And it's just about family and good vibes, bro like
when we come together. So bringing that to a stand
up because I started doing stand up in twenty twenty four,
so that that was a whole new world for me.
But I definitely respect it because it's not the same
as doing the skit in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
No, it's not really different world. Like you funny, but
like being on stage. Yeah, that's a different funny exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And it's not like, oh, you're gonna come and see
like what we do at the house like as a skin. No,
I'm doing a stand up for an hour, you know,
and then you know, if I do bring mom up,
then we'll you know, we'll fuck around or whatever. You know,
I'll try and piss her off, like that's my thing.
Speaker 2 (06:14):

the Barclay Center and then one at the Prudential Center,
and that was actually, if I really think about it,
that was my first time doing stand up, my first
time sold out, showed out Bad Bunny Come in New York.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I had five minutes prepared and I told them the production.
I said, hey, I got five minutes. They put me
after the DJ before Bad Bunny. So this is when
everybody's already seated, nobody's outside getting drinks.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
This show.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, the show is starting now. I said, I got
five minutes, and I prepared them five minutes. I had
them ready. I finished my five minutes and I was like,

do extra eight nine minutes. So what do you do
there where all.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The flat bitches that makes some noise? Yeah, you got what?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I said, Lord, I'm in the middle of this packed
out or twenty thousand people screaming, I said, Yo, Lord,

this is what you want. Let's see. I was up
there sweating bullets. Yo, my arm pitch stink instantly, like

then it all worked out, Yeah, it did. It all
worked out, and then the next day it got even better.
So the five minutes that I worked on I turned
it into like six seven and it worked even better.
And then the final night it was like the best
one I did. So that's when I learned, like, okay,
that repetition, you know, it's like me sharpening the skills

more after that, it would have gotten even better.

like being on stage. Yeah, that's a different funny exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
