chipped in feet and yellow one yellow sweet doing glorious pranksters let's talk about the show your hostess I'm Kevin Hart's Network right his channel yeah so what does the show consists of it's it's like it's YouTube pranks it's on right everyone that does something stupid and it goes viral we take it and make fun of it brilliant right thank you Kevin Hart how how did this come about Kevin Hart

thing to do right so everyone follow his lead that guys are on some next-level stuff so hardest-working Hustle heart is real every time I turn around there's a poster for like an album a show a special movie yeah there is never there's another Kevin Hart there's like three of them it's like multiplicity I was gonna go to like in multiplicity yeah the quality suffers just really bad it wears like a beanie in the summertime exactly the third one is just Illinois yeah it's got Bologna in its wallet I don't think anyone's getting this reference people see multiplicity multiple times like I did as a kid I did so I still own it a VHS copy of it and I think I bought it I think I have it somewhere can't stop please watch it I know it's not and then and then when you watch it there you go Oh Bologna in the wallet I get it now I always remember the one the the clone that has gone too far that's really dumb always the first to myth Steve yes hey Monty hi Steve Michael Keaton's bad impression of a dummy right you know it's even worse than that us talking about this cuz no one knows about it I realize that I'd like 40 seconds gonna like let's just dig this yeah let's go see how far we can get and you had a specialist this year on Netflix [Applause] incredibly busy time for you yeah talk about hustle heart man we did that ourselves man we produced it ourselves yeah we came out of the pocket I looked at my wallet and let's make it my met my manager my manager Joe is just like eh you know what we're not gonna wait for it let's just we're not gonna wait for them to come let's just make it ourselves so you made it and then you sold it to I knew I had the I had a great product so it's like it needs to get out so I wasn't gonna sit there and wait for someone to offer me a deal so I went and shot it myself so if I had to sell out of the back of my car like MC Hammer they did then that's what I was gonna do you guys like comedy you guys like comedy it was was that a bad reference again was MC Hammer self civil debate if our hammer made that he made like a single himself and he sold out the trunk of his car because here brothers bankruptcy no no this is before they were offering him deals and then when they offered him a deal he turned down because he was like I can make more money on the back of my truck so he was like I'll just sling all the back of my trunk and make my own money and then he started getting the deals after that anyways that was another stupid story another bad reference but I'm just saying if that's what I had to do that's what I was gonna do I didn't care reference in this conversation old stuff anything anything that tells people that we are over our 40s and then the girl was poison are you referring to the one they don't get it banned or the Bell Biv DeVoe DeVoe if she was poisoned she might have been done skinny Bop as well right right yes like that nope they don't get it and they don't know they don't know you know I did a joke one time when I go Marky Mark and these girls he was like a college and they had no idea that Marky Mark kumarkan I'm not even making this up I was like do you know Marky Mark they're like I was like that's Mark Wahlberg and they're like oh but I was like what like the Transformers guy yeah like exactly Mark Wahlberg was like the best black rapper in the 80s and that was a Thor 90s 90s early like an 80 maybe 90 91 91 right I still work Alvin's to this day because of Mark his walk on the wild side cover that he did around that time I do remember that he did feel vibrations and then he did take a walk on the wild side which was all these like bad raps about like Dorchester Trump tragedies yeah at the Lou Reed walking I remember that terrible and he did that it was on a movie track it was on a movie soundtrack you know what this is not good right now we we have done three very bad references let's do something more current more current yeah we talked about Kevin Hart for a second I mean that's fairly current phenomenal we could do for every current reference we'll do five past dead reference yes that are solely for us on the stage yes Reaganomics there Trump anomic snow companies yeah Reaganomics I'm so that took an evil turn let's just let's just stay here can't be able to there's a lot to make fun of right now so tell me about funding your own special like what was that like how did you hire the director how what was it like using your own money to do that it was it was scary we knew you know it's it's just like anything else man it's wrist man you know it's yeah I get back yeah we made some so it was a good investment but but it was also like scary because