big shout out there by.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh they're wonderful. Look.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
George Wallace was here yesterday. And he's at the Funny
Bone this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
To that dude he is.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
You know him, I know him well. George Wallas is crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So I talked to him.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
Monday and he were just randomly talking and I said, yeah,
so I'm in Orlando this weekend and he said he
cuts me out and said that's why my tickets are
going you go.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
He was in yesterday Stadium for a long time. What
a wonderful guy.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Man, he's fantastic. You know. He has a Christmas tree
up in his house year round.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Doesn't really I'm doing a year round. He's gonna ask
me how I know about this Christmas. I've been knowing
George Wallas about ten years and every time we talked
here at the end of he was like, now what's
your name again?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I say, hey, man, I'm not gonna let you gass like.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He's one of those guys that as soon as he
enters the room, just like it lights.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
A likable dude.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, very likable man.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
I've been loving George Wallace a long time and to
get a chance to meet him. I met him officially
when we were doing a tribute to Robert Townsend and
he he opened up the room. Then Bill Bellen was hosting,
and then I was I was next, and they said, hey,
are you ready.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm like, man, I'm better than both of them.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Like, no, you're not better than me. I'm like you listening.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And George Walls one of those guys when you see
me like, oh my god, he's a legend. But for
whatever reason, like people don't usually bring him up that often.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I do?
Speaker 7 (02:33):
That's that's people who really not engulfed in comedy. It's
kind of like when people in hip hop start talking
about your favorite rappers. If you start with Biggie A Tupac,
I'm like, Okay, you don't know much.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You don't talk about you don't know much at all.
You know at what I watched yesterday? Was I watched
that there's Eddie Murphy. Yeah, I watched Eddie.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
What did you think about that?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I thought that was great?
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Man, Eddie did a fan They did a fantastic job
with Eddie store. You know, he's definitely been a staple
in comedy, an icon.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
May me love it more? Like I've always you know,
I grew up with Eddie mur Murphy. Raw, I mean
for goodness sake, you know, as a kid, that was
the great and maybe even like it more watching the documentary.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, the documentary was great.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Man to see all those movies that he's done, and
he made he made a great point that he's done
a lot of movies, different ranges and still has never
received styles an Oscar, And so that that gives me,
you know, a lot of hope. I've done a lot
of different specials, a lot of different ranges and still
having received, you know, a Comedy Award, And I'm like,
(03:32):
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Eddie Murphy didn't get an oscar. Something good?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do you do.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You feel like?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do do you feel like Eddie Murphy did open it
up for?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Because I was really it was really interesting to see
Dave Chappelle say, listen, everyone else says, you know Richard Pryor.
I didn't really know much about Richard Pryor. For me,
it was Eddie Murphy. Uh did you connect with that?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I did you know?
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Because sometimes that's era, you know, people always say Richard
and not really know Richard's material, not really know the
essence to him. The cursing wasn't what Richard was about.
And even even more so than Richard is Cosby for me?
You know, it's always been Cosby, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Is that weird to say that now, knowing what we
know about Cosby? No, not at all about the comedy.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
I'm talking about the com I'm not talking about his
personal life. I'm talking about what he his contributions to comedy,
you know, just like I don't say, you know, Elvis
his contributions to the rock that has nothing to do
with his personal life, right, you know I agree with
you on that. Yeah, I separate the two.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
People can't do that. But but but I do as well.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I try. But Michael Jackson has too good a songs?
Speaker 9 (04:42):
What about Kelly?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And still Michael Jackson wasn't proven.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Until people give me something that's solid, I'm not with it. Yeah, yeah,
because in my mind, I'm still thinking Michael Jackson's the
most popular person in the world. He couldn't have been
molested some kid in the hospital. What do he moon
walked past the nursing state? Many do you find that that?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
White comics will say, oh, George Colin, George, uh, George Carland,
and then black comics will say, Richard pryor do you
do you find it is a distinction like that.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
And I think most comics put them in order the
right the right order, because when it comes to stories
that and then there were two different types of comedy, right,
and when we go to storytelling, the top is Cosby,
then next is Carlin. I'm saying, then you have everybody
else that falls up under that, you know, So when
(05:34):
it comes to that, I don't think I think unknoledgeable
comics split the two up, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, so they
got to know a lot about comedy.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you feel to be to be a great comic,
it's important to study the people that came before you.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is that important?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
I think if you want to be a successful person,
you know, and you want to give something to the
craft other than slapstick, because a lot of these people
they're unfortunate and they comedy won't last over time. It won't,
it won't age. Well, It's kind of like people's music today.
I'm not I can be sixty listening to rock Heilm,
(06:10):
but I don't think you're gonna be listening to laughing Taffy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
That's one thing though, Like I was thinking that comedy
will always be of its time, that a sense so
imagine you're not somebody who's like worries about like somebody
you say pop up in twenty years and be like, oh,
that's too far because like in twenty twenty five, No,
that was funny.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's okay, move on.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I think that once. That's with your regular stand up.
If you're doing a special, a special, shit should last
the test of time. You know, I could watch Cosby
himself today and laugh and and it's relevant. I could
watch Live from some Says strip today and it's relevant.
I can watch Carling in this relevant. It's like, what
(06:53):
are you that's about studying the craft. If you're gonna
study the craft, then you'll know. Let's not put an
Obama joke in my special. Yeah, you know, let's not
put a Trump joke in my in my special because
that's not special. That's what an open Micah could get
on stage and say something that's in the news.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Now.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You had a really good joke though, where you're like,
you're like, man, that is a really good joke. But
you think about it that way, you're like, but that's
not timeless. I'm not putting that in the special. If
you have you struggle with that.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, cause I don't do jokes. I do stories.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Stories, so see, and storytellers for me anyways, are infinitely
more entertaining than joke joke machines.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Right, Like a joke.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Machine, I feel like I'm being fired at a storyteller,
like I'm in it, and I'm with you, and I'm
following you, and I like like we're going on a
journey together.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
And that's the difference between studying the craft and not
in the special. If somebody watched My My Two Sons,
it's about me and my two sons, you know, and
it's it's gonna always be that no matter how my
songs get, that still happen. If you watch Domino Effake,
Domino Effect is a is a walk through my life
from ten to twenty five. So that's why it's four parts.
(08:04):
So I don't think that will ever go out, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And storytelling probably is the reason why you'll be at
the Doctor Phillips Center, because that is more I mean
saying highbrow.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Is that is that a disc By saying it's hybrow.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You're not doing jokes at Yeah, because because.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I was curiously like when you came to Orland, You're like,
did you say, hey, I want to be at the
doctor Phillips Center or did they hire you?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like, how does that work?
Speaker 7 (08:29):
The promotion company which is out back, which is great.
They all out back promotions. They put together the routing
of where while I'm going to ask me, you know,
do I want to play this?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Did? And I'm like yeah? Cool? We go on on availability?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
How long is this tour for you?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A hundred cities?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh my god, my gosh.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
We almost done and we'll be done December thirty first,
oh Man in Houston, which is great. I don't have
to go anywhere. That week home for you, right yeah, yeah,
that's home.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But you're going through the holidays? Is that tough for
your family life?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
They used to it used to Yeah, they used to
be going through it. You know, I'm not home for.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
When did you start? When you start stand up comedy?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
December fourth, nineteen ninety seven, ninety seven some time?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, twenty eight years.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You seem to take the craft like so seriously. I
can tell that about you right out of the gay
and my first introduction to you was.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
On an episode of Kill Tony.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
To be honest with you, Oh wow, is it hard
for is it like when you sit there and you watch,
like because it's an open mic show and it's a
lot of people kind of doing like they're all very
new doing very new material.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Is that hard for you to watch? Is it nails
on a chalkboard?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Or do you do?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
You do?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You sit there and like appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I don't have any judgment of them. I know that
they knew, so I'm just like, Okay, that's what you know,
because everybody started somewhere. But you say kill Tony's So
that's in the last three two that's in the last
two years.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you way late.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean I sound about about ten years eight. Ten
years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
I stopped following comedy because I just stand up conning myself.
