(00:21):

Rick Tittle, powered by the Eighth Side. All right, we
do have Arie Spears with us, and it's always great
to welcome Aris to the show. And he is going
to be at the Helium Comedy Club this weekend headlining
(00:42):
in Atlanta. Aries, welcome back to the show. How do
you How do you find the atl as a New
York guy? Is it kind of old hat? Or is it?
Is it changed from the original time you went there?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, I've been here, it's so long, so you know,
it's kind of somewhat so much how I remember it,
you know, but I haven't been hearing so long. But
you know, it's good to.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Be back though, So I remember you tell me one time.
It's like, hey man, I am adjusting, adjusting to you,
my fans. I'm just gonna do my show. So when
you write a new hour, like, do you do you
work it out in the small clubs or do you
just kind of like just bring it.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
A little bit of both? Uh? You know, I don't.
I don't really like to go out too much when
I'm home because I'm on the road so much. So
once I go home, I kind of like to relax.
But when I go out on the road, you know,
maybe on the Thursday show to a Sunday show because it's
just one that'll be the prime for me to experiment.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I always wonder too, like when when you're walking by,
do people maybe something from Mad TV? Or do they
go TP TP, what's up? Baby? Like do you get
the character names?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No? Not really, But at the shows I get people
yelling out for me to do certain impressions.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's the thing too. I mean it's sort of like
going to a hockey game and there's no fight. Like
if you're gonna see Aery Spears, you want people want
to see impressions. What what are you getting these days? Like?
What do people want to see? Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know, it really does vary because everybody has their
you know, their their own favorite. So you know, you
know a dozen people are yelling out, You're gonna hear
everything from Shack to Tony Soprano to jay Z to Denzel. Uh.
So it just everybody just shouts whatever their favorite is.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
When that last time I had Shack on my show,
he ended the show, he goes bye bye, pretty Ricky,
and I thought, I'll take that from a seven foot
three guy. Uh, I got called, but he goes bye bye,
pretty Ricky. Can I put that in the bank.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, if it came from him one night.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You also have you know, I didn't even know this.
I was just looking online. You have not one cool name,
you have two because from look correct me if I'm wrong.
Your your first name is technically Nairobi, right.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, but I never thought it was cool, so I
never used it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Really Yeah, well aries is cool for sure, But I
mean like when you go to class, there'll be like, uh,
Nairobi spears and you're like, nah, don't call me that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
No, they never they never would call me that because
I never used it from jump, so I've always gone by.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Airs, gotcha. So now when you think about like all
the stuff you've done, like if you're some late night,
just watching TV, just turning channels. Do you ever think like, oh,
I forgot I was in the hood of horror, Like
does something pop up and you're like, oh, damn, I
forgot about that one.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Not really, because I don't think I was in that
much that was too notable. Uh you know, maybe a
few things, but for the most part, the only thing
that makes me does makes me do is realize how
much bigger I've gotten in terms of weight. Uh. So know,
if anything, it's a motivator to try to get get.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right, no doubt. So what is like when you look
through your like film, filmography and and all the TV
shows you did, what is something Because I was like
people asking actors, what's a film that you like that
maybe the critics didn't like.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Again I I you know, I don't think that I've
been anything that notable, uh except you know, and then
and the one movie that you know I did that
was extremely notable all the critics love, which of course
was Jerry Maguire, right, But other than that, I think
a lot of other stuff I've done has just kind
of gone under the radar.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So, like, you know, after Jerry Maguire, you did the
past like that was the John Legazamo, right, that was yeah, yeah,
So I just think about like, you know, for you now,
when you're sitting in a trailer, is it it's still
kind of like an old hat or do you still
kind of get that buzz Like damn, I'm kind of
(05:05):
a movie star right here.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's the heck of a word to you. I don't
think that applies to me. You know, when you talk
about movie stars, you think about Denzel brad Pitt, George Cooney,
Saloon's Westernegger. I'm not in that up for echelon. I'm
just a guy that's occasionally made a movie.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Don't you think it's weird how anyone in a parn
is all is just called a porn star, Like that's
just like it's just the accepted term, right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, I mean it probably is, especially when the real
star of the movie is the anatomy.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
All right, everybody needs to get go to Heliumcomedy dot

(07:41):
And I know you always refer to yourself as a
guy who looks like he's in the seventh grade. Have
you aged at all lately?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Not at all? Matter of fact, I'm aging backward, Benjamin
Button getting a lot of yeah, yeah, yeah, Benjamin. But yeah,
you look good. You look young for your age as
I okay, so are you trying to like, are you
flirting with me? What's that mean?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, something happened to me where because I'm fifty nine
and when I was fifty. Everybody was like, are you
thirty eight? And I'm like, I'm fifty. They're like, no way, now,
they go, what are you about fifty five? And that's
still that's still giving me four years. But it's just
not it's not any fun anymore, is.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Not at all? Yeah, I get that young age. I'm like,
what did you a pedophile? Like?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Stop that?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Like what is this? Like if I was young, you
were like, ooh, you're such a kiddy, Like, eh, get
out of here. That's a reverse compliment. How are you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'm doing all right. Thanks, And I should mention this
is going to be at the punchline coming up on
Tuesday seven thirty. You're acting chops. You know now that
you're acting. Did you take that to like a fish
to water or did you have to like really take
a lot of classes and such things.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I took one class in a summer program years ago.
But I always been in the the man, Like in
elementary school. I was doing play in church, you know,
being forced to memorize Matthew verse one eighteen scripture. And
I'm like, okay, I guess that's why the Lord had
me and had me doing play.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
They were telling me early in the early age of
like getting to get into acting.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So yeah, I always loved it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, well Whitney Houston, didn't she start off in the
choir right as a little girl?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, when he used to this there in the choir,
And I started off in the play trying to give
Jesus a gift. But my gift was a Ninja turtletoy.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Very good. Can you tell us about like when you do?
It's interesting because when you've done Fallen and Conan and
all those things that used to be Yeah, that would
change your life. You might get a sitcom out of it,
and now it's like, well, I'd rather be on Maren
or I'd rather Beyond Rogan. It's kind of flipped, it,
hasn't it.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, it's definitely changed. But now it's just for the
love of the art of stand up if that makes sense.
Like I just love like you're doing an hour and
then you can go on a late night show and
still do for the four minutes and fifty five seconds. Man,
I mean, I was just impressed with those guys. So
it's really a personal goal at this point. But I
(10:23):
still think it's a great muscle that have man to
like be able to concentrate your jokes down to like
you know, that pulpe of orange juice, and then be
able to go to the clubs and just like I
have a whole different other persona. So it's cool, man,
But yeah it's not. But it's not for the same man.
I do it for the love, man, and those guys
are really cool to me, like Conan and Balance.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You know. I always love it when I go to
New York too, because I'm a stand up comedy nerd
and you know the Seller and the fat Line and
the View and yeah, but you know Upper East at
the Strip or Gotham stand up New York, Like, I
go to all these places and it's so fun. Like
for you, when was the last time you, like did
(11:06):
a night where you maybe had five or six sets
sets and you're just running around everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Woo, man, it's been a minute. Especially in this weather, man,
it's we got six degrees, man, mother nature owes us money.
So he no, it's been a couple of years, Rick,
I'm not going to lie to you. Like I would
do a bring a show at five thirty and then
I would run over to like the Comedy Seller, doing
(11:33):
the Village Atlanta, and then back uptown to the Comicship Live,
and then back downtown to do Gotham like all over.
And this was before the congestion pricing. It was free.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, what is that now? Because I remember, like twenty
years ago in London, if I drove into central London,
I had to stop at a petrol stop and pay
like five quid. What's going on in Manhattan with that now? Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Man, Manhattan is just just trying to get rid of
the work class.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They're really poor people. Man. And now now it's those cameras.
They're like the end of six flags. Or they take
a picture. Yeah, man, they take a picture of you. You
got pay nine dollars for they foward you off that ride.
They forced you to get your picture off that ride. Man,
Easy passes, easy pass on. They out here, man, they
taking your picture.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I remember years ago in San Francisco. I guess I
went through a red light, you know, maybe right when
it was turning from yellow to red, and I saw
all the flashes poof, poof, poof, and I'm like, oh no,
they sent me a picture and it was my car
and driving the car. It looked like the elephant Man's sister.
I'm like, that's me, That's what I look like. Yeah,
(12:38):
I'm like, I had no idea was that ugly when
I drove.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, it's not you, man, traffic police, they definitely have
photoshop when they send those tickets off new or convicious, man,
not like beautiful San frand I can't wait to be there, man,
I hope to see you hang out now.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, no, come on by. You know that's the thing too,
is that we my perspective as a barrier native of
what's cold to me, like the coldest day ever would
be like, you know, forty eight degrees and ah yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Oh that's summer. That summer. I would live for that.
I would die for that, Oh my god. Yeah. But
you guys have like really good like or not good,
but like that that wind shill factory. It gets windy
off that, babe.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah. And you know, no one, not even the Native Americans,
lived in San Francisco until the gold Rush. We all
lived in all the sunny places. This is the only
place that has hills and is freezing, and yet that's
where the city was born. How about that?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah exactly, man. Yeah, Well I'm just glad we're
not in our Arizona. Just building populations in the desert.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
So you go, yeah, we don't.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You guys got a good got a good area.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
We got some people pooing in the streets. But there's
no scorpions.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Hilarious, yes, No, or sprinkles on the roof to cool
it down. It's like, look, the sun is telling you
just did not be here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Also orange, everybody's that irone skin, that.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Trump orange skin. Yeah, so for you, I mean they
love you. On HBO from you know, Tu Dope, Queen's Boardwalk, Empire, Succession,
and there's some massive shows. What's it like being in
like the cannon of those shows?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Man, that was amazing, especially Succession man like just really
roasting the family and Logan Roy Man, that's a bad guy.
He was in character the whole time, even like offset
like I was scared to talk to him. I was like, man,
I think I think he doesn't even like me at all,
Like I'm not even his son. This is crazy like
this like we're a crafty man, he don't want to smile. Nope,
(14:47):
he is in character. So it was it was amazing
man and it like really gave me good recognition, and
it was it was just a great show and how
they how they filmed it. So I learned a lot
too behind the scenes film wise.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was intimidated by Bran Cox until I was watching
McDonald's commercial and he's.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Like, oh man, oh man, what's that other brand cost
commercial where he's funny like he's a parent or he's.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Like in college, and look, I ain't gonna say he's
selling out. I'll take that check, oh man.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Of course, man, I mean we living in the corporate world,
in this beautiful vendor machine country bass. How much does
a cough a day? So we used to go get
the income as much as we can't.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right. So when you went to the seller and
was Sti or Liz whatever who wrecked you? Did you
have two or one who said you got to get
this kid on?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Oh man, that was like two thousand and sixteen hours
past there. Este was amazing. Yeah, I think I got
a reckon. I think I'll go it to Keith Robinson
and Keith Robinson already for Quah, those guys Amy Schumer
as well to those white with some great commerce. I
(15:59):
already looked out for me and yeah, so now, I
mean it's it's it's flooded now, so I really haven't
put my bails in. But I say, you want me
as a comic, I get a good discount. So the
food is amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, the olive tree, I'll sit, I'll sit up there
near the table. But I don't. I don't go to
the back. I know my place. But I do like it.
If you use the bathroom, you go down the same
set of stairs. That's fun for me.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yes, and then you actually get to see a glimpse
of a little bit of the show. But you got
to keep it walking, man, because that's the only bumping
to the waiststats. He gotta keep it moving Grand Central
down there.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Man. You mentioned Keith, and of course he had the stroke,
but I I talked to him a couple of months
ago and uh, it's still there. It's just it's you know,
his brain is fine, it's just hard for him to
get it out sometimes.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah. No, but he's no. Yeah, Keith is still great man.
He just like guys his hands that he really can't move.
But now and he just had like a great special
that came out. So Keith is the man man, He's
he's o g Man and it's just good to be around.

think that applies to me. You know, when you talk
about movie stars, you think about Denzel brad Pitt, George Cooney,
Saloon's Westernegger. I'm not in that up for echelon. I'm
just a guy that's occasionally made a movie.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Don't you think it's weird how anyone in a parn
is all is just called a porn star, Like that's
just like it's just the accepted term, right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, I mean it probably is, especially when the real
star of the movie is the anatomy.

Not at all? Matter of fact, I'm aging backward, Benjamin
Button getting a lot of yeah, yeah, yeah, Benjamin. But yeah,
you look good. You look young for your age as
I okay, so are you trying to like, are you
flirting with me? What's that mean?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, something happened to me where because I'm fifty nine
and when I was fifty. Everybody was like, are you
thirty eight? And I'm like, I'm fifty. They're like, no way, now,
they go, what are you about fifty five? And that's
still that's still giving me four years. But it's just
not it's not any fun anymore, is.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Not at all? Yeah, I get that young age. I'm like,
what did you a pedophile? Like?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Stop that?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Like what is this? Like if I was young, you
were like, ooh, you're such a kiddy, Like, eh, get
out of here. That's a reverse compliment. How are you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'm doing all right. Thanks, And I should mention this
is going to be at the punchline coming up on
Tuesday seven thirty. You're acting chops. You know now that
you're acting. Did you take that to like a fish
to water or did you have to like really take
a lot of classes and such things.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I took one class in a summer program years ago.
But I always been in the the man, Like in
elementary school. I was doing play in church, you know,
being forced to memorize Matthew verse one eighteen scripture. And
I'm like, okay, I guess that's why the Lord had
me and had me doing play.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
They were telling me early in the early age of
like getting to get into acting.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So yeah, I always loved it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, well Whitney Houston, didn't she start off in the
choir right as a little girl?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, when he used to this there in the choir,
And I started off in the play trying to give
Jesus a gift. But my gift was a Ninja turtletoy.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Very good. Can you tell us about like when you do?
It's interesting because when you've done Fallen and Conan and
all those things that used to be Yeah, that would
change your life. You might get a sitcom out of it,
and now it's like, well, I'd rather be on Maren
or I'd rather Beyond Rogan. It's kind of flipped, it,
hasn't it.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, it's definitely changed. But now it's just for the
love of the art of stand up if that makes sense.
Like I just love like you're doing an hour and
then you can go on a late night show and
still do for the four minutes and fifty five seconds. Man,
I mean, I was just impressed with those guys. So
it's really a personal goal at this point. But I
(10:23):
still think it's a great muscle that have man to
like be able to concentrate your jokes down to like
you know, that pulpe of orange juice, and then be
able to go to the clubs and just like I
have a whole different other persona. So it's cool, man,
But yeah it's not. But it's not for the same man.
I do it for the love, man, and those guys
are really cool to me, like Conan and Balance.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You know. I always love it when I go to
New York too, because I'm a stand up comedy nerd
and you know the Seller and the fat Line and
the View and yeah, but you know Upper East at
the Strip or Gotham stand up New York, Like, I
go to all these places and it's so fun. Like
for you, when was the last time you, like did
(11:06):
a night where you maybe had five or six sets
sets and you're just running around everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Woo, man, it's been a minute. Especially in this weather, man,
it's we got six degrees, man, mother nature owes us money.
So he no, it's been a couple of years, Rick,
I'm not going to lie to you. Like I would
do a bring a show at five thirty and then
I would run over to like the Comedy Seller, doing
(11:33):
the Village Atlanta, and then back uptown to the Comicship Live,
and then back downtown to do Gotham like all over.
And this was before the congestion pricing. It was free.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, what is that now? Because I remember, like twenty
years ago in London, if I drove into central London,
I had to stop at a petrol stop and pay
like five quid. What's going on in Manhattan with that now? Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Man, Manhattan is just just trying to get rid of
the work class.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They're really poor people. Man. And now now it's those cameras.
They're like the end of six flags. Or they take
a picture. Yeah, man, they take a picture of you. You
got pay nine dollars for they foward you off that ride.
They forced you to get your picture off that ride. Man,
Easy passes, easy pass on. They out here, man, they
taking your picture.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I remember years ago in San Francisco. I guess I
went through a red light, you know, maybe right when
it was turning from yellow to red, and I saw
all the flashes poof, poof, poof, and I'm like, oh no,
they sent me a picture and it was my car
and driving the car. It looked like the elephant Man's sister.
I'm like, that's me, That's what I look like. Yeah,
(12:38):
I'm like, I had no idea was that ugly when
I drove.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, it's not you, man, traffic police, they definitely have
photoshop when they send those tickets off new or convicious, man,
not like beautiful San frand I can't wait to be there, man,
I hope to see you hang out now.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, no, come on by. You know that's the thing too,
is that we my perspective as a barrier native of
what's cold to me, like the coldest day ever would
be like, you know, forty eight degrees and ah yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Oh that's summer. That summer. I would live for that.
I would die for that, Oh my god. Yeah. But
you guys have like really good like or not good,
but like that that wind shill factory. It gets windy
off that, babe.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah. And you know, no one, not even the Native Americans,
lived in San Francisco until the gold Rush. We all
lived in all the sunny places. This is the only
place that has hills and is freezing, and yet that's
where the city was born. How about that?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah exactly, man. Yeah, Well I'm just glad we're
not in our Arizona. Just building populations in the desert.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:42):

and there's some massive shows. What's it like being in
like the cannon of those shows?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Man, that was amazing, especially Succession man like just really
roasting the family and Logan Roy Man, that's a bad guy.
He was in character the whole time, even like offset
like I was scared to talk to him. I was like, man,
I think I think he doesn't even like me at all,
Like I'm not even his son. This is crazy like
this like we're a crafty man, he don't want to smile. Nope,
(14:47):
he is in character. So it was it was amazing
man and it like really gave me good recognition, and
it was it was just a great show and how
they how they filmed it. So I learned a lot
too behind the scenes film wise.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was intimidated by Bran Cox until I was watching
McDonald's commercial and he's.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Like, oh man, oh man, what's that other brand cost
