C
I appreciate it. I'm just working, man. Not like you guys. Four months.
B
Oh, yeah, he's.
C
I'm still. I am still caught up. I took six weeks off, and it was horrible the first two weeks.
B
It's bad.
A
It's bad. We told you, it's been bad.
C
You detox. You, like, you trying to detox. Like, I'm waking up. Like, you know how many times I done pack clothes on a Thursday thinking, I got a flight on Friday? Like, nope.
B
Yeah, you're home, and it's with nothing to live for. I don't know. You're just going every day.
A
Here's how bad it is. I'm still living out of my shaving kit. Like, my mind is still there in, like, a weird way.
C
I'm looking at the same people in my house. I'm like, no new people. This is terrible.
A
Yeah, it's been a rough, worst summer ever. Say that right now. I can't wait to get back out on the road.
B
Yeah, it's. It's a. It's a. It is a perspective changer for sure.
C
And then when you come back, you. You so rusty. It's time in this.
B
It's bad.
C
I look back at the first show. When I came back, I was like, oh, wow, look at this great open micr.
A
This kid's got potential.
C
Yeah, he can be something if he keep doing it.
B
Yeah. What's his second, third time? This guy's pretty good.
A
We kept up with the city spots, trying to get ready for the tour and all that stuff, but. But, yeah, it's not that. It's the days. There's just not much to do during the day.
C
Oh, man.
A
It's how guys get on heroin.
B
That's his way of telling us he's doing heroin.
A
If I had a number, it might be a bad problem. Can't find nobody. I go around the high school, I go around the store. Nobody's got a connection.
C
He said, if I had a number, I have no numbers. It's been rough. I came back, and when I come off vacation, I started doing the clubs for a couple weeks. And I don't have a problem with the clubs. It's the fans that want to tell me, oh, man, you too big to be in the clubs. I'm like, did you ever say that to DL Or Bill Burr?
A
I see other people in clubs working things out. Yeah. What do you mean?
C
I'm like, they touring the clubs. Like, how is it Me, I'm too big to be in the clubs. I'm just now coming back. I know that I'm going back to the theaters, but you can make pretty significant money. And that's the thing that a lot of these. Significant money, these comics are starting to do because they're featured on other people's theater tours. That's not your tour. So for you to downplay the clubs. Do you know how much money you.
A
Can make the club for seven shows?
B
Listen, we do it. We do clubs during the week. We'll go Wednesday, third, you know, Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday. City Hit club.
A
Shout out to the Charlotte Comedy Zone.
B
Yeah, shout out to it.
C
What?
B
That's a great. That room is so good.
C
Big up to Charlotte comedy. I'm on the wall.
A
That's a check and a half, man.
B
Wednesday night.
A
Chicken fingers ain't bad either.
C
It's a great check. Check. I've gotten a check from comedy.
A
Sure.
C
And this is the thing about.
A
Was there more seats in here? I didn't realize.
C
It's crazy.
A
Yeah, it's crazy.
C
It's. It's one of these things that I think younger comics are taking on the cachet of more seasoned comics. And then they only want to play the theaters. The improv. They only play theaters or they want to just play the improvs or the funny bones. What. What about the comedies? Or they have 40 some rooms.
A
Get down there.
B
Hit me up.
C
What about Rick Bronson's?
B
How's it kind of.
C
What about Hilarities?
B
Hilarities is great.
C
Zany's in Nashville is awesome.
A
That's where we saw you. Yeah, that's where we saw you.
C
Like, what is wrong with these other clubs that people. The Loony Bend, Go to the Cellar, Go to the Comedy Store. It's other clubs other than the improv and the funny bone.
B
Sure.
C
Now, if you want to. If you doing this for vanity, like I tell people, Netflix is kind of like a vanity.
B
Sure, yeah.
C
Oh, I'm on Netflix. Okay. Well, you know, it's other platforms that you can get a bag from. If that's what you. If you seeking out to do or you trying to build your fan base, you put out a special. I. I want to say that's only.
A
A bag to a few people, too. Rest of it's you getting retail.
C
I definitely want to say this. Every our set that people are putting out, we gonna have to stop titling them specials, like, because there's nothing this is a set. This is an hour.
B
Ali wants to smoke.
C
This is not a special. It doesn't have any perspective to it. No legs. I can't learn nothing from it. Yo, you ever. You ever shitted with your boots on? Like, that's not a special.
B
That was my one bit. All right, Relax. This fucking guy coming here, trashing me on my own goddamn show.
A
Ali's starting beef with Howie Mandel.
C
I didn't say nobo. What, man? Every. And then they sent them. No. Let me tell you why this is a problem with me. Because people know that I am producing people's specials. You know, I did Marcus D. Wildey special. I'm finna drop some other people's specials that I have done, and some people that I'm distributing, but they send them to me.
B
And you then have to.
C
I understand the industry now.
A
Gotcha.
C
Now I'm like. I'm just like this. Okay. Wow. This is what you want me to do? Okay? Then I send a mess back, okay? With notes. I'm sending people notes on specials that they've already shot. It's nothing. You gotta send this to me before you shoot it. And then I have to say, and this is the hard part. And these are friends, man.
A
The last thing I would want is notes from you. Crucify me.
C
And these are. People have to say this very kind to. Hey, this is not what I'm looking for at this time.
B
We're gonna pass.
C
I gotta pass on people. Like, man, I'm like, okay. And then there's people that I'm helping write, and I see that there is a disconnect in their writing. And you're asking me to help you, like, do one liners. But it's. It's. It's rough because. Okay, you did that one liner. Then where do we go from here? A special has to have a.
B
A through line of something. Yeah.
C
It has to have some sort of through line. Has to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. You have to be able to wrap it up at the end. It's like, yo, bruh, I don't even. Especially if you come to me. If you don't even have a title yet. I have. You have no title. So we are.
