- So Dave, what do you do for a living?
- I'm a stand up comedian.
- What have you been doing with your life?
How long?
- I'm currently an actor.
I got into it by writing.
- I do a couple of things.
I'm an artisan. I make handcrafted jewelry,
and I have a part-time job where I hang art.
- And what do you do?
- I am sort of an attorney.
- Okay.
- So yeah
- So like is your dad strict? Or your mom strict?
- My parents were half on, half off with the strict.
You know, like I had curfews and stuff,
but then I also got to pursue a lot of sports and activities
and things like that.
- So JC, what was your childhood like?
- The one thing that my parents instilled in us was that
we would always be close as siblings,
because they didn't have that same kind of closeness
in their childhood.
- You're one of the few that your parents
actually stayed together, so that's really cool.
So yeah, mine they split up and then eventually
dad kicked the bucket and stuck with mom.
- Kicked the bucket.
- Mom's doing okay.
I don't know what was wrong with her,
she was just way too strict.
And then the dad, he was more like,
kinda hangout and play, and kick back.
- Are you seeing someone? Married? Single? Dating?
- Very much single.
- Okay.
- That's a whole other show.
- The girl I'm dating,
she's in the similar business to me.
She does stand up comedy, which is weird,
'cause I've never dated another comic before so..
We're seeing how that goes.
- So JC, what are you passionate about?
- Traveling.
I learned to surf in Peru,
I went to Paris and studied French.
- How many countries have you been to?
- I've been to over a hundred countries.
- Wow.
- Vernon, what are three things that you're passionate
about, sans jewelry making?
- My spirituality, music, definitely passionate about,
I like to listen to all types of music,
play a little bit in a hard rock band.
- You are a mixed African American.
I, for some reason, think you have braids
in your hair right now.
I would say...
32.
Flat, band-like tennis shoe,
and a blazer,
but hip mom jeans.
- I think Vernon is tall...
long hair,
a darker complexion,
no facial hair.
Vernon is 38 years old.
I think Vernon is from California.
I think Vernon is wearing a nice, patterned shirt.
Maybe some suspenders and some jewelry.
- Okay I think that she was born in Minnesota.
And I think that she's African American.
And I think she's probably 25 years old.
I think that she's wearing, like, a really cool sundress.
I think high heels.
- Short, dark hair. No facial hair.
I'm thinking 28, maybe?
Imma go for Illinois.
I'm gonna say a button-up shirt, jeans,
with like a Chuck Taylor converse kind of shoe.
- I love 32.
- Wow, yeah, I was way off.
Nice to meet you.
So you're...
not mixed.
Where are you from?
- I was born in Sacramento.
Where were you born?
- Liberia.
- Oh my god. Wow.
- Yeah. You were right.
- Yep, I got heels.
And you said a blazer.
- Oh yeah, no blazer.
- Yep, and I said a sundress so..
- You were close. I'm 26.
- Okay, good.
Awesome.
- Hey.
- Oh hey, what's up?
- Nice to meet you.
- You got the long hair.
I was off with the facial hair though, right?
- Real off with facial hair.
- I got the button-up shirt.
- Yep, and I am from Illinois so..
You from California?
- No, Louisiana.
- Oh really? Cool man.
- Yeah I'm 48.
You said 38 so, 10 years.
- I'm 31.
So yeah.
- Few years off.
- Your voice...
For some reason I thought you were African American.
That's weird, have you gotten that before?
- No
- You're like "nope."
- Yeah, people usually get my age wrong though.
I will give you that.
They're like, "But you sound so young."
- I didn't get the sense that you're wound too tight.
Like you're going to freak out if something happens,
you know, but I don't know I could be wrong.
- Well, I have a mean streak. Only in the car.
- The English we speak in Liberia is more like
very heavily accented English.
It's like a creole English.
- Can you say something in it?
- Sure.
- Oh wow. Yeah it does have a creole feeling.
- What were the things that
made you come up with your assumptions about me?
- Well first of all, the comedian thing.
I figured you were pretty open-minded.
I figured you were pretty young.
I figured you was a young cat.
- Yeah, thank you. It's really fun.
- Nice to meet you man.
Might have to come out and check you out.
- Lets go catch a show.
Come to a comedy show so..
- Comedy show. Check out my band sometime.
- Yeah
