Eric and comedian/rapper Zack Fox talk about bombing while performing in the Blackest room in Detroit and the whitest room in Salt Lake City, the complications of mixing live music and comedy, and witnessing friends attempt stand-up comedy for the first time. A story involving Dave Chappelle giving sage advice and eventually being ditched for cocaine in a parking lot. Molly may possibly be the only drug to get you through the Comedy Store. Zack eventually wants to take Rhino pills and Eric tells stories about Viagra. An existential crisis sinks in when the guys realize all the dumb stuff they have sent and typed over text.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Welcome back to Bombing with Ericondrey, in the podcast
where I talk with friends, comedians, musicians, and other creative
people about their worst moments on stage and getting annihilated
by a live audience. This week's guesses comedian rapper Zach Fox.
He talks about his time doing stand up in black rooms.
There it's the whitest of white rooms.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let's get into it. Bombing with Aeric Andre.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Okay, we're gonna talk about bombing. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Do you have a story for your past, Like, what's
the worst you've ever done on stage? Like have you
ever got a glass bottle thrown at you or booed
off the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Or definitely got booed off stage.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Do you do stand up in black rooms like urban
Knight or do you only do like alternative rooms or
mainstream rooms.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I've done both, Yeah, and I've had a bad time
in both. Yeah. Okay, the blackest room I ever did
was in Detroit, Okay, and I remember I think I
wipe it out disassociating, Yeah, like I'm in it in
because and I can't even tell you what I was
(01:10):
saying because I think I was like, Yeah, what's up.
I'm Zach, I'm from Atlanta and I just hurt somebody
in the back like this nigga, you're already on the
off the love list, so it just it already started
kicking in and the silence and the you know what
I mean, and like I'm in your intro, just your Setupta. Yeah,
(01:35):
and I was. I was green and and like you know,
like I think when I started standing up, I was
definitely like I want to be as like abrasive edge,
you know what I mean, because I thought that would
you know, but this is Detroit. They're like shut up
like whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And I remember I had like like my pants were
like slightly too short. Uh they were like high water
a little bit. And somebody like called that out. And
you know, black people, they don't we don't have to
like really say anything. We could just say look at
his nigga pants And that got more last than what
(02:17):
I was setting up. I was in the middle of
a setup or something and just look at his pants,
just look at them, just observe him. That hurts. It hurts.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Ye Did you just walk off stage like I want
a quick comedy or were you like, uh.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You I think that time in the other worst one
I had, which was in uh, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
She went from the blackest show to the whitest show, absolute.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Other side of the spectrum and bombed at the racial
polls in the spectrum of c in America exactly where
it's not them, it's you. That's what God say, It's
not them. You're wait what happened in Salt Lake City.
(03:06):
I was trying to tell I think I was. I
was just riffing. I was like, just fucking with the crowd,
and I was I didn't realize how talking about Mormons
and talking about Mormon shit in fucking Utah is like
talking about Nipsey Hustle in La. Like you have to
have a sensitivity, super sensitent like. And I didn't realize that.
(03:27):
And I'm just like, you know, it's my first time
there and I'm talking ship and I mean, the black
room didn't boo. They were there was still like, you know,
they were still giving me a shot. They were just
like this guy looks funny and he's like nerd. But
the white room was like boom, shit boo, nigger, no
hard art. No, it started a chance. It was in
(03:50):
the forties.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Strom was yeah, no, wait they booed you off stage.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, I stayed, Oh you stayed? They talk You know
that that one was the worst because that one felt like,
you know, it's saving private Ryan where his ears are ringing.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, like bringing bad when Walter White's like having a
pantser melt down.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You're hearing muffled sound. Ye ship and yeah, uh that's funny.
