We sure did. Hey.
Uncle Dave, we're just going to give them the cookout conversation. You can say David. You can just say David. That's cool. David. Yeah. Giving them the cookout conversation. For sure. They ain't ready for this one. Well, they're going to have to get it. Then let's go. Let's go. So for the world, y'all got to understand my Uncle David, man. Like, when I talk about a true comedic genius...
I really mean that by every stretch of the imagination because Uncle David, you know this just like I know. There's a lot of funny people out there. Just daily. You make me feel old. You are old. I ain't number 43, motherfucker.
You look older than me.
I am 22 plus 24. Little brother Dave. Just name it. So there's a thing. There's a lot of people that can be funny, right? Like we talk about the cookout. Everybody has that funny uncle that can tell a good joke, have everybody laughing. But there is a big difference when you got to get on stage and people expect you to be funny and expect you to tear their stomach up, man. How did you master that?
I just, it ain't no plan B. You know what I mean? Like people say like, oh, I want to do this. Like I don't know the last time I did that regular, you know? Like if I'm dating somebody, she know, hey, I'm really dating comedy. You going to be here for a minute, but I mean, how long you going to really last? Because like every single day I go do comedy, you know?
Like I got here early tonight because I just want to see the city of D.C. and I'm going to go find somewhere to get up at the night, you know? People want to do stuff, but then some people want to dedicate the rest of their lives to it. You know what I mean? You can't make it. You can't be halfway in and halfway out. Like, hey, man, I got a show. I got this big opportunity for you.
