Yeah, just went straight Custy the Clown.
All right.
I love it.
I love it.
Give us the backstory.
Give us the origin story, Brian Simpson.
Where are you from?
OK, I was born in Washington, DC.
All right.
Put into foster care in Maryland, which
is right next to the city.
Really?
I didn't know this.
Yeah, I was six.
Wow.
No kidding.
Yeah, and then when I was 11, I got taken out of foster care,
moved in with my dad.
OK.
And then when I was 13, I got put back in the foster care.
Yikes.
Yeah, and then I bounced around until I dropped out of high school.
I joined the Marine Corps.
Really?
I did not know this.
I didn't know that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I moved to California.
Holy shit.
Started being encouraged to do stand up,
was too pussy.
Okay.
Got out the Marine Corps, worked at Intel
for a little while up in there in Portland there.
Okay. Then I left Portland, moved back home, worked at at Intel for a little while up in Portland there. Okay.
Then I left Portland, moved back home, worked at the Pentagon for a little while, got laid
off.
What?
No shit.
Yeah, moved back to California.
This kid's been all over the fucking place.
Yeah, went to try to go into school, started taking philosophy.
Okay.
And tried standing up for the first time and then that kind of made me drop out of school.
That took off then there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Holy shit. Any brothers and sisters or was it just you? out of school. That took off then there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Holy shit.
Any brothers and sisters or was it just you?
No, I got lots of brothers and sisters.
You have lots of brothers, but you guys were all broken up.
Yeah.
And how was the foster care situation?
The first one, were they good people,
were they cool deer or was it a bad situation?
The first one, no, the first one was dope.
What happened at six that happened?
That you had to foster care?
So my biological mom had disappeared
and left us with her mother.
Okay.
Okay, so you were with your grandmother.
Right. Gotcha.
And then that was right when they started
giving the fuck about lots of key kids or whatever.
We had a nosy ass neighbor there.
Sure.
Somebody better watch these kids.
Yeah, she called the cops and we got taken from her.
Jesus.
And we got put with a...
How many kids were there at that time?
Just two of us.
Just two of you.
We got put with an auntie and our auntie already had two kids.
So it became like we got to look for somewhere for them to be.
So then we ended up going with his...
Because he and I had different dads, we went with his dad's mom,
because she was already a foster parent.
Okay, all right.
So you're relatively in the family a little bit.
No, not really.
I was trying to give it silver lining there.
That's his grandmother.
If you think it's hard for a stepchild,
imagine being a stepgrandchild.
Yeah, grandchild.
Yeah, ain't no, there's no love there.
So it was that kind of thing.
And then my biological dad popped up and took me out of it.
Okay.
But my brother's not his son, so he didn't take him.
So that's when we got split up.
You know, and then he was like,
oh, this motherfucker, I can't handle this motherfucker.
Sure, all right, so how, you said at 13,
you met him, he pulled you out?
No, actually, no, that's wrong, at 11. At 11, he pulled you out. Yeah, it was 11. And kept you till you were 13, then you him, he pulled you out? No, actually no, that's wrong, at 11.
At 11 he pulled you out.
Yeah, I was 11.
And kept you until you were 13,
then you went back into Foster.
Did you go back to the same house,
or was it a different situation?
No, no, totally different situation.
And your brother was out of the picture?
Right, because the first time was DC Foster kid.
The second time was Maryland's Foster kid.
Different situation.
And how was that family?
The first one was cool too, the first one was cool, too. The first one was cool.
The first few, actually, most of them was cool people.
They were nice.
But, you know, and the crazy ones, I just rebelled, like the ones I didn't like.
How often were you switching?
I never lived anywhere longer than a year and a half.
No, man. What the fuck?
Damn, that's crazy.
Are you still talk to your brother now?
Are you guys? Yeah.
Cool. Everything's good. Yeah, I mean, your brother now you guys? Yeah, cool. Everything's good
Yeah, I mean, you know, we all grown up. Yeah, I mean everybody that survived is
Going pretty good. What how many brothers and sisters total how many siblings?
Seven, okay
Not say mom and dad different mom different dad said or accept different mom different dad. Okay
Would do they take you on vacation and shit as a kid?
Would you do stuff like that? Or was it pretty brutal?
Oh, like come get you out of the foster home
and go on vacation with everybody?
No, no. Would the foster care families take you on vacation?
Oh, yeah. I mean, it depends on the family.
Right. Some people, it was just like,
you're being warehoused. You know what I mean?
Like, you're being stuffed in.
You're just being shelved here Yeah, Jesus
And so it really depends on like the more you get moved around
The harder it is to find somewhere for you to go because right right?
I was like what the fuck happened why I keep moving yeah, so you get good labeled like a problem child when you would rebel
What would that look like what would you do? I would just use the only power every kid has is like no fuck you
Nope fuck you make me you fuck you, make me.
You know what I mean?
It was that.
Uh-huh.
