Listen, we got a guy here today, don't need no introduction, man. This guy right here, he's one of the guys, man, that I met, man, he'd be on that stage. You know what I'm saying? When you think about all the other guys that have been on that stage, I done seen everybody from Chico Bean, Country Wayne, all of these different comedians, Jesse McDonald, Myron, Cheatin' Ass Myron, my guys, Face On Love, you know what I'm saying? I done seen all of these guys, what's that boy, Huck the comedian, Eddie Griffin. And I ran into JB, man, it had been something real serious and different, man. What's going on with JB? I can't complain, man. JB is awful, man, listen, man, we still on the high from last night. You see, we got the Bubba Dub shirt on. Everybody wearing the Bubba Dub shirt. Shout out to Bubba Dub because last night, I love that new design, the new design night. Last night was serious. Last night, nigga. Man, listen, I was so proud, man, just to be a part of that whole movement, man. You guys smashed it. I remember when I came a while back, when we the first y'all filled up the one in Arlington, and man, you know it was a serious one because that was the first one where I want to say. First full sold out show. And what I loved about it is the fact that Bubba Dub got emotional about it. Correct, and D.A. Ellis, I think he was the one that was pretty much doing the MCing and hosting that night. They not be able to do it on a Sunday. Man, y'all killed it, man, like I said, but you can see the progress from last night, the way you got, and it wasn't the same jokes. Everything was totally different. These guys are different, man. To be honest with you, when I had Black Ron on here, he said there are some comedians that, and we ain't gonna say no names, that really don't want to be in the room with certain other comedians because they don't want to lose, they shine because D. Niggas is shining, man, the light is bright. Yes, sir. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank God for having me. Man, and we want to get all the way into it. I want to go all the way into who this guy is, let the people know what's going down. Yes, sir. Yeah, okay, when I listen to your jokes, you talk about country living. Yeah. So, I mean, you're from the country. I'm from the country, the Deep Woods. What part of the country you from? Well, I'm really from Santa Cruz. I was born in Montgomery, Alabama, pretty much. That's where the hospital's at. So, then you got to go on to Montgomery. How far is that from Montgomery? Probably about 35, 40 minutes. Almost out from Montgomery. How country is it? Shit, Niggas still got well water. Niggas still picking peas from for a living. So, it's country, yeah. It's country, man. So, people still do stuff the old fashioned way, you know what I'm saying? But it ain't that country, because when I think about country, I hear about, you said well water, so they don't have no septic coming to their houses? They got septic, some of them do. Some of them still got out of house. Yeah, because that's what I'm saying. Country is when you ain't got that septic running in there. Still got them, still dirt roads in 2023. Like real dirt roads, like shit crazy. Now like so, when you were coming up, man, I know being down in the country like that, what's the main thing that you remember? You know, is that red dirt? Red dirt, like red clay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was different about you coming up, you feel that other people didn't experience? Man, I had love when I grew up. I'm the only boy out of six. Wow. I'm the middle, I'm the third out of six. So, just bro. So, you spoiled rotten. I ain't gonna say spoiled rotten. I just, I ain't gonna say spoiled, but just grew up around love, man. Just learned to meet and love, cause some people grew up all survived, but I can peep that, you know what I'm saying? Being around women, different personalities, I can just peep things when it comes to people trying to get it up on me. Was that he around? No, he had no dad around, but I know my dad, but he wasn't around. He wasn't around? No. When was the first time you met him? I knew my dad up until the age of nine. All of the nine, then he stepped out? Yeah, stepped out. How long did it take for you to see him again after that? Man, my dad is still lying. I better see my dad. I don't live in my life. I can't chase you down, you can't chase me down. So, you know how hard feelings it's just like, once a man gets past a certain age, you can't be dependent, looking for no daddy. You know what I'm saying? So, I'm on. You say it wasn't no hard feelings, but as a kid, though, when, you know, maybe I just watched too much movies, cause I was never placed in that situation when my mom and dad was in the household together. I cannot tell anybody I know exactly how it feels. Now, everything, everything I'm like about my dad is what he showed me, what not to like about him. Like, what lying to me, standing me up, showing me, telling me to come get me and don't. Like, ain't nobody. So, as a child, you didn't like him at the time? I didn't like him. I was just like, I thought someone was wrong. Me kind of swindled in the scene, and I just, like about, hold on a minute. See, that's the part I was looking for. It ain't you. It's him. So, like, you can't let that old girl up. JB, you're sure you wasn't emotional cause you grew up around all women, right? No, man, I was around my granddad. Don't try to play me, man. I was around my granddad, Cooney, and my uncle's a lot. That's right? I was around my uncle's and my granddad a lot. So, that was a good thing about it too. So, you did have a male figure brown? Yeah, I had a lot of different all