B
I do.
A
Listen. Everybody can't sit down in a chair and murder for an hour and a half. Some guys got to do fat jokes and airplane stuff. I don't know what to tell you.
B
And appreciate what your boots are.
C
See, we got a label. It's fat jokes. It has to have a through line.
A
Like fat jokes in there. Airplane observations.
C
Yeah.
A
And me on the COVID like this.
C
And then. And then it's hard to tell people that. They think that what they're saying is new. And then I send you five other people. So I would never say that.
B
That's crazy.
C
And. And some of it was better than what you said. And this guy has been doing it six weeks. You've been. You've been here 15 years, and you're doing something.
B
You gotta go live with Ollie, dude. He'll be like, what are you doing.
A
For the rest of the summer?
B
Writing material.
A
I'll work in the garden. I'll do whatever. Cut the grass, whatever.
C
I'm like, can you just give me. Okay, let's surround it. If you want to do all a bunch of one line. Okay, let's surround it with 30 minutes of something about your actual life, about you. And that's how we can build it. But I can't build something based upon everything in the news and everything that somebody else has said. Sure. Hey, man. Okay. When you over 40, you know you got to pee. Okay, We. We got it.
A
Got a pee. What the. That was in my 30 minutes.
B
We got it.
C
You know what I'm saying? Okay. Somebody 20 and somebody 40, they pee is different. We got it. We. It's been saved.
B
Did you watch his special before you came in?
C
It's like, damn. And they. Okay.
A
Ali Siddiq's comedy camp.
C
Indian food comes out fast. I got it. I said it already. I said it 15 years ago.
B
You write it down a pretty good bit.
A
You change that to Pakistani food. Keep it girls. Ali Siddiq's comedy camp. How fun would that be?
C
It would be.
A
Be like a major pain. That would be awesome.
B
Did you find a candy in your pocket?
A
Just lighting people up. Crunchy.
C
Women. Women are just man. Hey, bro. Okay.
A
That would be an idea. That'd be an awesome movie.
B
Yeah, that's so funny, dude.
C
It's a. It's a thing, so. And I just don't under. I don't understand. As a more seasoned comic, I'm still trying to get better. Like, sure. Every man.
A
You understand why everybody else stinks. That makes sense.
C
I think we do.
A
We stink.
C
No, people are good.
B
Remember when he came to our show? He's like, I'm gonna hang out and back and watch. I'm like, I'm about to pull the goddamn fire alarm. Fuck you talking about Sending it back and watch.
A
That's funny. We all just got Covid polygos.
B
You want to put him up I go, he ain't going in front of me. You fucking nuts. Have him close out.
A
I was going to do the checks, turn the lights on, then bring you up. See how good he is now. Still up there killing.
C
It's like. That's how I started. Started like that. Like, yo, I. I started in this spot, like. And this is where it's crazy because I used to have different rooms. I have like four rooms in a week. And every room levels you up to the improv and you the first room with this room called diallos. And Diallos, if you make it through diallos, Diallos is so crazy. I'm the host and they don't give a damn about me. All of you better be on tonight. I'm like, hey, bruh, I've been doing my thing up here for weeks. I don't give a damn. That was last week. You was funny last week. They got nothing to do with today. He had a heart. And it's people that be walking on the stage with their drinks just standing right in your face.
A
It reminds me. It sounds like mochas.
C
They talk about you ain't got and tell you in your face you ain't got it.
B
One of the harshest echoes I ever had was at the Laugh House on South street in Philadelphia. And a woman in the front, she told me you ain't funny and your head big and it fucking. I mean, I thought the flop sweat that started once she said that.
C
Yeah, yo, but it's the training camp of going up. Then you would do the worst room. I think my worst room was this room, the Red Cat. It was.
B
I wouldn't step bomb at the Red Cats.
C
And the craziest thing about the red cat, it's 90% all just gorgeous women. And you're bombing in front of them because they start chit chatting at they table. Like if you couldn't get them, it was just. And I'd just be sitting on the sideline like, just get out.
B
Yeah, just say good night. Just wrap it up, wrap it up.
C
Just say goodnight. And they, ah. It was. I was like, yo, man, they will silence you out. When I start hearing the chatter. And they like, yeah, like you on stage and they're like, yeah.
B
So it's like wildfire. You feel it grow through the crowd.
C
Wow.
A
The first guest spot I ever had to Ray put me up at Warm Daddy's in Philly. Yeah, he was great. We started at the Laugh House and that's where I hosted for the five years that we were down in Philly and, you know, got up to feature and all that kind of stuff. It was me, Cotton Cassidy, Ian financing, Richie Resin, of course, and Richie Redding. And it was quite the education, as you would know. Gives me a spot at Warm Daddy's. It's like a Sunday. It's packed out, everyone looks good, food's going around, everybody's fresh. And I go up there and I do like a 10 minute bit about sledding and skiing. Silence.
B
You've ever been to Aspen?
A
He comes up, he's like, hey, man, don't worry about. He's like this motherfucker talking about skiing in front of a room full of black people that murders my shirt. Blew off me as I was getting off the stage.
C
I'm going to say this. I have never been so jealous in my life because I was going to let it just slide by because you said you performed at the Laugh House in Philly, then you came back with the Laugh House in Philly. Do you understand? The Laugh House told me that I was not good enough to come. They wouldn't book me at they spot.
B
Well, just for the record, we weren't good enough to be. Yeah, we just so happened to be there.
C
Like, they were like, no. Like they like, no, no. Passing. Constantly passed on me. So when I finally came to Philly, I came to the Punchline and I sold out like six shows. And then I just was like, was.
A
The Laugh House even still open?