But I kept I used to love watching stand up comedy,
but I kept feeling like I was going to like
lift from people that are like subconsciously, and I started
watching it in a different way. So I just kind of
turned off my like love for comedy in a way.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Wow, Yeah, he's a weirdo. Y.

VIP package information as well there.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So you know, I know that you've been doing stand
up comedy for some time. I didn't realize that you
had done radio for three years of radio? So were
you mornings or afternoons or.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
After I was the afternoon drive. The crazy thing.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I did radio in Shreveport, Louisiana K one oh four.
That was the first time. Yeah, and I was the
sports person, Oh really, And I hated it. So no comedy,
You couldn't be funny or anything. Just you know, I
just talked about the sport. You know, made that funny.
But I hated it, and then you know, I stopped
doing it, and then I went to Houston start doing
(12:08):
stand up during the pandemic. They hired me to do
radio for Magic one O two in Houston Radio one
so I get on. My co host is like an icon,
you know, Texas Radio Hall of Fame. I've been listening
to it for thirty five year, Funky Larry Jones, and
we doing the radio and I think, man, like year three,
(12:31):
I hated it. You hate it because they brought somebody
into dude the analytics of the station that that's from
somewhere else, don't know the culture changing the music, and
it was like, yo, maybe who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And we never met him?
Speaker 7 (12:49):
And our music started getting different and I just hated it.
And I remember they they fired me on like a Thursday, right,
it was weird.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
They brought in a new pro Gram director.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Let you do your shift or that they or they
did it before your show.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I was out of town.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
So we had a great PD, Terry Thomas, and then
we they switched the PD. So I went to the
new PD meeting whatever, and then that Thursday they fired me.
And I'm such a jerk that he called us like, hey,
we're not moving forward your contract.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You got any you got any questions? I'm like no.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
And then I went on Instagram and I walked out
my room and I had my phone. I was like, oh,
I'm so distraught they fired me today from radio.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't know. I have no idea what I'm going
to do with my life now.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
And I was in Chicago and as I kept walking
and I just kept panning up and then it said
Chicago Theater sold out.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was like, oh, I'm so distraught.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, he sure of had a backup thing. A weird thing. Man.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
My salary was like way lower than what I make
on the weekend per show, Like I'm gonna make triple
my salary tonight and I'm gonna make triple my salary tomorrow.
And I was making man, I was making like one
hundred k a weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Like I wasn't concerned about radio.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, yeah, yeah it's twnny way we learned yesterday George
Wallace did radio.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Like a lot of stand up guys do. We'll do
it for some time.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Hey, talking about you know you're traveling now, you know,
over one hundred shows this year or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Have you ever thought.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
About And I'm thinking about George Wallace yesterday he did
Vegas for like fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Is that something you would ever consider?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You get to a particular point where a residency look
on your face.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Man, they asked me to do one for the Virgin
Oh wow, you know in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So I come there. I think it's twice a year now,
but I don't know. You got the same city like
all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Like I think people get caught up out there.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
A lot of tourists though, so a lot of people
coming through. You just don't have to move. They're coming
to you.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
And what's crazy is my audience is sixty percent of
the residents in town. And they was like, we've never
had that before. It's like the only other person was
George Wallace and people would come out of town to
see him. Yeah, it would be it was like fifty
to fifty min was like sixty forty, and I was like,
I could, you know, look at it. But I don't
(15:22):
want to stand Vegas. That's the problem. I don't want
to stay in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Are you a gambler? Are you a sports guy? Are
you a gambler? I no, No, I don't.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I don't bet on anything that I don't have any
control over. I'll be a smart man. I bet on me,
but not I don't know if they gonna catch that
pass or not. I'm cool.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, who's your who's your who's your team?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Who's your giants?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Giants?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Okay, yeah, I'll suffer with the Giant. I'm suffering with
the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I get it out. I'll definitely.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
It's a lady that she works for the airline and
I fly the same airline pretty much all the time.
So we come through the airport and she's a Dallas
Cowboy fan and she can't wait to see me when
they win, but then she hides when they lose, and
it's like yeah, yeah, but the Giants were just up
and down.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Man, you new quarterback though.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Too bad that he's hurt, but that's a that's a
you know, there's a possibility.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
There it is, but he hurts, so we don't We
don't really know what he got. We just gave away
our running back to Philly. Philly should they should shed
US championship with us.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Said, you're a sports guy and you did sports, you know,
radio and stuff. What do you think about, like a
gambling being such a big part of sports now, like
you know with fan duel and they're advertising it's like
infested with sports good or bad thing.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I think gambling has always been a part, you know,
whether you know it's legal or illegal. But now it's
that's all they pushing is gambling. I think the sports
have gone down and the gambling has gone up. Right,
it's all about gambling. We only playing these games so
people can gamble exactly. Fantasy Fantasy football is crazy, like people, really,
(17:06):
this is the real They might as well be coaches
the way that they draft.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
How serious I take it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
They're not even having fun like watching the game anymore.
That's the thing that's as gambling myself, like that I'm
not having fun while I'm doing it because i'm whatever
the point spread is or whether I have like on
certain passes and whatnot, and it's just not enjoyable anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And I've lost a lot of money too.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You have.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Picked well, no, no, no, I like to I like
to think that I'm good at it, but then, like
you know, you can see your stats over time and
it's not it's not been great.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's not been great.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
So you didn't even watch on show. This is not happening.
I'm confused that you just stopped watching comedy.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's so much my mind.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Won't let me get away with it about it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But you didn't watch.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I only just learned who Ari Shafir Wasy recently as
you gave.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Up on comedy.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
He was like, yo, not doing it, don't want to
watch it, don't want to see it?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yo, who's out there?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
So you can watch like you can watch other people's
specials and just enjoy them without looking at him and
breaking them down and like being like this, this is
why he moves this way and that way.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
The problem with me watching now is that because on
my YouTube channel, I have launched other comedians. You know,
I shot Marcus d Wildie special, He's doing great. We
just shot his second special. I released Ryan Davis's special,
He's doing great. Then I released an old patriseo O'Neil special.
Now I'm getting ready to release Sidney Castillo and Malik
(18:38):
s and another lady once we finished shooting her special.
So I have to watch and now understand the industry
a little more because I have a lot of people special.
And I balled up my hat and thrown it out
the room several times because they so bad. Like I'm like,
(19:00):
and I have to call as a comic and a
friend and say and with my producer had on, hey man,
this is not it, and they get upset, and I'm like, well,
we's shop into another network and see what they say.
And if you respect what they say, don't get mad
at me, because I guarantee you I'm gonna say this.
It hasn't been anybody special who's got picked up once
(19:23):
I said that it wasn't good because.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
So if you shoot it to me before you shot it,
then we could adjust it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
We can fix it.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
But if it's already shot and then you want me
to distribute it, I can't do it because it's some
parts that's missing. It's bad to me. So and I'm
only doing what with my company. It's like this, it's
five of us, all five people have to agree. You
can't get one of the four, you can't get four,
(19:53):
you have to get all five.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And that's even with my owns. I'm putting you through
the same ring that I put myself.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I've put things on the table and I'm sitting back
and watched them like, no.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That don't work.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
That don't work.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
And I did it, and they know how I understand
about it. I say one, I put this special out
here to see how honest y'all were. Where y'all just
blowing smoke or where y'all going? Because I'm the boss.