type of things. See, that's the part I was looking for because when I started saying that, you know, I watch a lot of movies and I get certain things from movies because when I watch movies and you talk about the father leaving and stuff like that, it shows the child always feeling like it was my fault, why you left. They always feel that type of way. I had a lot of other feelings for my uncle's and my granddad and them too, so. Like, I always had somebody else, so. So, you had the male role models? Yeah, they kept me busy too, doing all type of stuff. I started pouring concrete probably about three years old. Hey! For real. Drank a bit too. Let them tell it. So, when did you really think that you had a funny bone in your body, that you could tell some jokes? I've always been funny, let everybody else tell. I just tell them I just be myself, you know. It come up, it come out, but like really when I really realized it, like I was in the Marine Corps, that he was in the Marines and. Wait a minute, wait a minute. You came out of school and just say I'm going to the Marines? I was gonna go play ball. I had a full right of Southern Mississippi. Basketball? Football. Football? Yeah, I had a full right. What position? Safety. Were you good? I was pretty decent, yeah, I was pretty alright. I ain't gonna just say that, I let the people that's watching this let them chime in, y'all tell them how it was. I was him, back in my day. And so, you decided now I'm gonna just go to the Marine? Yeah, I'm like, I'm thinking about the long haul. If I get hurt in college, I ain't gonna get no chick, like I can get in the military. You know what I'm saying, rest of my life, I'm gonna get education regardless. You know what I'm saying, no matter anything, I'm gonna see the world. But who you knew that was in the Marines? My whole family. I'm just the first Marine, yeah. So it's like. So they were a military? Yeah, they bladed the trail. I come from a military family. Okay. So they bladed the trail with military, just seeing what I can get, just being in the military. So why Marines over the Army? Just wanted to be different. I had already had, my uncle's already on my Air Force Navy, so I'm like, I just want to be different. I wanted a challenge, so I joined the Marine Corps. Oh, okay. So what's the difference, though, with the Marine? Like, who's tougher? It's kind of like 12 weeks, you only get two phone calls, you let your folks know when you're getting there and let them know when you graduate. Ain't no, in between weekends off, y'all had training. Is one harder training-wise than the other? Yeah, it's like, no days off. Like, they can really beat you up at the Marine Corps, the old Marine Corps anyway. I don't know about the new Marine Corps. I've been out, about 17 years. How long you been in? How long were you in there for? I did eight years then. Eight years? Eight eight years. Why did you come out? I got a little trouble. In the military, I got it. Amin' self-made CNN. What's that? Amin' self-made. Administratively, kicking me out. Well, for what? Being a nigga. What did you do? I got accused of rape, robbing, and kidnap in Japan. Hold on, hold on. In Japan? Hold on, rape, robbing, and kidnap. Yeah, I was 25. How'd that happen? What happened? She was out on a night in Japan in Hiroshima, where they got in the Pearl Harbor, she was in the bomb, she was out being three of the Marines, and one was getting out of the attack in two days. And the chick I had picked up just been a player, been in the voicemail for about two years, and picked the chick up in the club, went out, had a good time on the town, and shit, we was in the parking lot doing our thing. And she go with us and stuff, you know what I'm saying? When she get caught by the police or what not, I get it. And she's a native? Yeah. Local. And she said she was raped, robbing, and kidnap. She gave like 14 different statements. Before it came out, it was a lie. And Marine Corps still tried to prosecute it, but I beat them. I was facing 99 years out of the post-bitter parole. So I'm just gonna live in testimony, man. Like, you can't tell me God ain't good. And you beat it. Beat it. Wow, did you go before a jury? I went for a whole court martial. Judging everything. They got mad at me because I went to testify against other Marines. I'm like, I can't do that. I can't testify against them shit I know they didn't do. I know I broke the rules and broke the curfew, but the other shit, come on, cause. Did all of them get off? All of them beat it. Okay, that's good. Yeah, all of them beat it. Wow. You didn't like. And they still boot you out. Even after you beat it. Yeah, and I was like, they stripped me of my rank and everything. You would think that, as long as you beat it, that you'd be good. It was an international incident. I was all a little seen in and they said, yeah, that shit, you can Google that shit. It's gonna pop up. And you'll go to Japan. Wow. Yeah, man, so. I think the main thing is God already have a plan. Most definitely. We think we walk in and we get doing this and doing that, but God has an ultimate plan that you gonna make it through and get to. For real? And I think a lot of times people put that, that thought in their mind, oh, I'm doing this. I'm gonna go over here. I'm doing that. God is the one controlling the whole thing. So I think that that's something that, so when you go through these trials and tells them he preparing you for something else so that later on in life, you'll be able to talk to and speak to certain situations that may be a cat that been in the military to face some situation. You can tell them, hey, man, don't do this. Or it's a chance you could beat that, man. Don't