- 6:09Speaker 1: the praint phone calls took off, characters took off, my
- 6:13Speaker 1: my stand up comedy got bigger. And it all just
- 6:16Speaker 1: s them from not quitting, not not settling to do
- 6:19Speaker 1: something else. Man. And and that's the goal. We know.
- 6:22Speaker 1: The thing about it is that first of all, I'm
- 6:24Speaker 1: just gonna tell you about that May and Thomas Miles.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You know he graduated from Texas any I mean, you
- 6:29Speaker 1: won that great game this weekend. Congratulations be the lso
- 6:37Speaker 1: oh my god, we're still screaming about this game second
- 6:42Speaker 1: from Secting too. That's how you win a game. Now.
- 6:47Speaker 1: The thing about it is that when I brought up
- 6:49Speaker 1: to l A, there was no promises. And that's important
- 6:52Speaker 1: that people. People want you, how how much? When we
- 6:54Speaker 1: get paid, Oh well, it's just guarantee. And I told
- 6:58Speaker 1: us that that's the time. Its first of all, you
- 6:59Speaker 1: got he gott it. You gotta get out of Houston, Texas, okay.
- 7:02Speaker 1: And he had a great credit with the Van Drows
- 7:04Speaker 1: And that's the luthing he's talking about the great uh
- 7:06Speaker 1: Luther vanbros. And so so when he came out and
- 7:09Speaker 1: I said, man, I can't promise you anything. Throw him
- 7:11Speaker 1: a little money here and that nothing guaranteed. But man,
- 7:14Speaker 1: he would get up in the morning and we just
- 7:16Speaker 1: do this routine with Krispy Crean Boy. He would act
- 7:20Speaker 1: like in his character, would act like he couldn't get
- 7:22Speaker 1: up out of bed. He allied like he was at
- 7:24Speaker 1: Crystal Cree and that blew up in the l A.
- 7:27Speaker 1: They fell in love with this dude, and and but
- 7:29Speaker 1: Christopher Cree loved it because he would go to Christoph
- 7:32Speaker 1: Cree every day. I'm in Christop Creen, He's to send
- 7:34Speaker 1: him to someplace else in Los Angeles, But somehow he
- 7:37Speaker 1: was always at the Christma Creed and Chris Shaw you
- 7:39Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. I stayed at the Christma Crez.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You know, man, we we we we came up with
- 7:48Speaker 1: so many um nuances, man, that that just made made
- 7:52Speaker 1: the show very unique. You know, me, me, me calling
- 7:56Speaker 1: Stephen wanting his wanting his credit card because I was
- 8:00Speaker 1: Kahama Dealership, you know, you know, just just we created
- 8:04Speaker 1: so much trauma that you know you had to tune
- 8:07Speaker 1: in and hear what was gonna happen to remember that
- 8:10Speaker 1: time you threw the part at his house that he
- 8:11Speaker 1: didn't know about. Man exactly exactly. But yeah, man, it's
- 8:23Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's just it's never quitting Rushan. I've
- 8:26Speaker 1: never seen, uh, you guys quit on anything. You know,
- 8:29Speaker 1: I've never seen it happen, man, So you guys are
- 8:31Speaker 1: always good mentors on you know, if it wasn't working,
- 8:34Speaker 1: this week, We're gonna figure out next week. Gotta make
- 8:36Speaker 1: it work whatever, whatever the situation was, there was never
- 8:39Speaker 1: any quitting. So being around guys like like you all,
- 8:43Speaker 1: I digested that, you know, and I'm like, there's no
- 8:46Speaker 1: turning back on anything. That's if you want it, if
- 8:49Speaker 1: you desire you can have it. You can do it,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and that's important. And I just want to before we
- 8:53Speaker 1: get to show ready to law. When you see a
- 8:55Speaker 1: talent like Nephew Tommy, you know amazing amount of social
- 8:58Speaker 1: media followers, you know, the prank thing, it was just
- 9:01Speaker 1: again hard work because then because the fact that you
- 9:05Speaker 1: have to be able to produce these and get people
- 9:07Speaker 1: to call in and be a regular celebrity call in
- 9:10Speaker 1: on these pranks. He was prankticing celebrities before anybody was
- 9:13Speaker 1: prankticing celebrities. Wasn't even being practic until he came along.
- 9:17Speaker 1: They were just getting everyday people. When he started doing that,
- 9:19Speaker 1: He's said it in another dimension because it was like
- 9:22Speaker 1: he was just so skilled, so many different forces, and
- 9:24Speaker 1: that's why I just wanted to bring on a talent
- 9:27Speaker 1: that I've seen just had a vision with the Texas
- 9:30Speaker 1: in the first African American to graduate and in the
- 9:33Speaker 1: drama correct and in the theater first African America and
- 9:39Speaker 1: that's that's crazy to say that at Texas A And
- 9:41Speaker 1: then you go, really, he's not that old. But that's
- 9:44Speaker 1: how barriers are still being broken by individuals. And when
- 9:48Speaker 1: I look at a person like that, you see him
- 9:50Speaker 1: as entertainer, but know that he hasn't had to run
- 9:53Speaker 1: a course where there was unprecedented and guess what laid
- 9:56Speaker 1: the groundwork for a lot of people. And then you
- 9:58Speaker 1: know he's not a cue but uh, you know, I'm
- 10:00Speaker 1: gonna let that new do his thing. But he can't
- 10:02Speaker 1: spend a kid. He can spend a kid. Though. We're
- 10:08Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna be right back on the next break, nephew, Timmy,
- 10:11Speaker 1: We're gonna delve into the show your hostel on own.

- 17:42Speaker 1: people to do is to tune in and not know
- 17:45Speaker 1: this guy at all. That I had to have some comment.
- 17:49Speaker 1: There had to be a balance. You have to give
- 17:51Speaker 1: him some comedy and then maybe you introduced them a
- 17:54Speaker 1: little bit of comas Miles. But the comedy has to
- 17:58Speaker 1: be there. And that's what I up, That's what I love.
