Ever chuckled so hard that your sides ached? Well, get ready to flex those laugh muscles as Josh Gedeon, the comedic gem of the 757 scene, takes us through his leap from crafting YouTube skits to seizing the mic at Kazi's. We reminisce about the early days of viral Asian YouTubers and the art of translating digital giggles to live audience roars. Desi Banks may have made it look easy, but Josh's candid tales offer a heartwarming glimpse into the comedy grind and the unexpected turns one encounters on the road to a punchline.
Lights dimming mid-joke, the echo of silence in a church hall—sound like a comedian's nightmare? You bet. These are the battle scars we laugh about now but were the shaping forces behind my own comedy saga. Navigating the tightrope of humor, I've felt the guidance of Lionel Harris and the pull towards talents like Roe Davis and Ron Taylor. The lockdown served as comedy's chrysalis, urging us to weave authenticity into our acts, and I can't wait to share how those solitary rehearsals are making the live comebacks even sweeter.
Aspiring jokesters, lean in for a bit of wisdom wrapped in wit. The spotlight may be alluring, but it's the gritty love for the craft that'll keep your feet on stage, night after night. You'll hear how a shout-out to the relentless Josh Gedeon embodies the hustle this game demands. Keep your eyes peeled on my social channels for the next chance to catch my act live—where the laughter's fresh, the stories are real, and the camaraderie's infectious.

See if you're singing this samesong and dance.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I got a fucking live.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So, josh man, your comedian brother, how did that
start?
What made you decide to getinto comedy?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
To be honest, it's always been in the back of my
mind, like at first, what Iwanted to do is I wanted to do
YouTube videos.
You know me, I don't want to doskits, but I feel like a lot of
the YouTube sys skits that'sbeen coming out has been like
it's not the funniest you knowme.
I feel like it's not and Iwanted to be legit funny.
So I was like, how can I getfunnier?
(01:40):
Stand up.
And my uncle was also in theback of my head.
He was like, hey, man, I cansee you doing comedy, I can see
you doing it.
I was alright, you know a boom.
But after the first time I everdid come.
After the first time it wasn'tthe best in the world, but I had
one joke, that one joke thatdid good, and then that's, I was
hooked ever since.
(02:00):
That's, that's, that's, that'sall I needed.
That was all I needed.
It was insane.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You remember the first time you tried comedy?
No way you was.
It was a Kazi's or something.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, it was that Kazi's.
Yeah, I was like usually proevery week leading up to it it
was like no crowd, there's likelittle crowd and there's at
least one new comedian everytime.
You know it's like one up towatch a couple times before I
went up.
The one time I went, that shitwas packed.
I was the only new comedianthat takes first comedian ever.
(02:30):
You know, first time doingcomedy.
You know me that day it wasjust, it was like it was scary,
but it was a good time.
I had a good time definitely,man.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What Was something like you say you was gonna try
and do skits, initially like aYouTube channel, but there's
somebody that influenced youlike that you will watch like
down.
This shit is actually good.
It makes you want to fall intothose footsteps.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Like that's on YouTube wise.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, I you can't find Twitter Instagram light.
Is there an influencer?
That was like damn, I could trythis.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, I used to.
I mean, you know I'm an Asian,you know, you know YouTube, at
least in the early stages ofYouTube.
There's a lot of big Asian,there's a big Asian community.
So I used to love nigga Higa.
I don't know if you knew thatis I love Kev Jamba you know, I
mean I used to like, you know,just like, yeah, those were the
main ones that really you know.
(03:23):
I mean I used to be Enjoy themost.
You nervous big up.
I mean, you know, takes me alittle bit.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You know me, you hug me every time you see me.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
This is just a shoot the shit, like yeah, when we had
the mics and shit with eachother bro right, right, I mean
just relax man, this is natural,you know me.
I'm just, I'm no fuckingcelebrity.
This is, this is just Rome, thesame room that you see on the
open mics with you.
I mean, yeah, man, so Did youever attempt to do a skit?
(04:01):
I.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Mean, I do.
I actually have a few uploadedstill up, not the best, not the
best shit in the world, but it'sup there.