C
And this is. I asked, I said, hey, I like to go by the Laugh House, you know, after the show. I was like. He was like, oh, it's closed. I'm like, yeah, wonder why.
B
Wonder why we have that too. At some places that pass it on so early in their career. You're like, ah, now what? Cause you know, every comic's crazy to an extent. At the end of the day, holds a grudge.
C
It was a spot in Houston, the last spot. Would never. Would never book me. It was the craziest thing. This guy that I got booked on the Tom Joyner Cruise, okay, I had never seen it set anything. He was a hypnotist. Hypno Bro. He passed away, rip to. You know, because Tom Jonah has this huge cruise.
B
His name was Hypno Bro.
C
Yeah, he was. He was. He was good too. He, Tom Jonah has this huge cruise, okay, for charity. It's like everybody's on there. Like, everybody. It's like artists and comics.
A
That'd be a fun cruise.
C
It's like, everybody. I opened up Earth, Wind and Fire. Everybody's on this boat. Right. A lot of comics make their bones on this boat, but I get him booked. I had never been on the boat before. I get him booked. This lady came and asked me about him. She said, hey, this is up to you, dude. You know this guy? He's from comic from Houston named Hypno Bro. I've never seen his performance ever a day in my life. And I said, yeah, him. They booked him. He went on. He did a good. He did a good job. I think he got booked again after that. So then the guy named Pete, who owned the lab spot. I'm Chris. Chris hall is trying to get me booked there, and the guy asked Hypno Bro about me and Hypno Bro say, well, I've never seen them perform in front of a white audience. Damn.
A
What the.
B
And Sam bagging son of a.
C
They. They. They didn't book me. And me and him never.
A
Was he white or black?
C
He was black. Hypno Bro was black.
B
You think Hypno Bro was white or black?
C
Yeah, I didn't. I'd never seen him. I'd never seen him perform. And I just vouched for. And I just vouched for him.
A
The white audience. What the fuck is that?
C
Perform at the Houston Empire with a mixed audience. What the hell does a white. I said, you know something? And I never. Like, we never spoke again. And he passed, and he passed. And I was like, oh, okay. But I was. I was sad that he passed, but I never spoke to him again. Like, you just did you just say that you never. What the hell does that have to do with me?
B
If anything, I've.
C
DL had never seen me perform in front of a white audience either. In the second time we went out, we went to Austin. We was at.
A
I've never seen him in front of an Indian audience.
C
Pakistani, we was at Cap City.
A
I know Italians don't like them. What the fuck?
C
It was more black people in the green room. It was me, DL And Derek Keener, and it was one other black person in the whole thing. He was the waiter. And, like. Like, yo, I'm like, what does the. What does the color have to do with.
A

You want to take care of the bugs and little critters going around the house, but you want to do it safe because you got kids and you got pets. Pesty is the way to go. We're talking about simple. We're talking about easy. We're talking about you could do it yourself. Kippy did it. I was over there the other day. Not mosquito one.
B
Not a bug in sight. My wife was on it before they were a sponsor. She schooled me on them. I didn't know about it. It's kind of cool. You feel? I made me feel like a man. You set it up. You bing, bang, boom, boom. And then it's like you walk around the perimeter of the house, around a door, around a window. Not an hour. You need bada bing, all the pets. The kids can go back Outside, it's easy peasy. And it's way cheaper than those pros out there, you know what I mean? The kit includes a reusable electronic sprayer. It's got a little hum to it, too. It's got the mixing bag, the pesticides, gloves, and instructions you can complete in less than 10 minutes. It was one of those things where my wife didn't believe me that it was done. She thought I lied. That's how she's like, what? Are you done? I'm like, yeah. She's like, you're not done. I go, go check the perimeter. Go see if you see any bugs out there.
A
Pesty. So easy, your wife won't believe you. That's pretty good.
B
Take that to the bank.
A
There you go. Copyright.

A
Yes.
B
Like, you never say trash them to the. You know, because you don't know. You don't just. Oh. The best you can say is, no, I'm not that for me, I don't know. I know people that know him. I don't know him anything, but, like, you don't say anything.
C
Negative shot, you know, because I didn't see other people. I had seen other people. The last spot was the only time I've ever, in the history of my life wanted a comic not to be good. That was one. One time I got more. I'm. I'm four. I'm four months in doing. Doing Santa.
A
And they can't wanted a comic not to be.
C
Oh, yes, it sucks. I really did. So they kept talking about, you got to go to this open mic. You got to go to this old mic, you know, to get started. So I go, I am number 27 on the list. He is 26.
B
Sure.
C
And we. I don't know why he was talking to me. He said, yeah, yeah, I've been doing comedy 20 years. And I was like, you had an old mic, you number 26, and you're number 26.
B
I was like, three, four something.
C
I was like, I hope he is not good, because if he is, I've been doing it four months. He's been doing it 20 years. I'm like, yo, it's gonna be a long way to go.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? If he's good and he was not, and I was like, no wonder you 26. And then when I came back to that spot maybe a year later to host the open mic, he's 38. He, like, still, like, 26, 27. And I had to bring him up. I was like. And this guy right here, when I started, yeah, I wanted to be good.
B
That makes sense, though.
A
I wanted to ask you about that. Since you brought up the green room. What's anything specific in the rider who's in there? Do you bring, like, when. When you show up to a show, you're not wearing what you're going to wear on stage. Right. You change it. Change in the green room. And not when you're working on stuff at the clubs, when you're doing, you know, theaters also.
B
I want to hear both, because, yeah, you're doing levity. You got. There's something. You got to make sure something's in a green room.
C
Oh, the. The rider. It was crazy. The same rider that's in the theater is in the. In the club.
A
That's funny.
C
Mountain. Mountain Valley. Spring water.
B
That's good water. That is good water.
C
White cheddar popcorn.
A
Smart food.