I think uh. I think Alex Huggins was there. Actually
really I.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Was just talking to him, so he was there, so
he witnessed you. Oh yeah, he's from Salt Lake City.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That was either yeah, yeah, and he was you know,
he was having a fantastic time because of it. He
was like, you know, this guy standing and he was
like front row and he was just dying at like
the context of it that I was just and just
getting hit with everything, you know what I mean and
still responding but not winning in any.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Was it just the Mormon jokes that that turned them
or was the whole thing just do I think.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The whole thing? They were just like fuck you go away. Also,
it was like like I'm sure you've had this experience
doing stand up before. Someone doing music is the worst?
Is ass like the worst objectively because those people came
to get in a completely different vibration.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They don't mix at all at all, at all, ever.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
No, ever, unless you are telling jokes over like a
guy playing saxophone or some shit. Yeah maybe, and who
does that work? I mean one of you has to die?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, according to the crowd, Yeah no, it doesn't work. Yeah,
it's two different mediums.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Like go?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Well, like have you done it?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The old the only time?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And it doesn't really count?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Like I saw Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall and
you had to live quality open up. But they're so
famous and people are going specifically for them that you
don't need to win over the crowd at all. At
that level of fame, there is like a threshold of
fame where you can get away with mixing the two.
(06:17):
But until you're at that echelon, if you're starting out
and stand up and not even starting out, but like
just like having to introduce yourself to the crowd in
a way be like yes, I do stand up too,
and I'm good at it. If you're before or after music,
or there's music involved, and it's that kind of up
because music you don't have to pay attention yeah, jokes,
(06:38):
you have to pay attention.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, and music you can stand.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You can kind of drift in and out your attention
spand can drift in and out. You can walk out,
you can walk in. You can dance to it. Stand
up you have to sit and watch. You don't stand
while you watch TV. You sit while you watch TV,
and you pay attention while you watch TV. A comedy
on TV, So it's the same for stand up. So
stand up has it requires something different audience, But the
audience doesn't know that. They don't know the nuances, and
(07:03):
it's not their job to know. It's not their job
to know. They don't fucking know.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
A concert, you could just at any moment start screaming
at the top of your lungs. And when there's a
part of the show where someone's like, hey, let me
change that etiquette real quick for me, not for you,
but for my stories that I want to tell you,
you're like, you can naturally be like, no, yeah, I
(07:28):
don't care. CARDI playbook, CARDI is about to I don't
give a fuck what your dad whoever did.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It's like, you know, right with a rendre, with a rendre,
what's the worst you've ever seen somebody bomb And this
can be like a concert.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Or it doesn't have to be comedy.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh man, it can be like a freestyle rap battle
or something where a white guy came up and said
the N words like I.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Bunched in the face. I just saw that recently.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's what I thought about.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I might have said it to you, but you know,
I've seen some I've seen some some pretty bad ones. Uh.
I got a homie who's who's hilarious. Hell, he's gonna
he's gonna hate me for bringing this up. Actually change.
I'm not going to change because because he's he's he's
(08:34):
too dope for me to to change his name. And
he would appreciate this, but he didn't really he I'll
tell a great story of a man bombing and completely
taking it back and then winning. It was a night
where it was me rest in peace, Jack Knight, Quentin Brunton, I, oh, uh,
(08:56):
Jamar neighbors, and I want to say there was there
was one more comic, but we did the belly room
and uh, you know everybody, Oh, Clayton English was there
and like everybody killed and it was super dope and
Thundercat was there and room was packed great people Mexico did.
It's my homie Mexico, justin from Atlanta, one of the
(09:17):
funniest people I know. But you know, he was trying
to do some stand up. He was like, let me
try it out.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Is he not a stand up and he's trying to
do a stand up at all?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, he's not a stand up. And he was like,
let me try it out. And we put him on stage.
We let him do five. It was like the worst.
It was like I think at one point he just
like was quiet on stage, but he told like some
stories and people like we're fucking with They were like, okay,
we see like some potentials that were like we know
he's funny and that for your first set is better
(09:44):
than most people get, you know, people being like yeah,
we like you. Yeah, that's the biggest battle. So people
liked them, and then we continue with the show and
then Steven Thundercat is like, yo, like, don't tell anybody
about I think Dave might show up, And I was like, Okay,
the show is ending by this point. Uh, we're all
making fun of Mexico, like a you know, first set,
(10:06):
you suck like that. Dave walks through that back door
in the belly room while the room's clearing out, the
lights are coming up, they're cleaning off the tables, and
then people in the hallway who are leaving the comedy store.