But yeah, I got a couple to sayit's in.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, I know, I did you.
I came up in the vine era, thesix seconds, so, like the vines,
a low quality camera, like thestraight Pixelated images, that
was just so fucking hilarious tosix seconds.
And then, once Instagramallowed Videos to come up and I
was like, oh okay, you sawFacebook run a while, so I get
(04:36):
it.
I like one of the people I likeBefore he became desi banks was
ambition banks.
He was ambition banks on vineand he became desi banks.
I was rocking with him a lot onvine Nat Kang Cole, that's fine
.
And then, like, the only one Irock with now that I can
(04:58):
actually see me following now is, um, it's juice key, juice key.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, but like yeah, yeah, it's insane cuz I just
heard, like to be honest, thatshit doesn't always translate,
at least on stage.
You know I'm saying, but Iheard desi banks.
He is actually was it funny?
Also on stage.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
For sure.
Yes, I think it's harder totransition, and to both realms,
even though it's the same realmin the aspect.
So, like you know, you gotcomedians that do stand up, but
they're telling jokes andstories, and then you got the
comedic actors that's doing theskits, but they just add it, not
what we saying.
So, yeah, it do translate.
(05:43):
Now I've seen some Influences.
They shit was like I like.
I was like I don't think thisis it, I don't think this is
your name, but they had thefollowing though so how has
stand up been treating you, man?
Because you've been doing itfor a year, right?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, like a year and a half, a little bit over a
year and a half, but like youknow what I mean, it's why I
love stand up.
It's like it's so.
I mean I don't know if I'vedone it for so short, but like
I'm constantly going like, ohyeah, this shit easy, I got this
.
You know what I mean.
I do it every time, but that'swhenever comedy be humbling you
(06:21):
so fast.
You know what I mean.
They be humbling me so quick,you know.
So like comedy has beentreating me like bro, it's
everything for me.
You know what I mean.
It's everything.
This is it.
You know what I mean, Like, butI'm not going to say it, it's
just like I just love how honestit is.
You know what I mean.
At the end of the day, you gotto be funny regardless, no
(06:44):
matter what, and it's just it'sbeen treating me I don't know
how to explain it, but like it'sjust been treating me good, I
guess.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, it opens up some doors for you, though,
right, yeah, 100%, you got tomeet some different people.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, and that's what I love.
It's so diverse.
You know what I mean First timeI met with one arm.
You know what I mean First timeI'm dealing.
You know what I mean First timeI'm dealing with different
individuals and characters.
And yeah, it's insane.
I think this is the most funI've ever had in my life, you
know so it's just you know,comedy is man, comedy is a
(07:20):
humble motherfuckers boy.
Yes, Tell me how that went.
You remember your worst set youever had, like your worst bomb
you ever had on the stage, yourworst, I think my worst one
because, like, my first time wasin the worst set in the world,
but the second set, right after,like I didn't even finish, you
(07:42):
know what I mean?
I didn't even make it to thelight.
I only did two jokes and I quit.
I was like God, that's all I do, I'm out.
Yeah, that was that cause aswell, and yeah, that's it was.
I was like damn, that wasn'tgood that wasn't a good set.
(08:03):
It wasn't good at all.
I wasn't getting the reactionsI wanted and it was not good,
not good.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Shit, I had some horrible sets, horrible.
I had one set where they cutthe lights off on me.
Oh wait, yeah, I took it.
It was so bad.
I apologize to the host.
I didn't do comedy for like amonth and a half.
I'm way.
Yeah, I started podcastingright after that set.
(08:31):
And then the last bomb and Ihad was January.

It was at Longboard.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No way.
Wait, wait, so wait.
What made them cut off thelights?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, so you want the whole story?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So you remember in one of my jokes when I'm like
when you I got booked at a blackchurch.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Right, it was a black church crowd.
I didn't want to put it on tothat black church.
It was a black church crowd Nowthey know a black church crowd
and you couldn't cuss.
So I was fresh, new to the game.
It was at this bar it's notthis far from my house and they
gave me five minutes.