C
Yes.
B
Damn you. That'd be all over me before the show, though. That creates a film on your finger.
A
Wait, that's your snacky. Is the smart food.
C
Strawberries. Strawberries, Blueberries. Grapes.
A
Okay.
C
Tortilla chips with salsa.
A
Okay.
B
Do you have a preference on the salsa?
C
Yeah, it. I've had some good ones. So they don't. Every salt. Every place don't have the same salsa.
A
A lot of times they'll go local, which is nice.
C
Yeah. Which. And it's been. It's been some good. I've had some good ones. I think the. The worst one was some mango salsa. I wasn't in the mood for it, really. I'm not saying that it wasn't good. I just wasn't in the mood. I read the title and, like, I ain't want no mango, mango corn salsa. Yeah. I wasn't in the mood for it.
B
I'm right there with you. Never in the mood for mango corn.
C
Salsa, cheese, various cheeses, crackers, and what else? Oh, Celsius.
A
Celsius. Okay, that's solid. And who's usually rolling in there with you? Who's hanging out in the green room?
C
In the green room is the feature, of course. Dre, my road manager and the dj.
A
Okay.
B
That's right. I remember you say you roll with.
A
The DJ and then family. Whoever walk pops in. Hey, good to see you.
C
Actually, when I know that I'm having family, we get a side room and I put. And I cater the side room and have them most niggas is still my. My space.
A
Sure.
B
And you want your own personal space. You'll be like, hey guys, I'm going to dip out.
C
Especially in the theaters. They have multiple rooms.
A
Right, right.
C
But in the club I'm gonna set up something else for the family or had a family come back afterwards.
A
Gotcha.
C
And. And had a food catered. But I. I still need that. That own space.
A
Of course. Are you're changing when you get there completely?
C
No, I.
A
Are you what you're rolling with it on?
C
I just don't have on my shirt. Okay. The shirt is on the hanger.
A
Yeah. So don't get wrinkled.
C

C
Let's just go to the Garden.
A
You heard it here?
C
Yeah. What? Shout out to. You know, when you hear other comics did something accomplished something like when. Big shout out to Russell Peters. Because when I first heard Russell Peters, when Russell Peters sold out the garden for like, 90 days, I was like, okay. It was whatever. Ridiculous number. He sold it out. I was like, that's. That's big. And then I heard Andrew Schultz that sold out. You know, shout out to Schultze Cosby had always sold it out. But then I heard a youngin. One of. One of my young guys sold out. Matt Rife.

A
On that same tip of the. Of the green. So you just happened to mention on your way over that you had a run of the store. If you're at home, okay. And you're hanging out, whatever, around to the 7:11 or the whatever. Just to grab a couple snacks, or if you're on the road, all right. And we pull off to get gas or whatever, I'm gonna run in and grab something. What? What. What. What's that looking like? Is like. Is it a Gatorade? Is it cashews?

C
Yeah. All right. I'm 51. I keep it classy.
A

A
Okay. I'll give you that. Mr. Good Bar Shout out to you.
B
And back to the Capitol Grill. What are you ordering at the Capitol Grill? Do you have a go to?
C
Yes.
B
Because I gotta be honest, I was. I was peruse. I didn't know you could pick up at the Capitol Grill. I didn't know they did takeout.
C
Oh, man.
B
So I was perusing the. The menu last night with my wife.
A
Why?
B
Because we were thinking, oh, we got the baby, we can't go. No, not going there. I was going to go. Let's treat ourselves. Let's do a nice takeout dinner. We've been eating like shit.
A
I thought you were just being a fat ass and just looking at.
B
No, I get off looking at steakhouse. You're doing a filet to Tomahawk. The ribeye, the strip.
C
Sea bass.
B
No.
A
Hidden.
C
Their sea bass is amazing. Really. Caesar salad, sea bass, and a bowl of their clam chowder. Let me tell you why their clam chowder is the best in the United States.
A
I would have picked you for a.
C
Bisquey because I don't. I like lobster bisque, but theirs is not really that good.
A
Okay.
C
It's okay. But it's the clam chowder. And this, this bothers me. Every place in the United States outside of Capitol Grill, I don't eat. I don't eat pork. So I don't understand. Why would you put bacon in a clam chowder? I have no idea.
A
Sure. Okay.
C
Why it's happening. So Capital Grill is the only restaurant that I know that does not put bacon in there. Clam chowder. And it is deli. It is ultimately delicious without it. And I'm like, I don't. Because my grandmother was like this. She said, you don't use meat to season vegetables and you don't use meat. Other meat to season seafood. I'm saying. So you say, like, you. You can't cook if that's what you need. You know, it's like putting ketchup on something.
A
Sure. You don't season vegetables by adding meat.
C
And you don't season seafood by adding another type.
B
Yeah, why would. Yeah, why would you use bacon to season.
C
Why would you even need it? Like, you don't. You don't need a brisket. You don't need something else for a brisket.
B
Throwing chicken in There to give.
A
Put some drumsticks around, put a little.
C
Lamb on it, you know, it's a thing, you know, I've never. I don't have to put like. I cook okra and tomatoes a lot. It's no meat in it, you know, I don't need meat to season beans, you know.
B
That makes sense.
A
What do you do with the okra? Because I never really had it where I loved it.
C
Okay, so you had to saute it first with a little vinegar to get the slime out. If you don't like slime.
A
That's what I don't like the slime.
C
Yeah, yeah.
A
That throws me off when I get it fried. It's always in there.
C
And the craziest thing is you had get fresh okra. Fresh okra? Like grown fresh okra outside of store bought okra, it's totally different. Like the okra that's in my garden is. The seeds are sweeter than the okra that's in the store.
A
No kidding.
C
100%.
A
I want to see this garden so bad. I think about it. I sort of. I think about every but once a month. I think about.
