Two years later, it's like 2009, he's doing another stand-up class.
And I had taken a sketch writing class in this place called Sketchworks in Atlanta.
And so it was either take the next round of the sketch comedy class and then Big Kenny called me and was like, or take the stand-up class.
Both cost 300 bucks.
I really didn't have it because it was my whole unemployment check and I had bills to pay.
I had to pay rent.
And Big Kenny goes, you're supposed to be doing this.
You're not going to pay for the class.
And I was like,
he's got your boxed in and I told my mom and she goes you should take the class I was like mama I don't know she said no she said she had a dream that the whole world was laughing at me and as a black person and as a southerner if your mama tells you she had a dream about something now you have to do it and it's you know in the same you know it's like of all communities of color if your mama has a dream about something you got to do it
So it doesn't matter where your mom is from, regardless of religion, whatever.
I know that's Latin women, too.
Right.
Your mother call you mija.
Swing I told you I'm trying to tell you don't talk to that boy So it's like I had a dream you're pregnant you you got that job or that at all You got a new I get a new car something like that If your mom calls you and says you had a dream your grandma your auntie, whatever They call you say you had a dream you got a you have to do the thing, right?
And so I was like, all right Well big candy to the class is free.
My mom had a dream so I have to do it And so now 17 years later, I live in LA and my family and I moved my family out
So what it is, and that's why I always hate when people say that,
Whenever somebody's like, oh, I'm a good actor because I'm a good liar.
You're not a good actor because you're a good liar.