What I'm saying are you're gonna just be out something
you think it's bad.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Missing something, it's missing so many layers.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'm like, so what do you think?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Like? No, I'm like, good, quantified, Like what it is
that's missing?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Can you put it into words?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Or is it just like you you're feeling a vibe
and it's off and you just know because you've been
doing it for so long.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
For it to be a special.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I can't listen to anything that an open micer would say.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If your special has anything that an open.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Mic person would say, or that's dated, I'm not it's
it's not special, it's just a show.
Speaker 4 (20:59):

The Mantra the morning. Hey, welcome back to the Mantras.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Mornings were already on one on four point one broadcasting
live and iHeartRadio I Brush Rollins along with Angel and
Ryan and Savannah all here today and this is something
that Angel has set up. Hey, Wes, couldn't you get
there near the microphone? Buddy, Well, we're gonna talk to
you a little bit and we'll let you set up here.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh look at that. He's got professional.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Stuff, he said, he said before he starts talking. He
said in the in the break room that I could use.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
The razor on the underneath of your crowd.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, my ass I learned during Cinco Demayo about trusting
you about anything, he said.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He said, your hands are built for a straight razor.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Yeah, you could probably do a good job on Russ's gobblin.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, but you don't know Wes, is that that we did.
We did a bit.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Where she was where she was supposed to the water
in my face and slap.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Me right right right.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
But it was his idea.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But she hit me.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So hard I was I broke my ear drum and
I was deaf for two months. So yeah, no, no
more trust in Savannah with anything around my throat for sure.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Wes, how you doing, buddy, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Wonderful scene you hear so Angel set this up. Let
me explain what's going on, just so you know. So
for years, like I never I always like, I don't
want to draw. I don't want to grow a beard.
I don't think I look good with a beard. I
don't like a beard. It gets gray. It makes me
look old. I'm already old enough as it is. And
and Ryan somehow talked me into the first of October.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You said you want to do no shave November because
you got a wedding.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You gotta go right right.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
My son's wedding is tomorrow, U and I and I
said on the first of October, well, I'll shave it
by then, but then after I let it grow, a
lot of people are like, it looks better you look.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Good with a little but it's not. It's not shaped
or whatever like, so ain'els not.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Taking care of it. He just let this thing grow out,
willing nearly like you're supposed to when you're first growing
it out. You let it, you know, do its thing.
And it's been two months of this.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, so a grown man. This is all I got.
So they're not a whole lot of testosteron here, I
guess or whatever.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Got a wedding to go to this weekend, and I
was like, listen, dude, the thing that will make it
pop is how you got to get it shaped, got
it cut, cleaned up, got to clean your neck, all
these things. And he's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah? Is that what you do? Wes? It is man?
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You know, like you don't have the struggle where you
had the patches.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Right, yeah, patches, but I do. He got the gray
stuff there. So I tell you what I did do
a couple of weeks ago is I did get some
of that die stuff and I died it and my
wife was so upset and she's like, he looks stupid.
I do not ever do that again. So that's all
washed out and gone. So no dying I guess gray.
I guess from what I understand, ladies like the gray.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
True.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I mean, I mean, I know my wife loves the gray.
I'd tell you that, but you know it's a little
distinguishment that comes along with the gray.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah for sure, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Okay, So someone like like Ryan or or Angel, can
you can you shape their bear like I'm thinking maybe
you should do Ryan first.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Oh, buddy, you go first. You're the You're the reason
that we're doing all of this. Ryan's his will be easy.
This is the first time for you, getting you tightened
up and everything. So again, I'm not skar bitting here.
This is a serious thing. You got your kids wedding
and everything, so this is serious stuff to me. So
I trust Wes. Uh trust him over there, hammred Nails
(25:36):
in winter Garden and uh yeah, this is a good thing.
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, my son's wedding is tomorrow. Actually Angel is the
DJ at the wedding. Uh and of course the father
father of the groom. You know, I got to looked good.
Uh So so what is it you would suggest for this?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Uh? This like freshly grown beard.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I mean, I mean, the suggestions are quite easy.
Speaker 10 (25:58):
Is you know what your wife once and then you
live with it, right, So.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's all that's all you got.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
So in that instance, if you're like West, he's taking
down a little bit, I can do that for you.
If you say, Wes, I want to grow it out,
I can do that a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
You know.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
The the most fun part is is that when you
get your beard done and you go shopping, you get
trying to take.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Advantage of those bogos.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
You want to look good, You want everybody to stare
at you. That's the whole goal. So however you want it,
that's what we're here for. That's how we want to
get it done for you.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Brother, What are you doing when you go to get
your your beard?
Speaker 6 (26:29):
So I was telling Wes, is that for you?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Cleaning it up the neck, getting the neck line there,
cleaning it up around the mustache line and everything. So
you got to understand, uh, Wes, what you're dealing with?
What kind of animal you're dealing with?
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Right here?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Right?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
This guy he's a he's a fan. He thinks that
he can give himself his own haircuts. I do, yeah, yeah,
so he do all the time. He uses the flob
and he does all that, right, So what so what
I'm sorry, just yelled Jesus. So what I'm doing to
teach this savage? Just just just starting with the beard,
just to stap up and what the feeling it gives
(27:02):
a man to get your beard all cleaned and it's
all you have to do. Just clean him up, make
it look you know, sharp for photographs and everything, and
what that feeling is, you know, and how and how
that makes it makes it pop even more. That's all.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, man, there's nothing
worse than realizing you're missing out, all right, and when
you do it yourself right, you know, and then somebody
else does and.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
They're like, what happened to your face?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
You know, like when you got the phaser, you know,
like you got the burns and all the rest of
that stuff. I mean, you know, stop trusting yourself. Man,
you don't just hire us, but we'll do.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
We're not going to suggest for Savannah to cut anything
on me, right, I mean, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Like she told you a different story other than what
we were talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's what I thought. She will cut my throat.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
On everything.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
So I don't want to be an accessory to murder.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
That's really what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, no, but.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Where'd she go?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Her guess is here, so you can't. We're waiting at
the door, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
So you guys, okay, so you're ready, go.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Ahead and started there, Ryn and I will jump in
here and be over here.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Yeah. Well I need is a chair for you to
you know, to sit in.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
And while they're getting that all that set up, I
just want to give you guys a heads up again.
This is Hammer and Nail West is from the location
there in Winter Garden, and they got a special going
on book any service except for the waxing guys and
get a complimentary premium cut. All you got to do
is make sure that you mentioned when you're booking this
one oh four point one radio promo and the offer
is valid now through November the thirtieth. Again, that's Hammer
(28:33):
and Nails. It's the Winter Garden location, and if you
book any of the services outside of the waxing, you
can get a premium cut. You got to make sure
that you mentioned one to four point one radio promo
and that's a valid right now through November the thirtieth.
I think you can actually request Wes specifically, but just
(28:54):
book any other services and you can get that premium cut.
You think, Russ Russ, this is gonna be drive Russnus,
isn't it. Oh yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
First of all, he's not sitting in his rust seat
I've never seen ever before. And he's, uh, he's getting
this done now. He said, he's he's got his beard
ship shaped shaved before a long time ago by Broadway. Jo.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yeah, so, and that's not what we're doing here. We're
just gonna clean him up and shave and you know,
do the neck line andever.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
You know you don't like you you you're very good
at rocking your beard. You because you have an angle
to your face that like compliments your face.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
They don't hear me, right? The only reason I I
got to give all the props to my man Tetho,
you know. And Rush wasn't ready for the Tito treatment.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
No he's not, No, he's not.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
And I I do my beard because I have don't
have a jaw line. So that's why I keep it
like this. It's it's like man makeup. I always look
at my beard. Russ's turn the lights up.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Oh yeah, he needs the light to be able to
see to ligne him up. And you guys can watch
this on real radio or on our website.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, everybody can see everything. But yeah, this is
the greatest idea you've ever had, Agel.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
And he'll take care of you after I wanted to
make sure we got rustling.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I've seen, like, you know, TV shows were like high
power business people do this.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
You know again, this is one of those things. And ladies,
with the holidays coming up and and and you're if
you're always thinking about this or you want you want
your man to kind of uh step into the into
the moment. One of the coolest things to do is
give one of these services as a gift. Hammer Nails
is Off. You know, they have a bunch of different
(30:38):
gift cards or gift certificates that you can get through
the website and offer that for your man. And like
when you went to Europe and you did. I was
telling my man about this the other day. I always
talk about it when we're talking about this. You went
to the guy that did that burned that used to
fire on your ears. That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I know he wasn't like I looked that dude up
when I went back to Germany again and he wasn't
working that day, and.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I was like, okay, well I'll skip it this time.