(09:22):
At the time I thought my fiveminutes was killing.
I was still doing the same shitfrom comedy school.
So I said one day I was goingto write the jokes while I was
at the bar no rehearsal, no,nothing, no pen, just I'm like
I'm gonna do it.
And then, if they ain't working, I was like yo, I'm gonna do 85
(09:43):
South show, I'm just freestyle,some shit.
We said I bombed like they cutthe music off and the lights on
me.
I was like all right, and theworst thing about it was I had a
girl with me and Linel Harriswas there.
(10:04):
Linel was actually.
Linel was actually the reasonwhy I got back on it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh, ok, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, linel was the dude that was like help me get
back on to us.

just somebody you've seen aroundthe way, like them, just so
amazed at every time they get onthe stage they kill it.
I saw them.

the ones that you learn from.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, you got to look at they resume, right, you know
what I?
Speaker 2 (11:56):

everything with a green assault,especially from my open mics.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh, I had.
I forgot what I even know, butI had.
I can share it with anybody.
I had a dude come up to me andsay don't write your shit, don't

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I don't know what.
I don't know what's happening.
What do I do?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh bro Hello, and what do you normally write about
(15:42):
?
Yeah, how's your writing going?
What do you normally writeabout?
Hmm, you.
(17:14):
You, yeah, you got realism inyour jokes, you got a lot of
realism.
So you actually talk about shitthat you go through like the,
(17:35):
the, the yellow emperor, shit.
I think you say the otheremperor yeah, I was like this
shit actually pretty good, bro,it's actually good, you got it.
Sometimes you, yeah, sometimesyou got, oh, okay, okay, just
(18:00):
trying.
Is you, you, mm-hmm, you, formy writing it's when I first
(18:32):
thought I used to lie like hell.
They used to lie like hell whenI first thought it.
Now it's realism.
So like the jokes that I have,those are true fucking stories.
Yeah, so like a lockdown.
Lockdown was one of the besttimes for me to actually sick,
(18:54):
to fuck down and write shit out.
So I used to watch I Stillwatch it and listen to it.
Mom's Mabily right, you everheard of her?
My own Mabily is the firststand-up comedian ever.
All right, so, moms, if youlisten to her stuff, she would
(19:20):
tell stories, family dating, herlife, just anything.
Now that, okay, she vulnerableon the stage.
So I Was like, let me try somerealism.
So like some jokes that I write.
They just like either they willall of my realism, but let them
(19:40):
just like some random shit thatI may see like observational
shit.
Like I got a joke about bodywash.
I went to Target one day to getsome fucking body wash and I am
.
It made me switch over from Duhfor men what I was down to do
for women, because the men shitwas three for one, the women
(20:01):
shit it's separated, theyactually have a name of they
sent.
So I like, oh shit, what thefuck?
So I wrote that down Me gettingold.
It's true, I'm old, up to 35next year.
I'm old, they get that down.
That's what I usually do, andsometimes I'll watch a stand-up
special.
I'm like, fuck, he is talkingabout his family and I'm like,
(20:25):
all right, I got to talk aboutmy.
And then I'll listen to someshit that my mom or my aunts,
even before my dad passed, theywould tell me about my aunt,
some uncles, like all I knowpeople think I cap when I say my
aunt booty, uncle dick, that's,that's their names, that's the
nickname, that's the fuckingname.
So Mm-hmm, you have, you'll getthere, bro, you don't even
(21:08):

You know me like you'll findyour voice.
It's just, I got tired ofhearing the uh, the extra fat.

See if you're singing this samesong and dance.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I got a fucking live.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So, josh man, your comedian brother, how did that
start?
What made you decide to getinto comedy?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
To be honest, it's always been in the back of my
mind, like at first, what Iwanted to do is I wanted to do
YouTube videos.
You know me, I don't want to doskits, but I feel like a lot of
the YouTube sys skits that'sbeen coming out has been like
it's not the funniest you knowme.
I feel like it's not and Iwanted to be legit funny.
So I was like, how can I getfunnier?
(01:40):
Stand up.
And my uncle was also in theback of my head.
He was like, hey, man, I cansee you doing comedy, I can see
you doing it.
I was alright, you know a boom.
But after the first time I everdid come.
After the first time it wasn'tthe best in the world, but I had
one joke, that one joke thatdid good, and then that's, I was
hooked ever since.
(02:00):
That's, that's, that's, that'sall I needed.
That was all I needed.
It was insane.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You remember the first time you tried comedy?
No way you was.
It was a Kazi's or something.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, it was that Kazi's.
Yeah, I was like usually proevery week leading up to it it
was like no crowd, there's likelittle crowd and there's at
least one new comedian everytime.
You know it's like one up towatch a couple times before I
went up.
The one time I went, that shitwas packed.
I was the only new comedianthat takes first comedian ever.
(02:30):
You know, first time doingcomedy.
You know me that day it wasjust, it was like it was scary,
but it was a good time.
I had a good time definitely,man.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What Was something like you say you was gonna try
and do skits, initially like aYouTube channel, but there's
somebody that influenced youlike that you will watch like
down.
This shit is actually good.
It makes you want to fall intothose footsteps.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Like that's on YouTube wise.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, I you can't find Twitter Instagram light.
Is there an influencer?
That was like damn, I could trythis.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, I used to.
I mean, you know I'm an Asian,you know, you know YouTube, at
least in the early stages ofYouTube.
There's a lot of big Asian,there's a big Asian community.
So I used to love nigga Higa.
I don't know if you knew thatis I love Kev Jamba you know, I
mean I used to like, you know,just like, yeah, those were the
main ones that really you know.
(03:23):
I mean I used to be Enjoy themost.
You nervous big up.
I mean, you know, takes me alittle bit.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You know me, you hug me every time you see me.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
This is just a shoot the shit, like yeah, when we had
the mics and shit with eachother bro right, right, I mean
just relax man, this is natural,you know me.
I'm just, I'm no fuckingcelebrity.
This is, this is just Rome, thesame room that you see on the
open mics with you.
I mean, yeah, man, so Did youever attempt to do a skit?
(04:01):
I.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Mean, I do.
I actually have a few uploadedstill up, not the best, not the
best shit in the world, but it'sup there.
But yeah, I got a couple to sayit's in.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, I know, I did you.
I came up in the vine era, thesix seconds, so, like the vines,
a low quality camera, like thestraight Pixelated images, that
was just so fucking hilarious tosix seconds.
And then, once Instagramallowed Videos to come up and I
was like, oh okay, you sawFacebook run a while, so I get
(04:36):
it.
I like one of the people I likeBefore he became desi banks was
ambition banks.
He was ambition banks on vineand he became desi banks.
I was rocking with him a lot onvine Nat Kang Cole, that's fine
.
And then, like, the only one Irock with now that I can
(04:58):
actually see me following now is, um, it's juice key, juice key.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, but like yeah, yeah, it's insane cuz I just
heard, like to be honest, thatshit doesn't always translate,
at least on stage.
You know I'm saying, but Iheard desi banks.
He is actually was it funny?
Also on stage.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
For sure.
Yes, I think it's harder totransition, and to both realms,
even though it's the same realmin the aspect.
So, like you know, you gotcomedians that do stand up, but
they're telling jokes andstories, and then you got the
comedic actors that's doing theskits, but they just add it, not
what we saying.
So, yeah, it do translate.
(05:43):
Now I've seen some Influences.
They shit was like I like.
I was like I don't think thisis it, I don't think this is
your name, but they had thefollowing though so how has
stand up been treating you, man?
Because you've been doing itfor a year, right?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, like a year and a half, a little bit over a
year and a half, but like youknow what I mean, it's why I
love stand up.
It's like it's so.
I mean I don't know if I'vedone it for so short, but like
I'm constantly going like, ohyeah, this shit easy, I got this
.
You know what I mean.
I do it every time, but that'swhenever comedy be humbling you
(06:21):
so fast.
You know what I mean.
They be humbling me so quick,you know.
So like comedy has beentreating me like bro, it's
everything for me.
You know what I mean.
It's everything.
This is it.
You know what I mean, Like, butI'm not going to say it, it's
just like I just love how honestit is.
You know what I mean.
At the end of the day, you gotto be funny regardless, no
(06:44):
matter what, and it's just it'sbeen treating me I don't know
how to explain it, but like it'sjust been treating me good, I
guess.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, it opens up some doors for you, though,
right, yeah, 100%, you got tomeet some different people.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, and that's what I love.
It's so diverse.
You know what I mean First timeI met with one arm.
You know what I mean First timeI'm dealing.
You know what I mean First timeI'm dealing with different
individuals and characters.
And yeah, it's insane.
I think this is the most funI've ever had in my life, you
know so it's just you know,comedy is man, comedy is a
(07:20):
humble motherfuckers boy.
Yes, Tell me how that went.
You remember your worst set youever had, like your worst bomb
you ever had on the stage, yourworst, I think my worst one
because, like, my first time wasin the worst set in the world,
but the second set, right after,like I didn't even finish, you
(07:42):
know what I mean?
I didn't even make it to thelight.
I only did two jokes and I quit.
I was like God, that's all I do, I'm out.
Yeah, that was that cause aswell, and yeah, that's it was.
I was like damn, that wasn'tgood that wasn't a good set.
(08:03):
It wasn't good at all.
I wasn't getting the reactionsI wanted and it was not good,
not good.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Shit, I had some horrible sets, horrible.
I had one set where they cutthe lights off on me.
Oh wait, yeah, I took it.
It was so bad.
I apologize to the host.
I didn't do comedy for like amonth and a half.
I'm way.
Yeah, I started podcastingright after that set.
(08:31):
And then the last bomb and Ihad was January.
It was this past January.
It was at Longboard.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No way.
Wait, wait, so wait.
What made them cut off thelights?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, so you want the whole story?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So you remember in one of my jokes when I'm like
when you I got booked at a blackchurch.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Right, it was a black church crowd.
I didn't want to put it on tothat black church.
It was a black church crowd Nowthey know a black church crowd
and you couldn't cuss.
So I was fresh, new to the game.
It was at this bar it's notthis far from my house and they
gave me five minutes.
(09:22):
At the time I thought my fiveminutes was killing.
I was still doing the same shitfrom comedy school.
So I said one day I was goingto write the jokes while I was
at the bar no rehearsal, no,nothing, no pen, just I'm like
I'm gonna do it.
And then, if they ain't working, I was like yo, I'm gonna do 85
(09:43):
South show, I'm just freestyle,some shit.
We said I bombed like they cutthe music off and the lights on
me.
I was like all right, and theworst thing about it was I had a
girl with me and Linel Harriswas there.
(10:04):
Linel was actually.
Linel was actually the reasonwhy I got back on it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh, ok, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, linel was the dude that was like help me get
back on to us.
So yeah, it was.
It was bad and I used to be aclean Christian comedy when I
first started and then obviouslynot no more.
I love it.
No man, is there been anybodythat you've worked with or want
(10:30):
to work with since you've beenin comedy?
He got it and it could be likea big name or it could be like
just somebody you've seen aroundthe way, like them, just so
amazed at every time they get onthe stage they kill it.
I saw them.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Of course, Roe Davis, you know.
But I definitely want to workwith Linel Harris.
Linel Harris, I don't know, Ijust want.
I just like he did.
He has so much he could.
I could learn from him, youknow.
And plus, he's reachable.
You know what I mean.
I got his number.
Yeah, I want to get LinelHarris on a bigger scale.
Oh, I don't know.
(11:09):
I mean, like a lot of people,do you come to me?
He's actually like a reallyfunny.
I really like I don't know whoRalph Barbosa is.
I really like Ralph Barbosa.
There's this guy.
His name is fuck.
What's his name?
Ron Ron.
Ron Taylor Black out with afriend.
Yeah, black out with a friendyeah, I think he's hilarious,
(11:30):
but, like you know, yeah, thisis the name of a few I just yeah
, I just yeah.
All you want to do is just anylearn.
That's all I'm trying to do.