just fold over for the, you see what I'm saying? That's the stuff that I think a lot of times people don't realize, like you go through something just so that you could help others to get through it as well. You know? Most definitely. So man, that's, that's big. One more question after that is, does that affect you when you come, when you come out into the real world trying to get a job? Does that affect you? I ain't got anywhere. I'm retired now. They think. No, I know, oh, okay. So you didn't have to work again after that. I'm a comeback veteran. I did three tools in Iraq, so. Okay, so they didn't take away all of that. They can't take that shit. Even when they boot you out, they still can't take all of that. Unless you just do some just, try to softly, stupid, they can't take it. So I stay out of the way. I'm on the road doing comedy, doing what I love. Just my favorite, so I ain't know that. Yeah. You're on the road doing comedy, but it wasn't always you was on the road doing comedy. You were somewhere and you probably were cracking jokes. Yeah, nigga, you know what I'm saying? Your mama. Rankin'. Your mama this, your mama that. Yeah, your mama, nigga. Yeah. So how did you first get in, know that you had a niche for comedy? I don't know, just being around people. People be joking. They try, they try to joke on me a lot in school. And I keep them off of me. That's how I really learn how to really joke. People try and joke on me, that ain't no, he the little guy we gonna joke on him. When I start joking, you think I'm 10 feet, cause I ain't coming up off your head. I didn't want to fight. So I had to fight too, so. Yeah, yeah. But after you came out of military, how long did it take you before you jumped into comedy? I jumped right in. As soon as you came back. Somebody had bedded me in LA. I got booed in LA. Oh, okay. What happened? Nigga had bedded me $50. I bet you wouldn't get on the stage. So I was, I ain't got nothing to lose. Yeah, y'all get on stage, get that money. I ain't, everybody in military took my money, my unit. People, I was around. I'll get a funny bra as well. You're, shit, don't motherfuckers ain't think I was funny. Boo. What did you say? I don't know what the hell I said. You know that. What you drunk? I was drunk as a bitch, man. That was it. I got the $50 though. That was my ride home through the cab. But for real, man, I started in California. How did you feel? I said, damn, I can't believe I got booed. And I said, shit, I'm finna go work on this shit. And went home to Montgomery, Alabama and jumped in the head first. And it got with a comedy crew called Mr. Grimes Comedy Crew. We were doing views like a million a month just on YouTube and world stuff. Wow. You know what I'm saying? The shit, man, that didn't work out like I was going back and forth on the Greyhound to the improv on the open mics. On the Greyhound bus, man, hustling up bread. Not no home to get home. How old were you at that time? About 27, 28. Okay, so you started comedy late? Yeah. Okay. Started late. But there's no age cap on comedy though. You can start comedy anytime. I told him I got myself together, man, Wayne got to work now so I can really focus on comedy now. So I did the back end on the front end. So you started doing your comedy there. Now where's the next place that you end up at? And when you in, where's the next stage you get up on and you know, like, I'm gonna go in and give it a shot? That's the spot we had in Montgomery, Alabama. They tore it down. That was like my gym. I worked out this place called The Owners Box, the seventh floor. Shot of Chimp, man. Every Saturday, we have comedy shows up there. I started as like the guy on the low, on the low guy on the totem pole. Going first, working my way up, then being the headliner and stuff like that to do my own shows at that place, man. They tore that place down, it kinda hurt me a little bit, but I'm like, I'm ready to go do this thing. And then I decided to move to Texas. Wow. And you moved to Texas now. Now let's talk about, cause you have a special relationship with Dionne, right? Dionne Sanders and Junior, you know, Dionne Junior. Yeah, Junior, the boy that I met up in Vegas to try and sell me them clothes. I like him. But anyway, like, now he dealing with the camera. They got him out there. So let's talk about that for a minute. Like, how did you end up, was it because you was a cornerback or how did you end up dealing with Dionne? That's crazy about that. I wind up dealing with Junior, the power of social media. Really? On Twitter. Oh, okay. Yeah, like, Nick was talking about, you know, he's like the hood of Donuts. I don't want to do enough of that in the white box. So him and Pops, Pops respond, how you gonna be talking about you want Donuts in the white box? You got to trust fun. You know what I'm saying? So I said, yeah, on Twitter. So I stood a shit pack. Oh, I see what they got going on. And I seen the clothing line, like my land name Brad will, I like Pops, but I want to work with Junior. Beal something, beal something together with him, make it strong. Like Pops already got that going. He got this crew. I want to do something with Junior, reached out to him. Hey man, I got my own car, clothes, money hoes and everything, bro. I want to be a part of something great. What's up? I can move to Dallas next week. He said, move, shit, I was gone by Monday. Wow. So that's how you end up in there? In Dallas. You reaching out to Dionne Junior? Yup. Started as brand ambassador every time something dropped. I'd buy every color with he had. Out of my pocket. Didn't matter what it was. Wow. Bought everything, you know what I'm saying? Then after that, he's like, your money ain't no good