But like I enjoy it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Like I get why ladies, you know, they go to
the spa or like they get their nails done or whatever,
because the same time, all like making you look better
and also just like it's a very relaxing, chill experience
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah, unless you like.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Go to that barbershop where they like talking ass is
a sport.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well, there's that type of barbershop experience, right, and then
there's one, like you know, there's the other one. There's
also the barbershop experience where every guy in there they're
a super maximum tough dude. And then there's the barbershop
like you know, the one that I go to or
you know, like how I hammer nails is where it's relaxed, chill,
they got the sports going on. They have a full
(31:42):
almost completely full bar, you know, and they offer all
the different services. I do think how exhaustible you think
Russ is losing his mind right now?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I don't know. Russ sits very still.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
I I gotta give him that, he like sits like
a statue. He would have done well if an oil
painting in eighteen twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
He said he doesn't want to he doesn't want it
to mess it up.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That's what Yeah, just looked regal right now.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah, I speaking of like like being the you know,
the tough guy that goes to the barber. Like I
was thinking about, like how exhausting it must be to
act like a tough guy all the time. I got
some of these dudes at my gym. I got some
of these dudes as I as I go throughout my day,
you know, like and they're they're guy that's like I
wouldn't There's no way I'd even wear that color.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
And one of the channels I follow weirdly on on
like Instagram or whatever, TikTok is like it's guys that
have been in jail explaining like things not to do
in jail, you know, and it's it's it's I look
at it because they're they're they're there, big tough guys
tat it up right, and then and then they're like, Okay,
(32:50):
it's some of the stuff is so specifically Okay, when
you ship down and eat your food in jail, right
when you get up, you knock on the table before
you before you get up, you give it a knock.
And then guy's like, why would you give it a knock.
He's like, it's just a.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Son of respect.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
You knock the table, you get up, and then you go.
If you don't knock, that's disrespectful. And the guy's like, okay.
So it's like he's just said. He goes all right,
so like this and he knocks on the table and
he goes see you later and he points and.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Are you pointing?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
That's that's how you that's how you become somebody's bitch pointing.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
I had to go get our guests.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Yeah, and I didn't realize you guys were in here
talking about Russ and he doesn't have access to a microphone.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Noh no, no, yeah, he's I know, he's completely losing it.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
My god, Oh hang on, Oh you're gonna sit in chair?
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Oh no, oh my god? Why are your headphones so loud?
Speaker 5 (33:48):

Speaker 5 (34:21):
That much different was doing O rock than doing this.
I mean like I enjoyed O rock at the station
where I was when I was young, and it was around.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
It was fun.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It was fun.
Speaker 9 (34:31):

and the skate parks and the and the all the
little subculture events everywhere.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
We had a lot of fun.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
Mel Taylor was over there with me and like wherever
we went, you know how like you know how like
all the shows on this station kind of don't hang
out with each other, Like the Cold Bear Show doesn't
hang out with the monsters, and then you know stuff
like that like that, that's was like the little station
that could. Everybody was friends and everybody went to everybody's event.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
What did the DJs do?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Like because it's the you know, we talked and we
talked for five hours. It's talking on during a song
what are those guys doing.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Programming due it jamming out?
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Yeah, so your voice tracking, your voice tracking your your
next break, all that kind of stuff. So Larry look
at that.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
See yeah, all the turkey neck.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
I called it a golfer earlier and.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
It's a it's a goozle.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Oh wow, it looks so much better. It looks so good.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
Yeah, so we got West here from Hammer and Nails again.
That's what the Winter Garden location. He's cleaning up Russ's face.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
And uh, like, honestly, how are you guys? When Russ's
beard first started coming in.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
Like it, I thought it looked really weird, like kind
of mangy, But it looks really good now.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
It looks really nice now.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yeah, because like like I can grow a beard and
like just by thinking about it, you know what I mean, Like,
it doesn't take long. I'll have I could have a
My beard would be down here in a month.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
If are they gonna trim you up?
Speaker 6 (36:13):
You did have that beard?
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Well, I had down on my nipples and then my
wife made me.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
He'll get Ryan cleaned up during the break.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
But it's not really a hair person. Like I don't
like hair at all. I'm very fortunate that I don't
have a lot of hair.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
About that, What do you say, like you know people
that have hairy arms or hairy faces or hairy other parts.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Naturally, no hairy arms, or you shave your arms, Well, mine's.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
It's blonde, so you don't see it, and I do
not shave my arms.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Thank you for asking. But you can't really see the
hair there, I see it.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I mean, yeah, you can see it.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
Yeah, you can't see it.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I'm gonna calling you a blond YETI for a while.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
It looks so much better, Russ. You're gonna be so
happy when you see it. It looks really good.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
He's gonna enjoy it. But he's gonna hate this. He's
hating this whole process because he's not on the microphone.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
You need to you need to take some time out
for yourself and go see him and get your get
your hair and get your your beard done.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
That's what I was trying to tell the guys. And
I appreciate the texture. Like the word that you're looking
for is groomed, that groomed experiences as actually, dudes, you
can do this.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Not enough has talked about about good kind of grooming.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Yeah, and you know Russ has been a groomer for
a long time.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Oh wait what yeah?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
And so uh so here's here's here's an example. Like
before I went on my trip, I went and got
my nails done, which I never do right because I
don't take time for myself.
Speaker 9 (37:41):
Plus there it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (37:43):
But as I was getting my nails done, and now
when I look at him.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
I'm like, look at me being fancy. And then now, Russ,
you get to be beard fancy.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
There's a there's a magazine it's called beard Fancy. It's
usually not about real beards, but it's really about.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Like, you know, about the other kind of beer.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
It looks really good, though. He did a great job
trimming you up.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Yeah, he's like, I'm surprised how much of a difference
this has already made.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
How much did that those trimmers?
Speaker 8 (38:12):
What's the average price of something like that.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
A car payment?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
The guys, the barbers that spend money on uh their
equipment and all their accessories. Yeah, that's it again. That's
it separates the guys that work at you know, one
of these franchise locations as opposed to uh, one of
these uh you know uh one off shops.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah. No. I was with the barber one time and
he dropped his scissors and he started swearing like a maniac,
and I'm like, what's wrong, man, He's like those a
couple of hundred dollars. Well, he's like, now I got
to get him fixed and tweaked, because they'll be the
scissors will be off.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
And I was like, oh, dude, there's there's yeah, there's
a whole bit of industry. These guys that will fix
all this stuff. They swing by and they'll and they'll
and they'll go to different barbershops and pick up they'll
pick up your scissors, they'll pick up your clippers. They'll
do all that and and and clean it up and
get it ready for you or sharpen them. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
No, And Russ is just driving Russ crazy to sit
here and like not be able to say this is awesome.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
Basically, have you ever been with a barber before and
they're using shears and it feels like it's pulling your hair?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah that's what.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah, because they're not sharpened or you knock him out
of alignment. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a real thing.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Man.