you know it's it's your own money man but like if you don't believe in yourself then nothing's gonna happen man like no one no one believes in you more than you so that's your dream if you want to follow follow cuz I know my mom didn't believe in it don't spend your money Joe said see my mom always said that that's your nest egg you can retire now she doesn't get it she's like today I mean God bless sir did you did you find that when you looked in your wallet to spend it were you spending a lot of your nest egg or you're like I'll be okay if like you know I end up having to sell this out the back of my truck like I don't even look at it like that anyways like I mean go for it just go for it man like that's how it's been my whole career you heard but when we were backstage I told you it's like I'll work a thousand jobs and just to chase my dream you know I mean so I didn't care I didn't care I didn't care it's all right it's not it's not even money to me it's just like this is my dream I'm gonna go for it and and this is what I gotta do to do it the thing that I love to do if I have to pay to do it like I can you know I could be broke and I'll be the happiest man alive cuz I'm living my dream yeah tears when did you decide that you wanted to do comedy when I was like 11

you when you did your first set my first set I was 18 BOM where did you do at out of high school it was a thing called the biggest fool and you you performed all of March like all these open markers and then uh and then whoever won the competition got to open for a headliner on April Fool's Day and it was called the biggest fools you remember the headliner was at the time I don't care I don't cuz I bombed so bad I just wanted to like cry for like a year straight what was your in my head after high school I was like I'm gonna be a famous comedian like tomorrow like right when I graduate I'm gonna be a famous comedian and then 28 years later Here I am with you so what were some of do you remember any of the jokes that you tried to tell that bombed no I remember what I said to the audience when they were lighting me and the guy on the stage was like get off the stage he was so mad because he was during they did the competition during a real show so it was like in between the acts they would throw up these cats that were going up for the you know I mean the competition so you know they had to keep a tight schedule because there's two shows a night and I think I was like at like 11 minutes we were only supposed to be like three or four minutes like things go red for you on your first time and you drove and c-bro my mouth got so chalky like cuz I was bombing so bad that my mom was digging like that like seriously if my tongue was sticking and I wouldn't get off I would not get out I was just kept looking at the crowd and and then and the guys like get off the stage and I couldn't I was like I was like a deer in headlights it was the worst experience ever did you start finding that stand-up was working for you that it was really that it was fun and you weren't bombing I got I got the videotape of it it was at Buzzy's cafe and it was in Vegas right next to UNLV and uh and I got an applause break so I told a joke there was only by the way buzzies cafe set may be this many people right here and and about four or five of them were comics you know I mean so it's not even and the other the other other like whatever five or it's just there to get coffee so they don't even know there's comedy that night and I remember I said something funny and I I heard claps like I heard a couple claps so in my head you know when you hear it you're like oh that's an applause break I thought the whole room was clapping and I had it on video and I remember going home and watching the tape and it was just like one person like oh that's hysterical it was just one clap but I knew I was like okay I got it starting to figure yeah yeah okay I got it I got one guy to clap and I was trying to get ten guys to clap let's try and get a roomful to clap but that's that's where it all started Buzzy's Buzzy's what year was that oh my god I can't remember I can't is that long ago I just remember I would start then I started telling people at work that I was doing it and then I would get people to come to Buzzy's to watch me and then it got to the point where people were just coming to watch me perform at Buzzy's and then and then I got my first big gig there cuz this this local Booker I forget his name but he booked me for the MGM to open for a headliner so I got my first we have GM grant it was called catch a rising star and I did my first week there and then then I started noticing he gave me two for one coupons and he was hand these to your friends and have them come to the show and I noticed I was getting more people to come see me with the two four ones than the headliner so I was like well why am i giving all this money to this guy when if they're all here to see me so I rented out a theater and then I started selling tickets myself I went to Kinko's and