When you say when you say Dave, you say you
mean David Banner. Yeah, David Banner, rapper from Mississippi, an
activist walk through with when Dave. I think Dave ben
(10:28):
walked through with the Ten Commandments. Dave Banner like super
religious now or something. Well, he's like super political and religious,
but he actually.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The guy that the guy whose lyric is finger fuck
your pussy like you want some girl.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He's very religious. Yeah, he's on an African like it.
There's a change. There's been a change one thousand percent. Okay,
I only know of the old Dave Banner. It's got
like this salt and pepper like fu manchu beer. Wow,
I've not been keeping up with David Banner. I thought
he was just talking about Vagina's Yeah, he's consciousness not coochie.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Interesting yeah, interesting, Okay, but we're talking about Dave Chappelle. Yes,
squeeze a Dave Banner reference to Day and every episode.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Uh so, Yeah, Chappelle walks in Mexico, you know, has
like no kouth about it. Like Dave walks in and
goes straight to the stage and he's like on stage
with Dave, like taking a selfie and shit like that.
There's a picture actually on my wall in my office,
a screenshot of his ig story with Dave looking scared.
(11:38):
But uh yeah, Dave goes up. All the people like
start filing back in and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
This is like right before his last big special run
or something like that, and he talked for like two
hours and he was like blackout drunk already.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Chappelle was yeah, he was like fuck and yeah. So
he just like starts going yeah, and he got intense
for a second, and then Mexico's back in the crowd
and he's like like doing one of these.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Mexico was sighing heavily at Dave Chappelle Bold Bold, and
then Chappelle heard it and he's like, I hope I'm
not boring anyone.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Like everyone's like chuckling at it, and Mexico's like, nah, nigga,
we just want to hear some jokes.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And he did that like once and Dave was like,
you know, oh, you know, he gave him just like
he threw him a little bun like oh spicy, like
da da da da da, And then he did it
again like he like heckled him again, like he said
something during Dave, and Dave was like, Dave, I specifically
remember going, I can't tell if this nigga is really
He's a figment of my imagination. So I did to myself,
(12:46):
can y'all see him? Because why aren't y'all handling it?
And everybody was just like, I don't know. Both of
y'all are kind of scary, like this is a criminal
and this is Dave Chappelle, so we all was a
little scary.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, he's a tough guy. He's not a tough guy.
He's a sweetheart, but like you know, he might poke
you that type of dude. He's just like typical Atlantic No,
just normal guy from Atlanta and uh. And it all
culminates with Chappelle being like, all right, you know, he
(13:21):
finally has to like do his come to Jesus because
he's like, all right, what's up with this guy, y'all?
And Jack's like, yo, this he did this. He did
stand up for the first time tonight and Dave's like, well,
did he do well in the crowd? Is like on
Mexico side, They're like, yeah, you get pretty fucking good.
And then he's like, well, let me tell you something.
You can be good at this. You won't be as
(13:42):
good as I am, but you can be good at this.
And I can tell that you want to do this
because you won't shut the fuck up, and if you
want to be good at this, and if you really
take time and like focus on the craft and you know,
like the level of mastery that not just me but everybody,
all of your peers here are chasing is it's hours.
(14:03):
And I've put in more hours than all of my contemporaries.
