 For anybody that I promise those backstage classes, it ain't no backstage, I'm just going to job come out here and make me look good, man, that's what I'm talking about. How's it going America? I'm James Bliley and welcome to the first ever episode of our vlog series. We're going to introduce you to some weird and wild people and we're just... You're the only weird one, James. You're the only weird one. Oh man. I'm ironing your shirt. Hi. You came to see me. I'm Charlie Junior. I'm a Facebook dude. Where are your socks? I was washing clothes, shoot, and somebody stole my socks out of the dryer. Yes, I'm the dude who does the videos, but right now, I'm in here and I'm in Key West, Florida. I want to go outside. I don't know where I'm in here. I want to go. You see this is what I'm talking about. Outside and open. Key West, baby. I ain't finna be cooped up in no hotel room. But like I said, man, this is Key West. You wondering why I'm here? It's because the Navy brought me here. Yes, I'm in the military, but I do comedy on the side. But with that being said, I do get free time. If you want to get better as a comedian, you have to hit the stage every time you get a chance. That's why I've been in the military. I've been so many places. California had a show. San Diego did a show. That's the same. I've been to California because I've been to Detroit. I've been to Memphis, California. Every time I got a chance to hit the stage, I hit the stage and each time I went there, I networked. I met another comedian who liked what I did. That's how you grow as a comedian. You have to network, man. It's all about hard work. I don't feel comfortable around loose roosters. They need ventilation or something. I like Key West, but it's all right. I started doing the social media videos and stuff like that. I just wanted more. And then I started seeing people saying that you can't be social media funny and funny on stage. To me, that was a challenge. So I started getting on stage. I remember my first open mic. Terrible. I wanted to quit. I wanted to quit. This will happen. One of my buddies from high school, he was a comedian back in my hometown. He was like, you can't stop, man. It's your first time on stage. Everyone's not going to be funny their first time on stage. And I just don't see myself feeling something that I feel like I have a calling for. If I make it to where I want to make it in this comedy game, it all goes to her. Mrs. Schema Franklin. She's been such a big supporter and a big push on my comedy game, man. You need your mentor. And she's the one that tells me, hey, you need to get your butt up. You need to write. You need to get on stage. You need to get in front of people. She has pretty much gave me the blueprint. Just pushing me toward being a better comedian. Yeah, so we're down here in the waterfront area, man. Probably about an hour and a half until the show. I really just enjoy myself and it's cool because down here, you really see where raw entertainment comes from, man. It's crazy because a lot of people ask me, why I get my material from? How do I entertain? And honestly, man, I get my material from life. It's crazy. My material comes from my son. He's hilarious. Being a father and being a sailor and just generating all that and putting it together, man. It's crazy because when I first started doing comedy, I didn't know where to grab material from. I was just, uh, okay, grabbing, grabbing, grabbing, grabbing. And like, comedian Shay Clemens, he's from my hometown, Jacksonville, Florida. He was like, hey, you know, you're good on stage, but stop reaching for material. Use your life. He's like, you're in the military. You're a single parent. I'm single father. You know, use that or whatever. Use your relationship with your son's mom. Like, how do y'all get along? He was like, use that. All that raw material that people can relate to. From any way, man, y'all, uh, I'm getting too emotional, man, and getting too deep, man. I got a show on in a few minutes, and I need to turn up, man. Charlie June, your hashtag on running. You already know the slogan. I got a show to get into, man. I don't have time. I always want to show respect to, you know, the person who put you on. I like to fit in, speak to them. Hey. What's going on, Joe? How are you? What's going on, my brother? Good to see you. Back again, thank you for having me back. This is Joe. This is who gave me a chance to do it. He put me on, like I say, but what, been about a year since first time? Yeah, gave him a call, and he kept true to his word, and let me get on the show again. Hey, it was great when he started, and he's gotten even better since. Trying to get it, man. Trying to get it, man. Same, our same time as last week. Yeah, yeah, the feature comedian tonight. Okay, cool. Yeah, so I'm really good to see you. Thanks for coming. All right, so now, you know, I'm outside the spot. Just met the owner of the spot. You know, normally before I get on stage, you know, I hit up my comedy partner. A lot of people come to the comedy game with a partner. We kind of like bounce out of material before we go on stage. What up, man? What up, fool? Really, I really don't know if I want to do the same set from last week, because you know, you know, we bring like the same people all the time. So I don't know if I want to do the same set, because it's on the last set rock last week, you know, to open up with the whole Navy SEAL thing, man. So I'm trying to see if I go back with that, or just, you know, freestyle a little bit and just do some, not new material, but something different. Hey, man, let me get off of here though, man. All right, then, bro. So that's kind of like what I do, whatever, you know, you know, just because you always want to get second thoughts, you know what I'm saying? You want to hear somebody from the outside, you know what I'm saying? Just like to coach you a little bit. It kind of kills the nerves a little bit. Kind of reassures you, like, yeah, I'm good, you know. So that's one of the things I do. Coming to the stage, a YouTube sensation, viral videos on Facebook, and a proud member of our United States Navy, put your hands together for Charlie Jr. Thank you, man. Who was there last week? Okay, cool. Y'all been here the same. I can't believe you come back. I'm not going to tell you a lot of difference. I'm going to tell you the same. No, man. No, for real. Man, real talk. I'm the first actual Navy SEAL out of my family. Thank you. Thank you. I've been highly trained by the Navy to seal up any leaky man. I can take care of this. It doesn't know whether you need it or not. I can picture that all that, man. Highly trained, man. Highly. I do everything but my job. I sweep. Thank you for your service. You don't know what I did today. Hey, man, what's up, Charlie Jr. Y'all follow me on YouTube. Facebook, Instagram, all that stuff, man. Keeps it up. I appreciate it coming out. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Appreciate it, brother. Thank you. Thank you. Man, great show tonight. It was a packed house just like last week. As soon as they called my name, you know, all the nerves dropped and all in all, you know, they laughed. They had a good time and that's the main thing, you know. Once you hit that real good roar, you're like, okay, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. And like I say, man, y'all been with me all day and it never stops, man. Like I say, I'm a father. I'm a sailor. Then I'm a comedian. My name is Charlie Jr. And you've been in the day of the life of me. And I'm tired. So I'm about to go get me some sleep because I got to get up and do it all the way again tomorrow. You know the slogan, hashtag all the way.
