Ever wondered what it’s like to mix stand-up comedy with a mean golf swing? Legendary comedian Buddy Lewis joins us, bringing his signature humor and a treasure trove of stories from his days on "Martin" to the quirky charm of interviewing him in his mom's living room. From hilarious behind-the-scenes moments with Martin Lawrence to the pride of his Howard University roots, Buddy's anecdotes are sure to keep you laughing. We also have a good chuckle about his claim to fame as one of the top comic golfers, underlining his dominance specifically in the comedy community.
We shift gears and tackle the humorous misunderstandings in technology with a personal story involving a cordless phone debacle that highlights the generational tech gap. Our chat then takes a flavorful turn as we discuss the joys and risks of dining at hood spots, where the food is as authentic as the neighborhood is sketchy. Shared laughs and relatable stories about everyday experiences keep the conversation lively and engaging.
Finally, we dive into the evolution of comedy promotion, reminiscing about the days of flyers and radio spots and comparing them to today's need for a robust social media presence. Buddy shares delightful memories from his time on "House Party 4" and his quirky collections, adding depth and nostalgia to our discussion. Wrapping up with mutual appreciation and humorous anecdotes, this episode promises a hearty mix of fun, nostalgia, and invaluable insights into the comedy world.

I am.
Every time I travel out of thestate and I got a show out of
the state I always book a hotel.
They got a restaurant inside.
I be scared as hell.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Boy.
That made me all bawdy for onetime.
That's a dog on chain.
You know what, man?
When I first started doingstand-up comedy, that used to be
One of the staples.
When you went to a club youwould do the club because a lot
of the clubs were one nightersthat a drug dealer did, or you
(19:18):
know you had a friend that had.
You know they had a night at a,at a, at a spot you know it's
really a bar, but they'd have anight and you could go in there
and stay.
But the thing was you wouldalways go and do some promotions
and stuff at the restaurants.
They would take you to the bestsoul food spot in town or the
(19:43):
restaurant was next door to abeauty shop or a barbershop and
you'd do all the promotion andstuff.
It was like a one-stop thing.
You'd hit the barbershop and thesoul food place and next thing
you know there's a crowd in theplace.
You know because you went anddid some local promoting.
So yeah, man, I used to hit all.
That's why I know like it's notthat I'm just fat, I just even
(20:09):
though that's true, you know,but when I was doing, when I
first started doing stand-up inthe early 90s that was one of
the things that promoters woulddo.
They would like you know.
You would get to a city andthey would from the plane,
before you even got to yourhotel room.
They would take your ass aroundthe city promoting in all of
(20:31):
these places and inevitably youalways went to a soul food spot
a good food spot.
So that was.
That was part of the.
That was part of like the thewhole ritual when you came to a
town.
You know, you know, yeah, I gotdef jam comedy buddy lewis you
know, don't make me feel BuddyLewis and you be in there Eating
(20:54):
Mama's soul food kitchen.
Oh, you're the comedy dude.
Yeah, I'm the comedy dude.
Come on out to the show andTrixie Ritzies, it be some job,
ass Like place With some raggedyass name Flexi, flexi B's,
flexi B's, flexi B's Bar andGrill.
(21:15):
And you go in there and you dohood comedy man.
They turn the music off but youalways got to a soulful spot
and the one black radio station.
That was it.
That's how we used to promoteBefore your little newfangled
(21:36):
apps and shit on the phone.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I'm going to be honest with you.
I think the apps take away froma lot of shit sometimes.
Man, I'm being straight up,honest with you.
I had a promoter tell me onetime.
He's like, man, you're funny ashell, but you ain't got no
followers.
I'm like I thought 1500 was alot, said.
Nah, man, we need motherfuckersthat got 20 000 and up.
(21:59):
So he was like that's what yougotta do, you gotta get a viral
clip.
And I went up ahead with one ofthose guys that had over 20 000
followers and I ain't had nodead, like, no dead silence.
He had a couple dead silence.
He started fighting for hislife in there.
Literally that's what we say hewas like when that crowd is
there, you got to fight for yourlife, you got to fight to bring
that energy back up and I waslike, is that?
(22:23):
The new thing that we're goingto, because I don't know how it
was back then, because I onlybeen doing comedy five years.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And two of those years in the lockdown.
