3:10
i like your boy wrong way out come on
3:13
not now because of the roanoke but we
3:14
were
3:17
all right i love it man uh jay farrell
3:19
is here eight eight eight seven four two
3:21
three three four five bills do you want
3:23
to jump in yeah i did because
3:25
when jay got disconnected you started
3:27
breaking down and talking about some
3:28
information about simone biles and jay
3:31
she's been on our hearts and our minds
3:33
this morning and i was one and i said
3:35
for us
3:35
we can't really comment about it because
3:37
none of us are
3:39
olympic athletes none of us are doing
3:42
what they do
3:43
and i extend the same to you because i'm
3:45
not a comedian i have no idea and it
3:48
would scare the life out of me to have
3:50
to get on stage with a microphone
3:52
in front of thousands of people and
3:54
millions of people and
3:55
make try to make them laugh how if
3:58
you've ever had to deal
3:59
with it mentally how how did you deal
4:02
with it before walking out on stage or
4:04
getting yourself mentally ready for a
4:06
big show
4:07
or a special on audition how did you
4:09
deal with it as a comedian
4:12
well i mean for me it's just um uh
4:15
you know i get nervous i get nervous
4:17
before every show and
4:18
uh you know charlie murphy said he said
4:21
it the best he was like yo if you
4:23
if you're not nervous then you ain't
4:25
nothing you know because
4:26
your nervousness is an implication that
4:28
you still care about your craft
4:30
so with me like right before i go on i
4:33
just uh
4:34
you know normally i'm just i'm just in
4:37
my zone i'll be
4:39
i'll sometimes i'll walk sometimes i
4:41
might walk in the back
4:42
pace pace a little bit and then just
4:44
come chill go to the side
4:46
like peep out you know peep out the
4:48
crowd and and just uh
4:50
you know i mentally i just mentally put
4:52
myself in that place and i pray
4:54
i pray i pray before i go on stage and
4:57
that really that really does help i just
4:59
say
5:00
i just ask the lord you know i mean help
5:02
me you know help me while i'm on that
5:03
stage you know just allow me to bring
5:05
the best um
5:07
my best self to the people allow me to
5:09
connect with them immediately you know
5:11
allow me to
5:12
you know allow me to uplift them and and
5:14
you know um
5:15
make them forget about whatever they're
5:17
going through because that's my job so
5:19
allow me to do my job in the most
5:20
efficient way
5:22
and uh and that that centers me it
5:25
grounds me and i get up on that stage
5:26
and it's uh
5:28
yeah it's different it's um you know
5:31
it's fun and i'm doing what i'm supposed
5:32
to do so yeah you got to get you
5:35
mentally you have to be
5:37
in a good place before you do anything
5:39
so
5:40
i can definitely understand um simone on
5:43
bio's plight and
5:45
you know uh definitely praying for it
5:47
because you know you don't want to you
5:48
don't want to do a backflip
5:50
and like you're saying you're not
5:52
connected uh
5:53
you're not connected mentally and then
5:55
you know you don't land it the way you
5:57
don't stick it the way that you're
5:58
supposed to
5:59
you know you don't get that everybody
6:01
don't give you a 10
6:02
you know what i mean they give you you
6:04
get points down you don't want to mess
6:06
up you just want to be your best self so
6:08
whatever you need to um to do that
6:12
you know as an artist you should be able
6:14
to take that time to do so
6:16
and if people people respect your work
6:18
and your craft they should understand
6:20
and they should accept it as well right
6:23
so
6:24
amen i'm curious jay how do you
6:28
how do you discern between if this is a
6:32
time where you have to push through and
6:34
hustle
6:35
or take a break like you know there's a
6:37
thin line between guarding your piece
6:40
and avoiding your growth so how do you
6:42
know which
6:43
route to take i mean usually you just
6:48
i mean you know you go with your you go
6:50
with your gut you know you go with your
6:52
gut you go with that small voice
6:54
um in your head you know when you and
6:57
you really just
6:58
i mean you gotta look you definitely
6:59
gotta look
7:01
i mean you definitely gotta look at your
7:03
funds and everything you know you can't
7:06
you can't not uh you can't not work if
7:08
if you
7:09
if you're going broke you know you're
7:11
gonna have to you're gonna have to put
7:12
something in the pot or
7:13
you're gonna have to start a only fans
7:14
account you know what i'm saying so
7:16
you guys okay don't nobody okay don't
7:20
nobody
7:20
think about the only fans
7:26
but really though it's just all about
7:28
it's just all about going with your gut
7:30
i mean i know there's a thin line
7:31
between it but
7:33
at the end of the day you know you just
7:35
got to do
7:36
you got to do what's best for you and
7:38
you got to trust your instincts so you
7:39
just trust in your instincts i believe
7:41
that's jay farrell ladies and gentlemen
7:43
resort to love premiering on the 29th
7:45

