No, but apparently I'm a very flirty person. >> Oh like but you don't know you're doing it kind of thing. >> And I said, "Go ahead and slide on her if you're going to slide." And then a couple days later we was at the Laugh Factory and then Gucci walked in and I was kind of like, "Oh damn." I just I cuz I don't know if my girl at the time was going they was going to have sex. So it was like first time meeting her and I know my girl is attracted to you so it was a little awkward. And then she thought that I didn't like her. And then from there I To be fair, I never think people like me when I first meet them. I'm like, "Oh they hate me." I don't know why. >> Yeah. And then I remember just like wanting like one day I just wanted to go

I was like, "Why is this child at the Laugh Factory?" You're both ratting each other out. Security. But it did take a like not too long, but it did take a while to get like close. And then once we like made efforts, we decided that we were going to be friends, then we were inseparable. >> Yeah, it's like really cool to have somebody who understands what you do. Like, you know, you guys you you guys

It's hard to find like adult friends as adults. Like, not taken from childhood. So, most of my friends I have now are just that I acquired through like community of living here so long, like living here for like 6, 7 years, and then I finally found a community. Oh, okay. So, from Cleveland, you came straight to LA? Yeah, I've only lived in Cleveland and LA. I've been in LA this my year eight for me. Oh, wow. Okay. And

How did you know you had something wrong with you? Brain's trying to like grow and your skull's not
5:03 letting it. Like what are the symptoms? You have like crazy headaches or >> Like smartness just starts slowing down. Well, I used to have migraines all the time when I was growing up and I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but like just I started to feel weird like I couldn't breathe and then I started to get like stroke symptoms.

Like when you talking to a neurologist, they be doing ████ They was like, so they gave me an MRI with and without contrast. So the contrast is to see if there's any liquid like in your leaking from your cerebral spinal fluid. And they called me back and they was like, "Yep, you have Chiari malformation. You're going to get a surgery. You're going to go call this person." Okay. Any questions? I said, "Wait, hold on. Wait a second. Say that again. You have Chiari malformation. You're going to need some surgery and you can get it on the books. We're going to go ahead and schedule it." And they like hung up and I was like, Damn. Huh?

7:33 >> That would have been awesome though. >> It was cool and I ended up like taking my sets and then dropped a comedy album based off like the sets that I just recorded from my phone and it was on a Billboard top 10, so that was cool. But I would be type Oh, too much head type ████ >> Oh, too much head. >> Yeah, it was on a Billboard top 10 for a week. Double entendre because she had It's a double entendre. >> Yeah, yeah. And then Yeah, he needs to get extra explanations most of the time. Too little head. Being on stage with the staples in the head and people would be like, "Did you really have surgery?"

It was before that. >> Oh, okay. >> About you on Kill Tony? >> No, no, no, no, no. I mean just the general climate of Kill Tony as a whole? Just I think Tony Hinchcliffe got like some bad PR based off what he did in the recent years. So I'm saying I was on there before the all of that happened. This was 2019. >> That was before he called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?
9:14 I love the direct quote. I feel everybody knows turn up and I was like, "Like that was you know." Yeah, okay. And it's a lottery also, so Damn, that's a I've never heard of that.

Wait, is that real? 21 staples like as a rap name? >> joking, but um yeah. I did really have 21 Staples in my head, so I kept saying my my name 21 Staples. >> If you had like a rap album right now, I'd be like that's okay, that's a Renaissance woman right there. Did a parody Through the Wire and then I made Through the Staples. So, I was just doing fun ████ Like it was fun and I was trolling people with it. Like, "Well, what happened to you?" I was like, "I was mauled by a squirrel." Like with the most sincere voice. They're like,
10:05 They just say I'm like, "Oh, I was in the Matrix." And they go, "Oh." Actually happened once. I remember growing up a squirrel got into the building that we lived in and um my mom thought it would be a good idea to grab a handful of rice and then try to lead it out the building. Like lure it out? >> Yes. Why didn't she do that? Why didn't she just call somebody? >> Bro, why did the squirrel We lived on the second floor. WHY DID THE SQUIRREL CHASE HER UP TO THE SIXTH FLOOR? SHE chased her? >> Why didn't she drop the rice? SHE JUST RAN UP AND CHASED HER UP TO THE SIXTH FLOOR AND IT'S JUST HER and hits her with the squirrel. MY MOM HAD TO CALL LATE TO WORK. HER WEAPON OF CHOICE WAS A rice ball. It was a ball of rice. It was a weapon of choice. Rice ball versus squirrel. She could have used anything. Squirrels eat anything.
10:56 That was really very possible. >> by the rice choice. I'm not Chinese. But was it cooked rice or raw rice? Raw rice. >> Oh, so it's not even it's not even tantalizing. Don't they say don't throw raw rice to like pigeons and ████ on weddings cuz they No, it's bread. It's bread. Oh, bread?

No, they can't properly digest the bread. So, it is apparently makes them explode. >> Cuz pigeons are spies anyway, so Yeah. Pigeons are bots. The government's eye up. Yeah. We almost hit a pigeon on the way over here. Pigeons are just for flying green cameras.
11:47 So, when you say iron sharpen iron, what kind of things do you feel like you get help from with her like as a friend? Like what are the specific things that get sharpened? Joke writing, content creation, like all of that stuff. It's we one of the first people I call like >> What do you think about this idea? Yeah, yeah. >> And you're honest with her if you're like, "Meh." She doesn't really have bad ideas. Damn. That's the iron just got sharper. She doesn't really like she's so creative like I learned a lot like even just on the like the digital marketing side of things. Like the things that she creates she's so creative not just in the comedy space just in general. So, none of her ideas are bad to me. I've never like that sucks. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. That's kind of like how you guys were except you just couldn't tell the IDEAS WERE BAD. DAMN, HOW DID Y'ALL CATCH A STRAY? WE
12:38 JUST said yes to everything. Oh, ████ yeah. They're both just going this s███'s tight. That's a good shot. And now make it Vietnamese. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then she really pulled out GarageBand. Oh, you guys made a diss track on