And that's why I get to stand up here and
walk in here and do two hours and do this.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And you can.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I want that for you, like I will personally give
you my phone number, and anytime you need advice or
any type of anything, a word of solace, whatever, you're funny,
I will give that to you, just because I can
see what's in me. I see that in you, and
you can make that decision today to take it seriously
or just trifle and be the guy who was funny
(14:34):
one time when Dave Chappelle was on stage. We can
share the stage one time, or this could come back
around in the future and it could keep happening. So
you have to make the decision. And Mexico goes, yeah, nah, nigga,
I'm gonna go do cocaine in the parking lot. This
is lame as fuck and stands up and Irish is
(14:54):
out of the room and I shit you not Eric standing,
Oh yeah, nah, I'm gonna do cooked. Who want to
come with me? Nobody left with him blows out to
the front of the comedy school and standing, Oh my god,
(15:15):
what did the dam give up?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They gave up?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He knew he was trying to take the higher road,
and he got so mean noble like the light and uplifted?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Did it well?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Didn't?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Rusting?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And the thing is, Mexico did bomb, right, He like bombed. Yes, yes,

confident as a heckler. He liked this like say.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Sermon on the mountain, fucking wizard, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And then brought the house down. Brought the house down
with that one standing up and then he bombed again
because he tried to. He tried to come back and
go to Dave's little after party in the backbar. Oh
my god. It was like what Dave. He's like bullying Dave.
(16:14):
Literally literally it was like David and Goliath. Like that's
what it felt like watching, you know what I mean,
Like a day was like whiskey drugs, and he's like trying.
He's trying new ship. He went to the belly rooms
and have privacy and he's just like working out and
there's this demon in there. It's like, two.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Am, you're not funny.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
My god, you try to reason with this. I know
he trying to reason with him. That's the sadness.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It was like he was like Morgan Freeman in the
bad high school, trying.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
To reason with the kids. Those kids don't they can't
change their bad kids. He tried to do some freedom
writer ship. Oh you're not like the others. Yeah, you

It's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
There's so many different people there, different energies, some of
like the sweetest people like I know there, and there's
some monsters there. So I don't know if maybe Molly
is the way to get through the hang At the
Comedy Start it did something.

Have you ever been high on sad like on on
like molly or ketamine or anything on stage?

Yeah, well even when you wrap Yeah sober.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Not a drink, not a beer. I used to think
I needed to be drunk to do stand up, and
then I got out of that pretty quick because it
just started like I was like, oh no, this is
just gonna stack up in a weird in a weird
way because I'm going to have to drink before then
I'm gonna have to drink after. Yeah, it becomes a crutch.
(18:45):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was like a little bit of a crutch. Smart
got rid of it. Yeah, you know, I used to
think that way, and then I stopped giving a ship
And if I'm like, did you like get sucked up
before I've gotten fucked up? Mean, I've been doing stand
for twenty years. I'm like, I've definitely been. I've done
one of each drug. I've done coke and done and

I've done coke only like five times in my life.
Been on stage on coke, been on stage on mushroom's,
been on stage on MBMA, been on stage very drunk.
I think that's a ketamine I've only done a few times.
Speaker 3 (19:17):

directly to like some lady named Sheila.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Oh yeah, I mean probably, like I think about I
think about the camera on your phone, it could like
be hacked at any time.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You know, you want to know what the most embarrassing
thing someone can look at is when when you have
the YouTube app on your TV and someone's like, oh,
I'm just gonna search for this for this video?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, my the cortisol in my body because you think
other ship you previously searched it was gonna pomp up,
and it is. It's it's it's always there.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
And I'm always like, are they gonna look to the
left and see that I searched, like my name.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I thought you just met your like porn interests because YouTube, YouTube.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Is where you're embarrassing ship lives because everybody's porn is
like embarrassing, right, you know what I mean? But like
no one could.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Really porn is a shared embarrassment. It's share we all
have to give into our reptile brain when you search
like get the poison grown hair removal, mister pimple popper
or whatever those yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Just anything like that. It was like, oh, this nigga
got ingrown hair.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
On his but you can't clear the clear the search
you can.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
But I mean, YouTube is really where I searched, like
the most embarrassing because you're looking for tutorials on things
that you don't already know how to do, which as
a man, can be very vulnerable. That's true. That's true,
Like I don't know how to make things. You're vulnerable
in that thing.

