 Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna put that work in so I put that work in like the first comic that put Me under his wing and took me Spend time with me to get better with phase on love. Yeah, that's my boy That's you know, so I mean we're best friends to this day. That's all it you know and and you know He's never just catered. You know, he's not what he's he's built a lot of comedians a lot of comedians that are out You've been doing a long time. Yeah, but and then you know, it is I call him the lazy comic He should he's why you calling because because he should be the greatest You know, but because he's such a great person and a great actor people sleep on his comic as comedian Yeah, yeah, because the comedy angle is What started him? But you know, he loves his he loves his acting. Yeah, but I still think they don't even you know, like You've never seen a special and that's his choice that you haven't seen him in his special yet Because he wasn't in a rush where everybody's rushing. They want to get the Netflix They want to get the Netflix, you know, that's not he's gonna do his special when he wants to do a special before he retired He he travels when he wants to do you believe him that he said he gonna retire? No He take time off he now we're not we let him because he can't stay He can't it's it's in it. He's gonna get bored. He gets bored. He takes breaks He'll do a couple movies. He'll come back on the road. He hates the road that I know he hates airports He hates the road, you know, but it's in him because when y'all go through the airport That's the one thing I always wondered when y'all go through these airports. Don't y'all get bombarded by people I can I get Exactly He can't move Kenny. He can't move. That's why he hits the airports, you know, and you know what? He never turns down No matter how much he hates his fans, you know, like because you know you he'll be sitting down and they'll come up We went to breakfast yesterday and he was like, oh, the cook came out from the back the waitress I don't mean to bother you. Well, yeah, you are And it's not but people you got to remember they're the ones that built him, you know That's why he does what he does but people do that because they don't know if they'll ever see him again Well, and you know, you don't realize what he does realize how much how much Joy, yeah, it brings you bring in this in this ugly world, especially as a comedic actor or a comedian like you ain't gonna see You know I seen phase on in a love story without making somebody laugh Whether it be an adventure movie even his he's gonna bring it It's funny from the beginning the lines, but he brings so much joy to people live He's busy us as comics that you know, like I'm on the road also now with Gary Owen and that was I've never seen him perform before that was through phase on right and It was kind of it was solidified because I was with phase on phase I was doing movies. I wasn't with phase on for a while and it was like, yeah I had an opportunity to go on with Gary and You know, I see how these guys live their lives, you know phase on is of course at such a level of with his movies and things like that, but People just bombard them and they get you know, so we live this life with these comedians You know, I I shot a special and we had it on hold because it was a culture a canceled culture Didn't going on. Oh, so what's happening is as comedians knowing your place, you know We were calling their features, right? Because that's what they call the comic that opens up for the headline right feature to me That's the most important role to a headliner to build someone up And that's how we learn how to be because some of the best comedians. I know our features, you know They can headline, you know, I can headline, but we don't we're not ready for that till we learn That's the argument we was having About about country Kevin and all of that, you know Here's the truth country we never featured for anybody he didn't so let me tell you who I work with our course phase on He's now home everything phase on Charlie Murphy. And that's the little ones. I've done until Givens I don't know now. Wow, but for Dio Hughley over for Gary Owen over for Kevin ones, I Mean it is I've worked with all Female, but how do you how do you Kevin? That's a different type of like his comedy is different His stand-up is not the same as it's different No, Kevin started if you people don't know Kevin Kevin was right there doing the same barbecue joints and little comedy clubs Kevin that's you know now. It's because you Kevin that you see how was it when you was working with him early on I did I did a weekend, right? I just was an open guest and Kevin is probably one of the another one of the most smart smartest businessman he's the one that told me to hold on the special because So many people go to him for advice Yeah, because what he did was he started out getting his first contract right live nation going on tour and that as soon His contract was over. He didn't sign another one. He created his own Company and he created his own tours So and then he has his clicker guys that he keeps and that's what started here So we had a click and I wanted to go up and phase I was like no You gotta relax right cuz his guys with a plus plastic cup boys. We were phase on guys phase on we call ourselves nasty boys So, you know myself comedian Mario hodge. We were like we'll eat those guys up You know cuz we didn't think they were funny, you know, that's just a little competitive edge, you know But you know, we learn from these headliners. So you learn from a phase on you know phase on gets out, you know Even now at some point If phase on doesn't see you grow, he'll give you the advice. He'll give you opportunity But then you can't get on the road no more. Wow. It's not there's no disrespect You got to go do your own thing. Yeah, be the same stale bread, you know That's why you know when I got his blessing to go on the road with Gary It was one of those things was it was like will grow, you know, Gary was doing a lot more stages And the only way I can get better was getting on the road And earning a spot. So we got to earn our spot, you know, we you know, you funny is is Funny you could be funny in the conversation right we can sit here and laugh But you know, I open up in Memphis. I open up in Mississippi, Alabama, Detroit, Florida West Coast East Coast and now I'm a Hispanic comic. I'm opening up for urban shows. I'm doing all these cities. I've done Last year was 35 cities Over 300 shows and that's where you learn to get better because the crowd You know, you got to make that crowd in that city laugh like Austin You know, I was just in Austin about four months ago, but then I come back to Austin You got to know a little bit about the city who's out here, you know, I would never met you yesterday I would never think I see Jamaican in Austin, you know And then black blacks in Texas are different, you know blacks in Texas are different than blacks in from the East Coast or some of these big cities, so we are You know, I guess transposing and growing is what makes a better comedian. So I Think the main thing you got to understand is when I see, you know When I come out to see the phase-on shows like like yesterday Like I think it's a it's a difference because you can the the comics are seasoned and you know that you're getting that level of professionalism with the guys that he's choosing and I think that's what you know That that because I've been going to a lot of shows and you get these you get like five or six people That's going up in the lineup and they trying to figure out, you know How to how to and it'd be you like he was good, but that one wasn't that good, you know And it's even hard for us so like it's hard for us to go on the road with because here's the thing Like, you know right now, you know, it's me and scruncho this weekend with phase on right and you know Scruncho is a legend right scruncho is is man. He's such a he beats. He's a beast and then, you know This is the first time actually scruncho night, you know, we knew each other we work together Yeah, so, you know, I gotta be a beast and then we rotate over for him. He opens for me But we know what we got to do But we only doing 15 minutes 20 minutes each 15 20 most of us could stay up there for our oh, yeah You can do our own show. Yeah, so we got to cut it down because that's not our job Our job is to make sure we but you can tell already You could tell y'all not not just amateurs that y'all got it, you know a lot of time Like I said you go to these shows and it's one hit then the other one don't hit Then the other one and that's a different type of show comedies like everything else. That's that going to a concert, right? You know, like, you know, you have your you know, it's If you don't you go to a level a lower level show You're gonna get that you're gonna get locals people that get on stage. So it doesn't you know, like I told you I did I was on stage over 300 times last year. Wow last year last year long So, you know, we doing anywhere from five to 10 shows in a weekend So you got to learn You got to learn your set you got it Then you got to change your set if you're going back to a city Like I had to do a little bit different because I was in austin four months ago So I can't just do the same jokes and then you just transform into the next year That you're going to return cities. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk
