 Who this? That's her. She a girl out of Dallas. I like this. You like her? She put up the song. I like it. Oh, she loves it. I know. She's checking it man. Check it, check it, check it man. Hey man, it's your boy E-CEO man. I'm here with the lovely official Miss Jamaica man. What's going on? Nothing, nothing my dad. Man, we got some guys here today that be having me dying when I be watching these skits man. I don't know what the hell going on man, but my day can be going down and I look over and these boys falling and acting a fool, screaming and jumping out of places running through cars. I don't know what they doing man, at all times. Like stuntmen. Check it man. Man, and Jesse McDonald's in the building man. What's up? What's going on man? What you got going on man? Man, y'all ain't got no handicap right there. I knew you were going to say that. I knew exactly what you were going to come in. I was just going to say that. That was a big step for Jesse man. I had to sit down and spin around and you know what I need to talk to them. They coming tonight on the show. I'm going to say you know what is the guy he just came in. That's a big step. So man, we down here in ATL man. And it's dope man. I mean you know, it's a lot of talent down here man. We've been interviewing all day. And you guys man, y'all traveling nutcases too. Because I already know like I was like man, where everybody at yesterday was like everybody was going. They was either in Texas or they was either in Miami. And I was like what the hell man? I came on the wrong weekend, you know what I mean? Somebody said you should have came out. Because you just be going anyway. Y'all travel a lot man. Jesse travel a lot. He drive to the moon if you could. He be like I'm going to wait at Dallas then he talk to him driving to Vegas and drive like Milwaukee. He be on the go boy. Jesse be on the go. I put that lid on auto pallet. So what keep you going like that? Man, watching Myron, he motivate me because I be like dang, I want to do that. And he be steady dropping videos. I was like man, I can't keep up. So I buy bought him his energy that he give through the videos and touch me. So that's my drive in. I want to be able to show my family look and let my disability stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's dope right there. I want to get on to it. I appreciate that Jesse. You think he would have said it if he was here for the first time? No, I don't think he said it if I was here. I think he front for the camera man. No, I'm just kidding. Is that the first time you ever heard him say that? Yeah, no, he told me like he always said how proud of me he is and stuff like that. He's very motivational, but to hear him break it down like he just did. We ain't ever said he said that, but in so many ways he said it. But he just broke it down right there. So I'm like, man, that's meant a lot because that's how I feel with stand up with him. Yeah, and that's what I'm going to ask you What's your why? What's your why what you do? What for the videos? For comedy, everything. Well, I'm going to stop. I'm going to go back to because I'm going to get into a little bit of his backstory like what, how he started. But what made him do what he do? You know what I mean? How did you end up getting to that point? Because everybody can't break the algorithm like you're doing on Instagram and all that stuff. So how did you do it? A consistency, man. But I had a plan though. You know, I'm born to raise Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So I heard about it. So yeah, when I first started doing videos, I was actually like messing around with stand up first. So I got through the little rough times, but I still never took it serious. You know what I'm saying? But then I noticed that in order to like get seen and get noticed, I had no money so I couldn't travel nowhere to be honest. How old were you at that time? Well, when I did that, I was I was 31. I'm 36. I'm 36. Shut the damn thing down. I'm 36. I'm 36. Everybody think that. Jesse said the same thing. When I was like when I was turning 30, when I was turning 27. Genetics. That's how I did. 36 teens. Good genetics. Your dad and mom, that's where you got it from? Yeah, they passed away to hard people. But they look young, though. They ain't look that age. So he started getting sick. But he got sick. But yeah, y'all shocked. They're like, miss nigga, our age. No, no, no, no. You got a long way to go. You still with behind the ears. Don't play ball. Look at him, man. I feel like even with that being said, because you know a lot of these other influence, you know what I mean? Or younger, yeah. But when we was that age, the internet wasn't popping like it is now. Like how I started doing it. And I also feel like back then I had one kid, my son, 14. So even when he was a kid, I already knew that I wasn't going to leave him. So even if I would have caught my blessings earlier, I probably would have blew it anyways. I wasn't leaving my son. You can't blame me for that. I took me for him to be 11. I didn't know what was going on. But even before that, my plan was to get my city liking me first. Okay. On a comedy level. I was already kind of known as a person. You know, but it was just like a lot of them didn't know I was silly if they didn't really know me. So I was like, let me get myself going on social media. So we had this group called the whole Milwaukee group. That was like super messy. And my city like big on like roasting. Yeah. So I took everybody that was somebody in my city and I will roast them and put it in that group and make videos with it. And it was going crazy. So that was bringing me attention. But I knew that wasn't going to be my niche because that was DC young fly thing. Yeah. And I'm like, that's somebody else niche. But once that started dying down, I'm like, okay, every time I walk around everybody in my city like Myra, Myra, Myra. I'm like, I didn't know where I was going after that. I just kept making any type of videos, but they weren't even going viral. They wouldn't do a nothing. It was really short. Just being consistent. I just kept making videos. And then one day I just woke up. I don't know. It was God. I just made the video getting put out in the rain getting put out in the rain with a dog and my draws. Like I was, you know, like she caught me cheating and hit a million in one day. And I was like on Facebook, this on Facebook. I'm like, dang, it's crazy. So what I did was when I seen that video slowing down, I made another one. I would probably make one like once a week because I would let it build up and then I make another one. And then that one went viral hit like four million. And I'm like, hold on, man. I still don't know if I got something else. Because I'm like, I finally might have a niche because I didn't know where I was. I really just did something and it started working. And there's nobody else who's doing that? No. And I wasn't, I think