gonna be on porn hubbed j n O and then
like some Russian spies gonna like get like zap into
my camera and see me farting and jerking off and
eating peanut M and m's in bed like like the
lowiz in like a fucking free Comedy Central merch shirt

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Fuck, well, I think that's it right. Anything else? Peede
on myself one time, not on stage, but did you
be on yourself? Yeah, Peede on myself as an adult?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I was trying to catch the train in Atlanta, and
you know the training the marta.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I like, maa, I don't think I've wrote baby, I
gotta get on there. I don't want to get on
that ship.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
That ship goes in two directions, you know what I mean.
You've seen like the map, it's like just the cardinal direction.
And I was leaving from like midtown Atlanta, and I
was in the station. I had to peece so bad,
and uh, I couldn't find anywhere to go. I tried
to go to like the back where like all the
engineer shit is just rats like running just past my feet.
(31:33):
And I go into this elevator and it's on the
second floor, and I start pulling my ship out to
pee in the corner of the elevator because that's all
I can find. And as soon as I pull it out,
it starts descending and I look out of the glass
because it's a glass are at this point, I'm not
but I'm looking down and through the corner of the
(31:55):
glass of the floor as it's descending, there's just a
massive family, like i'd say about seven deep, and those
little white girls and white boys in this family. And
I'm like, my worst nightmare is like a sex charge
with my black dick out. And I start to you know,
(32:20):
I start putting it back in to zip it up.
But you know, once you like hit the pea button,
your body's like we're peeing. That's it.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
So I'm standing and as the door opens to this
white family in Atlanta who are just coming from like
a baseball game or something, they just see me standing
there with a peace spot descending down both sides of
my legs, and I think I started crying a little bit,
(32:50):
like because that had never happened to me before. And I
just I like got I had to get on the
train and like ride it for like an hour.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Just Ranch smelled, hep smelled. Oh that's rough, all right, man,

Hey, Welcome back to Bombing with Ericondrey, in the podcast
where I talk with friends, comedians, musicians, and other creative
people about their worst moments on stage and getting annihilated
by a live audience. This week's guesses comedian rapper Zach Fox.
He talks about his time doing stand up in black rooms.
There it's the whitest of white rooms.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let's get into it. Bombing with Aeric Andre.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Okay, we're gonna talk about bombing. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Do you have a story for your past, Like, what's
the worst you've ever done on stage? Like have you
ever got a glass bottle thrown at you or booed
off the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Or definitely got booed off stage.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Do you do stand up in black rooms like urban
Knight or do you only do like alternative rooms or
mainstream rooms.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I've done both, Yeah, and I've had a bad time
in both. Yeah. Okay, the blackest room I ever did
was in Detroit, Okay, and I remember I think I
wipe it out disassociating, Yeah, like I'm in it in
because and I can't even tell you what I was
(01:10):
saying because I think I was like, Yeah, what's up.
I'm Zach, I'm from Atlanta and I just hurt somebody
in the back like this nigga, you're already on the
off the love list, so it just it already started
kicking in and the silence and the you know what
I mean, and like I'm in your intro, just your Setupta. Yeah,
(01:35):
and I was. I was green and and like you know,
like I think when I started standing up, I was
definitely like I want to be as like abrasive edge,
you know what I mean, because I thought that would
you know, but this is Detroit. They're like shut up
like whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And I remember I had like like my pants were
like slightly too short. Uh they were like high water
a little bit. And somebody like called that out. And
you know, black people, they don't we don't have to
like really say anything. We could just say look at
his nigga pants And that got more last than what
(02:17):
I was setting up. I was in the middle of
a setup or something and just look at his pants,
just look at them, just observe him. That hurts. It hurts.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Ye Did you just walk off stage like I want
a quick comedy or were you like, uh.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You I think that time in the other worst one
I had, which was in uh, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
She went from the blackest show to the whitest show, absolute.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Other side of the spectrum and bombed at the racial
polls in the spectrum of c in America exactly where
it's not them, it's you. That's what God say, It's
not them. You're wait what happened in Salt Lake City.
(03:06):
I was trying to tell I think I was. I
was just riffing. I was like, just fucking with the crowd,
and I was I didn't realize how talking about Mormons
and talking about Mormon shit in fucking Utah is like
talking about Nipsey Hustle in La. Like you have to
have a sensitivity, super sensitent like. And I didn't realize that.
(03:27):
And I'm just like, you know, it's my first time
there and I'm talking ship and I mean, the black
room didn't boo. They were there was still like, you know,
they were still giving me a shot. They were just
like this guy looks funny and he's like nerd. But
the white room was like boom, shit boo, nigger, no
hard art. No, it started a chance. It was in
(03:50):
the forties.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Strom was yeah, no, wait they booed you off stage.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, I stayed, Oh you stayed? They talk You know
that that one was the worst because that one felt like,
you know, it's saving private Ryan where his ears are ringing.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, like bringing bad when Walter White's like having a
pantser melt down.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You're hearing muffled sound. Ye ship and yeah, uh that's funny.
I think uh. I think Alex Huggins was there. Actually
really I.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Was just talking to him, so he was there, so
he witnessed you. Oh yeah, he's from Salt Lake City.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That was either yeah, yeah, and he was you know,
he was having a fantastic time because of it. He
was like, you know, this guy standing and he was
like front row and he was just dying at like
the context of it that I was just and just
getting hit with everything, you know what I mean and
still responding but not winning in any.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Was it just the Mormon jokes that that turned them
or was the whole thing just do I think.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The whole thing? They were just like fuck you go away. Also,
it was like like I'm sure you've had this experience
doing stand up before. Someone doing music is the worst?
Is ass like the worst objectively because those people came
to get in a completely different vibration.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They don't mix at all at all, at all, ever.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
No, ever, unless you are telling jokes over like a
guy playing saxophone or some shit. Yeah maybe, and who
does that work? I mean one of you has to die?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, according to the crowd, Yeah no, it doesn't work. Yeah,
it's two different mediums.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Like go?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Well, like have you done it?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The old the only time?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And it doesn't really count?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Like I saw Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall and
you had to live quality open up. But they're so
famous and people are going specifically for them that you
don't need to win over the crowd at all. At
that level of fame, there is like a threshold of
fame where you can get away with mixing the two.
(06:17):
But until you're at that echelon, if you're starting out
and stand up and not even starting out, but like
just like having to introduce yourself to the crowd in
a way be like yes, I do stand up too,
and I'm good at it. If you're before or after music,
or there's music involved, and it's that kind of up
because music you don't have to pay attention yeah, jokes,
(06:38):
you have to pay attention.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, and music you can stand.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You can kind of drift in and out your attention
spand can drift in and out. You can walk out,
you can walk in. You can dance to it. Stand
up you have to sit and watch. You don't stand
while you watch TV. You sit while you watch TV,
and you pay attention while you watch TV. A comedy
on TV, So it's the same for stand up. So
stand up has it requires something different audience, But the
audience doesn't know that. They don't know the nuances, and
(07:03):
it's not their job to know. It's not their job
to know. They don't fucking know.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
A concert, you could just at any moment start screaming
at the top of your lungs. And when there's a
part of the show where someone's like, hey, let me
change that etiquette real quick for me, not for you,
but for my stories that I want to tell you,
you're like, you can naturally be like, no, yeah, I
(07:28):
don't care. CARDI playbook, CARDI is about to I don't
give a fuck what your dad whoever did.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It's like, you know, right with a rendre, with a rendre,
what's the worst you've ever seen somebody bomb And this
can be like a concert.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Or it doesn't have to be comedy.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh man, it can be like a freestyle rap battle
or something where a white guy came up and said
the N words like I.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Bunched in the face. I just saw that recently.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's what I thought about.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I might have said it to you, but you know,
I've seen some I've seen some some pretty bad ones. Uh.
I got a homie who's who's hilarious. Hell, he's gonna
he's gonna hate me for bringing this up. Actually change.
I'm not going to change because because he's he's he's
(08:34):
too dope for me to to change his name. And
he would appreciate this, but he didn't really he I'll
tell a great story of a man bombing and completely
taking it back and then winning. It was a night
where it was me rest in peace, Jack Knight, Quentin Brunton, I, oh, uh,
(08:56):
Jamar neighbors, and I want to say there was there
was one more comic, but we did the belly room
and uh, you know everybody, Oh, Clayton English was there
and like everybody killed and it was super dope and
Thundercat was there and room was packed great people Mexico did.
It's my homie Mexico, justin from Atlanta, one of the
(09:17):
funniest people I know. But you know, he was trying
to do some stand up. He was like, let me
try it out.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Is he not a stand up and he's trying to
do a stand up at all?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, he's not a stand up. And he was like,
let me try it out. And we put him on stage.
We let him do five. It was like the worst.
It was like I think at one point he just
like was quiet on stage, but he told like some
stories and people like we're fucking with They were like, okay,
we see like some potentials that were like we know
he's funny and that for your first set is better
(09:44):
than most people get, you know, people being like yeah,
we like you. Yeah, that's the biggest battle. So people
liked them, and then we continue with the show and
then Steven Thundercat is like, yo, like, don't tell anybody
about I think Dave might show up, And I was like, Okay,
the show is ending by this point. Uh, we're all
making fun of Mexico, like a you know, first set,
(10:06):
you suck like that. Dave walks through that back door
in the belly room while the room's clearing out, the
lights are coming up, they're cleaning off the tables, and
then people in the hallway who are leaving the comedy store.
When you say when you say Dave, you say you
mean David Banner. Yeah, David Banner, rapper from Mississippi, an
activist walk through with when Dave. I think Dave ben
(10:28):
walked through with the Ten Commandments. Dave Banner like super
religious now or something. Well, he's like super political and religious,
but he actually.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The guy that the guy whose lyric is finger fuck
your pussy like you want some girl.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He's very religious. Yeah, he's on an African like it.
There's a change. There's been a change one thousand percent. Okay,
I only know of the old Dave Banner. It's got
like this salt and pepper like fu manchu beer. Wow,
I've not been keeping up with David Banner. I thought
he was just talking about Vagina's Yeah, he's consciousness not coochie.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Interesting yeah, interesting, Okay, but we're talking about Dave Chappelle. Yes,
squeeze a Dave Banner reference to Day and every episode.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Uh so, Yeah, Chappelle walks in Mexico, you know, has
like no kouth about it. Like Dave walks in and
goes straight to the stage and he's like on stage
with Dave, like taking a selfie and shit like that.
There's a picture actually on my wall in my office,
a screenshot of his ig story with Dave looking scared.
(11:38):
But uh yeah, Dave goes up. All the people like
start filing back in and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
This is like right before his last big special run
or something like that, and he talked for like two
hours and he was like blackout drunk already.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Chappelle was yeah, he was like fuck and yeah. So
he just like starts going yeah, and he got intense
for a second, and then Mexico's back in the crowd
and he's like like doing one of these.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Mexico was sighing heavily at Dave Chappelle Bold Bold, and
then Chappelle heard it and he's like, I hope I'm
not boring anyone.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Like everyone's like chuckling at it, and Mexico's like, nah, nigga,
we just want to hear some jokes.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And he did that like once and Dave was like,
you know, oh, you know, he gave him just like
he threw him a little bun like oh spicy, like
da da da da da, And then he did it
again like he like heckled him again, like he said
something during Dave, and Dave was like, Dave, I specifically
remember going, I can't tell if this nigga is really
He's a figment of my imagination. So I did to myself,
(12:46):
can y'all see him? Because why aren't y'all handling it?
And everybody was just like, I don't know. Both of
y'all are kind of scary, like this is a criminal
and this is Dave Chappelle, so we all was a
little scary.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, he's a tough guy. He's not a tough guy.