Anyone could learn from, andthat's it's we have to learn
from anybody at this point, butyeah just like be careful from
the ones that you learn from.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, you got to look at they resume, right, you know
what I?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
mean, that was one of the first advice I got to take
everything with a green assault,especially from my open mics.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh, I had.
I forgot what I even know, butI had.
I can share it with anybody.
I had a dude come up to me andsay don't write your shit, don't
write down nothing, just go upthere and just talk shit.
What do I got to talk shit.
I see funny boy.
We used to go to long, soeverybody went to the car.
(12:31):
I started going to long shots.
This was when certain somebodywas running at Mike.
I used to go.
So I went.
I met this dude.
He was telling me the samething Don't write your shit, let
your nuts hang.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Cool, I did.
It Got the lights cut off forme.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
No way oh no.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So then what's the?
What happened?
We funny bonus do open mic onWednesday.
This is how I met Joe Paulofunny bonus.
I met Joe Paulo funny bonus, soyou will see the who of comedy
(13:25):
in this open mic Right thesepart low Tory hugins before he
moved Bunch of the cars youfolks that couldn't get in and I
was like but cool, you knowwhat I'm saying.
And he did.
The same dude came up to me.
No, josh, you froze babe.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I don't know what.
I don't know what's happening.
What do I do?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh bro Hello, and what do you normally write about
(15:42):
?
Yeah, how's your writing going?
What do you normally writeabout?
Hmm, you.
(17:14):
You, yeah, you got realism inyour jokes, you got a lot of
realism.
So you actually talk about shitthat you go through like the,
(17:35):
the, the yellow emperor, shit.
I think you say the otheremperor yeah, I was like this
shit actually pretty good, bro,it's actually good, you got it.
Sometimes you, yeah, sometimesyou got, oh, okay, okay, just
(18:00):
trying.
Is you, you, mm-hmm, you, formy writing it's when I first
(18:32):
thought I used to lie like hell.
They used to lie like hell whenI first thought it.
Now it's realism.
So like the jokes that I have,those are true fucking stories.
Yeah, so like a lockdown.
Lockdown was one of the besttimes for me to actually sick,
(18:54):
to fuck down and write shit out.
So I used to watch I Stillwatch it and listen to it.
Mom's Mabily right, you everheard of her?
My own Mabily is the firststand-up comedian ever.
All right, so, moms, if youlisten to her stuff, she would
(19:20):
tell stories, family dating, herlife, just anything.
Now that, okay, she vulnerableon the stage.
So I Was like, let me try somerealism.
So like some jokes that I write.
They just like either they willall of my realism, but let them
(19:40):
just like some random shit thatI may see like observational
shit.
Like I got a joke about bodywash.
I went to Target one day to getsome fucking body wash and I am
.
It made me switch over from Duhfor men what I was down to do
for women, because the men shitwas three for one, the women
(20:01):
shit it's separated, theyactually have a name of they
sent.
So I like, oh shit, what thefuck?
So I wrote that down Me gettingold.
It's true, I'm old, up to 35next year.
I'm old, they get that down.
That's what I usually do, andsometimes I'll watch a stand-up
special.
I'm like, fuck, he is talkingabout his family and I'm like,
(20:25):
all right, I got to talk aboutmy.
And then I'll listen to someshit that my mom or my aunts,
even before my dad passed, theywould tell me about my aunt,
some uncles, like all I knowpeople think I cap when I say my
aunt booty, uncle dick, that's,that's their names, that's the
nickname, that's the fuckingname.
So Mm-hmm, you have, you'll getthere, bro, you don't even
(21:08):
doing it a year and a half.
You know me like you'll findyour voice.
It's just, I got tired ofhearing the uh, the extra fat.
I got tired of writing aboutwith the extra fat and the over
exaggeration, like it's just.
That's just what I pride myselfon.
I tell you this because Iswitched up my writing styles.
(21:28):
I am more miserable after anopen mic.
I know that sounds crazy.
I See like I'm digging intosome shit that I shouldn't even
breathe.
Did a set about my dad's funeral.
They have him back in Septemberand I was like, yeah, I was in