in the most that are being an ambassador. I'm finna make you partner. Wow. I'm round with this thing. But that's so crazy because when you think about a brand ambassador, the ones that I see on Instagram and stuff like that, cause you say you buy all of that out of your pocket, all these brand ambassadors in today's society, they expect to get something for free. I had to work up to that. You understand what I mean? No, but when you see them, they just coming up. Exactly. They just think that that's what brand ambassadors do for the main fact you're saying that. You bought it all. That's totally different. I should have said I can invest, bro, to be invested with. I like that. I'm willing to ask you like, what did you see in Dionne Junior? Being that he's so overshadowed by his father. Meaning his father, you can't get around no lights. I just... You can't get around the damn lights because the nigga just, the nigga, you know, everything he do, he the best to do it ever. He great. He do it at elite level. For me, Dionne is the best ever to do it, period. But I'm just saying how, what do you see in his son that make you know there's something special there? For one, no cap. His work ethic for one, you know what I'm saying? Like it's hard to be somebody that ain't gonna quit. About like me. And then like she is hard to really give with somebody and somebody genuinely give you a chance. He genuinely gave me a chance. Wow. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people don't really do that. When you first see him and you meet him and you get up here, what's the conversation like when you first... Oh shit, when I first got here, they had a welcome party for me. What now? When I first got here. Who the hell was at this welcome party? It was his mama's birthday, mama's C birthday, Deionne's birthday. She was lit. We was at the, I don't know if we get the red jacket. Lit, set out and everything. They gave me a shout out and everything. Welcome, bella, it takes it all type of shit. But the crazy part, somebody busting into my truck the morning before. Okay. I ain't worried about that shit. I get that fix, I got the insurance, but they turned it out for them, set it out for them. And they just embraced you. That's God, man. That's favor, man. It felt like family after that. Yeah, we've been family since. Favor ain't fair. I'm telling you, for you, everybody can't get on Twitter and link up with the Sanders like that. Right. That's being. They did their background check on me too. They told me they did their background. How did they do it? Oh man, I don't know how they did it, but... They knew somebody that knew you, that knew you was good people. They knew all that shit, so... You have to know all of that before you welcome somebody into your family. Wow. And so, and you say, what sticks out to him is he just don't quit. Cause I'm gonna tell you now, and I always tell him this, I told him this when I seen him down there at the club. Cause I ran into him, he wasn't with him. No, not the next time. No, it was me and my wife. It was another time. And I had met him in Vegas, Junior. Yeah, he was at the convention. Yeah. And I told him up there, your daddy is a football player. I can't see how I'm gonna buy clothes from you. I really did tell him this, and I didn't believe him at first because you don't think, you're like, okay, usually the son ain't gonna really, I ain't paying him too much attention. Then fast forward to now and see him still dealing with it from the gold brand and all that stuff. Well off. Well, just standing there being consistent and motivating and driving himself. And then to be a family, like he's a team player. Like he's out there with the camera. He figures out a way to be dynamic in whatever source that D on him had got going on. And I think that's powerful, man. That's definitely. I love on kids trying to come up under a shadow when they parents, you know, you see that hip hop to kids. Yeah, hip hop kids. What's the name of that show? Growing up Hollywood or something. Yeah, growing up hip hop or something. Like when you see those kids, a lot of times it's a struggle. I mean, I deal with a lot of different one, like from a little soldier slim. I deal with a shorted low junior. And there's a few more, like who fathers, you know, passed away or, you know what I mean? Or that was famous and stuff. And it's just, you see them in some special in those kids, man, because they having to be out here in the shadows of their parents. Exactly. You know, and it's crazy, but for them, I just always seen that as, okay, he on the hell of a father to even stick it, you can stick it through and have them. I didn't know that other boy was still playing. I think he too old to be in college. Yeah, he a grad. He already out. A grad transfer. He graduated with a grad transfer. What does that mean? You graduate from school, get your degree. Yeah. And you have for your edge ability to play as a graduate. Really? Yeah. So this is the last game? Yeah, yeah. Last year? Yeah. Did you think he gonna take it all away? Yeah, I think so. Going to the NFL? Yeah, good trip. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. He called him one early in his last game. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, somebody said he didn't have a daddy speed, but shit, everybody's cold. He's cold. He's cold, so. Yeah. Like I just say, it's always that big old brightening light where you, you know what I'm saying? How do you feel about them? And I'm gonna get off the sandals in a minute, but how do you feel to Colorado? You know, he left Jackson. Keep on rolling. You know what I'm saying? You had to get off down there. Like I said, I won that, so I can't say. You know what I'm saying? It's beautiful to me. Yeah, but. I'd love to see it. Oh yeah, yeah. Like for us going to Colorado and making that transition. Turning everything around and the positivity going on. I love it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I love it. All right. Well, we're gonna get in back into the comedy now, but shout out to them. Let's talk about it. Let's talk. Okay, so after you traveling back and forth, cause you're very motivated. Yes, you came here and you started dealing with that. Once you started dealing with that, did it take away from your comedy because you started to have to try to invest in this brand? I definitely put comedy down for a little bit. Right. People were like, well, you got shots of it, man. I'm doing it. Exactly. Folks on the brand are well off. Got this going, but I do skits in between, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. And in between working with Junior, people would pick me up, put them on their tools. Curb and Claybourne did it for like a year. Then after that, I sat down for a little bit, went on to again. Was that your first tour? No, I did. I did a lot of tours myself. What was your first tour? My first tour was self-funded by myself. Okay. Called Six Drills in Comedy. Yeah, man. I did that me and my cousin, a fat boy swole. We did that. I ain't have a camera, I had a cell phone. And that shit looked pretty good for what it was back then. So I just kept rolling with it and just kept growing the brand. So when did you decide to say, okay, now well off is good. Let me go ahead and go first you to comedy. After me and Junior come to grips with it, it's like, you growing, bro, I'm growing. You know what I'm saying? I see what this doing. I'm like, shoot, bro. I'm still gonna be with you, but I can't be there with you right now. I got still, I got a little my dream too, bro. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna see you at the top. How long ago was that? About three years. Three years ago. I've been a tour of Dub since. Let's talk about that. My boy Bubba Dub. He frequents the show. We was met down in Houston. We was down in New Orleans together. We was together last night. It was my birthday. We was in our New Orleans. Really? You know what? You ain't say nothing. Shit, we were too late. But then, you know, I went to that little after-get-up with y'all, but I was like, man, you know, we older, so, you know, I'm going to the room. I got to cut out on your dub. Y'all kick it. We stay too low. Be safe out here. Everybody left. Everybody left. Not because he was saying he was going down to... We went down to the quarter. The ride. That's right. Fresh quarter. Yeah, we didn't do that. We used to that long. He's like, this is it. But I knew y'all would get ride out. I said, get laid, babe. We got to get out of there. We stay too low, y'all. They finna cut up. Otherwise, I'd say, hey, man, it's time to go. And y'all niggas don't care nothin' about it. Nothin' down here in New Orleans. Even be a young boy that I know. Yeah, yeah. So we, I definitely enjoyed that down there. But so, like, you hangin' out with Bubba Dub, how did y'all even end up meeting? Like, what did you... Like, how did y'all link? Me being the cameraman for Junior and everything else. Really? Shootin' the skit. Ain't in it just playin' my part, playin' my role. What kind of skit Bubba Dub doin'? Junior got pulled over in the car with the police right here. Guns, dope, pills, everything. They'll say, damn, Junior, you got guns in the car, you got pills, you got shit. And I'ma tell them, I'ma tell them the police niggas, you gonna get 40 years. That was him? Yeah, it was him. I said, damn, I'll try my best not to laugh. But that was the skit. And after that, Jackson State thing was transpirin' me. I'm like, man, oh, I won't go do my comedy thing. It was a mutual agreement. We'll see you at the top. Wow. And then you hit up Dub and... Dub hit me up. Oh, he hit you up? Really, Dub? Why he hit me up? Okay. And it was looking for somebody that could hit the road with him that could just up and go and got that holdin' him back. And I emailed Dub probably about four months. Hey, man, I'm a camera guy, whoo-do-whoo-do-whoo-whoo. They ain't get back with me, dude, when they called me. I went out, nigga, I been callin' y'all, nigga, got never shit. And he out wantin' to win. I said, I been callin' y'all, nigga, they up. They said, well, we had to sort it out so we wanted. And you the best candidate, when can you start, nigga? Nah! Nah! And shit, ain't took a break. Ain't took a break. Ain't took a break. I know, it's just, it's fascinating to see how you guys rollin', man. Like, you guys from city to city, man. Like, I talked to Dub, he's like, man, I'm in Chicago, North Carolina, I'm over here. I'm over here. We got Sis and Maddy and Cleveland. Oh, I and Sis and Maddy and Cleveland. They just come back to back to back comin' up. You see what I'm sayin'? Y'all everywhere, man. Gotta be excited to be movin' like that. Yeah, but I want to talk about the importance of speakin' things into existence, because earlier you were sayin' that when we saw you down there when we were lookin' at, both lookin' at clothes, and this was before you actually did the skit. He, Bubba Dub, did the skit with Junior, right? Yep. And you were talkin' to Ian, you were like, man, yeah, I wanna do somethin' with Bubba Dub. Yeah, so I worked with the nigga Bubba Dub. Right, so that was even before the skit, before you meetin' him, anything like that. And it's very important in speaking what you want into existence, because don't think the skit's not gonna come through. I told my folks, I'm a example there, I