Oh yeah, man, that's that's.
That's.
That's a whole differentaudience right there.
You, you're not just fightingfor your life, you're trying to
protect your asshole.
I was like damn, you're tryingto get something put on your
books.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
No, COVID lockdown.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
COVID lockdown.
Okay, I missed it.
Okay, good, that's good.
No, man, you know, I thinkthere are some people back in
the day, man, there was.
No, you know, people don'trealize, man, that.
(23:16):
You know, the cell phone isonly really like 20 years old.
I mean, you know, in reality,the kind of phone service that
we have is only about 25 yearsold.
You know, 2000,.
Between 1999, there were peoplethat had them big ass.
There was a big ass phone inyour in a box, but I'm talking
about a real cell phone that'slike the size of a, you know,
(23:36):
like a, like a, like a, a, aphone, a flip phones and all
that.
It's only about 20, only about25 years old man you know really
, you know, and service, youknow so.
So you had to do a differenttype of motion.
These apps, and you know, Imean you know we're talking,
we're going from off of thecomputer to being in your phone.
That's a whole nothertransition of promoting.
(23:58):
That wasn't available in theearly nineties.
You know, when I started doingstandup comedy, you had to do
the old fashioned grind man.
You had to go.
You either had a radio stationor you had um.
You had to go and pass outflyers.
You had to.
You had to go and pass outflyers.
You had to do real.
Basically, it was hand-to-handcombat to promote.
(24:19):
So we didn't have the luxury ofdoing a video and putting it on
Instagram or doing a thing andputting it on.
I mean, you've got to remember,man, only a couple of comics
made their way on myspace andthen it changed, like dane cook
made his life on myspace.
For people that don't know whatit is.
That was one of the first likesocial media apps, you know.
(24:40):
And then there was there was,then there was um, facebook, and
then there was uh, uh, you knowthere was divine, and then all
those, you know people starteddoing those funds and all that
stuff.
And then instagram came along.
It was you know.
People started doing thosesigns and all that stuff.
And then Instagram came along.
It was you know.
You guys could say at one timeyou could only put like 15
seconds of the video on.
That was it.
You couldn't even watch videoon your phone, you know, it
(25:03):
wasn't.
There wasn't the capabilitiesto to digitize something on a
phone was that was you know,that was that's new.
Digitize something on a phonewas that was you know, that was
that's new, that's very new.
And and you know, I think oneof the first phones that had a
phone on it was a next tail.
You know, when you and you hadto flip that phone up and put
phone and you can only takeabout 10 seconds of video before
(25:26):
you would shut down your wholephone.
It would, it would crash yourwhole.
Entire.
Blueberry was the thing.
So I mean blackberry, Peoplehad blackberries, but that
wasn't nothing but a big-assbeaver.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I had one, I remember .
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I mean, so it had a pen write on it.
People was like, oh, this is sonew.
So the technology changed, man,and when the technology changed
, so did the.
The ability to promote and andand get people to buy into your
(26:05):
whatever it is you were doing ata club there was.
There was a different thing,and so technology has helped.
But now people are relying onthe technology and this is the
sad thing that's happened.
Now Clubs and venues don'tpromote themselves anymore.
(26:27):
They don't promote, they expectthe comic or the talent to bring
their crowd with them, andthat's a difference.
I think that has also happenedacross.
You know, like you probablynever seen any.
I mean, there used to be clubsthat would promote the club, you
(26:49):
know.
I mean you know the laugh thatwhen I first started, you know,
the comedy at theater had acommercial running every week.
So they promoted the club.
So it didn't matter who was,who was coming, the club
promoted itself.
It was the.
It was I'm going to the comedyclub, I'm going to see, you know
(27:09):
.
And of course Robin Harris wasfamous, but at the time he
wasn't.
He was the draw a lot of times,but it was the club itself, and
so that's changed.
That I mean right now.
That's why promoters are lazyand they're cheap.
Most comedy clubs you'veprobably never seen an ad in
your city for any of the comedyclubs unless they're promoting a
(27:32):
particular branded comic.
They don't have a standingrunning ad for the rest of the
week, it's just when DL comes totown or when Ricky Smiley comes
to town this week.
Ricky Smiley at the pub theymight, but back in the day that
was different and so now that'swhy promoters and club owners
(27:53):
and all that kind of stuff, theywant the comic to do that work
and it's really kind of unfair.