Speaker 10 (39:25):
You don't want to torture your clients.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
But you could torture this guy though, Yeah, a little
if you messed it up a little bit. Man, be
fun if you take an eyebrow off, Oh yeah, dude's eyebrows.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Yeah yeah. Do you do nose hair?
Speaker 10 (39:45):
It depends, you know, if it's a quick trim, sure,
But we also do waxing.
Speaker 8 (39:49):
At hammer and ain't a wax in somebody's nose holes?
Not me?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
No, I can't stand this, dude.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Ryan and I did that. We lost the bed a
couple of years ago when we had lady come in
here and waxed our nostrils. It was actually, I'm gonna
sun cry.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
It would smell bithlow from here.
Speaker 8 (40:09):
It was an.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Intense endorphin rush. But afterwards it was awesome.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
Yeah, I feel like nose hair is supposed to be there.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
No, you don't need it.
Speaker 9 (40:18):
It's got a blockhouse though.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Now it gets in the way of the good rails.
Speaker 9 (40:26):
Gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
This text that came in and just crazy.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
It says my daughter sells haircutting scissors for a company
called Hanso. Those scissors cost about one thousand dollars a pair.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Not kidding.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You got the Hansas.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
They're in there.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Right?
Speaker 7 (00:51):

Funny Bone for like maybe four or five years. You know,
big shout out there by.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh they're wonderful. Look.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
George Wallace was here yesterday. And he's at the Funny
Bone this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
To that dude he is.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
You know him, I know him well. George Wallas is crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So I talked to him.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
Monday and he were just randomly talking and I said, yeah,
so I'm in Orlando this weekend and he said he
cuts me out and said that's why my tickets are
going you go.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
He was in yesterday Stadium for a long time. What
a wonderful guy.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Man, he's fantastic. You know. He has a Christmas tree
up in his house year round.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Doesn't really I'm doing a year round. He's gonna ask
me how I know about this Christmas. I've been knowing
George Wallas about ten years and every time we talked
here at the end of he was like, now what's
your name again?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I say, hey, man, I'm not gonna let you gass like.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He's one of those guys that as soon as he
enters the room, just like it lights.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
A likable dude.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, very likable man.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
I've been loving George Wallace a long time and to
get a chance to meet him. I met him officially
when we were doing a tribute to Robert Townsend and
he he opened up the room. Then Bill Bellen was hosting,
and then I was I was next, and they said, hey,
are you ready.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm like, man, I'm better than both of them.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Like, no, you're not better than me. I'm like you listening.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And George Walls one of those guys when you see
me like, oh my god, he's a legend. But for
whatever reason, like people don't usually bring him up that often.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I do?
Speaker 7 (02:33):
That's that's people who really not engulfed in comedy. It's
kind of like when people in hip hop start talking
about your favorite rappers. If you start with Biggie A Tupac,
I'm like, Okay, you don't know much.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You don't talk about you don't know much at all.
You know at what I watched yesterday? Was I watched
that there's Eddie Murphy. Yeah, I watched Eddie.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
What did you think about that?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I thought that was great?
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Man, Eddie did a fan They did a fantastic job
with Eddie store. You know, he's definitely been a staple
in comedy, an icon.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
May me love it more? Like I've always you know,
I grew up with Eddie mur Murphy. Raw, I mean
for goodness sake, you know, as a kid, that was
the great and maybe even like it more watching the documentary.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, the documentary was great.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Man to see all those movies that he's done, and
he made he made a great point that he's done
a lot of movies, different ranges and still has never
received styles an Oscar, And so that that gives me,
you know, a lot of hope. I've done a lot
of different specials, a lot of different ranges and still
having received, you know, a Comedy Award, And I'm like,
(03:32):
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Eddie Murphy didn't get an oscar. Something good?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do you do.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You feel like?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do do you feel like Eddie Murphy did open it
up for?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Because I was really it was really interesting to see
Dave Chappelle say, listen, everyone else says, you know Richard Pryor.
I didn't really know much about Richard Pryor. For me,
it was Eddie Murphy. Uh did you connect with that?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I did you know?
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Because sometimes that's era, you know, people always say Richard
and not really know Richard's material, not really know the
essence to him. The cursing wasn't what Richard was about.
And even even more so than Richard is Cosby for me?
You know, it's always been Cosby, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Is that weird to say that now, knowing what we
know about Cosby? No, not at all about the comedy.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
I'm talking about the com I'm not talking about his
personal life. I'm talking about what he his contributions to comedy,
you know, just like I don't say, you know, Elvis
his contributions to the rock that has nothing to do
with his personal life, right, you know I agree with
you on that. Yeah, I separate the two.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
People can't do that. But but but I do as well.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I try. But Michael Jackson has too good a songs?
Speaker 9 (04:42):
What about Kelly?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And still Michael Jackson wasn't proven.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Until people give me something that's solid, I'm not with it. Yeah, yeah,
because in my mind, I'm still thinking Michael Jackson's the
most popular person in the world. He couldn't have been
molested some kid in the hospital. What do he moon
walked past the nursing state? Many do you find that that?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
White comics will say, oh, George Colin, George, uh, George Carland,
and then black comics will say, Richard pryor do you
do you find it is a distinction like that.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
And I think most comics put them in order the
right the right order, because when it comes to stories
that and then there were two different types of comedy, right,
and when we go to storytelling, the top is Cosby,
then next is Carlin. I'm saying, then you have everybody
else that falls up under that, you know, So when
(05:34):
it comes to that, I don't think I think unknoledgeable
comics split the two up, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, so they
got to know a lot about comedy.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you feel to be to be a great comic,
it's important to study the people that came before you.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is that important?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
I think if you want to be a successful person,
you know, and you want to give something to the
craft other than slapstick, because a lot of these people
they're unfortunate and they comedy won't last over time. It won't,
it won't age. Well, It's kind of like people's music today.
I'm not I can be sixty listening to rock Heilm,
(06:10):
but I don't think you're gonna be listening to laughing Taffy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
That's one thing though, Like I was thinking that comedy
will always be of its time, that a sense so
imagine you're not somebody who's like worries about like somebody
you say pop up in twenty years and be like, oh,
that's too far because like in twenty twenty five, No,
that was funny.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's okay, move on.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I think that once. That's with your regular stand up.
If you're doing a special, a special, shit should last
the test of time. You know, I could watch Cosby
himself today and laugh and and it's relevant. I could
watch Live from some Says strip today and it's relevant.
I can watch Carling in this relevant. It's like, what
(06:53):
are you that's about studying the craft. If you're gonna
study the craft, then you'll know. Let's not put an
Obama joke in my special. Yeah, you know, let's not
put a Trump joke in my in my special because
that's not special. That's what an open Micah could get
on stage and say something that's in the news.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Now.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You had a really good joke though, where you're like,
you're like, man, that is a really good joke. But
you think about it that way, you're like, but that's
not timeless. I'm not putting that in the special. If
you have you struggle with that.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, cause I don't do jokes. I do stories.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Stories, so see, and storytellers for me anyways, are infinitely
more entertaining than joke joke machines.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Right, Like a joke.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Machine, I feel like I'm being fired at a storyteller,
like I'm in it, and I'm with you, and I'm
following you, and I like like we're going on a
journey together.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
And that's the difference between studying the craft and not
in the special. If somebody watched My My Two Sons,
it's about me and my two sons, you know, and
it's it's gonna always be that no matter how my
songs get, that still happen. If you watch Domino Effake,
Domino Effect is a is a walk through my life
from ten to twenty five. So that's why it's four parts.
(08:04):
So I don't think that will ever go out, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And storytelling probably is the reason why you'll be at
the Doctor Phillips Center, because that is more I mean
saying highbrow.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Is that is that a disc By saying it's hybrow.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You're not doing jokes at Yeah, because because.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I was curiously like when you came to Orland, You're like,
did you say, hey, I want to be at the
doctor Phillips Center or did they hire you?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like, how does that work?