B
You told us last time about the garden.
C
Yeah, yeah. I'm. And I, I clipped some okra the other day and I was riding down the street and I just stopped and gave. I say, man, you like okay? Like for sure. I just gave him a pile. I'm like this, this is what I can't take with me. Like an old farmer. Oh. So I have, I have. I can't wait to these figs out, right?
B
I have doing figs.
C
Yeah, I have two huge fig trees.
A
Just saw thinking about them last night.
C
Crazy. And they all, they just big and they all green right now. I just can't wait. And I, I just look at them and like, man, do y' all understand? I'm gonna sit under this tree and just pick them off. Cause it's my tree. I don't.
A
And eat them.
C
Yeah, and eat em.
A
You ever do anything with the figs where you do like, like a little bit of cheese in them and like they're roasted or anything like that?
C
Yes. Yeah, it's good feta.
B
An asshole.
A
Oh yeah, Feta.
C
Yeah, a little feta. And like I just got back from Greece and.
A
Really?
B
You did?
A
Where were you?
C
Santorini.
A
Get out of here.
C
Athens and Crete.
A
Very nice. We did last year. I did Athens and Santorini. Love it.
C
Santa, did you, did you take that sunset yacht ride?
A
I swear to God we were so. It's like a half Moon like that. We were in an Airbnb right up here where all those boats pull up.
C
Yeah. So I saw where you was living, man. Let me.
A
There's a, there's a pool right there. We're literally right there on the edge.
C
So we took this five hour because at first I didn't want to go. And then I was like, I'll go with my family. This was the best part of my trip. Yeah, it was absolutely beautiful. And I swam every place that they, they stopped. And so, you know.
A
Oh, you did that from island to island, from island.
C
You know, all the sulfur that's from the volcano. They had to wash us off when we got. This is the only place they had to wash us off. And all this orange soft was coming off me. I was like, yo, I'm losing my color.
B
Not too much.
A
I knew we shouldn't have came down here.
B
Forget how to cook that okra.
C
It was crazy. They cook for you on the boat. Oh, man, it was. I had a amazing time.
A
Yeah, food's nuts, isn't it? Kb let's talk about Quince.
B
Shout out to Quince.
A
Why drop a fortune on basics when you don't have to? Quince has good stuff. High quality fabrics, classic fits and lightweight layers for warm weather. All at prices that make sense. Everything I've ordered from Quince has been nothing but absolutely fantastic and solid. I'm telling you that right now.
B
Yes. They were kind enough to send us a little promo code. Kippy got it. Kippy got a little bit of gear. I got to tell you. They got these pants, solid color, good. Boom. Everyday comfortable pants that I wear them every day. And listen, I don't wash them every day. I wear them. Could wear them a week. You don't know. No one knows.
A
It's that lightweight fabric.
B
It's fantastic. They got the closet staples you want to reach for over and over. Like I said, just classic. Good pants and shirts. They got cotton sweaters, cashmere sweaters for just 50 bucks. Breathable flow knit polos and comfortable lightweight pants. Those are the ones I'm rocking. That work for both work and weekend hangs and dressed up dinners you can fall in. You change your shirt, you look like you're dressed up. You change your shirt, you look like you're dressed down. That's what you're doing. Keep it classic and cool with long lasting staples from quince. Go to quince.com garbage for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. That's a lot of time to return. Time that's Q U I n c e.com garbage to get free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com garbage do it.
A
Especially a fresh food guy. Isn't it crazy when you taste a tomato that's never been in a refrigerator?
C
Yep.
A
You're like, whoa. There's like something about, like the sun is, like, in there.
C
Yeah, it's crazy. And then my friends, I have nut friends calling me we in Greece. Hey, hey. I got a question. Got a question. What's up? Is it really called a Greek salad in Greece?
A
I'm like, you're a nutcase.
C
You're a nutcase. Is it something different in the salad? No, it's the same. It's actually a Greek salad.
B
That's so funny.
A
When you were on Santorini, did you go down to Halloumi Bay where, like the, where the, where there's up where everything is?
C
Yes.
A
But then on the one part you.
C
Go down in the donkeys.
A
Yes.
C
Yes.
A
Isn't that crazy how that stuff is, like, all built on the thing? It looks like something like Mesopotamia.
C
What. What did they. What did they tell me? It was like, how many steps it is? Either.
A
Too many for me.
C
It's like either you catch a ride. Either you ride the donkey, or you take all the steps to go up, to get up. And it's like maybe seven, eight.
A
It's a cliff. You're walking up a cliff.
C
It's a crazy number.
A
But it was so cool how that was all. It looked like a set from, like, Disney. Like how that was all built into the thing.
C
I knew it was definitely pirates for sure.
A
That's. Yeah, it gives a pirate vibe.
C
We went in these caves.
B
Sounded like one of your boys. Pirates here. Yeah. I got two questions. What's up with the salad pirates then?
C
They had the boats. They had the old. They had the old Viking pirate boats. Like, they, it was. It's. If you take the crew, they show you that it's pirates. Used to come there, used to roll around. It was, it was. I had a good time. I was. I was listening to the man talk. I was like, oh, interesting. Pirates.
B
I did that same. We went to Cabo San Lucas. I was like, oh, you don't see, hey, pirates. Yeah, man. We love. A guy loves pirates.
A
Yeah.
B
For some reason, the idea of being.
C
Pirates, if you think that, oh, they, like, somehow you gonna find the treasure that they love.
A
Oh, man.
B
I know.
A
Imagine being on the beach. You, like, just like, ran out a couple feet out in the water and you feel your toe on something to pull it up.
B
And it's just an old sand crab.
C
I found a ring.
A
You did?