It's really kind of unfair tounless you're a name brand, a
branded comic, that's difficultwhen you're outside of your own
city or you're in a new place topromote, because that's
(28:16):
expensive.
For me, other than Instagram orFacebook, if I don't have and
really man, to really bepromoted across the country in a
place you have to have, I wouldsay you probably need 200,000
or between 200,000 and 500,000people to promote in a city,
(28:39):
like you know.
Let's say I'm from LA and I goto Detroit.
I need half a million peoplebecause I need maybe out of that
, you know, 250 or 500,000people when I go to Detroit, I
need 5,000 of those people toknow I'm there, so that for that
week where the club has 250 or300 seats, I have a full night
(29:06):
and clubs aren't doing thatanymore, with that anymore.
So they're leaving it andpromoters, club owners, bookers,
are putting that impetus andwork on the comic, which isn't
fair, or the act, and that's notjust comics, that's music,
that's whatever, because thereare some clubs that still do
music.
I'm sure there's some clubs inHampton that have jazz or R&B or
(29:30):
rap or whatever.
They have poetry or whatever,and it's weird They'll promote
that before they'll promotecomedy.
So I think that's the bigdifference, you know, in comedy.
(29:51):
As it relates to promoting yourbrand, you know, and so like
$25,000 ain't't going, that'scool, that's good, that's more
than I have on my thing rightnow because I got hacked, so I
got to build my numbers back up.
Man, I lost my 25,000.
So I'm building my thing backup, but until you have about, I
(30:15):
would say, 250,000 to 500,000people you're going to, you're
going to have, you havelimitations.
Let me say, promoting yourbrand outside of the city, that
you're in promoting your brandoutside of the city that you're
(30:35):
in, so you know, and it justtakes.
it takes time to build that up.
And and and, and there's nothingwrong with the slow build man
you don't want.
You don't want fake, you don'twant the fakey fans.
Because you hurt yourself whenyou start buying the fakey fans
and people think, oh man, he'sgot a million people on this
thing and you come in and youcan't get 50 people to come to a
(30:58):
show.
That don't make no sense and aclub owner will be like, okay, I
ain't booking this fool, nomore.
Either you've said somethingthat makes people hate you or
your fans are fake.
Your numbers are straight fake,homie, you got fakey fans.
So I say, build your numbers up.
(31:22):
You know, if you're a comic man, build your numbers up
legitimately, man.
And I'm so jealous of a lot ofyoung comics man because they've
learned how to use the Internetto their advantage.
You know, taking advantage ofhow to you know edit on their
(31:43):
phone and on the go and do it.
Wish I had that in myrepertoire.
I think I wish I would have hadit when I was a younger comic
and then more versed.
But but I tell all of the youngcomics man, keep, keep doing
your, keep doing your, keepdoing your thing with that.
(32:04):
You know, just keep buildingyour numbers and going in clubs
letting them see you do a littlecrowd work and put that out on
the internet.
Man, just keep doing that andbuild your numbers up, because
that's how casting directors,that's how everybody kind of
looks at who's going to get arole in the movie, who's going
to get a role in the show?
What do their numbers look like?
(32:27):
Yeah, You're right yeah man, youcan get OnlyFans if you want.
Advertise you doing some?
Yeah, I studied, you Studied,you studied, you build your
(32:57):
numbers up so for the people outthere, you can follow my
OnlyFans at.

magnet.
She'd stick it on her like thisOkay, then he'd open the damn
door of the refrigerator On damnmagnets we just got the
porcelain dolls, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Man, I can't do this shit, oh God, this is the funny
story.
This is the reason why Istopped drinking.
I came in the house drunk onenight and it was Christmas.
You know those little roboticSanta Claus's that you be seeing

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I'm cool.
Sometimes, man, you don'trealize there's a blessing.
There's a blessing in terror.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I was like I'm cool, I ain't about to do this.
You know how bad it is to gothrough the garage and be like
middle of the night you're likeI'm going through the garage and
that damn thing is just I'm notgonna do it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I ain't mad at you, I'm not gonna do it.
Yeah, I know I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I consider you two an icon in the game, to your
credit.
This is crazy.
Now I'm going to keep it realwith you.