it just came from me just staying down, never giving up. Like I could have been like after those roast videos when I was trying all those other little videos just doing anything but staying consistent to try to keep my faith. I told myself on Facebook. Like, just see me. Even if you don't watch it, eventually you're going to click it. Like who is dude? I keep seeing. That's how my mind was, you know? And then that's how I built it up. But those cheating videos, man, it was like I just kept dropping them. I did one, two, then three, then four, and five, and six, and they all was four million, five million, one hit 12 million. I'm like, whoa, but nobody knew who I was. It was just like this dude keep getting caught. I didn't have no followers on Instagram. Nothing. Until this lady reached out to me and was like, I've been looking for you. I've been following you on Facebook for like, she said like seven months and she said your content is funny and she was like, I do marketing. And I think her name like Tamara, I never met her in person and she is from like Philly. She was like, I won't charge you nothing. She said, I can help you get your pay built. She said, first of all, you need to clean your Instagram and get on Instagram. And then she was like, you need to come up with a name that fits what you're doing. And she was like, basically after seeing what your video, you're cheating and me not thinking like that. I didn't, I'm like, it never even hit my mind even think that to say cheating as mine. I was just like, I was just happy I was going viral. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, she gave me three names. And she has mine was one of them. So we use that name and then put that in my Instagram. She helped me clean my page up. I sent her all my main videos that was going viral on Facebook, put them on Instagram. And that's back when I was getting, I got my first thousand views on Instagram. I was excited. I lived up from like three views and they said a thousand. I said, man, I got a thousand views. But now I get a thousand views in seconds. But then I was happy. So I remember all that, you know what I'm saying? But I always shot that lady out. I can't point her out to this day. You never sent a picture? You didn't talk to her back and forth? No, we was. And then she would disappear. She knew what she was talking about. It was crazy. It was like an angel or something. She was showing me how to capture my stuff. And then I started, she was all camera that you handle with yourself a little bit. And then I started doing it. And then I was labeling all my videos from like a third party. Like, guy gets caught, this guy, this guy, that. And she came back and she hit me up. She said, you can't be posting your videos like that. She was like, you get, I was getting like 300,000 some thousand views, but my followers were growing. And she was like, that's because don't nobody know that's you. You keep saying guy, this guy gets caught. This guy gets that. They don't know it's you. You know what I mean? And I was like, like, man, come on, man. I got all these views and stuff like she's like, it's bigger than that. You got to get your following girl. So I took all them posts down, guy, this guy, that and all that with all them viral videos. There was me though. And my, what is the algorithm? That's how you say it? I said that word. Algorithm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't broke it. That's why. It dropped so bad. And I was calling her. I said, hey, man, nobody looking at my page no more. It just motivated me more, but she knew what she was doing. You got to get your page on the right way. Don't build it up the wrong way. And then it caught flame again. Like I gave it like a month and caught flame again. Then World Star was posting me like twice a week. So I was catching off of that. Then I was in a showroom. Then I was on ridiculousness. All type of stuff. So did she, I mean, so you never, ever, did you pay her for this? No, she's this. This woman popped up out of nowhere. Email me. I think it was either email or IG. I don't remember, but she said her name, said she marketing and said she can fill you. I want to say her name to mirror. I believe it's to mirror. You didn't get her last name. No. Cause like the investor would love to go search for her just so that y'all could meet face to face. And it's the crazy thing like she, when I had, I only had like 1200 or 1100 followers, right? I gave her my past code and stuff cause she knew how to word the stuff and everything like that. You know what I mean? Because I'm like, say what she going to do still 1100 followers. That's all I had on Instagram at the time, what she was going to take. You know what I mean? Like she could, if she was, she would have been flawed. But she was just there to help. I gave her that stuff, man. And then she was like, you can change your password when you're done. She was captioning it so I can catch on how to caption and stuff. I never bought a follower or none of that. I just, all myself is authentic. So she just showed me how to caption and stuff, how to clean my page up and stuff. And I was like, she just did it, bro. How long did it take you to build your platform and what do you have now? My first, I'll say, what, my 2017, what's that? 2018, 2019? Four years. Four years, yeah. But I don't count the first two years because they didn't, nobody know me. Yeah, nobody knew me then, you know what I'm saying? So I really started making noise. I didn't know I was as big as I was, but started making more noise until I moved to Atlanta and I was around all the people that I was watching. You know what I mean? Like, they're gonna rob your world. That's how I was looking, dawg. And they was like, they're gonna cheat in Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, they know that because I was still in Milwaukee. You know what I mean? So how did you two meet? How did y'all meet up? How did I meet you, Jesse? He was on live and I hit him. He let me join his live and I sent me a number. I was like, I want to work with you. And we just stayed in touch. One day I was in Atlanta. He was like, I'm in Atlanta. I'm like, well, let's meet up. We met up and just the chemistry was there. You know how I first seen you, though? Not in person. That's how we met. But the first time I seen Jesse, you was with that other dude, the Crutch. That's what I seen. I seen a viral video with two handicapped dudes roasting, dude. And it was the funniest thing in the world. I didn't know who he was, but it was so funny, dawg. And I found out who they was. He was like, yeah, I got to try to figure this out. It was funny, dude. It was so funny to see. To me, it was bigger. Outside of the jokes, just see them. They handicapped, but they're living life. They having fun. To be like, oh, man, I want some sympathy. No, I'm totally different. They'll roast with us. I don't care. I tried to hit him when we was on the