told my sister, I'm gonna go broke for this shit. I damn it did, I was sleepin' in my car at one point. Wow. You know what I'm sayin'? Homeless. Like I said, homeless, I asked him where to stay, but pride, like y'all really don't think I could do this shit, and shit, now they see me, everybody love me, now I got cousins, they ain't know what I had, now. I see you on the thing with Bubba Dub, you damn sure did, didn't it? I don't know. Do you have any children? I don't got no kids. No kids, got no, earlier you were sayin' that you were married before. I'm glad I'm out of that, Dub. It was tough, wasn't it? Ain't gonna say tough, man. She just wanted to write one for me. How long were you married for? Just a few years. Just two years? In one long, in one long. Oh, okay. But, you know, at the end of the day, man, going back to the Bubba Dub deal, like you guys, y'all now, y'all movin', what is the most, what do you get from Bubba Dub, just being you guys workin' together? Man, I learned a lot from Bubba Dub. I sit around him, just took up everything. Like, when somebody puts you in places and spaces that they ain't gotta have you in, you gotta just really take advantage of that, man. And he showed that in Louisville, Kentucky, you know what I'm sayin'? I wasn't in the room with him in D.L. Hughley, but he said, I got my guy J.B. Yachter, he up next, you know what I'm sayin'? Got, came, looked out there and came and found him. Wow, he is? Yeah, man, yeah. Pretty cool, man. That's pretty cool. Like, that showed that he ain't just, yeah, but every time we have a show, he ain't like it's my show, it's like this our show. Yeah. But I ain't killed this time. Wow. Started working alongside with him. And you said you wanted to do business with Bubba Dubb. Why him? There's millions and millions of comedians everywhere. Just, he original. He doin' stuff and been dumbin' forever. All that niggas shit. I said, man, it can't be for real. It can't be told to those million damn folks in the live right here today. I said, I like what he got goin' on here from the country just like me. So, just see hand in hand. Just people that doubt you and don't believe me. You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah. I said, I wanna work with this guy. Wow. I think that's noble that you guys have figured it out. Like, a lot of people don't. I've watched a lot of comedy shows and a lot of times, you know, the flow, the way y'all flow, you know. It's not boring, it's not, everything is, you know, you anticipating the weight, you know what I mean? But it's a build up. It's a build up. And I just enjoyed, like I said, just sent back relaxin' and lookin' at the progress from the last time I seen y'all to now. You can see. And like I said, all the, wasn't none of the same jokes. It was straight up just a whole different show. Give me a whole new flavor. A whole new flavor. Like, I mean, what do you, who else do you admire when it come down to the comedy world? I like a lot of old comedians. I really don't watch any of the comedians like the new ones. Like what old? Like who? None of them. No, like what old comedians? The old, Rudy Ray Moore, Richard Pryor, Red Fox, Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Them kind of Robin Harris. Yeah, them. Which is your favorite out of all of them? Burning Man. You just had to, why are you trying to tell him? I'm about to say that, Burning Man. Burning Man. That nigga used to talk to you. What's your favorite joke? Burning Man, The Motherfucker Joke. I did not, what I tell you last night. The Motherfucker Joke. Tell me one. Tell me one. No, it's just, I can't, I can't say that joke. It's just that joke, just. Your boy bit off of him last night. What's his name? I forgot the name. No, I'm talking about the one that was on the show with y'all. The one that was up for you. The hell, the hell. He kept saying the hell, that's what I tell you. He keeps saying it. That ain't from The Motherfucker, man. Yeah. That joke, it can't be duplicated in the crazy part about it. He did it right there on the spot. Just off the dome. Last night, I did a few off the dome people talking to me. Like when I told nigga, I said, I can't tell you that ain't supposed to be up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit was scripted. Just off the dome. Yeah, it ain't supposed to be up here nigga. That was hard, that was hard. Sometimes I prefer those off the dome jokes better than some of the scripted ones. Because I can tell which one, because this other guy who was up there, he did that because somebody's phone started ringing or something like that. He started making a joke on them. But then when it was time for him to come back and go back to his other joke that he already started, he forgot where he stopped. But then the crowd helped him out exactly. But I like that. How hard is it when you go into a room and there ain't many people out there that you doing the show for? And you have to keep that momentum up and that keep your build up up, you know what I mean? You better be ready. Like I tell them. I tell niggas every show, it's a junk out there. I say, for one, they ain't come to see us. They come to see bubble dubs. No niggas ain't scared to tell you that. We ain't come to see, we can't see dubs. They did that night. And before I went on stage, so I'm like, God. They did before they were... Yeah, they did. So I'm like, I did be swinging and fighting the night. Oh, you kids? Wasn't you the next person out there? I'm like, the niggas gonna fight hard, but I gotta fight there every night to prove my love right this motherfucker, man. But shit ain't worked out. No. The niggas that said, I'm glad you went up to that nigga. I ain't gonna