I watch House Party 4.
And you definitely kept theenergy up in the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, thank you, man, that was a fun experience
working with.
Well, thank you, man.
That was a fun experienceworking with the group Immature
man, they were really good dudes, man.
They were young kids then, youknow, and we had a lot of fun
shooting that movie.
Mari Morrow is what played mywife.
(40:11):
She was a very talented sister.
She had been in a lot of stuffprior to that movie.
Uh, mario is, uh, what playedmy wife.
She was, uh, a very talentedsister.
She had been in a lot of stuffprior to that movie.
You know how to be a player,and she had done several movies.
So it was just, it was just afun.
It was a fun experience withkim whitley and um, let's see
who else was in there um, I'mtrying to think of it was just a
(40:33):
whole group of very, verytalented people, man, and we had
fun putting that movie together.
So, yeah, house Party 4, thatwas the last one, and I guess
you know every now and then,when you get to the last one,
it's like, okay, we ain't doingno more of these, this is the
(40:54):
last.
Well, I think they did one morehouse party movie that came out
this year, but it didn't haveany.
It was like a modern version ofthe old one.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
They did one with the guy that played in Everybody
Hates Chris, the younger brother, Drew.
I was feeling that House Partywas dope.
Like I said, you really keptthe energy up because the scene
when you was in the car with thetaxi driver and y'all thought
he was a mass murderer.
Mass murderer, and y'all wasrunning through the woods.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And her mama slid down that hill.
We had to film that like two orthree times because I was
laughing too hard.
When she slid down that hill,dog, I was like, and the mother
was right behind us, they had totime it like, okay, really bad,
y'all like, and we filmed thatright out.
The director was Chris Stokes,man.
(41:56):
So we were shooting everythinglike you know, rogue and you
know, and with no permits andstuff.
So, like man, we shot thatscene late one night and his
mama slid down that hill.
That was like right next to hishouse Because we didn't have no
room room, you know, it's notlike we were in a, a forest or
(42:16):
something, it was just like a,the backyard behind their house.
Yeah, when she came down thathill, dog, that made me laugh.
So, yeah, we, we had fun, man,we had fun shooting that movie.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
It was fun that was fun, I liked it, it was better,
because I hated the third one,the third house party.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
The second one was cool, but the third one was like
, and matter of fact, that was,uh, megan Good, I want to say
one of her first movies correctand man, you know, megan Good, I

Them neighborhoods, you ducking, don't put me next to a window.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Hell nah.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You want to be in the back.
You know that friendly firemight get you.
You don't want to be around.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
no friendly fire, let me tell you how much of a punk
I am.
Every time I travel out of thestate and I got a show out of
the state I always book a hotel.
They got a restaurant inside.
I be scared as hell.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Boy.
That made me all bawdy for onetime.
That's a dog on chain.
You know what, man?
When I first started doingstand-up comedy, that used to be
One of the staples.
When you went to a club youwould do the club because a lot
of the clubs were one nightersthat a drug dealer did, or you
(19:18):
know you had a friend that had.
You know they had a night at a,at a, at a spot you know it's
really a bar, but they'd have anight and you could go in there
and stay.
But the thing was you wouldalways go and do some promotions
and stuff at the restaurants.
They would take you to the bestsoul food spot in town or the
(19:43):
restaurant was next door to abeauty shop or a barbershop and
you'd do all the promotion andstuff.
It was like a one-stop thing.
You'd hit the barbershop and thesoul food place and next thing
you know there's a crowd in theplace.
You know because you went anddid some local promoting.
So yeah, man, I used to hit all.
That's why I know like it's notthat I'm just fat, I just even
(20:09):
though that's true, you know,but when I was doing, when I
first started doing stand-up inthe early 90s that was one of
the things that promoters woulddo.
They would like you know.
You would get to a city andthey would from the plane,
before you even got to yourhotel room.
They would take your ass aroundthe city promoting in all of
(20:31):
these places and inevitably youalways went to a soul food spot
a good food spot.
So that was.
That was part of the.
That was part of like the thewhole ritual when you came to a
town.
You know, you know, yeah, I gotdef jam comedy buddy lewis you
know, don't make me feel BuddyLewis and you be in there Eating
(20:54):
Mama's soul food kitchen.
Oh, you're the comedy dude.