Damn.
Yeah, I'm like one guy, it was this one home,
one of the few that had both parents.
Uh-huh.
And the dad used to have this paper route.
Okay.
And so when I first got there,
like literally my first day there, it was like, you know, Sunday morning, come around,. And so when I first got there, like literally my first day
there, it was like Sunday morning, come around.
And I hear the whistle from the top of the stairs.
And all the other kids hop up, get dressed, come on, let's go.
But we got this long ass paper route.
We were all like putting together the newspapers.
Thought I was about to get a truck.
And then at the end of that day, I'm like, so.
Where's my cut?
No, right.
It wasn't even that, but I was more like, hey, can I get a juicy from the store? You know, it'm like, so, uh. Where's my cut? No, right. Well, it wasn't even that, but I was more like,
hey, can I get a Juicy from the store?
You know, it was like, where you gonna get that from?
I'm like, well, I just figured since we helped you
make money.
Spread the wealth, Daddy-o.
And it turned into, he was like, no, that's not how it works.
That's your chores.
I'm like, that shit might work on all the kids.
Yeah, your chores should be getting him paid.
How many kids were in that foster house at that time?
Probably six. So it's not like I always had the assumption that
foster a foster home was you had a wife and a husband or wife
that took foster kids in and treated them as if they were
their family. No, that's called an adoption. Foster family Okay. Foster family sees more like he's starting a business.
Yeah.
So he had six kids in there
and he was making them do his paper route.
Yeah.
And keeping the money.
Yeah, and then the next day, he woke everybody up
and I didn't go.
Like he kept calling down the stairs
and I was like, fuck you.
You know, and it turned into this whole thing.
I'm like, nah, like I know. You know, and that was before I read Marx or anything.
I'm just like.
Before I read Marx.
God damn, dude.
I was just like, I'm not fucking.
Yeah, I'm not getting him.
Taxation without representation.
And he wouldn't give you kids any money.
He wouldn't give you an allowance or anything.
He wouldn't even give me any money, but not only would he not give me money, but he wouldn't
even buy my damn 99 cent juice. Sure. So. So I'm like, oh nah, fuck that. What was what was dinner like at like that house specifically?
Oh dinner was great because the mom was a chef. Okay. Like she was a she was a chef at a
Resort. Okay, so she was cool. Yeah, she was hella cool. Okay. She was a little religious. Gotcha
I feel like a lot of them are sometimes
Yeah, the stories I've heard
Yeah, but they was she would they would make you guys would sit down as a family and have dinner no no
Because you couldn't make these you gotta send these at the kind of kids you can make do stuff
Sure, you know me it's more like a look were the kids worse than you like like when you're acting out, with like some bad... Every single one of them.
Really?
Did you have your own room?
No, absolutely not.
How many kids were in your room?
That'd be a big fucking house.
I mean, the most kids I was ever in one room with was three.
Bunk beds?
Yeah, bunk beds.
Were you able to put like posters and shit up on the wall
and make it your own?
Depends on where you at.
Yeah. Man.
You know, the rules are different,
the dynamic was different from place to place.
And what was the two years with your dad like?
Where was that?
What you mean where?
You mean like what, a city?
Yeah.
That's in Maryland.
Maryland.
Was it like, what was it, were you guys in an apartment?
Well, actually some was in an apartment,
some was in a, I forget what you call it, like a duplex.
Gotcha. How many times did you say you moved in your entire childhood?
You know I've counted before but definitely well over 13
Probably 16 something like that
What would the holidays be like in the end in like that in that specific foster house?
But they do like Christmas and shit like that and get your presents. Some places did, you know, was there any place?
What was the place where you were like, this is dope?
Like they had fucking snacks.
No, but see, that's the thing about your kid brain.
Right. Is I never thought any of them was dope.
The ones I'm telling you is dope is is my 40 year old looking back
and hindsight going, man, that wasn't that bad.
Boys. Yeah. But as a kid, I just like you'll tell me tell me one thing.
Tell me one lie. And I'm and I'm not fucking with you.
Tell me one. You know an adult loved a lot of kids. Sure. Right. When it's like
when it's a conversation that they're not comfortable having or whatever you know
they'll tell you the microwave runs from magic dwarfs or some shit.
As soon as you said some kind of dismissive kids hit me like that You were out you it was just gonna be impossible for you to get me to do anything. I got you to trust them
Yeah, what about like what your birthdays and stuff like that would they get you a birthday cake and birthday presents some places?
Well, that's what that's where I kind of went to despise those kind of things mandatory fun
Yeah, not like we're celebrating this type thing Yeah, because it's like cuz they like what you want for your birthday to be left the fuck alone to despise those kind of things. Mandatory fun. Yeah. Nah, fuck that.
Like, we're celebrating this type thing.
Yeah, because it's like,
because they're like, what'd you want for your birthday?
To be left the fuck alone?
I would love to just-
This guy's an old soul, dude.

