 Big shit. It's a unique hustle nigga. Big shit. Big shit. Big shit. Name another podcast like this. We're gonna bring it to the table. Ball's top. Who your... Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique hustle. It's your boy, E.C.O. Number with the lovely, amazing, outstanding official. Miss Jamaica Waite. Walk on, you know my dad? Hey man, we got a guy here today, y'all. I think he's from, he's from Parts Unknown. He's been in Philadelphia. He's all over the place, man. You in Atlanta now? I'm in Atlanta now, yeah. Munchies in the building, AKA Bob Lowe's in the building. Y'all done seen him all over the internet? This guy, hey man, he's funny as hell. And he's here, man, in Texas. Daddy is Dallas, man. Thank you for coming on the show. Oh, they're like, wait, what's up? I don't know what's going on, we made it. I don't want to know. We're not thinking about munchies. I think about somebody who be smoking weed and you get the munchies afterwards. What munchies coming from? Everybody get the munchies. Like, you don't have to smoke to get the munchies. Like, you ever just chilling like, you know what, I crave a doughnut. You don't chill. Munchies is munchies. Munchies is more connected to weed, because anytime you smoke, you got to eat. Right. But just in general, people, some people just like, naturally like the snack on stuff. So you always munching? Munchies, yes. Yes, but the character, I never named the character until after I came back from getting. I spoke about the character on stage, but I never gave a name. I said my cousin, my cousin, my cousin, but I never gave him a name. And then when I came back and I had to wait a month, a month and a half for my green card, the wife was like, yo, if you can't film with nobody, just film with yourself and create characters. And I don't know where it's like, I put the beanie on and I was like, ooh, this dough is cactus dough. Because I had the accent down and I had the finger waves like, hey, you know what I'm saying? The laughter to go with it. So she was like, dang, we came up with names. And I was like, you know what, I'm about to get something to eat. And she was like, oh, you got the munchies. My jeez, that's it. My jeez. Hey, so me and my wife came. But you mentioned, okay, before I get into that, let's go back. So we like to go back to see where you from, how you were raised, all of that sort of stuff. So I know you said you were from Mexico. What part of Mexico are you from? T.J. Tijuana. Wow. That's like right by California. You know, I did not know that we went to San Diego one year. Don't talk about it. Don't talk about that. Let me tell you. That was very bad. No, it wasn't. Don't lie. There was some guys from New York that was going across that thing and it was coming back and it was bragging about doing things that people should not. See, I wasn't going to go. I wasn't going all the way in there. I wasn't going to talk about those two guys from New York that went across that border and it was doing things that people should not be doing and telling me when they come back. But I didn't know that Tijuana was that close. That's all I was saying. Let's speak in English. See, he was saying all sorts of stuff. But that's dope. So how long, how old were you when you came here? Three. Three. Wow. And you went to school here. I did everything here. But you still have very good Spanish. Of course. It was like my parents and, you know what I'm saying? And my parents didn't allow me to speak Spanish in the house so I would have to. I learned how to speak English watching Sesame Street. So that was my homework at home when I was a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The count. I ain't going to lie to you. The count. And you got excited, nigga. That was silly. What you pointing this at, man? I got the Bustall kind of purple drink. Being young like that and being, you know, teaching yourself how to speak, you know, English and just being here, you know, opportunity for yourself. But you did, you had run into some bumps in the road a little bit on. Let's talk about that a little bit. Right. Just what happened? You know, that's all you. What bumps we talking about? When you, you know, you was younger, you faced a little, some issues. Yeah, yeah. I did some, you know, took matters into my own hand. Did some time and it wasn't cool. Was it because of the, the area that you were, because I always feel like, yeah, because of, I'm a mom and, you know, with children, you think about, okay, why do kids get into trouble? Especially if they have, you know, both mom and dad, there are, we give them everything that they want, but they still go out here and end up doing things they shouldn't be doing. What is it? So it's two things, right? It's