Speaker 7 (08:29):
The promotion company which is out back, which is great.
They all out back promotions. They put together the routing
of where while I'm going to ask me, you know,
do I want to play this?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Did? And I'm like yeah? Cool? We go on on availability?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
How long is this tour for you?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A hundred cities?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh my god, my gosh.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
We almost done and we'll be done December thirty first,
oh Man in Houston, which is great. I don't have
to go anywhere. That week home for you, right yeah, yeah,
that's home.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But you're going through the holidays? Is that tough for
your family life?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
They used to it used to Yeah, they used to
be going through it. You know, I'm not home for.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
When did you start? When you start stand up comedy?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
December fourth, nineteen ninety seven, ninety seven some time?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, twenty eight years.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You seem to take the craft like so seriously. I
can tell that about you right out of the gay
and my first introduction to you was.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
On an episode of Kill Tony.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
To be honest with you, Oh wow, is it hard
for is it like when you sit there and you watch,
like because it's an open mic show and it's a
lot of people kind of doing like they're all very
new doing very new material.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Is that hard for you to watch? Is it nails
on a chalkboard?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Or do you do?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
You do?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You sit there and like appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I don't have any judgment of them. I know that
they knew, so I'm just like, Okay, that's what you know,
because everybody started somewhere. But you say kill Tony's So
that's in the last three two that's in the last
two years.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you way late.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean I sound about about ten years eight. Ten
years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
I stopped following comedy because I just stand up conning myself.
But I kept I used to love watching stand up comedy,
but I kept feeling like I was going to like
lift from people that are like subconsciously, and I started
watching it in a different way. So I just kind of
turned off my like love for comedy in a way.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Wow, Yeah, he's a weirdo. Y.

VIP package information as well there.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So you know, I know that you've been doing stand
up comedy for some time. I didn't realize that you
had done radio for three years of radio? So were
you mornings or afternoons or.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
After I was the afternoon drive. The crazy thing.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I did radio in Shreveport, Louisiana K one oh four.
That was the first time. Yeah, and I was the
sports person, Oh really, And I hated it. So no comedy,
You couldn't be funny or anything. Just you know, I
just talked about the sport. You know, made that funny.
But I hated it, and then you know, I stopped
doing it, and then I went to Houston start doing
(12:08):
stand up during the pandemic. They hired me to do
radio for Magic one O two in Houston Radio one
so I get on. My co host is like an icon,
you know, Texas Radio Hall of Fame. I've been listening
to it for thirty five year, Funky Larry Jones, and
we doing the radio and I think, man, like year three,
(12:31):
I hated it. You hate it because they brought somebody
into dude the analytics of the station that that's from
somewhere else, don't know the culture changing the music, and
it was like, yo, maybe who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And we never met him?
Speaker 7 (12:49):
And our music started getting different and I just hated it.
And I remember they they fired me on like a Thursday, right,
it was weird.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
They brought in a new pro Gram director.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Let you do your shift or that they or they
did it before your show.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I was out of town.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
So we had a great PD, Terry Thomas, and then
we they switched the PD. So I went to the
new PD meeting whatever, and then that Thursday they fired me.
And I'm such a jerk that he called us like, hey,
we're not moving forward your contract.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You got any you got any questions? I'm like no.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
And then I went on Instagram and I walked out
my room and I had my phone. I was like, oh,
I'm so distraught they fired me today from radio.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't know. I have no idea what I'm going
to do with my life now.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
And I was in Chicago and as I kept walking
and I just kept panning up and then it said
Chicago Theater sold out.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was like, oh, I'm so distraught.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, he sure of had a backup thing. A weird thing. Man.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
My salary was like way lower than what I make
on the weekend per show, Like I'm gonna make triple
my salary tonight and I'm gonna make triple my salary tomorrow.
And I was making man, I was making like one
hundred k a weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Like I wasn't concerned about radio.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, yeah, yeah it's twnny way we learned yesterday George
Wallace did radio.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Like a lot of stand up guys do. We'll do
it for some time.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Hey, talking about you know you're traveling now, you know,
over one hundred shows this year or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Have you ever thought.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
About And I'm thinking about George Wallace yesterday he did
Vegas for like fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Is that something you would ever consider?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You get to a particular point where a residency look
on your face.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Man, they asked me to do one for the Virgin
Oh wow, you know in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So I come there. I think it's twice a year now,
but I don't know. You got the same city like
all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Like I think people get caught up out there.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
A lot of tourists though, so a lot of people
coming through. You just don't have to move. They're coming
to you.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
And what's crazy is my audience is sixty percent of
the residents in town. And they was like, we've never
had that before. It's like the only other person was
George Wallace and people would come out of town to
see him. Yeah, it would be it was like fifty
to fifty min was like sixty forty, and I was like,
I could, you know, look at it. But I don't
(15:22):
want to stand Vegas. That's the problem. I don't want
to stay in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Are you a gambler? Are you a sports guy? Are
you a gambler? I no, No, I don't.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I don't bet on anything that I don't have any
control over. I'll be a smart man. I bet on me,
but not I don't know if they gonna catch that
pass or not. I'm cool.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, who's your who's your who's your team?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Who's your giants?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Giants?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Okay, yeah, I'll suffer with the Giant. I'm suffering with
the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I get it out. I'll definitely.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
It's a lady that she works for the airline and
I fly the same airline pretty much all the time.
So we come through the airport and she's a Dallas
Cowboy fan and she can't wait to see me when
they win, but then she hides when they lose, and
it's like yeah, yeah, but the Giants were just up
and down.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Man, you new quarterback though.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Too bad that he's hurt, but that's a that's a
you know, there's a possibility.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
There it is, but he hurts, so we don't We
don't really know what he got. We just gave away
our running back to Philly. Philly should they should shed
US championship with us.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Said, you're a sports guy and you did sports, you know,
radio and stuff. What do you think about, like a
gambling being such a big part of sports now, like
you know with fan duel and they're advertising it's like
infested with sports good or bad thing.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I think gambling has always been a part, you know,
whether you know it's legal or illegal. But now it's
that's all they pushing is gambling. I think the sports
have gone down and the gambling has gone up. Right,
it's all about gambling. We only playing these games so
people can gamble exactly. Fantasy Fantasy football is crazy, like people, really,
(17:06):
this is the real They might as well be coaches
the way that they draft.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
How serious I take it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
They're not even having fun like watching the game anymore.
That's the thing that's as gambling myself, like that I'm
not having fun while I'm doing it because i'm whatever
the point spread is or whether I have like on
certain passes and whatnot, and it's just not enjoyable anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And I've lost a lot of money too.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You have.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Picked well, no, no, no, I like to I like
to think that I'm good at it, but then, like
you know, you can see your stats over time and
it's not it's not been great.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's not been great.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
So you didn't even watch on show. This is not happening.
I'm confused that you just stopped watching comedy.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's so much my mind.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Won't let me get away with it about it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But you didn't watch.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I only just learned who Ari Shafir Wasy recently as
you gave.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Up on comedy.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
He was like, yo, not doing it, don't want to
watch it, don't want to see it?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yo, who's out there?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
So you can watch like you can watch other people's
specials and just enjoy them without looking at him and
breaking them down and like being like this, this is
why he moves this way and that way.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
The problem with me watching now is that because on
my YouTube channel, I have launched other comedians. You know,
I shot Marcus d Wildie special, He's doing great. We
just shot his second special. I released Ryan Davis's special,
He's doing great. Then I released an old patriseo O'Neil special.
Now I'm getting ready to release Sidney Castillo and Malik
(18:38):
s and another lady once we finished shooting her special.
So I have to watch and now understand the industry
a little more because I have a lot of people special.
And I balled up my hat and thrown it out
the room several times because they so bad. Like I'm like,
(19:00):
and I have to call as a comic and a
friend and say and with my producer had on, hey man,
this is not it, and they get upset, and I'm like, well,
we's shop into another network and see what they say.
And if you respect what they say, don't get mad
at me, because I guarantee you I'm gonna say this.
It hasn't been anybody special who's got picked up once
(19:23):
I said that it wasn't good because.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
So if you shoot it to me before you shot it,
then we could adjust it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
We can fix it.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
But if it's already shot and then you want me
to distribute it, I can't do it because it's some
parts that's missing. It's bad to me. So and I'm
only doing what with my company. It's like this, it's
five of us, all five people have to agree. You
can't get one of the four, you can't get four,
(19:53):
you have to get all five.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And that's even with my owns. I'm putting you through
the same ring that I put myself.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I've put things on the table and I'm sitting back
and watched them like, no.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That don't work.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
That don't work.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
And I did it, and they know how I understand
about it. I say one, I put this special out
here to see how honest y'all were. Where y'all just
blowing smoke or where y'all going? Because I'm the boss.
What I'm saying are you're gonna just be out something
you think it's bad.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Missing something, it's missing so many layers.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'm like, so what do you think?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Like? No, I'm like, good, quantified, Like what it is
that's missing?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Can you put it into words?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Or is it just like you you're feeling a vibe
and it's off and you just know because you've been
doing it for so long.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
For it to be a special.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I can't listen to anything that an open micer would say.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If your special has anything that an open.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Mic person would say, or that's dated, I'm not it's
it's not special, it's just a show.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Bryan.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
You should follow him like you should listen to him.
He's a comedy elitist.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
If people want to follow you, how do they follow you?

The Mantra the morning. Hey, welcome back to the Mantras.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Mornings were already on one on four point one broadcasting
live and iHeartRadio I Brush Rollins along with Angel and
Ryan and Savannah all here today and this is something
that Angel has set up. Hey, Wes, couldn't you get
there near the microphone? Buddy, Well, we're gonna talk to
you a little bit and we'll let you set up here.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh look at that. He's got professional.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Stuff, he said, he said before he starts talking. He
said in the in the break room that I could use.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
The razor on the underneath of your crowd.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, my ass I learned during Cinco Demayo about trusting
you about anything, he said.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He said, your hands are built for a straight razor.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Yeah, you could probably do a good job on Russ's gobblin.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, but you don't know Wes, is that that we did.
We did a bit.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Where she was where she was supposed to the water
in my face and slap.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Me right right right.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
But it was his idea.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But she hit me.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So hard I was I broke my ear drum and
I was deaf for two months. So yeah, no, no
more trust in Savannah with anything around my throat for sure.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Wes, how you doing, buddy, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Wonderful scene you hear so Angel set this up. Let
me explain what's going on, just so you know. So
for years, like I never I always like, I don't
want to draw. I don't want to grow a beard.
I don't think I look good with a beard. I
don't like a beard. It gets gray. It makes me
look old. I'm already old enough as it is. And
and Ryan somehow talked me into the first of October.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You said you want to do no shave November because
you got a wedding.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You gotta go right right.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
My son's wedding is tomorrow, U and I and I
said on the first of October, well, I'll shave it
by then, but then after I let it grow, a
lot of people are like, it looks better you look.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Good with a little but it's not. It's not shaped
or whatever like, so ain'els not.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Taking care of it. He just let this thing grow out,
willing nearly like you're supposed to when you're first growing
it out. You let it, you know, do its thing.
And it's been two months of this.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, so a grown man. This is all I got.
So they're not a whole lot of testosteron here, I
guess or whatever.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Got a wedding to go to this weekend, and I
was like, listen, dude, the thing that will make it
pop is how you got to get it shaped, got
it cut, cleaned up, got to clean your neck, all
these things. And he's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah? Is that what you do? Wes? It is man?
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You know, like you don't have the struggle where you
had the patches.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Right, yeah, patches, but I do. He got the gray
stuff there. So I tell you what I did do
a couple of weeks ago is I did get some
of that die stuff and I died it and my
wife was so upset and she's like, he looks stupid.
I do not ever do that again. So that's all
washed out and gone. So no dying I guess gray.
I guess from what I understand, ladies like the gray.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
True.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I mean, I mean, I know my wife loves the gray.
I'd tell you that, but you know it's a little
distinguishment that comes along with the gray.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah for sure, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Okay, So someone like like Ryan or or Angel, can
you can you shape their bear like I'm thinking maybe
you should do Ryan first.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Oh, buddy, you go first. You're the You're the reason
that we're doing all of this. Ryan's his will be easy.
This is the first time for you, getting you tightened
up and everything. So again, I'm not skar bitting here.
This is a serious thing. You got your kids wedding
and everything, so this is serious stuff to me. So
I trust Wes. Uh trust him over there, hammred Nails
(25:36):
in winter Garden and uh yeah, this is a good thing.
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, my son's wedding is tomorrow. Actually Angel is the
DJ at the wedding. Uh and of course the father
father of the groom. You know, I got to looked good.
Uh So so what is it you would suggest for this?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Uh? This like freshly grown beard.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I mean, I mean, the suggestions are quite easy.
Speaker 10 (25:58):
Is you know what your wife once and then you
live with it, right, So.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's all that's all you got.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
So in that instance, if you're like West, he's taking
down a little bit, I can do that for you.
If you say, Wes, I want to grow it out,
I can do that a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
You know.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
The the most fun part is is that when you
get your beard done and you go shopping, you get
trying to take.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Advantage of those bogos.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
You want to look good, You want everybody to stare
at you. That's the whole goal. So however you want it,
that's what we're here for. That's how we want to
get it done for you.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Brother, What are you doing when you go to get
your your beard?
Speaker 6 (26:29):
So I was telling Wes, is that for you?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Cleaning it up the neck, getting the neck line there,
cleaning it up around the mustache line and everything. So
you got to understand, uh, Wes, what you're dealing with?
What kind of animal you're dealing with?
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Right here?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Right?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
This guy he's a he's a fan. He thinks that
he can give himself his own haircuts. I do, yeah, yeah,
so he do all the time. He uses the flob
and he does all that, right, So what so what
I'm sorry, just yelled Jesus. So what I'm doing to
teach this savage? Just just just starting with the beard,
just to stap up and what the feeling it gives
(27:02):
a man to get your beard all cleaned and it's
all you have to do. Just clean him up, make
it look you know, sharp for photographs and everything, and
what that feeling is, you know, and how and how
that makes it makes it pop even more. That's all.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, man, there's nothing
worse than realizing you're missing out, all right, and when
you do it yourself right, you know, and then somebody
else does and.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
They're like, what happened to your face?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
You know, like when you got the phaser, you know,
like you got the burns and all the rest of
that stuff. I mean, you know, stop trusting yourself. Man,
you don't just hire us, but we'll do.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
We're not going to suggest for Savannah to cut anything
on me, right, I mean, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Like she told you a different story other than what
we were talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's what I thought. She will cut my throat.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
On everything.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
So I don't want to be an accessory to murder.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
That's really what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, no, but.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Where'd she go?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Her guess is here, so you can't. We're waiting at
the door, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
So you guys, okay, so you're ready, go.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Ahead and started there, Ryn and I will jump in
here and be over here.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Yeah. Well I need is a chair for you to
you know, to sit in.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
And while they're getting that all that set up, I
just want to give you guys a heads up again.
This is Hammer and Nail West is from the location
there in Winter Garden, and they got a special going
on book any service except for the waxing guys and
get a complimentary premium cut. All you got to do
is make sure that you mentioned when you're booking this
one oh four point one radio promo and the offer
is valid now through November the thirtieth. Again, that's Hammer
(28:33):
and Nails. It's the Winter Garden location, and if you
book any of the services outside of the waxing, you
can get a premium cut. You got to make sure
that you mentioned one to four point one radio promo
and that's a valid right now through November the thirtieth.