C
I found a ring. We. I swam. We were swimming, and then me and my son and I just. When I dove down, I saw something shine. I came back. Boom. I was like, nice ring too. I just gave it back to the people. I said, hey, somebody lost this. I don't know. It could have been lost for I don't know how long, but it was a very nice.
B
Wow.
A
Find out. It was like Cleopatra's or something like that.
C
It was a nice range.
A
It was mine. Okay.
B
That was the last vacation. What do you have? Is there a vacation you have next.
C
That you're looking towards for the six weeks we went to What?
B
Six weeks?
A
Six weeks.
C
So, no, we went to Greece for 14 days.
B
Oh, in your six weeks off, you mean?
C
Yeah. Then we came back and we. We went to my family reunion in Dallas. And then.
A
How was that?
C
That was.
A
How was the food there?
C
That was. The food was excellent. I paid for all of the food.
B
I slipped that in my man.
A
I thought it was gonna be home cooking.
C
This is why. This is why I was paid for all the food. It was a definitely good trip. And then we left there. Went home for like two days, and then we left and went to Turks and Caicos, like 10 days.
B
Where'd you stay? Turks and Caicos?
C
Oh, south bank.
A
Coming back from Greece, going to the family unit. There had to be a couple cousins like this coming back from Greece.
B
They're sitting there talking about pirates and they're. Shut up, Ollie.
C
That's the craziest thing. My uncle, uncles, and my cousins, my aunts are very, very happy for me.
A
Gotcha.
C
They extremely.
A
Because I remember my cousins would come back from Disney, whatever. Like these. Going to Disney World.
C
Yeah. Yeah. That. That's the one thing that we don't have. Because my cousins. Anybody in my family know my money is their money. If you need something, I'm. I'm straight. I just give. I'm not even the richest person in my family. It's my Uncle Donald who did not come. Uncle Donald. I never forget Michael. Donald used to pass out $20 bills when we were young. And he would come to summer, he'd just pass our 20 bill that my Uncle David would be in the line. Everybody get in line.
B
He's there with a fake mustache, trying to get a second man. That's funny.
C
But Turks and Caicos is like. We go there a lot, though. You know, that's the. That's our country.
A
Spot, huh?
C
Yeah. Like, south bank is a fairly new resort. We was there when they first opened up, and then we came back, so they. They know our kids and everything.
A
That's nice.
C
But when we go alone, it's. It's the. What's that? Rock House is what we go.
A
I mean, you go with no kids.
C
Yeah, with no kids. You go with your. You go with your wife, go to Rock House.
B
I went with my whole family. We stayed. What's like, the big corporate one? Beaches.
A
Hedonism.
C
Beaches. Oh, you went to the fam. The Beaches, like the family.
B
Yeah. They were running out of food by lunchtime, and it was. Dude, it was like a FEMA camp. It was bad. They were running out of. We'd be like, can I get a. You know, vodka? And we're out of vodka. You're like, it's noon.
C
Yeah, we. And we looked at beaches like we was going somewhere. Like, I wonder what. What beach about. But we starving.
B
That's what you were looking up on the beach.
C
It's me dying is we never. We never stay there. But it's. Did you go to the Fish Fry? No. Oh, so y'. All. Y' all stayed at Beaches?
B
We stayed at Beaches. We took a boat one day out, like. Yeah. What's that place that Drake hangs out at that dock or whatever? What's it called? Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark.
A
I don't know.
B
I went to see if Drake was there.
A
You're waiting to say that?
C
Man, you. It's. When you. When you in Terps and Caicos, these are the things that you have to do.
A
Yeah.
C
Kevin, you have to go to the Conch Shack on Wednesday, which is a. Which is a great restaurant.
B
We're moving different, dude. I was. I was drunk in the kiddie pool by 2pm Rum punches.
C
I understand you go to. You go to Mr. Grouper for lunch, and then on Thursday, you go to the Fish Fry. I'm surprised that y' all didn't go, because this is not like I'm saying this. This is a thing that everybody on the island talks about the fish. Because.
A
Never been to a fish fry.
C
Everybody's there. It's like they have a booth with almost every restaurant on the island that's in. In this camp. And then they have a main stage. They have performers on the main stage. And then they have this crazy band. Maybe, like, I must say, 75 people in this band. And it is. It's crazy. And it's a. It's a really, really good time.
A
Conch Fritters. They got conch fritters down there.
C
Oh, man, they got conch everything. Crack salad, conch, fritters, conc, conch, everything.
B
This. This is a. This is a. This is a Turks and Caicos deep cut. Because they don't have like any sort of TSA pre check or anything down there. Do you pay for that service that comes and gets you?
C
I pay for the. The fast pass.
A
Wait, what? They don't have what that is.
B
Some they come and pick you up and like Escalades. It is some. You move presidential down there. You. It feels.
A
You mean. There's no. There's. Send it again.
B
There's no. There's. They call it the fast pass or something.
C
It's fast pass.
B
There's. It's like Disney World. There's no kind of preferential boarding regardless of.
A
At the airport.
B
What a status you are, what class of ticket. Nothing down there. It's like. It's like last chopper out of. Now. That airport needs a little update.
C
You got pre check on your ticket for no apparent reason.
B
You got nothing.
C
TSA PreCheck means nothing.
B
It means dick. It ain't Hell, I ain't never seen you, ain't never heard it. Take your shit, your shoes off to open your head. Everything.
C
Everything. You gotta get there.
B
And you show up. It's like. It's literally like, you know that they're evacuating the island. It's. It's. It's thousands of people. There's no lines. It's crazy, dude. It's crazy.
C
Airport is insane.
B
It's wild. Wild.
C
They lounge.
B
It's like a Greyhound bus station.
C
They lounge is the worst. That was crazy ever. They have a priority lounge there. And it's like, I look, I just looked in the room. I was like, it's just chairs.