Yeah, I'm the comedy dude.
Come on out to the show andTrixie Ritzies, it be some job,
ass Like place With some raggedyass name Flexi, flexi B's,
flexi B's, flexi B's Bar andGrill.
(21:15):
And you go in there and you dohood comedy man.
They turn the music off but youalways got to a soulful spot
and the one black radio station.
That was it.
That's how we used to promoteBefore your little newfangled
(21:36):
apps and shit on the phone.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I'm going to be honest with you.
I think the apps take away froma lot of shit sometimes.
Man, I'm being straight up,honest with you.
I had a promoter tell me onetime.
He's like, man, you're funny ashell, but you ain't got no
followers.
I'm like I thought 1500 was alot, said.
Nah, man, we need motherfuckersthat got 20 000 and up.
(21:59):
So he was like that's what yougotta do, you gotta get a viral
clip.
And I went up ahead with one ofthose guys that had over 20 000
followers and I ain't had nodead, like, no dead silence.
He had a couple dead silence.
He started fighting for hislife in there.
Literally that's what we say hewas like when that crowd is
there, you got to fight for yourlife, you got to fight to bring
that energy back up and I waslike, is that?
(22:23):
The new thing that we're goingto, because I don't know how it
was back then, because I onlybeen doing comedy five years.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And two of those years in the lockdown.
Oh yeah, man, that's that's.
That's.
That's a whole differentaudience right there.
You, you're not just fightingfor your life, you're trying to
protect your asshole.
I was like damn, you're tryingto get something put on your
books.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
No, COVID lockdown.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
COVID lockdown.
Okay, I missed it.
Okay, good, that's good.
No, man, you know, I thinkthere are some people back in
the day, man, there was.
No, you know, people don'trealize, man, that.
(23:16):
You know, the cell phone isonly really like 20 years old.
I mean, you know, in reality,the kind of phone service that
we have is only about 25 yearsold.
You know, 2000,.
Between 1999, there were peoplethat had them big ass.
There was a big ass phone inyour in a box, but I'm talking
about a real cell phone that'slike the size of a, you know,
(23:36):
like a, like a, like a, a, aphone, a flip phones and all
that.
It's only about 20, only about25 years old man you know really
, you know, and service, youknow so.
So you had to do a differenttype of motion.
These apps, and you know, Imean you know we're talking,
we're going from off of thecomputer to being in your phone.
That's a whole nothertransition of promoting.
(23:58):
That wasn't available in theearly nineties.
You know, when I started doingstandup comedy, you had to do
the old fashioned grind man.
You had to go.
You either had a radio stationor you had um.
You had to go and pass outflyers.
You had to.
You had to go and pass outflyers.
You had to do real.
Basically, it was hand-to-handcombat to promote.
(24:19):
So we didn't have the luxury ofdoing a video and putting it on
Instagram or doing a thing andputting it on.
I mean, you've got to remember,man, only a couple of comics
made their way on myspace andthen it changed, like dane cook
made his life on myspace.
For people that don't know whatit is.
That was one of the first likesocial media apps, you know.
(24:40):
And then there was there was,then there was um, facebook, and
then there was uh, uh, you knowthere was divine, and then all
those, you know people starteddoing those funds and all that
stuff.
And then instagram came along.
It was you know.
People started doing thosesigns and all that stuff.
And then Instagram came along.
It was you know.
You guys could say at one timeyou could only put like 15
seconds of the video on.
That was it.
You couldn't even watch videoon your phone, you know, it
(25:03):
wasn't.
There wasn't the capabilitiesto to digitize something on a
phone was that was you know,that was that's new.
Digitize something on a phonewas that was you know, that was
that's new, that's very new.
And and you know, I think oneof the first phones that had a
phone on it was a next tail.
You know, when you and you hadto flip that phone up and put
phone and you can only takeabout 10 seconds of video before
(25:26):
you would shut down your wholephone.
It would, it would crash yourwhole.
Entire.
Blueberry was the thing.
So I mean blackberry, Peoplehad blackberries, but that
wasn't nothing but a big-assbeaver.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I had one, I remember .
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I mean, so it had a pen write on it.
People was like, oh, this is sonew.
So the technology changed, man,and when the technology changed
, so did the.