What's that, a bookmark?
I would love to have a carafe of-
Red wine.

No, I've picked up on that.
But I'm not angry, I'm just very,
I don't have room for nonsense.
You're very thoughtful, you're very deep,
even in your standup, You're very thoughtful. You're very deep. Even in your stand up is very like, you know,
it's very thoughtful and slow rolling and put together.
Do you think you learned to hate that kind of stuff
because of the situation you were in?
Oh yeah, for sure.
Like if it would have been your mom and dad,
everybody wants a birthday cake.
But I think it was just a way of dealing with it.
Right.
The situation.
Think about it.
Like they got that Buddha shit, right?
And it was like, they invented that shit
when ain't nobody have shit.
So then their religion was, well, having shit is evil.
You know what I mean?
You ain't supposed to want shit.
Trying to come up with that shit now
when you got fucking Xbox.
Exactly.
It just so happens.
Shit's awesome.
Now I want that shit.
Those of us that don't have shit are going to heaven, guys.
All these ones.
Pets, buddy.
Okay.

but never none that belonged to me specifically.
Gotcha.
What did you, when you made the move from house to house,
what were you take, what were your belongings?
Did you have like toys and shit,
or was it just like a bag full of clothes
and you're on your way? Sometimes I would just leave it all. Oh shit. Yeah, you have a bag and shit or was it just like a bag full of clothes and you're on your way?
I was sometimes I would just leave it all. Oh shit
You have a bag of clothes or whatever, but I didn't have no sentimental attachment to shit for real
Which I'm starting to regret now sure, you know cuz now every night, you know now
I'm old enough to have had long time friends and shit
You know, they'll send me a picture or something from 20 years ago and I'm like, oh damn I ain't even take no piss damn, you know, but whatever
Did you like action cold is ice? Did you did you have toys as a kid? Yeah. Yeah, I like the action figures

Then they renege the first like my memory my very first foster home. They got I actually came there on
Christmas damn and
And they hadn't they hadn't had time to buy me shit, uh-huh
So they so I pictured him talking to me.
No, no, he ain't gonna buy me shit, I'm chilling.
But they had a Super Nintendo that they had bought
for the house, and they just gave it to me.
Because, you know, and I guess their reasoning was,
well, we gonna give it to, you know, they gonna all play.
It's gonna be in there.
They gonna all play.
Way, well, well, but.
You get defensive over that?
Well, for me, I'm just like, okay, well if it's mine,

you know, she tried to play it back, like,
well no, I didn't say it was yours, yours.
And I'm like, mm, yes she did, bitch.
But that's okay.
Because now I'm not gonna believe anything you say.
Uh-huh.

