00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.720 I don't know what that's like, you know what I mean? 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.160 I don't know what it's like to have a parent where my homeboy didn't have nothing. 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.960 And I just naturally be like, yo, you come eat over here. 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.400 And I ask my mom when I get there. 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.440 Then later she made fun of me. 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.799 Like, nigga, you know what I mean? 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.559 But I'm just thinking, I know if I cut back on my wings, he'll have some wings. 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.359 Just on some like, I don't know, it's just kind of how I was raised. 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:55.839 You feel me? 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.400 Now, you get to LA and you do harden up a little bit. 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.319 Like I've had some instances where people try to play you. 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:02.240 You gotta put them to the side, you know what I mean? 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.799 And I maybe don't have those same relationships, you know what I mean? 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:06.240 But you know, I think overall. 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.400 Can you say names and social security numbers? 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.400 You know, I don't ever want to do that too. 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.119 I think the comments get on the mic and they'd be like, and then this would happen. 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.480 Right now, I'll just talk to you. 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:15.680 You know I'm gonna like you. 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.200 That's a fact. 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.559 You wouldn't know a city don't like you. 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:21.920 You can say their name, and I'll just be like, oh, that's a good question. 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:24.400 Um the man. 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.160 You figured out we talk about this all the time. 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.480 You in LA, you're trying to figure it out. 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.759 It was all right, whatever. 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.240 And then at some point in time you realize there's money out here. 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.720 There's like real life-changing bread. 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.599 And then now the question becomes, how do I get to it? 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.279 You write on a lot of different things. 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.960 But where does the discipline of writing come from? 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:57.839 Because I know when you have a project, you almost have to lock the door, not go outside as a comic and hands-on keys to get it done. 00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.279 Where did you learn that discipline? 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.039 I don't have a degree. 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:07.200 Like I don't have like a like people be assuming maybe because of my style of comedy that I'll be like, I have a degree, I was in school for a long time. 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.119 Now I stopped going to school immediately. 00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:09.680 You know what I mean? 00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:15.759 So like this was like I literally treated stand-up like my school, and it was like, if there's money here, I just gotta figure out how to get to that money. 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.119 So like I didn't know how to write like that. 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.799 Hell Date, when I wrote on Hell Date, it's not like a not to be funny, I'm writing situations. 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.519 I'm not writing situations. 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.240 Is that the first one?

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:06.399 And I think like a pastor, like I told you this before. 01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:10.720 Like a good pastor breaks down an analogy that makes you want to give your life to Christ at the end of the service. 01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:13.279 It's because his words, his analogy kind of gets you. 01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:18.560 So I'll be like, in my stand-up, my first premise is it's good, you get it. 01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:20.159 You get it, you understand? 01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:23.680 Now, what's the analogy that's like the joke coming from the side? 01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:27.840 Not the front door, but like, you know, I mean, I teach that too somebody in a house, Ian taught me this. 01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:30.239 In a house, what's the quickest way to get in? 01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:31.680 Wrong. 01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:33.600 That's just the only way everybody knows the game. 01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:33.840 Right. 01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:34.960 You get into the back window. 01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:36.399 That's where your punchline comes from. 01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:37.039 True, true, true. 01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:37.520 You know what I mean? 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:39.760 Because if everybody comes into the door, everybody knows that's the entry. 01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:41.199 So break the fucking window. 01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:45.039 So then you're writing, if it comes too easy, yeah, I think that's a front door. 01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:46.079 How do I afford it? 01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:49.119 But it takes discipline to say that's too easy. 01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:51.039 I don't give a damn what the crowd says. 01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:54.000 The crowd might be like, ah, gotta, you know what I mean? 01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:54.720 Don't matter. 01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:56.399 So like that's kind of how I like how. 01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:05.840 So the the just to the analogy, even though people use the front door, but does that make it easy because it's the the obvious? 01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:06.239 Yes. 01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:07.039 Right, right, okay. 01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:09.039 Obviously, easy kind of the same. 01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:09.840 Yeah, okay, gotcha. 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:13.119 It's like when you break into a house, everybody finna see me as a ring camera. 01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:14.159 I need to break in that bitch. 01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:14.399 Right. 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.880 Um, do you know you you do so much writing?

01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:35.039 And if not, do you know the project that'll put you in the place that you want to do? 01:10:35.359 --> 01:10:36.640 Like, have you started writing that? 01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:38.079 If if you if if so. 01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:40.319 Is it a TV show?