The ability to promote and andand get people to buy into your
(26:05):
whatever it is you were doing ata club there was.
There was a different thing,and so technology has helped.
But now people are relying onthe technology and this is the
sad thing that's happened.
Now Clubs and venues don'tpromote themselves anymore.
(26:27):
They don't promote, they expectthe comic or the talent to bring
their crowd with them, andthat's a difference.
I think that has also happenedacross.
You know, like you probablynever seen any.
I mean, there used to be clubsthat would promote the club, you
(26:49):
know.
I mean you know the laugh thatwhen I first started, you know,
the comedy at theater had acommercial running every week.
So they promoted the club.
So it didn't matter who was,who was coming, the club
promoted itself.
It was the.
It was I'm going to the comedyclub, I'm going to see, you know
(27:09):
.
And of course Robin Harris wasfamous, but at the time he
wasn't.
He was the draw a lot of times,but it was the club itself, and
so that's changed.
That I mean right now.
That's why promoters are lazyand they're cheap.
Most comedy clubs you'veprobably never seen an ad in
your city for any of the comedyclubs unless they're promoting a
(27:32):
particular branded comic.
They don't have a standingrunning ad for the rest of the
week, it's just when DL comes totown or when Ricky Smiley comes
to town this week.
Ricky Smiley at the pub theymight, but back in the day that
was different and so now that'swhy promoters and club owners
(27:53):
and all that kind of stuff, theywant the comic to do that work
and it's really kind of unfair.
It's really kind of unfair tounless you're a name brand, a
branded comic, that's difficultwhen you're outside of your own
city or you're in a new place topromote, because that's
(28:16):
expensive.
For me, other than Instagram orFacebook, if I don't have and
really man, to really bepromoted across the country in a
place you have to have, I wouldsay you probably need 200,000
or between 200,000 and 500,000people to promote in a city,
(28:39):
like you know.
Let's say I'm from LA and I goto Detroit.
I need half a million peoplebecause I need maybe out of that
, you know, 250 or 500,000people when I go to Detroit, I
need 5,000 of those people toknow I'm there, so that for that
week where the club has 250 or300 seats, I have a full night
(29:06):
and clubs aren't doing thatanymore, with that anymore.
So they're leaving it andpromoters, club owners, bookers,
are putting that impetus andwork on the comic, which isn't
fair, or the act, and that's notjust comics, that's music,
that's whatever, because thereare some clubs that still do
music.
I'm sure there's some clubs inHampton that have jazz or R&B or
(29:30):
rap or whatever.
They have poetry or whatever,and it's weird They'll promote
that before they'll promotecomedy.
So I think that's the bigdifference, you know, in comedy.
(29:51):
As it relates to promoting yourbrand, you know, and so like
$25,000 ain't't going, that'scool, that's good, that's more
than I have on my thing rightnow because I got hacked, so I
got to build my numbers back up.
Man, I lost my 25,000.
So I'm building my thing backup, but until you have about, I
(30:15):
would say, 250,000 to 500,000people you're going to, you're
going to have, you havelimitations.
Let me say, promoting yourbrand outside of the city, that
you're in promoting your brandoutside of the city that you're
(30:35):
in, so you know, and it justtakes.
it takes time to build that up.
And and and, and there's nothingwrong with the slow build man
you don't want.
You don't want fake, you don'twant the fakey fans.
Because you hurt yourself whenyou start buying the fakey fans
and people think, oh man, he'sgot a million people on this
thing and you come in and youcan't get 50 people to come to a
(30:58):
show.
That don't make no sense and aclub owner will be like, okay, I
ain't booking this fool, nomore.
Either you've said somethingthat makes people hate you or
your fans are fake.
Your numbers are straight fake,homie, you got fakey fans.
So I say, build your numbers up.
(31:22):
You know, if you're a comic man, build your numbers up
legitimately, man.
And I'm so jealous of a lot ofyoung comics man because they've
learned how to use the Internetto their advantage.
You know, taking advantage ofhow to you know edit on their
(31:43):
phone and on the go and do it.
Wish I had that in myrepertoire.
I think I wish I would have hadit when I was a younger comic
and then more versed.
But but I tell all of the youngcomics man, keep, keep doing
your, keep doing your, keepdoing your thing with that.