He's a sweetheart, but like you know, he might poke
you that type of dude. He's just like typical Atlantic No,
just normal guy from Atlanta and uh. And it all
culminates with Chappelle being like, all right, you know, he
(13:21):
finally has to like do his come to Jesus because
he's like, all right, what's up with this guy, y'all?
And Jack's like, yo, this he did this. He did
stand up for the first time tonight and Dave's like, well,
did he do well in the crowd? Is like on
Mexico side, They're like, yeah, you get pretty fucking good.
And then he's like, well, let me tell you something.
You can be good at this. You won't be as
(13:42):
good as I am, but you can be good at this.
And I can tell that you want to do this
because you won't shut the fuck up, and if you
want to be good at this, and if you really
take time and like focus on the craft and you know,
like the level of mastery that not just me but everybody,
all of your peers here are chasing is it's hours.
(14:03):
And I've put in more hours than all of my contemporaries.
And that's why I get to stand up here and
walk in here and do two hours and do this.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And you can.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I want that for you, like I will personally give
you my phone number, and anytime you need advice or
any type of anything, a word of solace, whatever, you're funny,
I will give that to you, just because I can
see what's in me. I see that in you, and
you can make that decision today to take it seriously
or just trifle and be the guy who was funny
(14:34):
one time when Dave Chappelle was on stage. We can
share the stage one time, or this could come back
around in the future and it could keep happening. So
you have to make the decision. And Mexico goes, yeah, nah, nigga,
I'm gonna go do cocaine in the parking lot. This
is lame as fuck and stands up and Irish is
(14:54):
out of the room and I shit you not Eric standing,
Oh yeah, nah, I'm gonna do cooked. Who want to
come with me? Nobody left with him blows out to
the front of the comedy school and standing, Oh my god,
(15:15):
what did the dam give up?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They gave up?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He knew he was trying to take the higher road,
and he got so mean noble like the light and uplifted?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Did it well?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Didn't?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Rusting?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And the thing is, Mexico did bomb, right, He like bombed. Yes, yes,
he tanked. He tanked in his set. He was so
confident as a heckler. He liked this like say.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Sermon on the mountain, fucking wizard, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And then brought the house down. Brought the house down
with that one standing up and then he bombed again
because he tried to. He tried to come back and
go to Dave's little after party in the backbar. Oh
my god. It was like what Dave. He's like bullying Dave.
(16:14):
Literally literally it was like David and Goliath. Like that's
what it felt like watching, you know what I mean,
Like a day was like whiskey drugs, and he's like trying.
He's trying new ship. He went to the belly rooms
and have privacy and he's just like working out and

I like, maa, I don't think I've wrote baby, I
gotta get on there. I don't want to get on
that ship.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
That ship goes in two directions, you know what I mean.
You've seen like the map, it's like just the cardinal direction.
And I was leaving from like midtown Atlanta, and I
was in the station. I had to peece so bad,
and uh, I couldn't find anywhere to go. I tried
to go to like the back where like all the
engineer shit is just rats like running just past my feet.
(31:33):
And I go into this elevator and it's on the
second floor, and I start pulling my ship out to
pee in the corner of the elevator because that's all
I can find. And as soon as I pull it out,
it starts descending and I look out of the glass
because it's a glass are at this point, I'm not
but I'm looking down and through the corner of the
(31:55):
glass of the floor as it's descending, there's just a
massive family, like i'd say about seven deep, and those
little white girls and white boys in this family. And
I'm like, my worst nightmare is like a sex charge
with my black dick out. And I start to you know,
(32:20):
I start putting it back in to zip it up.
But you know, once you like hit the pea button,
your body's like we're peeing. That's it.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
So I'm standing and as the door opens to this
white family in Atlanta who are just coming from like
a baseball game or something, they just see me standing
there with a peace spot descending down both sides of
my legs, and I think I started crying a little bit,
(32:50):
like because that had never happened to me before. And I
just I like got I had to get on the
train and like ride it for like an hour.