cut the tickets up myself I'm sure my mom would sell the tickets she didn't care and we we used to sell off this theater called the hunt Ridge theater it was six hundred bucks to rent the theater and it's at like a thousand people we sell a thousand tickets tickets have five dollars five thousand dollars six hundred bucks it was fourteen dollars a ticket and I did two four ones it was seven bucks a ticket and then my mom would always sell a ton at her work and then I made flyers I even made a program and I would sell advertisement in the program and that's how I paid for the comics to fly down unbeliev all that I got a big box of just all that stuff man this kind of correlates to how you did the special as well you're sort of used to just doing it on your own yeah lately like never waited and just yeah yeah if you're gonna sit and just wait for something to happen then it's never gonna happen it's not it's not gonna knock on your door like people always go oh man that what I want to get where Josette alright well start twenty-eight years from now you know there's a long road to get here so you know my favorite story is uh there was this brand biggie notorious b.i.g wore this Dada hat and it was a fitted hat it was a tight hat that he wore and I used to be like yo I'm like that hat and in Vegas they had this convention called magic convention it's the men's Apparel's of men's apparel convention and and they had street wear and the company that made that hat was Dada Footwear and and I remember meeting the guy from Dada Footwear and I told him I was a comic and uh and I said I have a show that I produced myself and he goes will bring it to my office and show me what you got and I and I brought this whole I made this this whole like portfolio of all these acts that I have booked and and how many tickets I sell in the theater that I do and then he ended up sponsoring my show for like for like two years he gave me the corporate credit card I was booking my mom was rockin da da footwear I swear to God I swear to god man that's real talk man my mom my mom was rocking Dada my stepdad Fred he was rocking everyone was rocking Dada the UPS trucks would come to the house and drop off like like 400 shoes man because they always wanted me to hand out shoes and give away shoes at my shows it was crazy man I thought a Donna sponsored me for like two years until they went bankrupt but I mean but that's another story like they were a great shoe company man that that's another story that they didn't go bankrupt because of bad you know quality or whatever it was it was something else that had to do with another big corporate you know what I mean I don't want to say the name you have to if you have to sort of percent answer Lavetta I love you there they were the owners of data Footwear and I love you guys thank you for believing in me do they still have another firmware company they're working on all kinds of stuff non-stop and Carlos I love you Carlos Perot he was he was the marketing guy and to this day we're still friends he just texts me now so how would you percentage sort of your career or sort of being a comedian for you how much of it is comedy and how much of it is actually just being a hustler well comedy is just life so like this is my life I'll just I just want to be funny no matter what but the business it's it's 24/7 man it's like constantly thinking about you know how to get myself out there or how to promote myself what new joke I need to write you know I mean like investing in myself it's it's it's like it's non-stop man I don't have I don't have a big building you know overhead but I do have I do have a staff of people that I have to take care of and I got my sister who works for me like I got people that do she does everything she's my you know she's my my my sidekick she pays all my bills she works hard for me and you know I got my management team I got my agency I got my publicist I got I got people that depend on me so that's that's all my back so I got to constantly make sure that not only am I gonna take care of me I got to take care of them so I got to work hard man you're on tour right now right non-stop brah everywhere everywhere go to Jo koy calm but yeah man it's been beautiful Netflix is on some next-level man cuz I mean we were already you know the dates were I don't know if you seen but I mean I was always good for 12 shows in a row sold out in a city but now man we're we're sold out to the end of the year man adding shows so it's been it's been beautiful congratulations thank you let's uh let's get some questions from the audience who was a question I have the first question okay and I've been sitting here nervous cuz I'm the first question I was here to enjoy it but now I I was the whole time it's nervous sitting here first of all I'm the oldest person here probably and I am I'm older than you no no I'm older than you I'm probably closer to your mom's age so how did so I'm a I'm a mom I'm Filipino and I knew that by your short hair and glasses [Applause] that's