7:47

7:52
five greatest of all time stand up

8:03

8:05
bro
8:09
hey and this this is real when i'm the
8:12
litters on the little [ __ ] tour dan i
8:14
didn't even know we could
8:14
i forgot this was uh i forgot this is a
8:17
satellite radio we could curse i've been
8:19
sitting here
8:20
i'm using i've been using my my hardest
8:22
hardwood vocabulary while i'm on this
8:24
job
8:27
i noticed that about you jay i was like
8:29
man this dude is focused he only want a
8:31
joke
8:33
yeah yeah i'm like i'm like hold up i
8:35
was like yeah are we having a real
8:36
conversation oh y'all y'all ain't fit to
8:38
take a clip i said and flip it oh no
8:43
already got it though don't worry about
8:44
that
8:46
but but back to what you're saying man
8:48
uh martin definitely man he's one of the
8:51
he's one of the goats and and being on
8:53
that sword dude and just
8:54
uh that's another thing you're saying
8:56
being in your zone and
8:58
and knowing when you need to do
8:59
something and knowing when you don't
9:00
need to do something
9:01
you know what i mean like like it was a
9:03
question for me
9:04
like yo should i yo am i ready for these
9:06
big stages you know these arenas that
9:08
they're doing but
9:10
you know you you know uh the first show
9:12
i did with them was in oakland
9:14
and you know i was like dawg this is the
9:16
litters [ __ ] tour so i gotta keep my
9:18
foot on it next
9:20
at the oracle center um
9:23
went in there and dude got a standing
9:25
ovation bro
9:26
standing over bro so it's like
9:30
you focus dog focus you got to pace out
9:33
your jokes though you got to pace them
9:34
out because
9:35
the crowd hears them differently when
9:37
you're in a comedy club you right there
9:39
they're getting it right there but when
9:42
you when you got like
9:43
20 000 people in an arena you got to
9:46
space out your jokes because everybody's
9:48
not hearing them
9:49
at the same time so you just gotta make
9:51
sure you pace yourself
9:53
and um i learned about that i learned
9:55
about that doing the uh
9:57
uh the what is that what is that dave
9:59
chapel dave chappelle tour eyeball
10:01
eyeball offense
10:02
when they did eyeball like um the
10:05
yearbook you know i learned i learned
10:06
there that you got to pace out your
10:08
jokes and then when i got on the martin
10:09
tour
10:10
i really i really put that into action
10:12
and man those shows are
10:14
those shows uh i don't want to sound
10:15
corny but they are lit as [ __ ]
10:17
they really are and uh it's been um it's
10:21
been nothing but a positive uh
10:23
experience for me personally every
10:25
comedian don't get that a couple of them
10:27
a couple of them ain't survive it you
10:29
know what i mean but we gonna talk about
10:31
that we're not gonna shade them
10:32
but um you know you put on the armor
10:36
whatever you put on the armor and you go
10:38
in there and you you go to work
10:40
and y'all it's about going to work man
10:43
and i can't wait for it to start back up
10:45
again because i got new [ __ ]
10:47
and man it's news you ready you ready
10:54
baby let's get them i'm there up there
10:56
i'm carrying your bags
11:09
yeah look and hopefully you know hand
11:11
the guy bro i see it happening i see the
11:14
transition happening
11:15
mark my words way i feel like i feel
11:18
like i'm on i'm on one level
11:20
and there's another level right before
11:22
but i'm gonna break
11:23
through that next level i don't even i'm
11:26
gonna break through that next level and
11:27
just shoot to the one
11:29
above that one i'm dead ass it's going
11:30
it's fitting to happen it's happening
11:32
now man i like that clap that up you see
11:34
that
11:35
this is you gonna manifest that i like
11:38
that you got it jay you got all the
11:39
tools brother
11:40
that's from me to you you got all the
11:42
tools db you wanted to jump in
11:45
yeah yeah jay man how you doing it's
11:46
good to have you back on the show and um
11:48
i wanted to sort of uh roll off of what
11:51
you just said
11:52
in the comments you made about learning
11:54
how to pace yourself space out the jokes
11:56
when you're doing live stand up
11:57
depending on the venue
11:58
and how i guess something like that
12:00
would apply
12:01
in acting because you've got you've got
12:03
enough credits on your resume now
12:05
that i was wondering what was something
12:07
vital as far as
12:09
learning acting in movies and that sort
12:11
of thing where maybe it was like
12:13
doing jokes because you're not
12:15
performing in front of a live audience
12:16
but you needed to
12:17
the timing to be right or you need you
12:19
know the moment to not be
12:21
so rushed so what was something about
12:23
the uh your acting career
12:25
that you learned that helped you take it
12:26
to the next level
12:28
it was something about my acting career
12:30
learn to take it to the next level
12:32
um uh you gotta underst
12:35
it's the same like this is the same it's
12:37
the same formula man it's just
12:40
um you know when you're doing
12:43
i would say live television versus
12:45
versus doing a movie
12:46
right so live television you got to make
12:49
sure
12:49
you know it's it's it's constant it's
12:51
it's live you gotta you know you're
12:53
reading you're constantly going
12:55
when you're doing a movie you got you
12:58
can take your
12:59
you can take your time you can take it
13:01
especially like with jokes and things of
13:03
that sort
13:04
and it's you to make them fit your
13:06
character and that's something
13:08
that's something that will always um
13:11
that's something i will always work in
13:12
movies
13:13
if you do improv or something but you're
13:15
in that character
13:16
and it makes sense then the audience
13:18
will laugh at it
13:20
and you know me luckily i had you know i
13:23
had
13:24
oh damn yeah you heard it you heard it
13:28
today yo it's improving like his phone
13:31
is just going
13:32
to profit
13:36
[Music]
13:45
yeah right should we just play the
13:48
mickey facts freestyle again you want to
13:50