Back to the show.
It's quite the origins story.
How were the grades in school?
Were you a good student?
I was a good student if my teacher gave a fuck.
Okay.
If my teacher had passion, I was locked in.
Alright.
No matter what the subject was.
How many schools did you go to?
Yeah, are you jumping schools every time
or are you staying in the area?
So many, I went to a couple twice.
No shit.
Like O'Brien's back.
Yeah, I mean I went to, I switched schools a lot.
How was that with making friends and shit like that?
It had to be hard.
Getting any fights?
I just didn't make, I got in fights all the time.
Yeah. And that was part of, but that was Getting any fights? I just didn't make, I got in fights all the time. Yeah.
But that was part of the problem, right?
Because conventional wisdom is,
you know, well I don't know how y'all was raised,
but y'all from Philly, so I'm guessing, you know,
you was told, hey, if somebody fucked with you.
Hit them.
You gotta handle your business right then.
You can't let it slide,
because it's gonna keep going, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the problem with that is,
when you're a new kid, you know, people gonna try to test you.
So you're new because you just got kicked out
of the last place, right?
And so they don't know if you get in any trouble,
even if it's one that like,
don't get you suspended or whatever,
that could mean you out of this home
because you just got in trouble.
So it's like the first time they fuck with you,
you gotta choose, are you gonna let it slide so so it's like the first time they fuck with you. You got to choose. Are you going to let it slide?
So you so you can stay in the home you win. Mm hmm.
Or but then it's going to keep getting worse and worse and worse.
Yeah. So like, are you going to let it slide
or are you going to handle your business that day and risk?
You know, you getting packed up.
What did you tend to do?
I tended to let it slide until I just couldn't.
And then I'm a fucking explode sure damn
But but that taught me like discipline. Yeah, it taught me that like
You know to be more psycho analyzing
Of bullies and shit most of the time they just scared us on sure sure
In their head you are why I'm crying
Yeah, doing that cuz you got a little dick
in their head you are why I'm crying yeah yeah doing that cuz you got a little dick what that's what I learned that that whole trickle like putting vizine
and people's drinks to make them shit themselves that's real dangerous shit
that won't work how did you wait you've done that no but I but I looked it up
like it's other ways to get revenge rather than getting them getting in the
fist why did you bring up the fightizines? Putting a bunch of spiders in some kid's locker?
Yeah, but vizines as a prank and a drink, don't do that.
Yeah, it can be very dangerous, right?
It can be super dangerous.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, you better all just use an x-lax or something.
Yeah, I think they're not shitting their intestines out
or something.
Jesus.
OK.
What was your first job, aside from that bullshit paper?
Yeah, my first job was, it's kind of blurry, but it was either
the bakery at the grocery store or the soul food restaurant up the street.
I can't remember which one I did first, but I quit both.
And where were you living then?
Is this in Maryland?
This? Yeah, I was living in.
I was living in Maryland right on the border with D.C.
OK. I forget what the name of the street.
And how old were you?
Probably 15 or 15. You're in a new foster home. Right. You get a job. Yeah. Bakery, grocery store. What was the name of the grocery store? Giant. You worked at a
giant. Shout out to giant. Alright. Pretty good. Uh-huh. So no pets that you could claim
your own. You never had like...... No, I have pets now.
Sure, but never growing up a fish tank
or anything like that.
I mean, yeah, no, we had pets, but they weren't mine.
They weren't yours.
Just like that Super Nintendo wasn't mine.
Lying bitch.
You obviously like that one.
I love it.
Okay, and then you joined the Marines.
You didn't graduate high school.
No.
Okay, but the grades were good when you applied yourself. No, oh right, right, yeah, when I applied myself. you're in the Marines. Mm hmm. You didn't graduate high school.
No. Okay. But the grades were
good when you applied yourself.
No. Oh, right, right. Yeah,
when I applied myself. Did you
take the SATs? I did. What'd
you get on them? I don't
remember. I imagine you
probably did pretty good. Yeah,
I don't remember what I got
because I know that I already
questioned the whole test and
**** you know what I mean?
Because I didn't have a
calculator so I I I just flew through the math. Uh-huh gotcha
But I think I did pretty good for not having a calculator and then you join the core
What year is that that you that you join what age are you?
18 and I is 2001 2001 yeah yikes
Okay, I joined in early 2000 before not to be free 9-eleven. Yeah. I joined in early 2000 before 9-11.
So it'll be pre-9-11. Yeah, I joined in March.
Okay, and then where did you...
That's a curveball.
Where were you stationed for that and what did you do in the Marines?
I was an Air Operations Module Technician.
What does that mean?
It means...
You're putting the bombs on the plane? No, no, no, no, no, no. It means that I was responsible for the data
being transferred from our radars
to where they control the combat flights.
Okay.
So basically like,
you know what air traffic control does?
Yeah.
They like, planes take off and they leave,
and that's it, right?
So they control you when you're near an airport.
But during combat you get passed off to someone else.
Like once you're off the ground, other people are telling the planes where to be and like
where to drop stuff and where to ref-
And you were the combat guy?
No, no, no, no.
I was the guy that fixed the equipment.
All that stuff. I didn't talk to people. Gotcha.
And the Marines taught you all that stuff.
Yeah, but now none of that shit.
They don't use none of that shit.
It's probably all obsolete.
It's obsolete. 2001.
Yeah, when they figured out some,
now it's all like a laptop.
And we always we had like four vans to do the same shit.
Now they got it all on our laptop.
Damn. And then you're in the Marines for how long?
Five years. For five years. And then you're in the Marines for how long? Five years.
For five years.
And then how'd you get the job at the Pentagon?
And when you said Intel, Intel the company
or Intel like intelligence?
No, the company.
Okay.
Yeah, same thing.
I already had a security clearance
and it was a headhunter.
No kidding.
Got me the job.
Damn.
What were you doing at the CIA?
I wasn't at the CIA.
The Pentagon. The Pentagon, I'm sorry. No. Maybe you were, I't really job. Damn. Yeah. What were you doing at the CIA? Pentagon, I'm sorry
Maybe you were I don't know it was the same thing. I was just a technician just attack on shit
Yeah, I like like I did I kept like, you know, he's gonna have to kill me now
Server rooms cold the right temperature. Yeah, yeah shit like that. You had security clearance. Yeah, that's pretty
So I had a regular like basically if not for the security clearance like Yeah. That's pretty good. So I had a regular, like basically,
if not for the security clearance,
anybody could have done the job.
Yeah, OK, I got you.
