And if you're a young comic and you're listening, Don't take this the wrong way. Take this as an OG helping you out so you can get future work. When you are the host, the master of ceremonies, can you do some damn jokes? I don't know what it is that all these new hosts that just want to do crowd work and talk to the audience. Bro, it drives me insane. So you ain't set them up for nothing. They ain't set up for no comedy.
00:04:32
Speaker 2: At all, bro.
00:04:34
Speaker 3: Like our host, and shout out, I ain't trying to mess on the comic, but I'm like, yo, do some material, bro. This is the thing, though, James.

Speaker 3: You think everybody in this audience know your set back before?
00:05:04
Speaker 2: No. Come on. And it ain't about you as the MC also.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be setting up the people behind you that come on that stage when you get done.
00:05:13
Speaker 2: And you can't do that if you get on stage and your whole thing. Who's celebrating? Is you married? How long you been married? Who's dating? Like, yo, do some jokes, bro.
00:05:26
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of people are like, my host ain't got to be funny.

Speaker 2: If you're hosting for Ken Miller, you got to be funny. Thank you. Who said you ain't supposed to be funny as a host? People have that.
00:05:36

Speaker 3: His people are cool. His audiences are cool. You know what I'm saying? Now, I will say a lot of them have never been to a comedy show before, so they don't know.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: How to act. But I straighten them out because I tell them to shut their ass up. Do you really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Do they yell stuff?
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Because a lot of Wicks' stuff has to do with Publix. Are they yelling Publix references out the whole time? While he's on stage, now when me and Mike get on stage, they.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: Know what's up. Okay. All right. They scared of me and Mike. Okay. Because I know Wicks always got some kind of Publix snack in.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: His hand and his flip phone and whatnot. And he's known for Publix. And I love Publix. I know, who is it, Miguel? Me and him go back and forth about he don't like Publix subs. And we're going to have to disagree on that because I love you. I do now.
00:13:02
Speaker 2: I hated him. You knew I could stand them things, bro. It was the bread. It was the bread. Now they got the salt bread. Now they got the salt bread. I'm with it. I'm with the salt bread. All day, baby. All day. Pause. Boy's head. All day. Pause.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: With our money, bro. We earned it, man.
00:23:35
Speaker 3: I got to a point. I think when I started working at Parker Brothers... I can't tell you if.
00:23:41
Speaker 2: My mama ever bought me anything else. Because you bought it yourself.
00:23:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:23:45
Speaker 2: And you took pride in that, man. Hey, I bought you. Took pride in it. And when you buy it yourself. Go ahead. You work all summer so I can get my school clothes.
00:23:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. And couldn't wait to spend that money I had, man, because I saved it up. It meant something because I put in work to get that. But we different. Like, I still got stuff that I had in high school. just because it lasted that long. My wife thinks I had to get rid of it finally, but I just had stuff in here that never just went bad because we didn't have growing up. We were poor, so the things I worked for and I got, I took care of them, brother. I had sneakers from back in the day, jeans from back in the day, but then they took baggy.
00:24:23
Speaker 2: Ways, so I got rid of all that stuff. Hey, man, you know my story. I still got my original Nintendo. Bro.
00:24:32
Speaker 3: I showed up to basic training with that thing. They was looking at you like, where'd you get that from?
00:24:38
Speaker 2: I told them, I said, I'm not going back home. No, I'm not going back home. I'm with you.
00:24:42
Speaker 3: I said, I'm not going back home. I said, I brought everything with me. They locked that thing up in the car. It was weird because one of my drill sergeants, I had a white drill sergeant and I had a black drill sergeant.
00:24:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:24:56
Speaker 3: And the black drill sergeant, the white drill sergeant was my guy, but the black drill sergeant understood. He was like, I got you. I got you private. Locked my stuff up and I went through basic training. And when I left there, I left there with the clothes that I came from Greensboro with, my Nintendo. I went to my next duty station and my next duty station. And I said, I'm not going home.
00:25:18
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at you, Ken. I'm not.