way down there with a joke and he hit back. You know what I'm saying? Jesse ain't going to play with you, man. Stay real. So you're just going to leave Dallas. I'm not going to go without saying that. You was in Dallas with me, and now you're just going up. I don't understand that. It ain't that. I'm originally from Arkansas. Die hard cowboy. Can't die now. Following my fiance. But I always wanted to come to Atlanta because it was a better opportunity. So this is your first time living in Atlanta? The opportunity for me to move here had to be right. Other people wanted me to move, but I didn't want to move down here with no guy then. He ain't got this hat for the rent. And I knew my disability check was coming. My little extra money. I didn't want to have my little extra money and he ain't got his hat for the check. I need a bill. Now I take my extra money to help him out. So I just waited until the opportunity was right and came in that way. Yeah, I definitely enjoyed the show the other night. You invited us out too. You killed it man. What's that? Atlanta Comedy theater. D-Ray. I could tell the chemistry was there. He cut for you too man. I like the spot. I really like that spot. It's black owned business as well. Isn't it? The comedy show? No. I have no idea who owned it. Gary. I don't know what Gary is, but Gary is the only set up of Gary. Gary is my first comedy tour. I was on rock the ramp. It was all handicapped people. Rock the ramp. I never heard of that before. No, that's because I'm handicapped. He's for real. I'm serious. This one Gary was at the Uptown Comedy Theater. I was kind of just not really getting back into the comedy full-fledged. He called me Charles Walden out of Philly. Daniel Rose here out of New York. Rest in peace. He put all three of us on the show. It was like rock the ramp. Everybody was handicapped. It went good, but they never put it out. What was that first moment that you felt like, dang man, I don't want viral man. People watching me. These people looking at me. When I did the stripper in Dallas. The current thing is we was on a blue sticker comedy tour. It was me and two other guys on sticks. We only had like 30 people in there. But the energy was so high. I kept telling the guy come and do this joke with me. I'm stripping for the women. And he was like, man, I ain't nobody doing that. I said, we're going to catch five with it. He finally came and I put him up there and he came up there and do it, but I had to calm him down because I didn't want him to get too rowdy with the girl and her boyfriend B&L and he can't whip two handicapped guys with sticks. That won't be right, but J. Stiffin came and did the video and the next morning the girl said, ooh, man, the video doing numbers. And it just went up from there and everybody started saying handicapped dudes on crutches. Wow. And that's dope, man. Is it hard to find people to do the skits with y'all? Because that seemed like y'all not for me. For me, it's easy for me. Jesse just breaking into the skit then kind of in a sense. You know what I mean? So that's why it's good that I got a bigger fan base on social media because he helps, like I said, with stage he's a lot of people, he's going to break into that with him, you know what I'm saying? So it works hand in hand, you know what I'm saying? But Jesse, some of the people hit me up about him when I started doing skits with him which is good, you know what I mean? With your cousin then they like, is he really handicapped? Is he really handicapped? Is he really handicapped? I'm like, nah, yeah, that's real. They thought he was playing. Nah, he really like that. That's real, man. He can't send up too long by himself. He can't send up too long by himself. He can't send up too long by himself. And after they see me in the videos with everybody they're like, hey, I need you to do a video with me. I'm like, okay, I'm ready. But I need you to follow. They want you to follow every video. Jesse got to follow every video. They want me to follow. That's his trademark. They got to follow. They go, what you going to follow? You going to follow Jesse? Like he only probably not know to follow 16 times to get a skit right. One skit. But he got him one time. I stayed in character though. Oh my God, man. We was in my house shooting a skit. And Jesse, it was his idea. So this one I didn't feel bad. I didn't tell Jesse. No, listen, I didn't tell Jesse he should slide down the stairs on his chest. He said he could do it. He said it. He said I can do it. He said I can do it. I kept asking, can you do it? You showed Jesse, yeah, yeah, I can do it. So he did it. I don't know if it was water on the arc. I don't know, man. The carpets don't come in no water. Aw, man, you slid hard, didn't you? What? That boy was going slow. Then this is picked up like... Because the skit was... When I got out of the house, I was coming back in to get something to leave. I forgot exactly how the skit went. But when I came back in, I was coming back in to finish my little last lines of the skit. It was too late to even help him. I had the bottom six coming down. Like 90 miles an hour. And I knew it was a real fall because his face was... I said, he never made that noise. And I'm like, and me and the young fella that was recording for us, we just dying of laughing. Because then I'm laughing already because I'm like, oh, that's a real fall. And then he turned around and had a big, old cherry on his head. On the phone, I really started laughing for hard to get him. Man was over when I said that. He's like a kid. He did this. He's like... You know what I mean? You're like, oh, man, you're still just... You're still going nowhere. Then he's going to put a do-rag on. Then he's like, I can't wear the do-rag no more because it keeps sticking to the sky. What's he thought he was going to do, Jesse? He's all in character. I still say we get into character. That's the whole video. So when you do these things, you write it out? Yeah, how do you come up with that idea? How do you come up with a skit? Like now, if we just be talking something pop in your head, you do it while it's funny. Like me, if I say something funny right now, and we're like, oh, that's a skit. We got to do it while we still think it's funny because if I wait until next week, unless it was just gut-busting funny, I'll probably be like, it ain't funny though. It ain't funny though. Because it's in the moment. The energy is there. So you always have to have the camera ready, everything ready. Phones. We're shooting everything. And we are there in technology. The thing is having a cameraman, if you got one that's on big already, because it'd be a lot of people that want to work with you, but they kind of just really want to be around you. You find out how you stay working once they get comfortable with you. They're comfortable and they're busy or if they do film it, they take it forever to get it back to you. So I ain't got time to wait on