I think you can actually request Wes specifically, but just
(28:54):
book any other services and you can get that premium cut.
You think, Russ Russ, this is gonna be drive Russnus,
isn't it. Oh yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
First of all, he's not sitting in his rust seat
I've never seen ever before. And he's, uh, he's getting
this done now. He said, he's he's got his beard
ship shaped shaved before a long time ago by Broadway. Jo.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yeah, so, and that's not what we're doing here. We're
just gonna clean him up and shave and you know,
do the neck line andever.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
You know you don't like you you you're very good
at rocking your beard. You because you have an angle
to your face that like compliments your face.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
They don't hear me, right? The only reason I I
got to give all the props to my man Tetho,
you know. And Rush wasn't ready for the Tito treatment.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
No he's not, No, he's not.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
And I I do my beard because I have don't
have a jaw line. So that's why I keep it
like this. It's it's like man makeup. I always look
at my beard. Russ's turn the lights up.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Oh yeah, he needs the light to be able to
see to ligne him up. And you guys can watch
this on real radio or on our website.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, everybody can see everything. But yeah, this is
the greatest idea you've ever had, Agel.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
And he'll take care of you after I wanted to
make sure we got rustling.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I've seen, like, you know, TV shows were like high
power business people do this.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
You know again, this is one of those things. And ladies,
with the holidays coming up and and and you're if
you're always thinking about this or you want you want
your man to kind of uh step into the into
the moment. One of the coolest things to do is
give one of these services as a gift. Hammer Nails
is Off. You know, they have a bunch of different
(30:38):
gift cards or gift certificates that you can get through
the website and offer that for your man. And like
when you went to Europe and you did. I was
telling my man about this the other day. I always
talk about it when we're talking about this. You went
to the guy that did that burned that used to
fire on your ears. That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I know he wasn't like I looked that dude up
when I went back to Germany again and he wasn't
working that day, and.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I was like, okay, well I'll skip it this time.
But like I enjoy it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Like I get why ladies, you know, they go to
the spa or like they get their nails done or whatever,
because the same time, all like making you look better
and also just like it's a very relaxing, chill experience
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah, unless you like.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Go to that barbershop where they like talking ass is
a sport.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well, there's that type of barbershop experience, right, and then
there's one, like you know, there's the other one. There's
also the barbershop experience where every guy in there they're
a super maximum tough dude. And then there's the barbershop
like you know, the one that I go to or
you know, like how I hammer nails is where it's relaxed, chill,
they got the sports going on. They have a full
(31:42):
almost completely full bar, you know, and they offer all
the different services. I do think how exhaustible you think
Russ is losing his mind right now?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I don't know. Russ sits very still.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
I I gotta give him that, he like sits like
a statue. He would have done well if an oil
painting in eighteen twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
He said he doesn't want to he doesn't want it
to mess it up.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That's what Yeah, just looked regal right now.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah, I speaking of like like being the you know,
the tough guy that goes to the barber. Like I
was thinking about, like how exhausting it must be to
act like a tough guy all the time. I got
some of these dudes at my gym. I got some
of these dudes as I as I go throughout my day,
you know, like and they're they're guy that's like I
wouldn't There's no way I'd even wear that color.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
And one of the channels I follow weirdly on on
like Instagram or whatever, TikTok is like it's guys that
have been in jail explaining like things not to do
in jail, you know, and it's it's it's I look
at it because they're they're they're there, big tough guys
tat it up right, and then and then they're like, Okay,
(32:50):
it's some of the stuff is so specifically Okay, when
you ship down and eat your food in jail, right
when you get up, you knock on the table before
you before you get up, you give it a knock.
And then guy's like, why would you give it a knock.
He's like, it's just a.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Son of respect.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
You knock the table, you get up, and then you go.
If you don't knock, that's disrespectful. And the guy's like, okay.
So it's like he's just said. He goes all right,
so like this and he knocks on the table and
he goes see you later and he points and.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Are you pointing?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
That's that's how you that's how you become somebody's bitch pointing.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
I had to go get our guests.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Yeah, and I didn't realize you guys were in here
talking about Russ and he doesn't have access to a microphone.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Noh no, no, yeah, he's I know, he's completely losing it.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
My god, Oh hang on, Oh you're gonna sit in chair?
Speaker 9 (33:39):

beard first started coming in.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
Like it, I thought it looked really weird, like kind
of mangy, But it looks really good now.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
It looks really nice now.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yeah, because like like I can grow a beard and
like just by thinking about it, you know what I mean, Like,
it doesn't take long. I'll have I could have a
My beard would be down here in a month.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
If are they gonna trim you up?
Speaker 6 (36:13):
You did have that beard?
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Well, I had down on my nipples and then my
wife made me.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
He'll get Ryan cleaned up during the break.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
But it's not really a hair person. Like I don't
like hair at all. I'm very fortunate that I don't
have a lot of hair.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
About that, What do you say, like you know people
that have hairy arms or hairy faces or hairy other parts.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Naturally, no hairy arms, or you shave your arms, Well, mine's.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
It's blonde, so you don't see it, and I do
not shave my arms.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Thank you for asking. But you can't really see the
hair there, I see it.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I mean, yeah, you can see it.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
Yeah, you can't see it.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I'm gonna calling you a blond YETI for a while.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
It looks so much better, Russ. You're gonna be so
happy when you see it. It looks really good.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
He's gonna enjoy it. But he's gonna hate this. He's
hating this whole process because he's not on the microphone.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
You need to you need to take some time out
for yourself and go see him and get your get
your hair and get your your beard done.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
That's what I was trying to tell the guys. And
I appreciate the texture. Like the word that you're looking
for is groomed, that groomed experiences as actually, dudes, you
can do this.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Not enough has talked about about good kind of grooming.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Yeah, and you know Russ has been a groomer for
a long time.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Oh wait what yeah?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
And so uh so here's here's here's an example. Like
before I went on my trip, I went and got
my nails done, which I never do right because I
don't take time for myself.
Speaker 9 (37:41):
Plus there it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (37:43):
But as I was getting my nails done, and now
when I look at him.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
I'm like, look at me being fancy. And then now, Russ,
you get to be beard fancy.

usually not about real beards, but it's really about.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Like, you know, about the other kind of beer.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
It looks really good, though. He did a great job
trimming you up.
Speaker 5 (38:07):

this has already made.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
How much did that those trimmers?
Speaker 8 (38:12):

Speaker 9 (38:16):
A car payment?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
The guys, the barbers that spend money on uh their
equipment and all their accessories. Yeah, that's it again. That's
it separates the guys that work at you know, one
of these franchise locations as opposed to uh, one of
these uh you know uh one off shops.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah. No. I was with the barber one time and
he dropped his scissors and he started swearing like a maniac,
and I'm like, what's wrong, man, He's like those a
couple of hundred dollars. Well, he's like, now I got
to get him fixed and tweaked, because they'll be the
scissors will be off.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
And I was like, oh, dude, there's there's yeah, there's
a whole bit of industry. These guys that will fix
all this stuff. They swing by and they'll and they'll
and they'll go to different barbershops and pick up they'll
pick up your scissors, they'll pick up your clippers. They'll
do all that and and and clean it up and
get it ready for you or sharpen them. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
No, And Russ is just driving Russ crazy to sit
here and like not be able to say this is awesome.
Speaker 10 (39:11):

they're using shears and it feels like it's pulling your hair?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah that's what.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah, because they're not sharpened or you knock him out
of alignment. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a real thing.

if you messed it up a little bit. Man, be
fun if you take an eyebrow off, Oh yeah, dude's eyebrows.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