B
It is.
C
It's like you just waiting to get a passport or something. It's just chairs.
B
Take the dmv.
C
It's crowd like, yo, we're not paying for that. So you just go upstairs where they have a lounge up there, the sky Lounge, and you just order your stuff and they put a little plastic container.
B
Yeah.
C
Oh, but that downstairs lounge. Oh, you wasting your time. Unless you want to be secluded. And if you want to know what prison is like, just go in there and just sit with your luggage. It's like, they, you know, like, you've seen that. That show Customs, like when somebody gets. It's like, you in there like, it's crazy town.
A
I love that.
B
But they call so you. It's Pretty inexpensive. It's not that. It's not crazy money. Like 100 bucks a person or something like that. Maybe more.
C
Yeah.
B
I don't know.
C
Fast pass for fastpass.
B
They come, they pick you up at your hotel. They did. They did us.
C
Yeah.
B
They tend. They. The drive to the airport, they drop you off, they walk you through security, like right past the line.
A
Put you right in there.
C
It's great right in there.
A
You get on the. You get on that plane outside. Yeah.
C
Walk on that plane.
A
Nothing like getting on a plane outside, you know?
B
It's hot as.
A
Feel like you're on vacation.
B
They cut. They cut that engine on, and I.
A
Feel like I'm in Magnum or something like that. I swear to God, like, I should have, like a duffel bag of coke or something on me when I'm getting.
C
On one of those greases like that.
A
Yeah, greases like that. We took the. The ferry from Athens to Santorini. That long ass one.
C
You took the ferry? I did, yeah.
A
The real long.
C
We took the ferry from Crete to Santorini.
A
Okay. We got the room and everything. I was too scared because there was no direct flights from New York to Santorini. And the flights from Athens that day or whatever, from Athens to Santorini, they were like, you're gonna die. Airlines.
C
No, it's. It's a pretty good airline.
A
They were. They were the ones. They were propeller planes.
C
Agent. Agentina. Agent. It's something today.
A
Agent. I'm not getting on it. They were a little.
C
They had a regular. They. This had a regular plane. I saw the ones that you're talking about. I was like, oh, no. The Fantasy island plane.
A
Yeah, well, we're circling the island. Wait, no way. I wasn't doing it. So I was like, let's take the eight hours. And it was cool because every time we got close to an island, you know, they would drop people off. You went out, you looked at it, whatever. It was nice. You went back in the room, hung out, and then we finally got there.
C
Yo, so on that ferry, right? This is the craziest thing.
A
They're like cruise ships. How crazy is the size of those things?
C
Not a nice.
A
Yeah, the.
C
The seats are cool.
A

C
It goes very fast.
A
Yeah. Where were those things? I'm sure they were around. I just didn't know about them.
C
I don't think they.
B
I don't think you were eating seaweed 15 years ago.
A
But at the house, if we make like. If we make like, salmon and some rice or something like that. Yeah, those is the little things.
C
Yeah, man. Seaweed. The first time I really, really got into seaweed, I was going to Korea and I was on Korean Airlines. I've been to Korea ten times.
A
Jesus. What?
C
And most of the times, the promoters don't realize that I've accepted the gig because of the airlines. They have the best seaweed soup, really, On Korean Airlines.
B
Going to seaweed. Going to Korea for soup in the business.
C
Like, they. It's. They seaweed soup game. Their food on the air on Korea Airlines is Asian.
B
A lot of Asian. Singapore is really good, I think. Is KLM Asian?
C
I don't know.
B
Some of them are amazing. Like, it's like they put the rest of them. They put American Air Airlines.
C
Oh, oh, for show.
A
What about the burger on Delta?
B
Burger on Delta's all right.
A
Pretty good.
B
Will you fly? You fly Delta? Like, I was crazy about to slap.
C
The out of you, like, when we Went to Greece. Gre. The. The international food was pretty good on the flight.
B
They have to. They upgrade the American airline. Like, not America, but the United States Airlines, you know, beef it up for the. For the international.
C
I fly Southwest a lot, and I didn't know, like, the longer flights they give you. I think they should just give you the Oreos. On all of the damn flights, they just get. It's two Oreos in the pack. Like, why are you holding them out for a long flight?
B
You're flying Houston to Dallas. You don't need Oreos. You be landing in 20.
C
Giving me them nasty ass Teddy Grahams that you went to.
B
They give Teddy Grahams out. I guess they're flying southwest.
A
No, they.
C
They give. They. They.
A
I'm telling you, they give you a Teddy.
C
They give you a. These little gram. If they awful too. They have a terrible after. I'm always doing it.
A
Yeah, no, but beef flavored Teddy Grahams.
C
They give these garlic sticks.
B
I don't even. That does not sound app.
C
Like pretzel. Pretzel type garlic. They. They decent. But those. Those damn grams, yo. They. They needed. They need, man. Whoever made that damn decision, man.
A
Look, I'll have the seaweed soup, man.
C
This peanut allergy is you up, man. But I'm on there with. I'm on there with cashews and all type of nuts. I don't give a damn who's sitting next to me. Your ass is swollen.
B
I think about that a lot too.
A
Yeah, Yeah.
C
I come on there with the. With the tuna. With the tuna packs.
A
No, you don't.
C
Oh, yes, I do.
A
What?
B
You kidding me.
A
You're kidding me.
C
I bring the tuna pack.
B
I'd call the air marshal on you. I'd say you were a terrorist.
C
And I cried crush up Fritos. And I put them in the tuna pack.
A
I like the move.
B
Is that jail stuff.
A
Put it on the plane.
C
No, that's. We ain't no damn tuna packs. We had cans of tuna. That's white people shit. That I learned.
B
Oh, I mean, I'm saying you're making adjustments now that you have.
A
Oh, you bring the pouches.