either your parents are good and don't have, they don't, they don't, they don't put you, they don't put you in enough activities to stay out of trouble or the parents are really not good, and then you're seeking love from the streets. So it doesn't matter how you were raised, it's just really the, I was a product of my environment. Environment as a lot. You get what I'm saying? So me growing up being the only Mexican Guatemala, because I'm Guatemala, my mother's Guatemala. In the area. I was raised in the all predominantly black neighborhood. Oh, okay. There it is. I knew it was going to blame it on someone. No, no, no, no, but this is one thing, right? You see how a lot of people say black people, black people? I know a lot of, a lot, a lot of African Americans. I know a lot of good and a lot of bad, but just because the one bad, I don't say black people are this bad. No, the individual is this individual is that. So I can place the, I can place on a whole race factor of my 80% interactions with a race. Cause you can't, you can't. That's like saying, that's like being ignorant. That's an ignorant person. You feel what I'm saying too? That's like saying all our Mexicans are gang bangers and drug dealers. No, we're not. We're hard workers. Somebody look like something just cause I'm tatted up. Don't mean not gang bangers. I just made a dumb mistake. You feel what I'm saying to you? Everybody in my neighborhood and I had a barber shop and it was getting tattoos for free. So I was like, let me get a tattoo and it went from one to the next to the next. Cause they're addictive. I heard. Yeah, but look, I got a whole bunch, but everything on my body is not gang related. You know what I'm saying? My kids, my Aztec, One Love, Bob Marley, smile now, cry later cause I'm an actor. But have people like, have law enforcement ever targeted you? Of course. You know what I mean? Of course. And let me, let me, let me talk about this cause I did something that I'm being affected about it cause I did a prank that involves some cops. All the stuff you see online and I understand this is a very, very touchy subject. And I'm not saying that African-Americans are not getting targeted, but it's bigger than that. There's also Mexicans. There's also white. There's a lot of people that get killed. Minority. Minorities in general. You know what I'm saying? I'm getting hit. What's being, what's being a magnified more is African-Americans because what they're doing is what? They're trying to rattle that nest because that brings anger out of you. And what happens when you bring anger, right? So this and that. And then guess what happens? Gentrification. Cause y'all just damaged the property and they come and take over. But they're playing us. They're playing us with our own emotions. You get what I'm saying to you? So I have, I grew up in same neighborhoods. I have been targeted. I have been slapped around. I have been kicked. I almost got planted with some stuff. I just obeyed. How do you not react when they treat you that way? When you see a gun, you just stay still. And they draw that gun. It's like I said, I don't got a gun. I can't shoot you. I can't get away with it. But then you see on social media where people filming and yes, a gun is pulled out, but they still talking and arguing even when a gun is pulled out. You got to understand those people never worked with their emotions. People were never taught to how to deal with situations like that. All we know is what? Anger. Yeah. All we know is frustrations. Yeah. We're tired. We're tired. We're tired against stepped on. We're tired to get overlooked. We're tired not receiving the blessings that everybody else receiving. So it's a lot of that. And then it's like, you might just catch me the wrong day. It might happen. I don't know. God forbid, you know what I'm saying? That it happens to me. And they catch me in the wrong situation. I lose my cool and then boom, it's over. How much do you think that the internet help or worsen or hurt the effects of you being brave against law enforcement? Because before, some people might not have the courage to speak out, but just because they have that phone, video, and you're on camera, you're on camera, this whole situation, like... It hurts a lot. But you know what's crazy? Everybody likes controversy. Everybody likes to see something. So if anybody's fighting it automatically goes viral. Why? Oh, look what happened. Look what happened. Look what happened. And then it just magnifies that whole situation. It could have been a fight over any situation now because it's everywhere now. Your feelings is hurt. Now you want to come back and retaliate because now you've been embarrassed publicly. You get what I'm saying to you. So