CLASSIC. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. ALL RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. ANOTHER JASON CAR RECOMMENDATIONS. HERE
WE GO. SOUNDS GOOD. WELL IT’S
OFTEN SAID THAT LAUGHTER IS THE
BEST MEDICINE AND TODAY WE ARE
TALKING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS
LOOKING TO GIVE US ALL A LARGE
DOSE. HE HAS A COMEDY SHOW
COMING UP THIS SATURDAY, BUT WE
GET A PREVIEW OF THE LAUGHS. WE
WANT TO WELCOME MIKE. LARRY TO
THE SHOW. THANKS FOR BEING HERE
. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
PLEASURE SO, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE
TO LAUGH AS YOU CAN SEE, LITTLE
JOKING GOING ON HERE. THAT’S
WHAT WE DO IN LIFE. THE D BUT
LET ME ASK YOU THIS. HOW DID YOU
FIRST REALIZE THAT YOU’RE FUNNY
? WAS THERE A SPECIFIC MOMENT OR
EVENT BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE
SOMETHING OR YOU JUST WOKE UP
BEING FUNNY. ACTUALLY UH,
GROWING UP. GROWING UP LIKE MY
FATHER WAS A REAL STICKLER ON
DISCIPLINE. AND I REMEMBER MY
BROTHER WAS TEASING ME OR
SOMETHING. I HAD A I WAS SEVEN
YEARS OLD. I HAD A PIE IN MY
HAND. HE WAS LIKE, I BET YOU
WON’T HEAR ME TO FACE AND I
WATCHED SO MANY TV SHOWS WHERE I
THOUGHT IT WAS RUNNING AND I HIT
HIM IN THE FACE WITH IT, AND
SOMEHOW I GOT IN TROUBLE.
FATHER’S MAD BECAUSE THAT WAS
HIS FAVORITE PIE, SWEET POTATO
POLICIES. WAS HIS FAVORITE PIE.
SO THAT DIDN’T REALLY WORK OUT
TOO. WELL IT DIDN’T IT DIDN’T.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HIT
SOME BUMPS BEFORE YOU CAME IN.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE
ASK YOU THIS STAND UP COMEDY IS
OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A LOT OF
ADULT LANGUAGE AND GROWN PEOPLE
CONTENT, BUT YOU’RE A CLEAN
COMEDIAN. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
TO YOU? AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE?
THIS ROUTE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO
WITH MY SPIRUAL BACKGROUND? UM
I WAS LIKE YOU SAID I WASN’T A
CLEAN COMIC AT FIRST. AND UH, I
WENT THROUGH A TRANSITION WHERE
GOD WAS CONVICTING ME. YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN OF MY MATERIAL, AND,
UM I TALKED TO MY PASTOR CLAWED
OUT OF ME AND HE WAS LIKE, YEAH
, MAN, YOU GOT THAT, YOU KNOW,
DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. AND SO I
STARTED DOING CLEAN AND EVER
SINCE THEN, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN
KIND OF OPENING UP. YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN? ALRIGHT WAS IT A
HARD TRANSITION OR JUST WAS LIKE
YOU? FELT THAT PUSH AND YOU
JUST, YOU KNOW, VULGAR PERSON
ANYWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO
MY CONVERSATION IS PRETTY MILD
AND REGULAR WASN’T A BIG
TRANSITION. BUT, YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I DID, LIKE THE CUSTOM
CUSTOM WAS FUN. I GOT YOU. I GOT
YOU. YOU’RE ALSO REALLY
COMMUNITY MINDED. TELL US ABOUT
YOUR NONPROFIT 100% REAL FATHERS
, MAN. THIS THIS NONPROFIT IS
REALLY DEAR TO MY HEART BECAUSE
I WAS A SINGLE FATHER. SINGLE
FATHER BEFORE I MET. MY WIFE WAS
SINGLE FATHER CUSTOM, MY TWO
KIDS, AND AT THE TIME WE ALL
WERE HOMELESS, AND IT WASN’T ANY
PROGRAMS FOR A SINGLE FATHER.
AND UM, I KNEW ONCE I GOT OUT OF
THAT SITUATION, I WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO REACH BACK AND HELP
ANYBODY ELSE THAT WAS GOING
THROUGH THE SAME THING I WAS
GOING THROUGH AND EVEN AS YOUNG
ADULTS AS FAR AS BOYS EVENTUALLY
THE MAIL IS LOOKED AT AS THE
LEADER OF THE HOME AND SO WE DO
THAT, AS FAR AS TRAINING YOUNG
KIDS UP TO BECOME REAL MEN. ALL
RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO ASK YOU ONE
OTHER THING. WHAT IS COMEDY
CLASS COMEDY CLASS MY COMEDY
CLASS. SO DURING THE PANDEMIC,
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER
RESOURCE. YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
WAS SHUT DOWN. AND YOU KNOW, I
LOVE COMEDY SO MUCH. I WAS
ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT IT AND GOD
PUT IT ON MY SPIRIT TO DO A
COMEDY CLASS AND PUT IT ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AND FOR YOU KNOW IT
, MAN. PEOPLE WAS REACHING IN,
AND WE DID A SIX WEEK ONLINE
CLASS CALLED FUNNY. IT’S FUNNY.
OKAY SIX WEEKS AND SO I GOT 2020
PLUS GRADUATES AND 16 OF THESE
PEOPLE ARE WORKING AND THEY’RE
IN THE COMEDY GAME AND MAKING
WAY. I LIKE THAT. SO MAYBE ME
AND MY CO HOST CAN DO A LITTLE
SOMETHING FOR YOU BECAUSE I TOLD
YOU WHEN WE WERE IN COMMERCIAL
BREAK. HE’S THE DAD JOKE GUY. SO
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DAD JOKES
REAL QUICK. I HATE THAT JOKE
BECAUSE THEY NEVER REALLY
ACTUALLY SOME PEOPLE LIKE I GOT
A DEAD JOKE. OKAY, LET’S GO. I
HATE HIM, THOUGH. OKAY, GO
AHEAD, THOUGH. YOU KNOW HOW WHY
DID ALL THE EGGS BREAK? WHY DID
ALL THE EGGS BREAK? I DON’T
KNOW. TELL ME WHY? BECAUSE ONE
OF THE EGGS WAS A COMEDIAN. HE
INVITED HIM TO SHOW HE WAS SO
FUNNY. EVERYBODY WAS CRACKING
UP. OKAY OKAY, THAT’S THAT’S A
PLUG RIGHT THERE THAT GIVE HIM
DETAILS OF YOUR UPCOMING SHOW.