But that's why you got recruited,
was it because of the security clearance?
Right.
What level was that?
What level was the security clearance?
I had a secret security clearance.
Sounds pretty good.
What's a job like that pay, pretty good?
Yeah.
Yeah, I's a good cash
I think when I left this is in 2006 or seven. I think I was making
$28 an hour something's pretty good
Okay, and when you were so you're back in the Pentagon
Are you kind of around where you know was your family around you and stuff like that a little bit or were you kind of?
Yeah, my family kind of everyone was around
Everybody's grown up. You're what what is your brother do now?
Well one brother
Brothers are all doing different shit. Okay. Yeah
One of my brothers has like a regular
Like he has a government job. I forget what it is like. Okay. Security details or something like that.
Everyone's doing well? Doing okay?
Yeah, I mean, some people in prison.
Okay.
Um, you know, some people just got kids.
Gotcha.
Living regular life.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
It's a wild upbringing, bro.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
You remember any of your high school mascots?
Um, yeah, I remember we had we had, one of them was,
I went to this high school called Cross
and the mascot was a cavalier.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
Which is just a fucking.
It's a dude on a horse, right?
A fashionable pirate, I guess.
Yeah.
A fashionable pirate.
It's a pirate a couple of bucks on him.
Did you play any sports in high school?
I think I went to Oxen Hill. I want to say that was a was that a Hoya?
No, that was Georgetown.
Yeah, George has the Hoyas.
It was a tiger. OK. OK.
I wrestled for a little while. OK.
Yeah. But that, you know, that's too much commitment.
How did you do in basic training?
What you mean? You hate rules.
You hate authority like you throw it. Sure, that's a good point.
Yeah, how was that?
Flawless.
Flawless.
I finished basic training.
I was the head recruit at the end.
No shit.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Take the gun apart and all that kind of stuff?
I was the guide.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I did OK.
Because I'm not a.
This is Paris Island we're talking about, right?
Yeah, this is Paris Island.
OK.
Yeah, but I did OK in basic training.
I mean, because I don't have an inherent problem
with authority, but all authority is not
worthy of your attention.
Sure.
Of your obedience.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Good drill instructor, good guy.
Yeah, two of them were great people.
One of them was a giant piece of shit.
Lied to me about Nintendo. Yeah, and the thing too is like, you know, but what I, what I also, because also what
I found is a lot of times those people just get what they, they just get what they get.
They get what they deserve coming, you know, you don't even have to do nothing most of
the time.
Okay, sure.
People that live like pieces of shit.
Comes back around at some point.
It usually does.
Very Machiavellian of you.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I ain't talking about like supernaturally like karma or none of that.
I don't count on that shit either. I'm talking about.
Hit by a bus. Like they just literally they're drawing negative shit to them.
Sure, no. Yeah, I agree.
How old were you when you got your passport?
When I got my marine card. That makes sense.
They give you a passport to the Marines. No kidding.
Yeah, you have to have it to travel. Makes sense. I never thought of that. Can't be going to war without a passport in the Marines. Uh-huh. No kidding Yeah, you have to have it to travel. Oh, yeah
I never thought of that. You can't be going to war without a passport
You gotta save that shit when you get to Kuwait
Do you think they check your pet? Do they check your passport with you if you go overseas for the military?
They're supposed to. No kidding. Don't you fly out regularly sometimes?
Or like are you know, like how did you get to? Like leave the country? Yeah
Yeah, you fly out. Yeah, but they still they still check your passport. Did you go did you get to like leave the country? Yeah. Yeah. You fly out.
Yeah, but they still they still check your passport.
Did you go anywhere for the Marines out of the country?
Yeah. Where'd you go? I went to Iraq.
You did. You were in Iraq twice.
No shit. Yeah, we went via some other countries like Belgium or some shit.
Did you fly like a Delta flight to Belgium and then to Iraq? Right.
Yeah. So you did two tours.
Yeah, I did two tours. You did two tours in in Iraq yeah, but but I don't have a dangerous job
I know but what the fuck Iraq it's you still sitting next to a guy to fly. It's not Wisconsin
Yeah, dude, that's fucking crazy. He's like I'm going for business. What are you doing? I got war
Wait you did you flew on a regular commercial flight you to leave like a base or something to leave here
You do and then but to go there it's a regular military plane. You like fly to Belgium
like with somebody going for holiday. You like fly to Amsterdam. No no no the whole
plane is us. Oh yeah yeah no no it's not you're not like booking a flight. Excuse me sir that's
my seat. I'm about to go shoot somebody. No, no, no, no, no. It's a regular flight.
But it's it's got you.
But then you fly them.
You plan a regular plane.
Gotcha. Gotcha. To a regular place.
And then you fly and you get on that.
Then you go to the military base. Right.
Were the tours back to back or did you come home for a little while
and then go back and home for a little while?
And how was that?
How was that experience over there?
What years is this?
This is 2003.
Yeah, I think the fucking shit.
And then 2004.
And what were you living in over there?
The first time we were living in a tent
and the second time we were living in a.
Auto base.
Unlike an air on like an air base.
Well, eventually become an air base. Yeah. Yikes., and was it when you got there? It was just dirt fucking tense
Yeah
And then took over the mall and turn it in but I mean we transformed some shit real quick
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we have the best people like I don't think there's anyone in the world that's
Can build like those engineers get in there and we have to see. We have C.B.s.
Of course. Yeah.
So the C.B.s don't fucking play no games. Yeah.
Hell yeah. So they built the airstrip and all that stuff.
They'll build anything.
Damn. And they'll build. They'll do that shit quick. Damn.
That's pretty cool.
My dad was in the Navy and he always had the C.B.s.
There was a sticker and it was the coolest sticker ever.
It was like a bee and he was like a strong. He was like, yeah, yeah. Cock.'s. There was a sticker and it was the coolest sticker ever.
It was like a B and he was like, it's like a strong way.
Yeah, yeah. He was cocked up and he was spitting bolts out of his stinger.
And I remember that's the coolest thing I ever seen in my life.
That's when they explained to me what the what the C.B.'s were.
What was it? What was the what kind of planes were you dealing with?
Was it helicopters and regular and like fighter jets or to me? It was used all all of them. Oh, I wasn't dealing with no
I know but but what were you working with? Oh, yeah, everything everything