it's like people say, instead of grabbing the phones, get in between. Like it was this one brother. I don't remember his name was Muslim. It was two kids fighting and their homies was filming. He stopped the whole thing. I've seen that. I mean, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Man, we brothers, man, hug it out. Them kids ain't want to hug it out because they ain't want to feel like punks. But he made them hug it out. They became best friends. I wish all people would do that. Yeah, that was a great thing. You know, but the deal is, man, like when you say what you say, it hurts, but it helps too. Because a lot of times I remember being from the country when you don't have a phone, people come up dead and there's no rhyme or reason. The law enforcement's never questioned. They tell you what you want to hear and somebody's life being taken and it's not done in an appropriate manner. And when if they'd have had a phone, then they may have not been dead. I'm being real. Of course. So it's two sides of that coin. And you'd never know just where it's going to land. But the main thing is that you put God first for me. That's it. And if you do that, then everything else. The Bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and all its righteousness and all other things shall be added. So I agree with that. I believe that. So I just try to focus on God, even though I know that you can get killed. Like when we got stopped when I was coming from Louisiana or Mississippi coming from Atlanta that time, right after that guy got killed, you know, in front of his daughter, you know, stuff like that. You, you'd be like, you'd be on guard because you don't know. And really know what you're saying is like handle a phone very carefully, almost like what you do handling a gun if you're smart with it, you know, because you have those people who have guns and feel like I have a license. I can just wave it around. I can do whatever I want. It gives you power and gives you your braver in certain situations that you would have normally not been in if you didn't have that. The same thing with the phone. If you didn't have that camera to turn on, you might have sat down and yes, sir, no, sir, just that whatever, but just because you have that, you're going to act up, show out. Can you see what I mean? No, I get it. No, TYC. What did they call it when you did the time as a young adult? And how old were you when you got in trouble? What did they call it? Because here they call it TYC. I don't know. Or is it juvenile? Okay, so and... How old were you when you got in 13? 13 till... 19. Wow. And how much did it affect you being away from your family? A lot. It was tough. It made me just somebody that didn't like... Were the gangs in there? Oh, I was listening. They was coming at me from outside. Gangs, regular people. They said I sounded black. I said, Mexican. Because I'm like from Jersey. Like, yo, what up, kid? So you didn't feel like you belonged anywhere? And then the blacks looked at me like I was trying to be black. I'm like, I'm not trying to be nothing. I'm a product of where I'm from. I grew up listening to Do It All From Lords of the Underground, who was a very good friend of mine. You know what I'm saying? You know? Dies of facts. You know what I'm saying? H-Town. I grew up to this. You see what I'm saying? That's all I knew. I wasn't playing Mexican music. So what... Give me a story in there that happened. Something that happened that you would never forget. It don't have to be bad or nothing, but just something that was weird, you know? I'll never forget when there was this Mexican kid that came in there that didn't speak English. It was about to get deported. I was just picking on him. And I was only like a year in, and I was trying to stay out of trouble. And they tried to grab him up in the bathroom. And I just came in there and we just... I was like, leave him alone. And next thing you know, they jumped on me. And he just stood there and watched. Oh, damn. Wow. He didn't even... Wow. But he was scared. He was scared. He was scared he thought he was going to stab him and kill him. They just beat me up. They just... Wow. They just went into the... You know? He's probably... I'll stick to him. They throwing them things. He's like, let them get the nuts. Let them get the nuts. Were you always a big kid? I was... How were you skinny? I didn't gain his weight until like 2004. Okay. So you were as a skinny kid? Yeah. I was always like... I wasn't malnourished like some people I know. But like, I was like... I was like a buck 80. Okay. Six feet, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but that's a good size. But when you think about just coming out after all that time and you don't know... Do