even say that, but you had to been there to see it. Yeah, it definitely was a, it was, it was dope. It was live. I enjoyed it. I know, when I see you go up, I'm excited. Oh yeah. Because I know the whole, you know... You knew about that time? Yeah, no, I just know the history. No, I just know the history. I'm watching the progress, you know what I'm saying? And I'm proud that you, I know you ain't up there for no reason. You hitting the stage every damn weekend, every day sometimes. So I know you with practice and we're going all the time, you just gonna get belt and belted like wine with time. But not only that, is it all of the other people who be on the show don't always be on the show, but you're that one staple that always go everywhere with him. He interchanged with everybody else, but you're always there. Exactly, that's a blessing too. That's a big blessing, man. Like I said, and he saw another day trash, man. What did you say the first time you heard him come up with trash? Like, where was you at and what was you thinking? Man, it was a pandemic. I was with Junior, we was making clothes. And we all, he said, Famo, look at this little nigga. I said, who is that? He said nigga named Bubba, I said, let me see you got that phone. Nigga said, trash. I said, this little nigga's gonna do something. I gotta work with this nigga. He's gonna do something. And shit, after that, shit just happened. Wow, that's crazy. Like I said, it'd be tough. Got that record skis holding the damn phone, trying not to laugh at the nigga, man. Yeah, yeah. I gotta do one with him. It'd be tough, not to laugh, man. But the shit be funny. You've been turning up on the skis here lately. You've been doing a lot more. I just gotta keep up with you. I've been watching your page, like, I would see, I said, man, he gonna, are you gonna look at something and give your analysis? What the hell is that? Oh, yeah. I've been watching you. I say, he finding his way in this world. I gotta care to right now, I'm really doing called a Hoochamane James. Okay. I got that one right there. He been really turning up. You know, he was born here in Dallas, Texas. So I keep everything, play, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. You and me, and keep it Texas style with Hoochamane. Wow. That's crazy, man. Like I said, I remember him, he was in some shorts. Yeah, doing a little bit of shorts. I remember them, with them boots. Yeah, Hoochamane. For the cowboy boots or something. Yeah, he had a boot in the joint though. Right. Hoochamane got a whole new one. He got a whole new one, something like that. And that wig and the- And the rings and everything. Yeah. Man, I like it, man. Like I said, you one of them guys that people gotta look out for. How many times do you think a person should post weekly or daily when he dealing with being a comedian? Or content creator. That's not rude. Ain't no days off with this shit. Content creator, comedian, like trying to make sure you stay in the, you know, and you want people to see you in your lane and in your element and being an artist, you should be able to come up with new, developing things on a weekly or daily basis that excludes the stage presence. How hard is that being? Or is that easier? I wouldn't say that's the hard part. The hard part just being consistent. Cause so much is going on. Yeah, just keeping that shit going. That's the main part, cause you can post a good skit today and do numbers and you think you can take a day off. Another thing if you're gonna come up and do the same thing. Like you gotta get your spot back. Yeah. Cause like I just keep going. I ain't got no formula. I just keep going and just keep doing it. So I'm gonna hit, some gonna pop. So I'm gonna hit like fishing. Yeah. Some gonna pop. Just keep throwing that thing out there. All the fishing bait, yeah. Just keep going, keep working it. Being a comedian, how important is it to keep your mental space a certain? You gotta have that right. Right. Man, that shit ain't right. Me and your girl then just black out. I done did it before. Play it off. What happened? I haven't even bought them one. Down there I got there and lost my damn mind a little bit. But the cry, I didn't know. I'm like, what the fuck I'm finna say? Shit. Were you having a bad day or something before? I ain't got a bad day. I wasn't really, really, really what I needed to be. Okay. Then I did what PTSD and all that shit. They ain't no excuse though, but I went up there and went blank. But I got that shit together though. I cut my sitting hair. And shit me and Bubba Dog talked about it. Since then, I've been a pit bull on that bitch. I ain't playing. I notice you don't do any military jokes. I really don't want to talk about that. I got a whole goddamn book on that though. I know you do. That's why I'm like. I went on to like the big special. I could just talk about that. Okay. Do that really for the military. The USO stuff. I like that. Just really get them that. Just let the weirds see who I am and then show them the military side. Who have you seen outside of Bubba Dog that really have impressed you when it come down and come in on night where y'all went out and you just happen to be on the same card with them? It don't have to be somebody big and be somebody who just doesn't say anybody. It could be somebody big or somebody whatever. That's a good question right there. Shit. With a lot of stages. I know. With a lot of people. I'm glad you laughing like crazy. I'd say that guy from, I forgot the nigga name. He in Jackson though. With glasses. Oh yeah, you can see him. I can't see him but I can't think of his name. He was funny. Funny as hell. He had hosted Chuckles down there for his