But I really need your help with this problem right now. So I went into immediate, like, dad mode. Like, all right, this is what we got to do. And then it just so happened. I was going to be in the Bay Area like two weeks later. And that's where he lives.
Starting point is 01:35:24 So the phone call happens two weeks later. We got to reconnect. And then he ended up flying. back to Houston with me. I said, you want to fly back Monday when I fly back? Because yeah, because you know, I got the twins. So he got to meet the twins.
Starting point is 01:35:39 And then everything's good now. He's got it, you know, he's got his favorite already. I love it. Now, be honest, when you first seen that number, did you think it was a money call? Like, you know, like, because you know when your kids call, it's either they're in prime or they need some money? Oh, no, he has no problem.
Starting point is 01:35:53 That's for money. Okay. That's not an issue with him. Let me tell you. That's not a good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was like this. Ooh, you're making up for that three years.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Yeah. So it wasn't a money call. I need some advice. No, that wasn't a money call. There's been money call since. That's natural. Yeah, you're dad. Yeah, I'm dad.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Did you have a moment where you like, because last time you were here and you talked about it, it was a bit emotional for you, is. Did you have a moment where you were like, ooh, okay, like, I finally got to the point where me and my son are reconnecting. You were able to, like, take it in and like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, I was like, I was like, I was. was able to like be honest with them about the divorce it had nothing to do with you that's
Starting point is 01:36:34 between me and your mom because i think he i think and maybe my daughter feels that way too i think they probably think they had something to do with it and i was like dude it had nothing to do with you nothing so yeah you got you you kind of replay the the years lost in your brain but then where we're at now you know we're good yeah i didn't miss a wedding i didn't miss like him having kids or anything like that so i think that would be that would be tough like if my daughter ever when she does get married my god i hope we're we're back in touch by then you know what i mean walker down the aisle yeah all that do you change how you do your jokes now because like i mean from this point on because your son's watching and you know all the things and you had jokes about
Starting point is 01:37:15 the divorce and all that stuff did y'all talk about that no he's he's got a dark sense of humor like i do so he was good with it how was your son 24 oh yeah yeah he's an adult now yeah he's an adult now Yeah, so no, he's good. He'd be cracking up. And then, you know, it's funny because now he's kind of hanging out at the comedy club up there in the Bay Area. Because when I did the show, I brought him up there. And everybody knew him from back in the day. We used to come around.
Starting point is 01:37:39 So now he's kind of hanging out there a lot. So he's kind of hanging out there a lot of the comedians. So it's been good because I think I've been cool with most comedians, unlike Jess, you know, with Damon. I mean, at one. It's already sold out. It's already sold out. We added Sunday. It's sold out.
Starting point is 01:37:55 Oh, you want to talk about Atlanta next week? Sold out. We did add a show Sunday in Atlanta. And then in two weeks, I got 11 shows in D.C. They're sold out. I know that's right, girl. You're going to talk about it. No, you better talk about this.

Starting point is 01:38:21 I know what you're not going on them sold out days. No more divorce jokes because it came up in court on mediation. Oh, I know, with that, with that thing. It came about mediation. I was going to let you rock until you, so that out. Yeah, that was funny, though. I can't even lie. I was a good one.
Starting point is 01:38:33 I never, even like the same thing. If I'm talking about jazz, we're talking about Lauren, it's all content. Even in the divorce, I was like, even with the mediation, it was content. Like, I was acting like I was serious. I was like, that's kind of funny. You know what I mean? It's just. And it's like, I know the lawyers don't even know when to take you serious.
Starting point is 01:38:51 This is what I learned. This is the biggest thing I learned. I hope anybody's getting a divorce. Listen, and you hear it all the time. Get to a point where you're cordial with your ex and you guys decide what you want to do that's fair to everybody. Because this is when I knew
Starting point is 01:39:06 these lawyers are playing us. We were held up for a couple weeks over life insurance. She wanted to take out like a, I think it was like a $5 million dollar life insurance policy on me, right? On you? Yeah, on me in case I passed away, so she's good, right? Yeah, but she's got to play the premium.
Starting point is 01:39:22 I'm not paying it. So my lawyer went back. I'm going forward to her lawyer over that's too much for life insurance. I said, I'm dead. I don't care what it is. She's paying for it. I don't care what my policy is. They go, well, I don't think the life insurance should be bigger than the divorce settlement.
Starting point is 01:39:37 I go, who cares? When I realized I'm getting the bill like, okay, why am I getting charged every email over the... I said, it's done. Give it to her. I'm done. And then when I finally get to a point where you're like that, I go, this is so pointless. They will literally find one thing to keep it going. And that kept it going for a couple weeks.
Starting point is 01:39:58 The dang, if I'm dead, how much does she get? And you're like, I don't care. I'm not paying the premium. All I do is get a physical. That's right. And they're just getting your money, taking more money just to prolong it. And I finally told her, I was like, I finally got to a point where I called her. I said, look, we just got to get this over with.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Trust me on this. I said, yeah, I wasn't the best with fidelity, but I never did you wrong financially. You know what I mean? So she said, all right. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all called you? gorgeous
Starting point is 01:40:24 right every now and then it will creep back up like whoa you're really still mad what's up you're really still upset yes
Starting point is 01:40:33 I think it's funny I'm on stage a little bit like when I had the twins I randomly saw it airport and I say hey you know I had twins she goes yeah

Starting point is 01:40:53 it's fun That is not fun. She thought it was fun. She knows him by now. So anyways, she goes, there's just white arm and there's this white leg in the side of the picture. She goes, who's that? I go, the nanny. She goes, you have a nanny?
Starting point is 01:41:06 You have a nanny? We didn't have a nanny. I go, well, you met me at the wrong time. Y. If you was with me now, you would have a nanny. He's a borg. Gary, oh, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my God, I would have threw my drink at you.