you have family to come home to? How weird is it coming home? You see what I'm saying? You get out, you're 19. You don't have nothing. What do you do? So like, my parents just like... They just... You know, it was what it was. You know what I'm saying? They wasn't there for that. So I had to take that journey on by myself. They came and visited every now and then. But I took that journey by myself. But in turn, I was like a happy kid. I was a happy kid. I was chilling. I was like... You know what I'm saying? And it just... I turned into this person now. Mad Dog and everybody. Now I'm looking at everybody's side. Now I feel like you scheming. You scheming. So it's like being in there trains you for things that you're like... You know what I'm saying? That you're not even aware of on the outside. You're like... I saw people just using that gap and turning these fools out. I was like... Oh yeah. So you're like... Oh, pay attention. You learn a lot while you're in there. Oh my God. Man, listen. I learned how to make dice out of toilet paper. Hey! All tattoo ink out of a hard plastic. Man, what? So like... I just think that like coming home, it would be wild being that you've been locked up like that. My first day out. So because I was in boot camp. The first two years I was in boot camp. So I remember the first day out. I'm laying in the bed. As a matter of fact, I'm laying on the couch. My mom walks in, turns the light on. As soon as she turned the light on, I sat up at attention with my hands on my knees like this, waiting to be told to get up and go take a shower. She's like, what are you doing? I was institutionalized like crazy. I was also scared when I was being released because I got real comfortable in there. That's real. I've heard people say that when they come out, they come out and they purposely get in trouble because they want to go back. Because nobody wants you. My parents was like, you can't stay here because you know your sisters and I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck do you think you're having? What the fuck is your mind at? You know what I'm saying? I was like, did you get raped? No, I did not. This is not the fucking movies. People that get raped. A lot of people feel that. But the only way you get raped in there, if you're doing some funny foul stuff or you rape somebody before you got in there, you get what I'm saying to you. So that really happens. You feel what I'm saying to you? But if you mind your business and you hold your ground and don't let nobody overstep you, you're going to fight. You're going to fight and play. You're going to get down. You're going to get down. I'm just telling you, you're going to catch something and you're going to give something. But as long as you hold it down, you good. Because this comedy that you do now, you weren't doing comedy back then when you weren't. But I was a class count as a kid, though. I was a class now. I was always a center of attention because you got to remember where I grew up was either you learn how to tell a joke or you learn how to fight. So I had to learn both. Explain to me how you first got into comedy. It was a dare. It was a dare in 2000, 2001, 2000. How old were you that time? 1920. Right when you got up. That's what I'm saying. So when I got out, you know, I wasn't born here. So I didn't have a green card. So what's the next best thing? Learn how to cut hair. So I'm cutting hair. Trinidadian named Dexter taught me how to cut hair. I'm talking about this dude was a monster cutting hair. I'm the only Mexican, the Caribbean barbershop. He filmed me. So I'm in there. And you know what it is when you're in a barbershop? You got to talk that talk and get the jokes in. And we did that. And then a promoter I was cool with who had a missing leg comes in there one day and he started joking with me because he got doing comedy shows. He's popping now. Then he came at me and I'm like, bro, you don't want to do this. And then everybody amped him up. But see, we got a thing called fishing. So they'll amp him up to come at you because they're like, you got no excuse. Rip them. And I ripped them. So he got so mad and he put up $200 and said, if you come down to my comedy show and clown one of my comedians, you got it. And you did. Did you count it? I didn't think I was going to do it. Yeah, I ended up going. But when I got there, it was 300 people. Wow. And did you freeze up? I never done comedy. For a second I walked down and I was like, what the fuck is this? I thought this was like going to be like one of them little rap videos. You go into a room and it's like five people and you telling jokes. $300. I went out to Hennessy. Like, no, no, no, no. They called me up and we went at it. But I made sure before