Yeah, and those point with those planes on the base that you were stationed at. Oh
Just a number to him there he's big equipment
I was just very much not never interested in more than like what I what you were doing. Yeah
How was the tent situation?
Was it brutal? Was it? Yeah.
It was brutal, man. 100 degree.
Ah, no AC.
Well, you had AC, but sometimes the AC would overheat, you know,
let it get too hot.
The AC don't do shit for you.
How many guys were you in the tent with? Um.
At that time, it was probably 20 of us.
Yikes.
Damn, two tours in Iraq.
Then you get out of that, then you get the job at Intel.
Yeah.
And then that was in where?
That was in Portland.
That was in Portland.
So you live in Portland.
Yeah.
By yourself in an apartment?
Yeah.
You got your own place?
How did you get that job?
How'd you land in?
Headhunter.
Headhunter, and then they're like, this is in Portland,
so you're like, I'll take it and went to Portland.
Actually, they recruited me.
Like, they, somebody tells them who's about to get out.
No shit.
No kidding.
And they like, they call you and like,
when you have like a tech, if you had a tech job,
I don't think they can do it anymore.
But back then, if you had a tech job,
at least somebody would call you.
I'm like, hey, we need we have these positions in this city.
Yeah, because they, you know, the headhunters get paid to go find people.
Yeah. And when did you start doing comedy? Was it in Portland?
No, no, I didn't start doing comedy till 2011.
OK. And you were where?
I was in San Diego. San Diego.
What were you doing there?
Going to school, growing weed. What school?
Right. The community, whatever the community college was. What were you doing there? Going to school, growing weed. What school?
Whatever the community college was.
So at that point you're what?
You're 20...
24? No, I'm 20.
I'm 26.
And how did you pick San Diego?
Because that's where I was stationed.
So that's where a lot of. Gotcha. You're 26.
And that's where a lot of the homies was.
Going to community college.
And what was the major?
Did you have a major picked out?
Philosophy.
That's the philosophy class and you're growing weed.
Right, I'm helping grow weed.
Helping grow weed.
Like at the house or like for the grow operation?
At the crib.
At the crib.
Well, I was living at the grow house.
Where they were, okay.
Okay.
That's what we were looking for.
Were you making good money doing that?
No, I was terrible.
I think that shit's so stupid.
I can't,
cause I can't do things where it's like,
like it's too much of a feel to it.
It's not an exact.
Science.
Gotcha.
You know?
Gotcha.
And how was the cash situation at that time?
Were you able to save up a bunch of money being in the Marines?
Because you don't have a chance to spend it or no?
No, I probably had the chance to save up money,
but I didn't save anything.
Gotcha.
No, I was very poor when I started doing comedy.
I mean, I had the GI Bill, so I was doing all right
while I was still in school.
Right, they paid for your school?
Right, they paid for your school, yeah.
Did they give you a little cash, too?
They did, yeah. They gave you a little cash. OK. You know, what about that on?
I don't know. We probably we put books, gas money.
It wasn't like a tremendous amount of cash. Gotcha.
And what was your first car ever? And what age was that?
My first call was a Mazda six to six.
Oh, yeah. We were just talking about them. you know, what was that? My
it wasn't like, hey, I'm going to go get one of the foster parents.
Take our car now.
Yeah, absolutely not.
So how will you how did you get around when you were like 16?
Caught the bus.
Caught the bus.
Busted.
Yeah, caught the bus, walked everywhere.
Do you remember your first concert?
My first concert was,
I think it was the Black Family reunion in D.C.
Nice.
How old were you for that?
I was probably,
I don't know, probably 14.
Did you have friends at this time?
Did you have anybody that you were close with?
Or were you rolling around solo a lot?
No, I mean, I had one friend, but he's dead. Thanks for bringing that up. I
have one friend, yeah, exactly. Okay. Man. Remember who the most famous person you met
growing up was? They didn't even have to be really famous. It could have been like a local
celebrity or a- The first famous person I met was MC Hamlin. No, I'm pretty sure that
I met Ronald Reagan too, but- What you don't remember that working at the Pentagon
I was very you know I was very young and
He you know my school my elementary school was the closest one to the yeah to the White House when he was president
Right and we went on a field trip to his
To Air Force one no shit, and I got caught taking jelly beans out of his chair.
And when I got back to my school,
he had sent a case of jelly beans for school.
So I was a fucking legend.
Damn.
Because I got the whole school jelly beans.
So he heard someone got in trouble
for stealing your jelly beans.
And he was like, yo, fuck that.
Here's a case of jelly beans.
He came to our Christmas play and I was playing Santa Claus and so in my
in my head I may or may not have like walked up like and met him like close up
but I probably didn't okay I love the jelly beans hey Ronald Reagan came to
your school's Christmas play yeah that, that's pretty goddamn sweet.
It's huge, dude.
Do you remember the jelly bean situation?
What were they in?
They were in.
They were in a cup like he had a little cup holder for his chair.
Uh huh. And I want Air Force One on Air Force One.
And I walked away from the tour and grab some of the jelly beans.
Not thinking, you know, this is a present.
He's got plenty of them.
Yeah. Do you remember if they were jelly belly or not? Were they good jelly beans, not thinking, you know. See the president's got plenty of them. Yeah, and they-
Do you remember if they were Jelly Belly or not?
Were they good jelly beans or were they shitty ones?
They had to be good.
No, they were definitely jelly,
they were a specific brand that he likes.
I think it was Jelly Belly.
But he had the assorted joint.
I think he was like-
He had the assorted joints.
He's like, I'm a regular man,
I'll pick through the ones I don't like on my own.
Yeah, he's a man of the people.
Right.
He still run on regular jelly beans.
God damn leader of the free world.
So in my head, he probably came, because they let me keep them.
And in my head, they were like, oh.
Who catches you?
The Secret Service.
Brian, what the fuck?
I thought the teacher somebody got you.
No, no, whoever was giving us a tour, which I'm guessing is the Secret Service.
Yeah, they can't be letting you fuck with his food.
No, no, no, no, no.
And then it was kind of like, just keep it. Like you fuck with his food. They were like, no, no, no, no, no.
And then it was kind of like, just keep it.
Like you got your filthy hands.
I mean, it's open.
You know what I mean?
And obviously I'm not an assassin, but I don't know.
They can't risk it.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I'm guessing when he went to load up, he was like,
where my fucking jelly beans?
And I'm like, oh, this little kid in here took them.
Don't worry. We screamed at him.
Yeah. He was like, a black? And he was like, yeah. He little kid in here took him. Don't worry, we screamed at him. He was like, a black?
And he was like, yeah.
He's like, this is PR champs, PR champs.