mandatory this is the stages of Filipino this is what they look like right around twenty and thirty forty and then BAM got it off it's more convenient it's easier to manage this takes too much time in the morning this just washing you go but it's well preserved well preserve so I've been sitting here also obsessed about your dentist talking yeah so my question was did your mom always try to find a Filipino dentist oh yeah sure for sure but my mom my MA is that really did you sleep all night I get the first question it will be about that dentist but but yeah of course you know it's always about that that whole man is that culture the Filipino culture is so crazy and so strong like we it's all about taking care of another Filipino or hooking up another Filipino or this is your aunt and that's your uncle and this is your your cousin and all they are just friends like it looks like no one's related to anybody but but that's so funny you said that about the you know what I mean like my mom was always like oh I have this Rex but have a black and take care of your teeth and and I wanted to make sure that I got I went to the best dentist like so I went to the guy that was on Oprah doing teeth I'm not even joking bro he was on Oprah and and I was like this is my mouth and this is my livelihood I smile a lot I smile a lot I tell jokes and I they need to be the best teeth I don't want to have you know you've seen some bad veneers before and I didn't want those so I I went and spent the most money this guy was so good at how much he charged you can look him up his name is Bo da hey dr. Badawi he is in Beverly Hills and and he he charges 2800 a tooth and he'll tell you right to your face how much he paid charge I was in the chair he goes $2,800 the two that I go hey I just want you to know there's I've met with several doctors and I found some that are like eleven hundred tooth he goes oh yeah please go get it like he said go go ahead and get those teeth and you'll see why I charge 2,800 a tooth and then I called my mom because usually cuz my mom would be the first one like we'll just don't spend any money your teeth are okay can you eat with them then they're fine and I called my mom and I swear to god she the right when I told her how much he goes yes joe said by those teeth just get them you deserve it I swear I started crying literally called for her to talk me out of it cuz it was so expensive but she she was like no get it you deserve it a tooth 20800 a tooth 28 a tooth that dude you don't even want to know how much this girl is it was so expensive no loan no credit it was like I had to buy it out man so when you eat food there's this there's this a candy that Filipinos he is called Chomp boy and it's Dee it's Dee hi and I'm addicted to chump boy and it's like dehydrated I think plum right it's like really salty just a hint of sweet they put leaking moy powder on it and me and my sister Rowena not Gemma Rowena used to be addicted to it we used to live in the Philippines and we would eat bags of it so I always eat it and there was there was a back at the house and this is just before I taped my special lights out the day before I taped my special lights out and I bit into it and my tooth broke in half and flew and I started bleeding and I had to wear a temp so that when I shot lights out man I had like a fake like a they're already fake but I had a fake fake or tooth that was barely holding on like he like glued it on because there was nothing to stick it on to cuz I broke the $2,800 toothbrush it broke it flew out and he had nothing to stick it on because I actually broke the the tooth you know how they shave it down to a little spike I actually broke that in half so he took like this because I had to tape the deer I had to tape it so he took like this plastic cap and he super glued it to the other two teeth and literally I was so nervous at night because I didn't want that tooth to fly out while I was taping you freak out at him when you went in and it was like the twenty hundred dollar to thing you gave me broke yeah and he goes and I told you not to bite hard stuff he even told me he goes don't don't bite bagels don't pull on things Eagles you can't eat a bagel I can eat a bagel I just have to cut it or you know I mean if I bite down after like make sure it's bitten and I can't you know when people eat bagels they pull like this if I do that all of them fly out just keep your teeth you have good teeth it's a lot of work Invisalign for the bottom so I'm not gonna get new teeth just like a retainer types nah just keep it yeah you got great hair you don't where we Taner over retainer supposed to he's 14 start getting made fun of like a 14 year old my coworkers but my question is to you I went to your show in Philly and it was great you were talking about writing a new special are you still in the process of doing that oh yeah yeah we we it's it's not done like I'm gonna write like special like George Carlin I'm gonna be I'm gonna be in my I'm gonna be on stage until I die so every