nobody. I'm grinding. And do you edit your own stuff? Do you edit? Yeah, we do. Edit and air-drop it. Because I see, when I think of you and how you started, I think about Country Wayne, that whole, all y'all got a movement going on, man. Listen, man. That's one of the, Wayne, that's my homie, too. Like, Country Wayne. He was one of my motivations, because he was the first person I seen blow up on Facebook. But I watched him from when he used to do the videos, having the phone like this. He used to have it on his face. Now he do full blown sketches of a bag. When he first started, he always had the phone like this. And he talked to it. He'd be talking to whoever he was doing. But this year, he was always in his face. But he motivated me. That's why I said I wanted to keep seeing my face. Because even before I knew who Wayne was, I kept seeing him on my timeline. See you in space. And I was like, six months then past, though. And I'm like, it took a long time. And I finally clicked. Like, man, what was it, dude? I keep seeing on my timeline that people were sharing it. So I finally clicked on him. He was funny. And then I was a fan-sense. And then I was like, that motivated me. I wasn't doing videos then, though. I got to make my face be seen as much as I see in his face. Because even if somebody started looking at it, man, they either going to like you or they're not going to like you. But either way, it go. My mind was just staying on the timeline. You get what I'm saying? And there's some people that don't like you at first. And then they fall for you. They start learning to love you. How important is self-awareness, man? Knowing how to understand you and that comedy that you do. Like, is that important to you? It's real important. Because if you're not comfortable with yourself in doing what you're going to do, how is the next person going to be that comfortable? Like, me, I fall. Like, I be doing a video, I'm like, look, Myron, I'm going to do this video, I'm going to fall. He's like, you show me? I'm like, yeah, I'm going to fall. And then sometimes we'll be in certain places. I'm like, I'm going to fall. He's like, you're going to fall on the street. It's concrete out here. But the thing is, I'm comfortable with falling. I know how to fall without hurting myself. It's time to fall. And I seen you get out of the car like you were going to try to leave a few times. I don't know what that was about. Like he was walking, like he was leaving, walking away from... We got to do some more of those. We ain't going to tell you why I'm running away, but I'm running away. I've seen you running away, man. And I always catch me getting in the car and I find stupid ways of stopping. I can't wait to see more because I know now that you're down here together. I'm trying to go crazy. How often do you put out content? Man, I got a phone full of stuff. So my goal is, honestly, I would drop every day. But sometimes it depends. Instagram algorithm all messed up now. It's kind of messed up now. When I first got on there, it was like, it was crazy. You was just shooting through the roof. Now it's like, I don't know, man. It's weird. I think they want you to pay for promotion through them. That's what I think. Yeah, I do think I understand business. Now that they're paying, you're following, now that they're paying you to for all the followers and stuff. Now they have fake pages. He was like, man, my following up, then all of a sudden you're following drop down a long way. You were like, man, what is that? So what I heard is like, it's fake pages that I have here. They go through your page and all them fake pages, they go to taking them off your page. I always say all of this stuff is a gimmick because there's so many times when we'll test it, we'll run out here and get say, 20 people to subscribe to YouTube. They don't come on YouTube. And then we look on there and it's like, okay, it ain't growing, or even on Instagram. Now it's not growing. You can't, are you looking? Man, listen to this. If you go look at your, this time messed up Instagram is now, you go look at your insights and it'll tell you, it's weird because it was never like this. I was always just gaining. Like one day you can be at, I'm just saying, 967,000 followers and next day you got 9, like 962, you like, I just lost 5,000 followers like that. It never was like that. You might lose a couple here and there, but you telling me just 5,000 people at one time just saying, you know what, today everybody just unfollowed cheating as much. You get what I'm saying? I know that. But you know what someone told us, he said, check your stuff daily. Record it, screen shoot it, whatever, so you have proof because, especially YouTube, so you can contact them and say, hey, and they'll fix it. They'll look into it and they'll fix it whether they have to pay you for something or, but he said, a lot of people don't track it. A lot of people don't look at it and screen shoot it. We don't, yeah, we don't. And if you don't have proof, they're not going to do anything. Facts. We just saying it. I'm like, what the heck is this? They got you questioning them and you asking for it. You don't have time to screen shoot everything because nobody ever knows when they want to have it. That's got a name out of a message. He ought to Mississippi or something. Because that's what he does, help people with their YouTube. He study them like that's what he do. On Instagram, it'll say, in your insights, it'll say, you gained 5,000 but lost 4,500 followers, so you really only gained 5,000. They be like, what? That don't even make sense. They be stuff like that, for real, not looking at anything. So what do you think about TikTok? You can gain easy on TikTok, but they're strict. They take everything down. They take everything down, man. Yeah, we did where we did to take the pup daddy video and I fell and he moved out the way and it took it down. Just because he moved out the way when I was falling. No, he stepped on me. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It'd be weird. But then I'd be going viral. People would say to me, they see me on TikTok and I'm like, I only got 157,000 followers on TikTok right now, right? But it's just like I was going viral on other people's pages from the same video they took off my page. You know what I'm saying? The thing I post got took down by somebody else, but me for a reason I don't be caring no more. At this point, I don't be caring because I'm like I didn't do videos enough. I know I got a strong face card in the show when I'm in public and stuff like that, so that's a good thing. So it's like, if anybody take my video and posts it, don't tag me. It's going to be somebody that know me that can tag me in the comments so people that don't know me be like that's my rap or whatever. Or they call me the fofo because of the slow motion with the little pistol. I've seen that. They be saying that. So what's the craziest thing that doesn't happen with you? And not just you, but you also Jesse, what's the craziest thing a fan ever did by approaching you? You know, like... No, they be aggressive. Oh, wow, man. They be the dudes or they ain't no chicks. They're chicks to speak and stuff like that. Don't let them be drunk. What was that? Miami dude, he was a big, big, big dude. So I'm like, he was aggressive. I'm like, man, I don't know. What did he say? I was mad in my head. I was mad on that. He just had to let him be aggressive. I just let him be aggressive. I'm just... I'm like, yeah. I'm really like, ooh, man. But you ain't got to do all that just say. Like, you know what I'm saying? He's like, bro, I rock with your brother. I'm like, dog, man. But the thing is I got him back because I had a show when he was at the show. So I'm in my safe zone now. I'm on stage. Yeah, I brought that up. Well, I talked about him like a dog, man. Don't touch me no more. I'll kick your ass. I knew he couldn't get to me. You know what I'm saying? I know it. Did you ever do a stand-up? Did you ever do a stand-up and somebody got mad at you like want to fight you because of something you said? Only when I first, first started this before the video because I didn't know see now with experience I know how to I know how to talk about somebody without lying and without offending them. So there's a technique behind everything. Before me when I first came out, when you first started comedy, I'm already like I'm real witty and I'm like just don't give a damn. So I'm looking at comedians. But they who they are, I'm not thinking that. I'm not going to say it. I was at the show, I'm like look at this beat. First thing I say. In my mind, it's funny. Instead of saying how I would say it now, I wouldn't say that. I don't even say that word. But I felt I had to learn. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, I ain't no bitch. I'm just going. It was somebody at one of the comedians, he said, man, what the hell are you doing? He said, you got to apologize to that lady. Man, I wouldn't apologize to that lady. She accepted it. But I can tell on her face, she really was like, get out of my face. But she was older than me. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, because I didn't know nobody. To me, it was funny. I'm like I said it like, I caught about 10 of them in like 30 seconds. Shut up, beat, beat, beat. This is true. I'm so embarrassed about it now, but I can laugh about it now. Yeah, and then another time I came on stage and it was a whole bunch of big girls like, you know what I mean? You can joke about big girls but you got to know how to do it. Yeah. I walked right outside and I was like, I said, this is a pack of fat. This dude is going to eat. The first thing I say when I come outside, I come out another side, but on the stage, the first thing I do, I come out and I see them. I said, cut the music. I'm like, cut the music. And I looked up and I said, this is a big pack of fat. Everybody else was laughing, but they were like, they were standing up like, F U, you skinny mother. That was going in. I only had five minutes, Jesse, so I waited my whole five minutes talking to them. Did they walk out? Did they walk out? No, this is all before I was cheating as Myron. This is when I was just Myron. This is the way before. By the time I became cheating as Myron, I wasn't doing nothing. I won't do nothing like that now. I know how to, even if I was to say something to somebody and I see, I can just read the energy. If I say something and they ain't feeling it, it's just like, I just let it go. I ain't even gonna stop. So what about you? I know you had something for me. Aw, man. I was selling merchandise at the show. And this girl, I said, you want to buy this shirt? She said, after shirts, I want you. I said, I got a fiance. She said, F U, you all retarded. I did, man. I did. I did. She cried. I was lying. At least you were honest. So why is she cursing you out? I was like, man, I like my woman crazy. She shoot me and you. I mean, that's, man. See, that's funny. I ran to one like in Memphis not too long ago now. And the guy was on the front row and it's a joke that I do. You know what I'm saying? With the couples. But I use my music. And I asked him, he said, go on with your little jokes now. Now, me, you know, I said, but you just still kind of go. And I kept going. He said, look, I told you, go on with your little jokes. It ain't, it ain't on me. It's in me. When he said that, the whole crowd got real quiet. Or whatever. And I was like, oh, he want new guys. He going to want to want that, to try to come and fight you. I like, I don't know how to play it to where I can pull him back to me because because so I was like, man, look at all you want me to talk to your girl. Well, let me tell you, I say his name, but I look gone. I'm like, let me tell you what happened to me. And I tell him the situation of what happened to me instead of talking to the crowd. I made it like I was talking directly to him. And he kind of came back and the stuff I was saying was funny. When I came back from my music jokes, it took him all the way over. And he came back and at the end of the show, he was the first one at my show. I met my table and said, man, let me get one of everything. Wow. That's it, man. You know, let me tell you how Jesse different on stage for one, but his hustle, he don't teach me so much with that because I had to learn that because I started getting caught so fast. Like the things that he'd be hustling, like he'd be searching stuff. I'd be like, mama, I don't even buy my shirts. That's what I was thinking before being around Jesse. I'm like, Jesse, no big celebrity. Jesse's known. Like, Jesse's known. You know what I mean? I'm like, what are you doing? I'm telling myself, what are you doing, man? You better get to a table. That's right. That's exactly what he's doing. Trust me, I'm learning a lot from Jesse. I've seen him the other night. He was in rap form. I don't know what he said, though, when they would go out the door and they didn't buy something. He had this. Your car won't start. You don't speak. That was what happened, too. It cost you nothing to say how long on your way out. If I'm good and you like my show, at least say, hey, how you doing? I will buy something, but I ain't got it right now. Yeah. Or not right now, you know what I'm saying? But it's the same way how you acknowledge everybody. Because he had people at the table buying stuff, but everybody who's passing, he's still acknowledging everybody. Everybody. I was with him before, well, a few times, and people be looking at me weird, like, because if they know me, they'd go, you know what I'm saying? I'm not on the show. I'm coming to support Jesse. I'm helping Jesse set his stuff up. I'm helping Jesse. He's like, Mike, give me a medium. I'm in there. I look like he's working, but I don't think like that. No, no, you have me on yourself, too. You talk and