(32:04):
You know, just keep buildingyour numbers and going in clubs
letting them see you do a littlecrowd work and put that out on
the internet.
Man, just keep doing that andbuild your numbers up, because
that's how casting directors,that's how everybody kind of
looks at who's going to get arole in the movie, who's going
to get a role in the show?
What do their numbers look like?
(32:27):
Yeah, You're right yeah man, youcan get OnlyFans if you want.
Advertise you doing some?
Yeah, I studied, you Studied,you studied, you build your
(32:57):
numbers up so for the people outthere, you can follow my
OnlyFans at.
Onlyfanscom.
You can follow me on OnlyFansComedy.

(37:43):
magnet.
She'd stick it on her like thisOkay, then he'd open the damn
door of the refrigerator On damnmagnets we just got the
porcelain dolls, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Man, I can't do this shit, oh God, this is the funny
story.
This is the reason why Istopped drinking.
I came in the house drunk onenight and it was Christmas.
You know those little roboticSanta Claus's that you be seeing
at the store she would put themby the front of the door.
So it was about 1 o'clock inthe morning.
(38:17):
I'm coming home, I'm drunk andI saw that thing moving.
I swore I heard her say getupstairs.
I stopped drinking after that.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I said yup, this is it the little Santa thing, get
upstairs, get upstairs getupstairs we had that weird
little dance and it was you know.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Santa's coming to town.

A little terrifying as Santa.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Six years.
I ain't had a drink in sixyears.
I'm like, I'm cool.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I'm cool.
Sometimes, man, you don'trealize there's a blessing.
There's a blessing in terror.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I was like I'm cool, I ain't about to do this.
You know how bad it is to gothrough the garage and be like
middle of the night you're likeI'm going through the garage and
that damn thing is just I'm notgonna do it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I ain't mad at you, I'm not gonna do it.
Yeah, I know I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I consider you two an icon in the game, to your
credit.
This is crazy.
Now I'm going to keep it realwith you.
I watch House Party 4.
And you definitely kept theenergy up in the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, thank you, man, that was a fun experience
working with.
Well, thank you, man.
That was a fun experienceworking with the group Immature
man, they were really good dudes, man.
They were young kids then, youknow, and we had a lot of fun
shooting that movie.
Mari Morrow is what played mywife.
(40:11):
She was a very talented sister.
She had been in a lot of stuffprior to that movie.
Uh, mario is, uh, what playedmy wife.
She was, uh, a very talentedsister.
She had been in a lot of stuffprior to that movie.
You know how to be a player,and she had done several movies.
So it was just, it was just afun.
It was a fun experience withkim whitley and um, let's see
who else was in there um, I'mtrying to think of it was just a
(40:33):
whole group of very, verytalented people, man, and we had
fun putting that movie together.
So, yeah, house Party 4, thatwas the last one, and I guess
you know every now and then,when you get to the last one,
it's like, okay, we ain't doingno more of these, this is the
(40:54):
last.
Well, I think they did one morehouse party movie that came out
this year, but it didn't haveany.
It was like a modern version ofthe old one.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
They did one with the guy that played in Everybody
Hates Chris, the younger brother, Drew.
I was feeling that House Partywas dope.
Like I said, you really keptthe energy up because the scene
when you was in the car with thetaxi driver and y'all thought
he was a mass murderer.
Mass murderer, and y'all wasrunning through the woods.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And her mama slid down that hill.
We had to film that like two orthree times because I was
laughing too hard.
When she slid down that hill,dog, I was like, and the mother
was right behind us, they had totime it like, okay, really bad,
y'all like, and we filmed thatright out.
The director was Chris Stokes,man.
(41:56):
So we were shooting everythinglike you know, rogue and you
know, and with no permits andstuff.
So, like man, we shot thatscene late one night and his
mama slid down that hill.
That was like right next to hishouse Because we didn't have no
room room, you know, it's notlike we were in a, a forest or
(42:16):
something, it was just like a,the backyard behind their house.
Yeah, when she came down thathill, dog, that made me laugh.
So, yeah, we, we had fun, man,we had fun shooting that movie.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
It was fun that was fun, I liked it, it was better,
because I hated the third one,the third house party.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
The second one was cool, but the third one was like
, and matter of fact, that was,uh, megan Good, I want to say
one of her first movies correctand man, you know, megan Good, I
