Growing up, we didn’t have much. My mom was raising two boys on welfare and Section 8 housing. Then one day she hit the lottery for $5,000… and everything changed. At least that’s what we thought. 😂💰

Two unexpected losses changed the direction of my life forever. During an 11-hour drive home, I made a decision that led me to stand-up comedy. This is the real story behind why I started. 🙏🎤

Parents Aren’t Supposed To Say This 😭😂

That moment of silence? It was the most important thing in my career. Getting started is everything. Everything else fixes itself. It's a snowball effect, but you gotta start rolling. full episode on Smoke and Ice Podcast - https://youtu.be/V82uSMFLQZ8?is=C8BS1xqbgCFXCWfB

Remember when we were kids singing songs we had absolutely no business singing? 😂
At 13 years old I thought Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love To You” was just a sweet love song… so naturally I started singing it to my girlfriend Ebony over the cordless house phone.
The problem?
I had NO idea what the lyrics actually meant. 😭

My son played youth football.
The problem was… he wasn’t very good. 😂
One game he broke the huddle and lined up with the OTHER team.
The dads in the stands lost their minds.
I had two choices:
Defend my son.
Pretend I didn’t know him.
I chose survival. 🤣🏈