you get it. This is after I've seen it. I'm like, I gotta start doing it. You talk and do it. No, that's humming. But they don't know, that shows a lot of your character to the people that's watching you, too. Like, oh, he helped, because a lot of them people won't do that. No, no. Digging in his box for him. No, man, it's so many times. I remember I own seven stores, and I still was selling clothes out the truck. It didn't matter about that. I mean, we had money. Yeah, she pushed me back to the streets when I didn't chill out. We can go to the streets and make money. You go to your customers. You go to people who love you. You don't always sit on the way for them to come to you. They feel more comfortable when you join me hand in hand. They feel spoiled. Once I went to, it was here in Atlanta, and I was headlining, and they said, oh, Byron, are you going up? I said, nah, I'm just head chilling. I said, nah, he going up. I said, oh, yeah, you ready? He's like a dog. That's why I like Jesse, man. He would let me take no for an answer. He asked me, I was like, hold on, let me see, man. You going to say, I don't want to know. I'm just here for Jesse. Ain't that something though, how both of them got two different worlds and they married in those worlds? Jesse, like, you going up. I said, man, come on. He said, he going up. But I'm like, all right, Dad. I love it. But he did it, and it motivated me, man. And guess what? I went up there and killed it. You killed it. This is the thing, though, I know I can do stand-up, but that's why you rock with it. I just be like, I got to get a drive for it again. That was my drive first. And then when I got going crazy on internet, I was like, man, forget that. But now, once I seen all the other Instagram comedians, I'm like, I don't want to be in no box like them. I want to be a jack of all trades. I want to do everything. The way your actions is, I keep thinking about Chris Tucker. Everybody say that. I'm not playing. They were saying that yesterday. Not that you look like it, but your actual. But I'm my favorite comedian. So what I do is probably, I'm not even on purpose. I never sat down and was like, let me just twitch and all that. But I keep getting that. I'm like, dang, let's do it. With all the facial expressions and everything else. But I know that's why people laugh. They told me that. The energy and the facial expressions. That's why I told them. I said, this comedian's out here with way better jokes. Jesse got a full set. He got jokes, boom, boom, boom. I have jokes. I don't guys as much jokes as Jesse. Jesse is a different type of beast. You know what I'm saying? But I know my energy, my personality, my facial expressions and all that stuff. It carries me. So I might say something that's not even a joke. Part of my set. Just something stupid. And they don't crack it up because of how I'm looking. But I don't even know how I'm looking until... You know what I'm saying? So you don't go into the mirror and it's like... No, like Jordan Jackson. Jordan Jackson brought it to me. He was like, he said, man, you don't understand your facial expressions He said, when you sit there and I'm cheating videos He said, when you waiting to slap and when you be slapping and all that He said, man, it's priceless. He said, that's what they laugh at, man. You be so mad. And I'm like, then I started paying attention to it myself. But I was just being myself. So I'm like, I never seen it until they brought it to me. Wow. You haven't been watching your own videos? No, I actually like watching my own videos. But I don't... Certain ones I laugh at and then other ones I'll be like... I look at it and I'll be like, this is a good one. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. But it'll be a video that's good already though to the internet. And I'll be like, man, I could have executed that better. I'll be doing it when I do it twice. But when you perform, have you all... Have either one of you all ever performed? Because you look at everybody in the crowd, right? Whenever you're performing or do you just look at the people in the front? No, I zone out. I look at everybody. Have you ever seen someone that you're telling jokes and there's somebody in the crowd that's not laughing? Yeah, you see that? And when I find them, I keep gunning. Just make sure I'm going to give them. I've got to make you laugh. So really that's a motivation. Yeah, because you're talking and you're looking at an audience, you're looking... Like me, I kind of zone out anyway, but it depends on the lighting on the stage. You know what I'm saying? Some of that lighting, you can't really see way back there. You can only see the front, but... And then a lot of times I tell them... I tell them, like, depending on where I'm at, I tell them to bring the lights up. And they're like, why? I like it because it's dark and I can't stand up in the door. Even at a comedy club where people don't know the lights are shining bright on the stage, the closer I get to the edge, the further the lights go over my head and I can see the crowd. He just talked to me, son, because Jesse... Jesse be like, the show be at 9 o'clock, Jesse be like, we're going to get to the show at 6. Like, man, what we going at 6? He's talking about the sound check, right? He's setting up his boom-feed door. He doing everything right to be ready. That's what I'm saying. And I ain't first. I ain't got to go just 9.30, 9.40. I'm the last nigga going on stage. That's how I felt. But Jesse, man, he trust me. He teach me a lot when it comes to stand-up game. That's the whole game, man. I just love the way the vibe is. I know already great things about to happen. He down in ATL. I'm going to be pressuring him. I got his number. I will wear the hell out of him. He has the nerve to answer. You know what I mean? He answers. And you answer. When I first got your number and I started calling you, I'm like, damn, he don't know me. I don't know people like that. But it's certain ones that it's special. That's all I can say. It's special. Jesse never introduced me to no floor person, no weird person. Even when I answered, I didn't know. I called like that. I'm thinking like, man, this might be business or something. If it had been a weird, I would have just hung up. But then when you told me who he was, I already knew. Boom. So now that's why you called. I answered because he already vouched for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have you already. So it was like, let's do something. Let you do something weird on your own. Just call like, hey, man. I don't even know what you could do. I can't see what you're doing. I'm like, Jesse, man, what's wrong with your boy, man? Dude, let me tell you something, man. I'm a girl. He's like, don't name-drop nobody because you know all those people don't tell them because they might not like them. I said, what? Yeah, I listen to them. I listen to them. You know what I'm saying? To know who