00:00There's a story that's like going around this morning it was a I guess some dude
00:06was filming your brother's set and he was like I'm not having him and he
00:11walked off. What was his set? In Australia he was doing some like CEO like a birthday
00:17party extravaganza thing they had a bunch of like celebrity guests and stuff
00:21and he was like he did so he goes up he does this he's doing his set and dude
00:25starts filming so he. Who the CEO guy? No no no some somebody in the crowd okay so
00:29he essentially basically said had some words and then walked off and it's like
00:34it's going around like the internet now but my question is this haven't haven't
00:40people realized that like filming people's comedy sets don't work you know
00:45like. Well he probably thought because my brother was performing at a shindig
00:50with some I'm guessing it's some big wig in Australia. Yeah. That since he was invited to the party he was entitled to take the set.
00:57Yeah. But just so you guys know just so you guys know everybody that does that in a comedy club is a fucking asshole. Right.
01:03We're working on material all the time so if you record it and you put it up before the joke is perfected it's like putting up it's like a chef giving you a plate of food before it's finished. Right.
01:14It's like a get buying a car before they done making it. Right. You should wait for
01:18the finished product. Right right right. That guy probably felt entitled because he's a
01:21piece of shit and he said I'm going to record this set because I'm at this party I was invited and
01:26you're performing here so of course they're always going to separate the
01:30talent especially when it's black and white they're gonna think they're
01:33entitled to just do whatever they want to do because you're black and you're working there so. Yeah.
01:38We can just record you. That guy's a dick. I don't know who that guy is. Yeah you know and we've seen this before with a lot of comedians you like
01:48Dave Chappelle I probably your brother I like it's like you know they make you
01:52put the phone away. I love that I love that but they make the
01:55comics pay for it sometimes so some comics want to do it but they sometimes
01:58it's like it's too much of a hit to the budget to pay for it. I would do that shit every show if I wanted to take the hit to the budget I would do it.
02:05So walking off stage a thumbs up like that's that's that's that's you know deserves.
02:11Yeah it depends on how the comic feels like I'm trying to work on some stuff and do this guy a favor at his birthday party and you're going to record my set? Fuck it I'm out.