injection. Okay. Real funny guy. Real funny. Yeah, he's funny. And he ain't rolling. Cause you don't run across it all the time. You don't. He had good engine from the start to the finish of the show. Really? He kept that thing going how it started. That's how that thing. And I value what you saying because I know you see this in and all day light out. That nigga name Marco. Marco? I think. He wear glasses, got a little goatee. Ball hit it. He be with a, he be with a fuck man. Memory fucked up right. Got a look. Mine going blank right now. For real. No, because I, for some reason I always feel like, okay, because not all comedians hosts, but some comedians do host other people. And I feel like in order for you to, when you get to practicing hosting, it helps your comedy as well. Do you agree? You gotta be a motherfucker to host. Cause you can't go out there and just say the same thing. You gotta keep the crowd going. You gotta interact with everybody. You gotta know what you're doing. I got a story about that with Bubba Doug. He said, JB, we're gonna switch it up tonight. You ain't performing. You hosting. I had to host, I had to host a Laurel. And no motherfucking woman playing, but I did that bitch though. I did a good job. When you went out there, when you didn't know how you were gonna do it. That was your first time. What you say? Coming to the stage? Don't even say, we want Bubba Doug. I said, he coming. God damn it, hold on. Ain't no motherfucking guy right. Just kept it from there. Wow. You kept your jokes rolling in the middle of it. How many people did you bring up? Man, shit. I bought five people up. Wow. And you made that thing happen. I made it work. What's the hardest city? Laurel was, I said, the hardest hosting. And I had hosted Memphis. We had did Chuckles. That's when that first gave me the chance. I was a cameraman. Yeah. I said, oh, you're a comedian. We're gonna let you host. And I hosted in Chuckles in Memphis. Wow. I went from there, yeah. Man, I mean, you guys, man, like I said, y'all bring the city out. I seen everybody there from Yellow Bees, Bay Bay, who else was in there? It was a bunch of people in there. A lot of them, man. But those two stick out to me. It's just something else to see, you know, the city come out for you guys. I see when y'all went in TI, y'all. I see y'all with TL, you know what I'm saying? Who else? Just different play. Oh, Mike Yelps. Yeah, Mike Yelps. Like I see people, you know, y'all link up. You go into these different places. And it's a good thing that all you guys have great chemistry together. It is a difference between the comedians that were old, the older comedians that you just mentioned versus, because they were doing hour, two hour specials. Well, special, man. You remember that? And the shit be crazy. I don't remember watching, but I just remember listening to him on eight tracks. Yeah, yeah. My granddad and stuff like that. And that's the difference now. You 30 minutes maybe at tops. But the thing with bubble girl, he can do an hour and a half. Then he can go, okay. You know what I'm saying? I'm to the point that I can give you a good solid 45 to an hour. Wow. Yeah, so that's the crazy part about it. Having a good time. And I said, I ain't gonna get all my rocks off. I had a whole lot of more jokes to go. That's all I meant. Courtesy to the other comedians in Florida show. So I gotta cut it short, so. Yeah. Man, I love you guys, man. Like I said, I love you JB. I want you guys to keep killing it like y'all been doing, man. Top three comedians of all time, dead or alive. Top three. Number one. Number two. Ooh, number two. Richard Pry. Number three. Me. Wow, that's hard, man. I love it, man. So man, hey man, how can people get a whole day if they trying to rock out? You can Google me. Jarell Braswell, Big Brass, Comedian JB, The Real J Braswell, BDE boys, Team BDE. Y'all see what it is, man? Anytime y'all coming like Bubba Dub did when he came early and I was able to get it out, did you see when I put the post out just showing that y'all was gonna be at the improv? We appreciate that. If you guys, like when you guys come to town early or whatever, just stop through so I can get something out. So we can put it out there so people can know from our page. Even if you coming through town and doing a show, hit me up. We're gonna rock out at Boss Talk, you know what I'm saying? Cause that's what this for, man. People who really rock with us, man. You know God put us together, look how it happened. In no way and ever we could have wrote that out to happen the way it did. We could have messed that up. We could have. We could have messed that up. I mean I don't fucking know where we got it from. That's right. It's over there. It's a lot of shit over there, man. It's a lot of shit over there, cuz. We would think that I met you and Bubba Dub at two different times. Two different times. And two different places. And at the end of the day, we all still came right back together. And they're crazy. And the love you showed us when we got there. You said, man, that's Boss Talk, man. That's Boss Talk, man. That's Defoe too. That's right, man. He loves us, man. Defoe fuck with me, like, all the rest of y'all. I know. They fuck with me. That's right, man. That's what y'all talking about. That was so much love. Bleed the game when we noticed it. We talked about that. We got right to the rule and I said, you said I had told him you got the way in Boss Talk got in here. You told him that? Shit, you know. He ain't even done it. You ain't even got the way. Shit, man. Thank you so much, man. We love you, JB. Love y'all, too. It's been another great segment of Boss Talk 101 know what a boss is talk. And we out.
