And so what we like to do here, we like to go back, because when we jump straight into the book, what we like to go back to know, you know, you're upbringing, where you're from, family, mental illness, depression, all of that good stuff. So go ahead. I noticed that in your face. Well, shit, what family don't have some type of dysfunction in it? I was born and raised in South Central L.A., you know? Where I came from, you always hear rappers talk about, you ain't supposed to be here and all that, you know? I'm gonna kind of be all over the place if that's okay. That's fine. Go ahead. Born and raised in South Central L.A., I was the only black kid in an all-white private school. Ended up, obviously, as you probably know, I wrote on the TV show, The Original Fresh Prince of Bel Air, yeah, for four years, 93 to 97. One reason, Will Smith and I got along so well is the same way he grew up on the East Coast, was kind of similar to how I grew up on the West Coast. I know you got this book out, man, you know? And at the end of the day, man, you brought me a copy, I see, man. The funny don't stop. This is mine. I know it. You know it is. And I bought a shirt. And it's gonna be pretty much... Design it. Yeah, don't get assigned. And I seen here, you had Nipsey also in this thing, man. And I seen this as well. And this is my type of book. Yeah, this is the one I can read. And tell, yeah, turn to the ground. Why are you in a dress? Well, this is for me, man. Well, I'm gonna explain what this book is all about. The first two years I thought the Migos was Mexican. Oh, my God, I did, too. Oh, I just got my copy. You gotta get your copy. Alex Thomas, you are hilarious. You've been doing this for years. And I'm so glad that you are sharing it with the world now. The funny don't stop. This is my new book. It is called The Funny Don't Stop. The funny don't stop. When you say Alex Thomas, you say the funny don't stop with. In fact, let me hear y'all on three. One, two, three. The funny don't stop. One more time. The funny don't stop. Okay, that is also the name of my new one-hour special. Wow. That's also the name of my podcast. The funny don't stop show. And just, it's just like a commemoration of this year is my 30-year anniversary of doing stand-up comedy. That's what I was trying to say. What about when you was, when you, what, what memories do you have with you and Jamie Foxx working on that show? What was some of the fond memories? Man, it's incredible working with Jamie. I got real lucky early in my career, man, to work around people, not only that I respected, but I learned from. From being around Jamie Foxx every day at the Jamie Foxx show for three or four years. Being around Will Smith every single day for four years. From being around Martin, from being around Steve Harvey, from being around all these guys, you pick up things and apply it to you. But I never was them. I could only be Alex Thomas. You knew that. I'm not the dude that you could look at hours of my jokes. You could come to shows. You're never going to say that dude sounds like Chris Rock. He doesn't sound like Dave Chappelle. He doesn't sound like Kevin Hardy. No. Sound like that. No, no, I have my own style. I know, but I learned different things. I come from learning from the athletic world, even though I was never athlete. I'm a sports fanatic. Okay. And I always hear the greats talk about how they became who they became. You might hit me in such such a such a such was my favorite. Like I picked up how he dribbled and I learned how he shot and then I watched the way that dude played play defense and I just kind of ended up doing my own style. It was kind of like that with me would stand up. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. One on one. Yeah, we gonna talk.