I feel like you would remember that if you saw MC Hammer in MC Hammer pants.
Because I feel like he was probably wearing a version of those pants.
Sure.
He didn'trab one.
He definitely didn't have the three fifty seven girls or nothing like that.
Who were you at Six Flags with? My family.
Your family? Yeah. OK.
My dad and my and my stepmom.
Like this was during that two year period.
Got a thirteen year. OK.
Ran an MC Hammer at the amusement park.

You know, but that's when that was before I knew he was he was out of money.
And oh, yeah, because he went at that point to me.
It was just it was still hammer.
In fact, I think I think that that was right after he did the video with the.
OK, didn't him and the others have a song?
Yeah, they did. I can't remember.
It was like must be the money or the on had that career to legit remix something.
It wasn't a hit. Yeah, I can't remember.
Yeah, it was at the tail end. Straight to my feet.
Straight to my feet. It was terrible.
Which how did he lose his money?
He was just spending it, right? He just blew it.
Yeah. So one of the things that he made 35 million or something
one year or in two years.
Taxes, agents, lawyers, all that shit.
And then it's like, you know, that shit is gone so fast.
Whew. Kip, let's talk about disc plate. Oh, shout, all that shit. And then it's like, you know, that shit's gone so fast. Okay, let's talk about this plate.
Oh, shout out to this plate.
What do you use?
What do you use?
The paper posters like a bozo.
I'm an idiot.