I went because I know there was going to be cracking jokes. I went and brought all brand new gear. I said, I'm going to come here and fly. All you're going to have is little chunky jokes. But we straight. We got this. Did you kill it? I killed it. People thought I was a real live comedian. Wow. And that's what motivated you to be like, man, this might be something I want to look into. The guy I was joking around with was named J.P. And he looked at me and said, how long have you been doing comedy? I said, man, you need to do this because you connected with a black audience and you were Hispanic. That's dope. And they can relate to you. You need to. And ever since that, I just kept running. Who encouraged you? When you look at it as a comic and you like, man, you looked at him and it encouraged you to go farther and keep going. What you mean as a known comic? A known comic. Well, comedy was influenced in my house by Chesperito. Okay. Like I always wanted, like as a kid, I wanted to act because I could see he played multiple characters. That's where Munchies comes in and other characters I have. You know George Lopez? More like Cheech and Chong. Cheech and Chong, I love Cheech and Chong. That's what I was thinking about. Cheech and Chong. Nah, because I like them because they're movies. To me, it didn't feel like a movie. It felt like I was a forced comedy. It was more like, well, let's take this ride. So that's where Munchie comes in. That's what I was about to say. That's who you remind me of. Yeah. So Munchies and Cheech and Chong is like that. But then George Lopez was further. Right. He was. Because to me, he's like the White Mexican. Yeah. White Mexican. But I love Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Love Raw. Delirious. Like, you know what I'm saying? George Carlin. Bernie Mac. Three comedians of all time. Dead or Alive. Only three. Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy. Number one. Number two. Bernie. Number three. Fluffy. Hmm. Who is fluffy? I never heard of Fluffy. Cable of Glacier's little chunky dude. Watch him. He's dope. He's dope. I know, when I mean to tell you, and that's crazy because you don't even know who he is, but his marketing is not as big as it should be. But he sells out arenas. Really? He sold out the staples. Like twice, if I'm not mistaken, the first comedian to sell out the Dodger Stadium to do stand-up. Wow. So he can go to Dubai. He can go to Senegal. He can go to Korea. Wow. And he'll sell out. He's just that dope. He's commercial. He's Mexican. He's commercial. And he came out of LA. And he's a funny, funny company queen. Sorry, baby. Whose show have you ever seen and from start to end, you die laughing? Show? Show? Martin. That's my nigga, man. Martin. Martin Lawrence. Gina. What's up? What's up? What's up? Man, how do you end up in Atlanta, man? I just like, I like to, I like to explore. I'm not scared of nothing because I'm from Jersey. Like, I was trying to get the comedians in Jersey to do what people in Atlanta were doing before people in Atlanta were doing it. I'm talking about before before Vine, before Instagram, YouTube was that, when Worldstar was a, was a, was a, for mixtapes, it wasn't videos yet. I was like, bro, we doing stand, I was doing stand-up with hamburger. I was doing stand-up with Mike Epps, Bill Bellamy, Ross G, Capone, Talon, Freddie Ricks. I'm talking about some OGs. You feel what I'm saying? Cool bubble ice. Like, I'm rocking with these cats and he's like, yo, you dope. You just got to keep going. But because I wasn't born here, I couldn't, I lost a lot of situations. At one point, we was about to sign a, a NEO and I couldn't sign contract. It was part of a prank show. You know what I'm saying? So, all these things came and I never told people and they just like, oh, this dude is not, even with Jordan, even with Jordan. When Jordan made me was like, yo, you a dope comic. Like, come out to these shows. I'm like, I would add, they were hour away from my house at nighttime. I can't drive without a license. You know what I'm saying? He thought, man, this guy's not serious. I'm not, and I met him when he was about to go on tour with Country Wing. You get what I'm saying? He was like, yo, you're really dope. I want to rock with you. And he thought that I was BSing. I'm glad that he came back into the life because when we connected, he was like, oh yeah, you ain't really about comedy. Like no, bro, I got deported. That's why you ain't saying that. I'm going to tell everybody that people are going to hate on you. So I never told people that. But you know, Jordan is one of the people that like, said to me like, you're dope. Clean it up because I was doing hood comedy. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you can't do clean, say less. But because I wasn't educated probably as far as social media because I was doing clean and I wasn't going to where I just wasn't seeing yet. So don't lose hope. It's for everybody out there doing comedy. Don't think that you got to do hood to blow. No, you can do clean, but you got to be consistent. You got to do it every day. And that's what I learned from Jordan. Jordan's like, I was doing three reels. He said, I need 10. Yeah. He popping already though. Yeah. And he's calling me every day. Me and my wife is there behind him. He only did four. But you know what I love about what you're saying? I love it. I love the fact that when he was on here he was talking about how Country Wayne checks up on him making sure he's doing what he's doing. And now he's passing all of that down to you. He's doing the same thing to you. So I love that. Like, Jordan, listen, this isn't and it's not just Jordan. There's also my people's Robbie like who brought me on to Instagram. You know what I'm saying? Because he got a million followers. He was the one that did that. He saw a hardworking Mexican that was like, yo, he's, he's working. Like even if I'm I was supposed to shoot with him. They doing the whole thing, I'm dropping five skits because I understood the name of the game. He said, you got to get to work. You film me? So then Jordan is like literally checking up on you. And we might, we don't have a little one of two discussions like, oh, I didn't see out of him or whatever. The next day, like nothing happened. Yo, what's up, bro? We bout to go to that's how you know you got to cherish those relationships because and no longer want to rock with you. It's bigger than that. You feel I'm saying to you, and that's why we don't grow as a community. Come on, sir. Go ahead. Go ahead. How frustrating was it for you being illegal and trying to really get somewhere in your comedy? That's tough, ain't it? Because I can imagine how frustrating I would be. I'm gonna tell you how it is. Imagine being pregnant for five years, and you can't give birth. Yeah, right. And you're ready to, I was worse than that. Because you gotta understand, I gotta ask to come out to the Dominican Republic with a dope-ass DJ and a dope-ass radio host is what I'm not gonna say. But it was a nice check, and this is in like 2005, no, I'm sorry. This is in 2006, I'm not mistaken, 2006, 2008 around there. Around there, you know what I'm saying? But I did it. I gotta ask you a couple of questions. When I say these names, tell me what you think about them, what comes to mind, okay? Okay. Cheating-ass Myron. Funny as hell. That's it? He funny. He funny. He ranked too damn much. He be trying to rank on me. He's trying to rank on you? All because I say rank, right? Yeah, you all, you said rank. I'm like that damn. Cheating-ass Myron? Yeah. Well, I mean, you gotta remember, as comedians, we clown on each other. And if you can't take it, I'll be cast out. I love it. Country Wayne, what do you think? His whole style. Country Wayne, man, he on his own level, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? You gotta give it up to him. You feel me? Like, he on another level, man. He on another level. On a level that where a lot of people wanna be at. You get what I'm saying to you? And you gotta respect him for the hard work and for the hustle and for the fact that he found it. Right. You know what I'm saying? Cause he's an inspiration to people that are doing it. Cause you wanna be the people that are making 500,000. Man, I wanna make a million of them. Fuck, 500,000. I wanna make a million. I wanna make two million. Cause there's a guy named Mr. Beaks. He's making hell of bread. Yeah. You know what he's doing? He's giving it away. Wow. Hey, he like, yo, today we dropping a million on somebody and he really giving it away. But I'm saying social media is like Jordan was saying. You don't gotta be about cracking jokes. You don't gotta be about comedy. Something that you're doing that you're giving that you're loving, you're passionate. You can be passionate about putting this on a cup. If you're showing the love and you're teaching people how to do it, you're now something big. I got one more name. Jordan Jackson. What do you think about what you're doing? Jordan Jackson just need to eat cause I think he got grinds or something. No, what do you think? What do you think when I say that? That's what come to mind? Nah. Honestly. Honestly. Humble. Humble. Loyal. Hard working. And a grinder. Like this man grinds like nothing else. People think I do a lot and I'm not knowing him cause he's like literally 20, 30 a day. He makes you want to step your game up? Yeah. So it's almost like a friendly competition. Like, you know what I'm