year it's like that's my process every time something comes out like if I put a special out like that that that's done that material is done I'm pretty sure if you went to the Phillies show you didn't see any of that stuff that I did on Netflix because it's done it's retired I won't do it anymore because it's not it's not it's not fair to the audience like they're gonna pay all that money to come see me and then I'm gonna do the same thing they can they can watch on Netflix that's not cool and so I'm already riding like I got a couple hours already in the bag ready to go so and I know you laughed because that was a good show those Billy shows are high for one more question right here I had a really quick question but first yeah because the other two were so slow I don't know how can we see these questions up well I just wanted to mention that my mom and I were having a conversation about you the other day and how much like she's also a nurse of course mandatory kill the dreams the Filipinos I'm guessing that I'm like the terrible child because I'm not in that what are what are you what are you doing I run social media that's great but your parents don't get it I just wanted to ask like how does your mom feel about being the center of like pretty much your whole entire comedy special like my mom basically doesn't understand my like work and yeah just how does my mom feel but writing jokes about her yeah it's funny because I'm doing like like like jokes that are like like when I when I wrote this I did the joke on this special about my sister Romina getting kicked out of the house I don't know if you got kicked out but okay but usually that's pretty common - for some reason the Filipino moms I hate doing this but like the Filipino moms and daughters just like the butt heads I guess they're so similar but my sister moved out both of my sisters moved out really young you know I mean 17 and 18 and uh and I redid the whole fight on stage but when I wrote that joke when I wrote that joke I never did it in front of my mom and my sister before and I did it in front of them for the first time and I was so nervous doing it but I'm glad I did because they literally did not talk to each other for a year after she moved out like my sister didn't start talking to my mom until she hit her 30s so late they didn't talk for that long so for me to turn it into a joke was kind of like it was kind of cool for them to hug and and apologize each other but don't get me wrong it wasn't the joke that brought them together it's just hey they looked at each other why are we so stupid like it wasn't that they already made up and all that but it was kind of neat to just like relive that moment and and like all those fights that I saw when I was a kid like them fighting and then Gemma fighting or we end up fighting with my mom and then them leaving and and now we're just back together like one family but we wasted all those years so it's kind of cool to do that joke and and let my mom see it and my sisters see it and hopefully people go okay that's done we shouldn't fight because it's it's kind of stupid so one of those weird films were it's like maybe they made up but they hadn't sort of looked back yes with a with a sense of humor or even maybe even talked about it that much exactly eventually you just sort of get older and you kind of move on yeah but you don't talk about the thing because you kind of forget about all the mean stuff you said each other when you got into that fight yeah and and and that's why when I did that joke man like so many motions cause like I remember how intense those fights were that I remember how bad it was and how my mom anyway that's another story but it was it was it was neat to to tell that story and my mom was cool that my sister was cool with it so yeah she enjoys it's kind of like therapy for the family you know what I mean but don't get me wrong there's there's another joke that I'm working on right now and my mom hates it hey there and I'm not gonna tell you what it is but I've done it like three times in front of her and she's like stop telling that story they're not going to get it here in the Philippines they get it not here stop it it really did this to me tell this story they're gonna get why it's funny yeah why it's fun that's just Tuesday days yeah so it's fun to see that then then my mom also comes up to me at the end of shows and like tells me jokes like tells me stories so it's nonstop she can't get enough if you ever meet my mom you'll know it's my mom she's usually wearing all gold like that my mom will always have like a big elaborate outfit on come to my show and you'll know which one my mom is just by I won't even tell in fact my next show that my mom will be at will be in Vegas at the Treasure Island September 1st and everyone that's coming pick out my mom

with the gold elephants I'm looking forward to that Joe I have to let you go but people can see you live they can go to joke away calm yeah and look up any any day that's coming up even though I think