C
I bring the pouches.
A
Oh, and you put it in the pouch.
C
And I crushed the Fritos up and put them in the pouch. Cause the tuna is not seasoned. I don't have the mayonnaise and all the stuff to put in it, but it's in the pouch. So I just. Whatever. Chips, whether it's Doritos, whatever. Because I'm not gonna keep going back and Forth.
B
But that's what everybody, all of my friends that have been in jail have said. That's what they did. They would chop up all the chips and mush it all together and make chichi. No.
C
That'S, that's. They was weird as hell. If you, and if you, you making a spread, you don't. Okay, a spread is different. You put. A spread consists of noodles, I'm saying. And if you put the chips. And you put the chips in there, that's last, I'm saying because the chips gonna get soggy when you doing mad.
B
At my order of operations here.
C
Yeah, it's like nude and then it's. It's different types of spreads. Like it's, it's not one spread. This is the thing about people who been incarcerated. Sometimes they make up that they didn't do.
B
Call my boys. I respect it.
C
Like the process, you know, you didn't, you didn't do it. And then if you, especially if you like, I've made a spread when I got out and it was fucking horrible. Because you know why? Because in prison the don't cook all the way. So it has a, A certain type of continuity to it. Because it doesn't cook in the world. Your noodles gonna cook all the way. So it doesn't, it doesn't even taste the same.
B
Doesn't matter. It's not the same product.
C
So a spread if, say if you didn't eat tuna, you didn't eat tuna. So. Because in there we. If you had tuna, you wasn't putting your tuna in a spread. You was. That's for mackerel. That's why they. The. The can of tuna is this big. The can of Jack Mac is this big. So you would use the macro for that. Macro and sardines for a seafood spread. But how was that?
A
Was that any good?
C
It depends on who made it. That's the, that's the thing. Because everybody can't, everybody can't spread what you did for. And then people who spread it. It was a say all three of us eating together. I got the Jack Mac, you got the, the soup. He has the, he has the chips and the bread. So the bread. What we going to do is I'm gonna make this up and we're going to put it on the bread and make sandwiches, right? And, and split the sandwich in half because you're trying to feed multiple people. Y' all combining. But what I'm doing in the sale by myself, whatever concoction I'm in there doing is my goofy ass.
B
Not for the potluck.
C
Yeah. So the thing about a spread, right, that's community thing. The thing about making a soup, if you're. It depends on what you're doing this for. You know, it was a. It was a base thing. If I'm trying to get bigger, I'm trying to get bigger. I'm adding a bunch of stuff to it to. To get full and get bigger. If I'm like me, I could just eat soup and a can of chili, I'm saying, and just put the chili in my. On my thing and maybe put some crackers on the top.
A
You don't need to make the spread.
C
I don't need to make the spread because I'm eating by myself. Or I can just make the chili. One. One soup and I'm. And I'm done. I'm not adding peanut butter, lifting weights. But like, I'm like, I don't need to get bigger. You know what I'm saying? But. And then Jack Mack, like my. My man Brown, I did a story about Brown and win big Brown would just eat Jack Mac straight out the can. The bones and everything, just straight out of the can. Spear. And he. Yeah, Big Brown. And then he would drink the juice. I never drank that damn macro juice. I've always poured it out. But if you.
B
Man, that's going to bother me for weeks.
C
Yeah, that Jack. But they sell Jack Mac in the store, people. And it's all sorts of things that. That get connected to prison. That. And it. And I. And I tell people it depends on your era as well. I would never speak about how the 70s did it or the 80s. I wasn't there in the 70s. 80s. I was in the early 90s. Then. Whatever happened in 2000s, like, why, why wouldn't. Where I was at, they didn't have. We had cans somewhere, 2005, 2003 or something like that. They got rid of cans. So they had these pouches and they got rid of the cans. Cause we was using the cans for weapons, you know what I'm saying? So smart.
B
It's just like tuna fish cans will cut you.
C
No, no, no, no, no. Let me.
B
Let me tell you, man, I'm really learning this episode.
C
You take a tuna fish can, you take your. You take your socks off, you double your socks up and you slip that can inside and you tie a knot. Him saying two knots. One to keep the can down and one to put in your hand. Oh, a tuna fish can. Open it up in a sock will have you in a wheelchair.
B
Yeah.
C
And have you in a wheelchair. Real. I'm talking about real easy. Like, real easy. And like, first you was talking, and all of a sudden you just.
B
That would happen to me so bad. I think I'm vibing with everybody. I step over, I start doing pretty well. Step over. You know, you get Jack back, locking his sock. I'm out.
C
The Jack mat can is even worse.
B
I'll put you.
C
So now say we had these can. These cans of beef, right? This was a. This was a weapon of choice for me. If you take the. Take the top of the beef can off and you take once again, your socks, and you bend it and you put your hand. Keep your hand, your socks. So all this is just jagged, jagged edge. So when I slice you, you open. You know what I'm saying? So they got rid of all those. They just. Now everything came in soft packs. So you can put a thousand soft packs in the sock and have.
B
And need 2 tons of fish and have.
C
Have the new pillow fight. I see that on. I seen it on espn. Pillow fight champion.
A
Like, this is some dumb shit.
C
They just make it up. Sport. The slippery step champion.
A
The slippery step. No, you running up the log.
C
Yeah. Have you seen. No. Have you seen the new thing? It's like a. It's like a thing of steps. And they. And they got like, oil on the steps. And you got to make it up there. People throwing balls at you.
A
Yes, I know.
C
It is the slip.
A
Like Wipeout.
C
It. It was crazy. I am the slippery chip champion. I was like, you stupid.
B
Shoved in a locker. But you gotta wrap it up, gang.
A
Man. What a formula. Ali, thank you so much. It is always a pleasure.
C
