09:28hey before we get into the question questions
09:30i want to ask you personal questions
09:31what was your like what's your what was your
09:34do you remember your aha joke
09:36the joke that when you're doing stand up
09:38that joke you said that you made that you wrote and you told
09:41and it got that killing you were just like
09:44aha this is this is the one
09:46ryan you go first your aha joke
09:49nah man i think it's the the first laugh i ever got
09:53it was whenever i fell in love with this
09:55i don't think
09:56you know stand up is unlike anything you've ever done in your life
10:00right you know uh a lot of people don't even know
10:02public speaking is the number one fear in the world
10:06even more than death
10:07damn
10:08so like jerry seinfeld said at a funeral
10:11people rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy
10:14man that's how crazy it is
10:16so you know i remember being just terrified
10:19and then when people laugh it's their appreciation for something you created
10:24and something that was meaningful to you
10:27and i'll never forget that first laugh ever
10:29carlos
10:31uh the aha joke
10:34uh i would probably say
10:37the joke that i wrote about getting a nickname from a homeless dude
10:42like the homeless this is a true story like in my hometown
10:47is this homeless dude every time he see me when that since i was a kid he used to
10:51always be like baby bird so
10:53so once i do the whole joke and then like everywhere i go people like you got to do the baby bird
10:59baby bird that's their favorite joke
11:00yeah that's what i named my company baby bird productions
11:03nice nice quake i really didn't have a aha joke because mine is just content you know i think the strength of what we do is consistency and just keep going but the one that resonated more than anything is when i did the thing you um put your air in your mama name yeah yeah yeah air pose would be water pose would be free yeah and when that one hit that's what i know that's my true fans that's the one that came back in
11:33and your crowd and your audience come back and say oh man i love that motherfucker and your mama name
11:38so that was my aha

18:49tell them again
18:51and we don't give a fuck all the titles you got
18:54them preconceived
18:55self-endosed titles
18:57kings, queens, pimps, all that
18:59put your work out here
19:01and let us speak for what it is
19:02okay
19:03that's all I say
19:04we all talk about
19:05you can say that
19:06because you got the best special on Netflix right now
19:08well god damn it
19:09but like you said though
19:11that's not
19:12I've been consistent for 30 years though
19:14listen
19:14that was just a night
19:16that they captured it that night
19:17it was not a nominee of it
19:19anybody that knows me
19:21but what did I tell you
19:21from 91
19:22till this motherfucking time
19:24my jokes
19:25have been consistent
19:26all the way through
19:27it was just that
19:28Dave Chappelle
19:29came and said
19:31I am gonna put you on a level
19:32and let everybody else know
19:34what it is
19:35but motherfuckers been
19:36self-proclaiming
19:37themselves great
19:38all the way through
19:40and people have not been
19:41holding these motherfuckers accountable
19:43because they not
19:45they still want to be their friends
19:47they don't want to get up
19:48or set up
19:49but if we're talking about jokes for jokes
19:51and what it is about jokes
19:53not what your TV show is
19:55not what your movie is
19:56are you funny
19:57then let the jokes speak for themselves
20:00can't fake it
20:00that's what I'm saying
20:02I have always said that
20:04at some point motherfuckers
20:06we're gonna have to get back to the job description
20:09and that is being funny
20:11all that other shit
20:12y'all niggas talk about
20:13I don't even want to hear it
20:14but see I don't get in that
20:15because see once you get into that
20:17it gets away from your creativity
20:19so I just constantly do what I do
20:22keep on putting it in
20:23and let it be
20:24and it eventually
20:25it will speak for itself
20:26but if you sitting here
20:28talking about these motherfuckers
20:29being funny man
20:30put your work out there