00:29:56
Speaker 1: All right, Ken, I just wanted to shout out somebody real quick that we both know who is doing such wonderful work out there for her community.
00:30:03
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Robin Hoffman, who is a.
00:30:06
Speaker 1: Filmmaker, producer, director. She has celiac disease and so does my son. And she's trying to bring awareness to it. So she made a documentary and she.
00:30:15
Speaker 2: Had me be a part of it, man.
00:30:17
Speaker 1: And we got to see the world premiere last night at the Ritz Theater in Sanford. Shout out to everybody who came out and supported. It was an amazing event. My wife, who is, I think, really tough. critic when it comes to entertainment. Like she will tell you, you know, my wife can't, if she don't like something, she will tell y'all the truth. If y'all don't believe me, this is a short story about my wife. I did a comedy contest one time. It wasn't doing well. She grabbed the light from the MC and lit my ass to get off the stage.
00:30:48
Speaker 2: That's my wife.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: If you know, Michelle death, her, I was looking at her the whole time and she was laughing.
00:30:54
Speaker 2: She was crying at parts and.
00:30:55
Speaker 1: They would bring up my comedy that I was doing in between all the different serious parts. And she was actually enjoying it. She said, baby, that was absolutely amazing. So shout out to Robin Hoffman and Lisa Goldman, the executive producer for producing Gluten is a Joke. It's a great documentary about people that have celiac and how so many people don't understand it and just dismiss it. And they don't understand how these people suffer each and every day. It's something that my son's going to be proud to see because he has celiac as well. She already has it distributed on three different platforms, but she didn't reveal what they are yet. So I can't wait for her to tell us. And I can't wait for people out there to see it, man. So I just want to thank her again for letting me be a part of it.
00:31:35
Speaker 2: This woman's amazing. She did a great job. So it's a joke. We love Robin, man. Shout out to Robin, bro. Yeah. Great person, man.

Speaker 3: And she loves comedy. She loves stand up comedy. She's been around us for a while. Matter of fact, I did this thing about right before COVID about true stories.
00:32:06
Speaker 2: And she recorded it for me.
00:32:08
Speaker 3: And we never released it because the only reason I didn't want to release it because we took so long to get it out. And then every 40,000 comedians were doing these true story things.
00:32:18
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to be there.
00:32:20
Speaker 3: But now I'm like, yeah, but now I want to go ahead and do something with it, man. I've been trying to get my fan page up. And so I think I'm going to start doing it on my fan page, man.

00:03:52
Speaker 3: Wednesday, though, it was me and Mike Hurley. Me and Mike Hurley was co-headliners. I'm going to start with this, bro. And if you're a young comic and you're listening, Don't take this the wrong way. Take this as an OG helping you out so you can get future work. When you are the host, the master of ceremonies, can you do some damn jokes? I don't know what it is that all these new hosts that just want to do crowd work and talk to the audience. Bro, it drives me insane. So you ain't set them up for nothing. They ain't set up for no comedy.
00:04:32
Speaker 2: At all, bro.
00:04:34
Speaker 3: Like our host, and shout out, I ain't trying to mess on the comic, but I'm like, yo, do some material, bro. This is the thing, though, James.
00:04:46
Speaker 2: Talk to me.
00:04:47
Speaker 3: They have this thing where they're like, well, I do this club all the time so they know my material. I do the improv all the time. I do the same material. Yeah.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: Somebody here has not heard you.
00:05:00
Speaker 3: You think everybody in this audience know your set back before?
00:05:04
Speaker 2: No. Come on. And it ain't about you as the MC also.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be setting up the people behind you that come on that stage when you get done.
00:05:13
Speaker 2: And you can't do that if you get on stage and your whole thing. Who's celebrating? Is you married? How long you been married? Who's dating? Like, yo, do some jokes, bro.
00:05:26
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of people are like, my host ain't got to be funny.
00:05:29
Speaker 2: If you're hosting for Ken Miller, you got to be funny. Thank you. Who said you ain't supposed to be funny as a host? People have that.
00:05:36
Speaker 3: Because, you know, people have these, everybody got their comedy, great comedy works, you know, because it's the host, and then the feature gets better, and then the hair, like the show gets better. No, I need the show to be up here at all, the whole show. I don't want the show to start down here and work as well.
00:05:53
Speaker 2: No. I want that thing to be leveled. Bro, I'm going to.