you can work with. Sometimes the person that you introduce to yourself to are like, yeah, I can work with. Yes, for this one. I can work with Jesse, man. They don't even like us. And then now you're like, I can work with them like me. I don't want to work with them. So I gotta stop doing that. I stopped that immediately. I said, I'm in school right now. The less you say to people when you're trying to work with them, sometimes it's the better the more they want to get to know about you. You can say, hey, look, I do this. Hit on my Instagram, hit on my social media. Now they go on there and go to look. See, I do that even when I like... When I meet women, I can say for the most part, because you know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, if I meet a woman, I don't come to them like, hey, what's up? I'm Junaid Myron. If I meet you, I just gonna say I'm Myron. Call me. You can figure it out later. You know what I'm saying? I don't even want you to like me. Because of that. You see that right away. They gonna be like, they don't want to talk to you just because or whatever. Now you've even made it messed up. Now I'm looking at you different. I'm gonna do what I do and I'm gonna leave you. But I don't want to be like that. Do you ever meet a woman and you like her but she feel like you gonna be cheating because of... Oh yeah, they always say that. I can get away with it. I get a free pass. That's my name. You knew that was my name for you. That's the first thing I'm saying. I'm gonna cheat now and Myron before you even... Man, I mean your comedy is something else. This ain't your voice, bro. This dude coming in is... But you know what I'm saying? I'm dying. I'm dying over the fact. He ain't even saying nothing. I'm gonna be trippin' hard as hell. This talk's real. No, but they told me that when I was in Houston and stuff like that. When I'm down there, they was like you know what I'm saying? He's gonna be a comedian. I said, why you say that? They was like, just how you talk. I said that. I didn't see that. I don't see that. I'm trippin' over you. Because that's a woman. So that means someone to look at me, nah, it's a joke. They look at you and they see that. That's a man right there. That's a man. And so I say, I do comedy. I don't want no woman to walk up to me. This is a girl walking back here. You grown up into a kid still. She's like, you look goofy. I'm like, what's that mean? You know what I'm saying? You look goofy as hell. That's a man right there. They look like they're conversing with me and I'll have my crutch up and as soon as I stand up, they be like, ah. Y'all trippin'. Being a comedian though, do y'all find it hard for people to take you serious when you're trying to be serious? Serving people like me. Like this nigga. Right there. If somebody don't know you, like I'm in areas where people don't know about me, like it's crazy because it's silly. So you like that. What I know is like, Aries like, I know we... I'm the goofiest person in the world. I get mad at the simplest stuff and I get mad fast. For real? Yeah. No, I'm saying like, no, they can do laughter. Who let the toilet seat down? No, it ain't. I ain't sayin' that, man. He can't even catch it. He said it. Boy, these boys. The funny thing is that we have... We have different humor. Yeah, we've been together for 20 years. They'll laugh at everything together and I'll be sitting down like... It ain't even a trick. She the one we gotta get to a show because if we make her laugh, then it's a good way to laugh. I love comedy shows, but I hate comedy shows because sometimes when I go and everybody's laughing, I'm like... I've been to multiple comedy shows and only two people that stand out to me that I loved what they did is Eddie Griffin. Love Eddie. I love you. Eddie Griffin not only told jokes, he told you so many facts about... See, you're one of the political people. You're one of the political people. I like him. I like that deep there. I watched him. He was dry to me. He wasn't funny. When I say that... To me, he'd be dry to me. He was funny to me. He was funny, but at the end is when he gave me a lot of... He didn't just do it up front. At the end of his whole show he gave us a lot of facts where I'm like putting on my phone like, is that real? Is that for real? So I like that and then my next person is Monique. He was even shocked because I drug him to the Monique show because I didn't even know if she was funny or not. I went and he was cracking up laugh and he enjoyed it, but I enjoyed it. See, what people don't know when you go to see a lot of these big-time comedians, they got they set jokes. They already know when they're going to make you laugh. Sometimes they write jokes and they be like, look, I'm going to throw this out here and see how they react to it. So you throw them new jokes out there in the beginning to see how you react to it. If you go with it, then they're going to keep it. But if not, then they may be like, you know what, we're going to go ahead and turn it up. Like, you know who wasn't funny to me? That might be the old boy. That might be the old boy. No, no, no. Whatever she says to her opinion. Who is it? Who is it? Give it up. Is his name Red Fox or Fox Red? Oh, she's Red Fox. Oh, man. Red Fox. No, not Red Fox. No, not at all. Red Grant. He real-life skin, real-life skin. And he showed a lot of love in that. Got the gaps. Cause he got the gaps in his mouth. He said, man, look, God put these gaps there. Maybe just that show, the good jokes that he was doing. But you can't satisfy everybody. Everybody has a different sense of humor. I know that. She said the people that made her laugh. Oh, no, no, no, no. I saved the best for last. I saved the best for last. You know what I'm saying? When she said that, only two people made me laugh. And the first thing I thought of in my head was she said that. I was like, they just said that was just true. Well, I want to say that I love it. I want to say that I love it. She said Andy Griffin and Red Fox. No, no, Andy Griffin and Monique. Yeah. She ain't saying no to this thing, man. Hold on, but y'all cut me off. You said two people. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's my favorite, okay? So the two is otherwise, do we put that? I don't know. Okay. Yeah, you should have said that. Do you really? Do you really? I mean, he don't really count. Two people that I don't know. To me, like when I'm thinking about because he's so much family, you don't count. He don't count because I can call him when I want to and I need something. Hey, man, you got somebody to send over to show me. No, you right. But it's like, it's more, it's more to it. Like I'm coming. If you call me and be like, I'm doing the show in Russia, I'm gonna be like, we're gonna be going to Russia, baby. Like if you tell me, I gotta be there. But that's what happens when you really care about somebody. You know what I mean? But from now on, because anytime you perform in Dallas. She was mad at you because you never invited us to a show. No, but I have to see this one? It's different when you come to an open mic versus a show. I'm gonna be there. Yeah. Open mics. I don't ever invite people to open mics. Yeah. To open mics because I'd be like, you might be trying something. No, really? And it might not work. It might be something you're trying for when you actually do a real show. So I mean, you come at your own will. But if I ain't funny that night, it's because I'm trying stuff or whatever. Because you got to open mic and do the... You can't do some of your old shows if you're trying to perfect it or add to it or something like that. But other than that... Open mic is like, work out. So it's better to go to a show. Yeah. I thought open mics for people like if y'all just... Y'all just want to get out one night. You and your wife just like, you know what, let's just get out. And then y'all just find out they got an open mic for comedy. Then you go to that. But I wouldn't call you like... But you could tell the difference. You could tell the difference from an open mic to a show. All the cities that you have ever performed, which one was your favorite? I don't know. Mine was the first mic. Because everybody... Everybody's show we love. You can't say that. That energy... You can't say that. It's that energy that you bring to the stage is that energy that you're going to get back. That's right. And I watch his energy and his energy is real high. I did a birthday party and I was like, Mark, what you doing? He said nothing. I said, man, you're coming with me. Well, he may be going there. His energy was good. Jesse made me go, bro. And he did... He killed it. I forgot to tell y'all thank you all for coming out to the show. I think I told you that. Man, come on, man. We love this career. Y'all know the words that I heard from behind it. Because when they came, they say, it's sold out. I said, don't leave yet. Because sometimes they sell tickets. Yeah. And people don't show up. I'm like, just stick around. But when y'all came, they say, y'all here to see D-Ray? They tell him, they say, no, we're coming to see Jesse McDonough. That's right. That's right. When the owner of them came to me, they said, man, you got some true things out there. I said, man, we're coming to see Jesse McDonough. That's true. And it's no disrespect. But I mean, you feel different when people come to see you. They might support you. But I know. No, I'm not. I'm not. You know, I don't like just talking all the way up to the thing. It's funny, you know what I'm saying? Something that, like, you're just up there at your face. You like, yeah. I think, I think, I say, hey, man, if we could come to, And when we're down here, we're supposed to be coming quarterly, we're about to have a meeting right after this, right? And the next guest is the owner of the building, so we're talking about coming down here. And tell him he need to build a handicap right now. Oh, by the way. We finna have our tour, me and my cousin tour. It really is awesome, yeah. I mean, Jesse, man, we finna turn up with these kids, so they looking forward to it. Yeah, I've seen it. We made a fly, we made a fly. She did, she did make a fly. You know what I'm saying? We finna do it. We gonna do it. Me and my cousin tour, and it's gonna, he won't brought it to me, and I'm like, that'll be dope. But plenty of people said it to me already. You and Jesse need to do it to come here tour. And y'all gonna come to Dallas too, right? Yeah. Anyway, the Jesse, Jesse connects with all that. I just gotta show up and show people no fun. We gonna never do that. Even if you get close to them, to being in Houston, we come here. We definitely gonna conquer them, man, that we... Speaking at Houston, I was just in Houston yesterday. Yeah, I know you were. Yeah, man, that was an effort to meet Dave Chappelle. Bruh, what? That was your first time me and him? I had never met Dave Chappelle. He's smoking cigarettes. Man, he smoked for him. Dave, he funny. Dave was my whole family's on stage. And he become, he be talking to you like you having a regular conversation and be hitting you with jokes at the same time. And I had studied and watched his performance. And I was like, it's different. Every comedian different. So when people like, who's your favorite comedian? Who do you watch the most? I just watch everybody. And I put it all together and come up with me. See, that's the style for you too? Yeah, like Chris Tucker, my favorite. The reason Chris Tucker, my favorite, like growing up, he was just, it was just energy. He was just different. But I know I can name a whole bunch of comedians just better than him joke for joke, like stand up wise. But I'm talking about just him as a person. Yeah. Like, that was like, and I ain't even got to meet him yet. Like, that's the only celebrity I run up to. And be like, hey, man, come on, man, come on, man. Man, what, man, I'm gonna hook, man. What's up? Look, look, I got a connection. I don't need you running up to one. Don't embarrass me. I don't need you to be aggressing that, you know what I'm saying? Not aggressing like dude did. I don't need you to be aggressing like that. No, man, man, I didn't walk up to him like, man, I wasn't even out, I'm a fan out. I think I might run, but I don't know. No, I won't touch him. Just make sure you video that one. So we all can see that. Like, great guy, I'm blissing, man. You didn't finish your drink now. It's all like, yeah, he definitely had a great time, you know? I just want to talk about his shirts for a second. You know, you know I've got to bring this out, man. You know already that man, come on, it's gonna be on. If you come in here, tell him to go take me a long time to get down the ramp. We got big pictures in every town. Yeah, I got these shirts right here. This first shirt, rip, this shirt, rip, policy. Okay, plus the top, yeah. Yeah, no, this is the thing. I ain't no customer. You can say that. I just walked this way. No, that ain't what that one said. I can damn well, I can read. You go, what's he talking about? I don't know what you mean. You say plus the toilet because I'm the shh. Oh man. You brought the same shirt. No, no, no, no, my t-shirt got messed up. Cause this shirt right here is supposed to say I ain't drunk, I just walked this way. It's supposed to, cause I remember the green one was like. The guy that got me drunk, but you know what? But you know what, I was mad because when I did come and I got a t-shirt. What you gonna do with that one? Let me get that one. I love the pink, I love the pink, but I wish the pink said what the green said. Yeah, and see. The blue said it. No, in this case I'm talking because that's actually messed up. But the pink said it. You know, so. So they messed it up. Yeah, now I get why she say I'ma get one in each color. I thought that I ain't drunk, I just walked this way, so. Man, she want you to get that one up.