saying? Oh, you did 10? Let me go get five more. You know what I'm saying? Like one day I'm gonna look at him and I'm gonna tell like you, cause you gotta remember he remembers I was doing three. Now I'm doing 10. Now I'm doing 15. I'm coming. Wow. I'm coming Jordan. I'm coming for all that. I'm gonna have my own bucket hat too, big dog. With the munchy logo on it. Fat as hell. I don't care. So y'all work with so many different people. Like a lot, I said a lot of different girls, man. I've seen y'all with a lot of different girls doing a lot of different skits in a lot of different places. But before you get into that, how did you get into the skits because you were doing stand up first? So how did you get into the skits? Before I saw anybody do skits, I was doing stand up. Right. And I had a thing called skits or us. You're gonna look it up. This is literally 2010 on YouTube. Skits or us was something because every time I saw comedy, I, it's almost like you ever heard Biggie rap? Yeah. And I'm just asking. Cause you know, maybe you haven't. I don't know. But if you heard Biggie, matter of fact, no, no, let me remove Biggie. Cause I'm going to tell you what made those cats who they are slick Rick. Yeah. You ever heard slick Rick rap? It wasn't by the time not long ago when people over there lived like so. Yeah. Like all you got to do is close your eyes and you can vision the whole thing. Yeah. When I was, is it a kind of source? I think it's probably somewhere down where it is. But it's literally sat there on stage and watching Gerald Kelly and all these people tell their jokes. I'm like, I envisioned the story, which was to me to them like, yo, let's film this. I bought a camera. I didn't know what I'd do, but I said, let's film this. Like we can film this scene and that scene and that scene, which is called skits are us. Wow. You know what I'm saying to you, but they felt like, and I'm not saying Gerald Kelly, I'm just saying, yeah. But I was trying with Jersey. I was trying with my people in Jersey and all they said, and I'm just, I'm not his name, no names, but majority of the comedians was like, I don't want to put my jokes on internet cause they going to steal them. But bro, if you play your own jokes, can't nobody steal something you put. But they were trying to save it for TV. You know what I'm saying? And unfortunately I was one of those people that believed in their material enough to put work behind it. But then it took, you know, it took 10, nine years to come down to Atlanta, not know nobody, cause I didn't know nobody. I didn't come to Atlanta saying, hey, my cousin, no, I bet it on me and I won. And when you moved to Atlanta, you moved with your family? My family and everything. Like I came down, I came down here to open up a bar. I mean, I came down to Atlanta to open up. Did your wife think you were crazy? My wife, when she met me, she saw, she saw a star. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Just like you. When you met me. And before her seeing it in me, I always had this feeling in myself. It's like, I was put on this earth to shine and I'm gonna shine my heart is. You know what I'm saying to you? So she saw something in me and I was like, yo, I'm out with no green card. No, nothing. She still believed in me. She's like, yo, I don't know what it is about you, but you're going to be some. But she didn't stick for that. She stuck for who I was for humbling. And I'm always making people laugh. And I'm not trying to make you laugh. It's just me. You know what I'm saying to you? So all of that in the mix with my kids, we moved to Atlanta and I was trying to get a barbershop, but I didn't have my barber license cause it's not like Jersey where you can just cut here. Like whatever. So I ended up working for aircraft airport. And I started as a cleaner. And five years later, I became an aircraft engineer. So I was building airplanes for like NASA and stuff like that. Wow. Yeah. Wow, that's heavy. So did you stop that full-time and he's doing comedy full-time now? Cause that's a well-paying job you're talking about. It is, but once COVID hit and then we had some issues at work cause I have obstructive sleep, I didn't want to be around COVID. COVID was my blessing and my curse. Cause I took off on COVID, but right last year, October, I caught COVID pneumonia and I almost died. Whoa. Wow. Yeah. So you were hospitalized? Yeah, yeah, I was like, I was like two seconds away from ICU. Felt like a week and a half on oxygen. I couldn't breathe or nothing. How did that make you reevaluate your life? Be more there for my kids and my family, my wife and all that. So it's like, you know, now my kids are doing social media and that ain't unpopped off. That's awesome. That's love, man.