seconds to get up.
Talking about fun stuff.
We're talking about Marvel. We're talking about Marvel.
We're talking about Star Wars.
Absolutely fantastic.

including official Bad Friends designs.

and hand signed by their master of production.
Hey, there you go.
Display created a unique, easy, safe magnet
mounting system that only takes 20 seconds.
That's it.
It's easier to set up than looking for the thumbtacks.
I always taped it and always ripped in the corner.
And you're sitting there like a bozo.
Then you got chicks coming over.
You're trying to impress them.
I got a I got a I got a ripped 50 cent poster on my wall.

Okay, that's one place. I don don't smoke. You smoking in the house?
It's a lease.
No, no, no.
Ah, right.
It's a lease.
They don't care if you smoking.
They don't care.
They don't give a shit.
In the lease?
Yeah, they don't care.
They might hate you.
Like a hundred.
Now, they won't.
They don't give a shit.
Especially if they want the car.
They don't.
Because I turned my old one and it was ripped with heaters.
Yeah.
And they really don't give a shit.
So right now in the car, I got an app that like it connects.
Wait, really? It's called a well, they don't sponsor you.
Are you sure you want me to say? No, it's all right.
What is it? Pure. Yeah.
Is it? We have that in the house.
Yeah. So they haven't for your car.
No kid. Wait, what does it somebody explain this right now is bamboo.
So it's like a plug in and you have like a subscription service
and they'll send you you can pick
You know pine cone whatever and they send you different ones. Oh, so it's like a device that's sitting in there. Yes
And you can plug in two smells to each one
Yeah, you can schedule them times to turn on and what intensity and so forth that seems pretty trashy
But I kind of like that real nice real nice
And you can and there's an app that controls them on this one for your car as well
Yeah, like she has the ones going during the day and then at night she changes the descent. It's a different vibe
I kind of that's pretty good. It switches up the vibe on you. Okay. Are you eating in the car?
No, don't eat in the car. No, you know smoking in the car. How do you keep the house?
Are you a pretty are you a pretty tidy guy?
No.
No.
I live in, it's a balance between,
like I like to be right on the edge of chaos.
Okay.
You know?
I know it all too well, my friend.
Like right where, if this gets more out of hand,
This is bad.
I'm gonna need help.
It's a chose a different life.
Right.
But also if everything is spick and span that feels wrong
okay like a sir like about your ones my house is too clean yes like it feels not
lived in what else it feels like now it feels like I gotta be like I don't yeah
you gotta mind your P's and Q's it's not comfortable um you know you're a
successful guy you started making a couple of bucks.
Any stupid purchase that you look at the first big check or the first tour check or whatever.
I didn't need that's fucking stupid.
Hmm. Stupid purchase.
Hmm. I mean, I'm definitely subscribed to a lot of streaming services that I don't use.
Sure. Yeah.
But I don't know. Sure. Yeah.
But I don't know if that's a stupid purchase.
No, no, no, I mean,
because you signed up for something at some point.
I mean, you know, I definitely bought something
that I couldn't afford.
Yeah.
But then there was some kind of mistake
and I ended up getting it for free,
but I still made the stupid decision.
What was it?
I bought a almost $10,000 TV.
Jesus Christ!
Yeah, that counts too.
That's the stupid purchase.
Wait, what was wrong with that you got it for free it
it
So I sign up when I bought it. I signed up for this stores card to buy it
There's their stores credit card right man. That's how they get and then they sent me and then they shipped it
and it was something wrong with it and
They kept giving me to run around about the shipment
and then finally they're like, someone will contact you,
stop contacting us.
And I stopped contacting them.
And then nobody ever contacted me to fix the thing.
And I kept checking when I was gonna have to make a payment
on this credit card and it never charged me.
And then after like a year went by, it like closed itself.
Oh dude, like inactivity or whatever.
Yeah, and so so you just have a do you still have this TV? What does a $10,000 TV look like? And what's broken on it?
Well, it's not broken. That's the thing, but it's not perfect
And and that's what you're paying for you're paying for perfection. I have ten grand. What is it that's not perfect about it?
Well without getting too in the weeds, it, it, it.
Still a case pending on this, it sounds like.
There's still some, there's an NDA involved.
No, it's, but it has some banding problems.
So basically.
What's a banding?
I don't know what that is.
Toby, I'll put it to you like this.
Just sometimes, if the TV, if what's on the screen is supposed to be a certain shade of
gray, it's not an even gray through the whole screen.
Gotcha.
So it's not like a crack running across the screen.
No, it's something that you would not notice.
So you got a $10,000 TV for free?
Yeah.
Alright.
But I didn't plan it I
Bought it when I shouldn't have but now I can afford it
And what how much money what would you think your net worth was at the time when you like is it like was it like fuck?
I got 15 grand and I'm buying a $10,000 TV or was it a little better than that
It was probably like 20 grand
Probably I probably had 20 grand. If you're not worth it. I probably had 20 grand. It was like, I'm fucking ballin'.
And are you that much into TVs?
Or do you play video games on it?
Are you a big video game guy?
I'm a big video game guy, but that's on my computer.
I know my TV just for watching.
Okay.
So are you into the quality of TVs like that?
Or was it just a flex? No, I'm you like into the quality of TVs like that? Yeah. It's like, it was just a flex.
Yeah, I'm very much, no, I'm very much into the quality.

That is a big TV. Is it in the living room?
It was, yeah. Where is it now?
Now it's in my second room.

Yeah, because I don't have company.
So like that, I want to wait.
Sex. So like another bedroom in the house. Yeah.
So what's what's that in the living room?
Now there's no living room.

Man, I don't know.
I know, but it's one of the things like, OK, since, you know, when you're in home,
when you go to Home Depot, it's usually because you're missing something.
Like, you know, I'm just running to the store real quick.
Sure. I mean, I understand.

Like a gentleman, how do you feel about the rotisserie chicken?
You know, I think the rotisserie, a rotisserie is the, it's the most forgivable fat boy activity.
You're not wrong, man.
You know, cause you can smash a whole rotisserie, but you're not judging yourself the way if you smash the whole pizza.
It's all protein, yeah. All protein, baby. I mean, you definitely don't want to film it
and run that footage back,
because then you look fucking disgusting.
But. Sure.
But yeah, rotisserie, I think it's the most guiltless.
Indulgence. Right.
Yeah. But it is crazy work
to just smash a whole rotisserie.
Yeah, it's not bad.
If you eat it right off the spigot,
or what do you call it, the spit, right off Uh-huh that might be a little more judgment. Yeah

a hundred dollars worth of potato salad
and nobody touched it, all right?
And I pulled somebody aside, I was like,
why is anybody eating potato salad?
And they were like, black people don't eat
store bought potato salad, they don't fuck with it.
Nobody touched it.
And here's the thing too, that's kinda not accurate. Black people, it's not that black people don't eat with it. Yeah. Nobody touched it. Yeah, well, cause, and here's the thing too, is like that's kind of not accurate.
Black people, it's not that black people
don't eat store bought potato salad,