00:12:12
Speaker 3: His people are cool. His audiences are cool. You know what I'm saying? Now, I will say a lot of them have never been to a comedy show before, so they don't know.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: How to act. But I straighten them out because I tell them to shut their ass up. Do you really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Do they yell stuff?
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Because a lot of Wicks' stuff has to do with Publix. Are they yelling Publix references out the whole time? While he's on stage, now when me and Mike get on stage, they.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: Know what's up. Okay. All right. They scared of me and Mike. Okay. Because I know Wicks always got some kind of Publix snack in.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: His hand and his flip phone and whatnot. And he's known for Publix. And I love Publix. I know, who is it, Miguel? Me and him go back and forth about he don't like Publix subs. And we're going to have to disagree on that because I love you. I do now.
00:13:02
Speaker 2: I hated him. You knew I could stand them things, bro. It was the bread. It was the bread. Now they got the salt bread. Now they got the salt bread. I'm with it. I'm with the salt bread. All day, baby. All day. Pause. Boy's head. All day. Pause.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: With our money, bro. We earned it, man.
00:23:35
Speaker 3: I got to a point. I think when I started working at Parker Brothers... I can't tell you if.
00:23:41
Speaker 2: My mama ever bought me anything else. Because you bought it yourself.
00:23:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:23:45
Speaker 2: And you took pride in that, man. Hey, I bought you. Took pride in it. And when you buy it yourself. Go ahead. You work all summer so I can get my school clothes.
00:23:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. And couldn't wait to spend that money I had, man, because I saved it up. It meant something because I put in work to get that. But we different. Like, I still got stuff that I had in high school. just because it lasted that long. My wife thinks I had to get rid of it finally, but I just had stuff in here that never just went bad because we didn't have growing up. We were poor, so the things I worked for and I got, I took care of them, brother. I had sneakers from back in the day, jeans from back in the day, but then they took baggy.
00:24:23
Speaker 2: Ways, so I got rid of all that stuff. Hey, man, you know my story. I still got my original Nintendo. Bro.
00:24:32
Speaker 3: I showed up to basic training with that thing. They was looking at you like, where'd you get that from?
00:24:38
Speaker 2: I told them, I said, I'm not going back home. No, I'm not going back home. I'm with you.
00:24:42
Speaker 3: I said, I'm not going back home. I said, I brought everything with me. They locked that thing up in the car. It was weird because one of my drill sergeants, I had a white drill sergeant and I had a black drill sergeant.
00:24:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:24:56
Speaker 3: And the black drill sergeant, the white drill sergeant was my guy, but the black drill sergeant understood. He was like, I got you. I got you private. Locked my stuff up and I went through basic training. And when I left there, I left there with the clothes that I came from Greensboro with, my Nintendo. I went to my next duty station and my next duty station. And I said, I'm not going home.
00:25:18
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at you, Ken. I'm not.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: I was going to do 20 years. That was your plan. That was my plan.
00:25:29

00:25:56
Speaker 1: It's different because kids nowadays will come home and it's all good. But we wanted the freedom to make our own decisions. I didn't want to live under nobody's rules anymore. I wanted to be gone. I didn't do nothing different. I just wanted to be gone. Like, I thought I was going to.

00:29:56
Speaker 1: All right, Ken, I just wanted to shout out somebody real quick that we both know who is doing such wonderful work out there for her community.
00:30:03
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Robin Hoffman, who is a.
00:30:06
Speaker 1: Filmmaker, producer, director. She has celiac disease and so does my son. And she's trying to bring awareness to it. So she made a documentary and she.
00:30:15
Speaker 2: Had me be a part of it, man.
00:30:17
Speaker 1: And we got to see the world premiere last night at the Ritz Theater in Sanford. Shout out to everybody who came out and supported. It was an amazing event. My wife, who is, I think, really tough. critic when it comes to entertainment. Like she will tell you, you know, my wife can't, if she don't like something, she will tell y'all the truth. If y'all don't believe me, this is a short story about my wife. I did a comedy contest one time. It wasn't doing well. She grabbed the light from the MC and lit my ass to get off the stage.
00:30:48
Speaker 2: That's my wife.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: If you know, Michelle death, her, I was looking at her the whole time and she was laughing.
00:30:54
Speaker 2: She was crying at parts and.
00:30:55
Speaker 1: They would bring up my comedy that I was doing in between all the different serious parts. And she was actually enjoying it. She said, baby, that was absolutely amazing. So shout out to Robin Hoffman and Lisa Goldman, the executive producer for producing Gluten is a Joke. It's a great documentary about people that have celiac and how so many people don't understand it and just dismiss it. And they don't understand how these people suffer each and every day. It's something that my son's going to be proud to see because he has celiac as well. She already has it distributed on three different platforms, but she didn't reveal what they are yet. So I can't wait for her to tell us. And I can't wait for people out there to see it, man. So I just want to thank her again for letting me be a part of it.
00:31:35
Speaker 2: This woman's amazing. She did a great job. So it's a joke. We love Robin, man. Shout out to Robin, bro. Yeah. Great person, man.

Speaker 3: And she loves comedy. She loves stand up comedy. She's been around us for a while. Matter of fact, I did this thing about right before COVID about true stories.
00:32:06
Speaker 2: And she recorded it for me.
00:32:08
Speaker 3: And we never released it because the only reason I didn't want to release it because we took so long to get it out. And then every 40,000 comedians were doing these true story things.
00:32:18
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to be there.
00:32:20
Speaker 3: But now I'm like, yeah, but now I want to go ahead and do something with it, man. I've been trying to get my fan page up. And so I think I'm going to start doing it on my fan page, man.
