Then he cussed me out like, mother, mother, you need to wear a black. They forced me to buy a hoodie that was black. And I had to put my- come in? Bro, just to come in. And and then this is my uncle's event. So I'm like, yeah, you gotta really wear black when they say wear black. as great but But they have a community around them? Yeah, it's a dope community, man. They got like a center and everything. It's strip club. It's a little strip pole in there. It's all fucked up. about to say it. But we have bereavement.

Speaker: I think it is repass. It's a wake? na No, no, no. Like after you get done with the burying everybody, everybody go to, it yeah, it's the repass. So we had to repass at ah the clubhouse, OutKast, shout out to them. And it's a strip club, it's a pole, it's a pole in there. It's a DJ, everything. And we just in there eating with a strip gold pole right there. It's a bunch of pictures of titties and stuff on the wall.
Speaker: I'm not joking, man. That is crazy. And you just be like, kids be in there. You be like, just be, little boy be learning about titties immediately. Mom, look at them. Just staring at the wall like, don't know why, but them things just got me. That's how I knew my nephew was about that life. He was like, I like an areola. Yeah, a smoothie. Them was not the pretty titties. Them was not the pretty titties, too. These was 1980s and 90 titties. Oh, man. got a little give on them. And they they had this at the clubhouse like the club clubhouse. I'm thinking Sons of Anarchy right now. Probably, bro. It's wild telling people that, but it's like, no, that's just what we do.
Speaker: It's just how it is. Yeah, nah, this sounds insane. Like, you we don't have, like, yeah, I don't, yeah, I can't even picture it. I've never been, one, I've never been to a clubhouse. Okay, yeah. You ain't missing nothing, but like people would- I mean, it sounds rousy. It is, but especially if you get the strippers in. They got cages to put the strippers in and everything. What? Yeah. We had the cage. Actually, at the repass, there was the cage, and then it was- they what Nobody was on there, but it was there. couldn't see it It's not like they hid it.
Speaker: This is insane. I don't know. one, I'm like trying to picture And then I'm like, now I'm thinking too much. Like the cage is too, too small.

He went to Turkey. Yeah, man. Shouts out to everybody going to Turkey, getting new edges like a bad bitch. Yeah.
Speaker: And so like, yeah, the so you was on there, you was just talking crazy, then you- It was a sports show with my roommate at the time. He went for like television broadcasting and he that was his major. And I was like, oh, this dope, I can do this. Cause I came from an art school. So I was doing like ah media arts and multi, like drawing, painting, sculpting, all that shit.
Speaker: Are you talented? Yeah, I had audition again in my high school. Oh, wow. yeah I had to actually like paint and draw and know how to do relief and all sorts of stuff. That like you, how did you find that? Like, how did you find out that you were like gifted in doing that? Or like, was that... like fostered within your family? Yeah, my mom always was just like, I was technically I'm the only child, but I was raised, my mama raised me, like she worked at a group home for 19 years. So all the kids would come home with us and then we would just be like, we would be coloring and drawing and I'll just be drawing. he was like, oh, you good at that. And I just kept doing it. And then like I had to audition for the school to get in for high school and got And then my major was visual art, so I was a painter. Every day I would paint, I would sculpt, I would shade, I would make music videos, movies, so it just was... That's fire. And I'm doing the same shit now, which crazy. So like, yeah, pivoting into college, and you getting on that show, what made you, what'd you switch when you started switching your major and you were like, yo, I'm really gonna pursue this? What happened was I started failing. Man, athletic training majors, you gotta learn a lot about the body. I didn't know. Bro, the first lap missed, I couldn't find a building. I'm like, man, forget it. The next week we had a test. was like, hold up. I wasn't here last week. Fell the hell out of that.
Speaker: And then after that, i was like, yeah, this ain't for me. I'm going to just switch it on over to TV. And I've been doing it ever since. Because like, yeah, i mean, we talked before this, we were talking about you were like, how you described yourself. But like, how do you, when people tell you to describe yourself or your talents, like, what do you say? Oh, okay, yeah. So when people are like, what do you do for a living? I'd be like, ah do you know who Kanye West? Do you know who Donald Glover is? Or Childish Gambino? Do you know Metro Boomin' is?
Speaker: And they would say yes to all three. I'd be like, that's what I do for a living. I just make dope shit. huh and And people, and it just resonates with people. There's nothing I can really say or do, but it'd be like, it'll be stuff I'll show you. I'll show you that something after this. oh i show I showed you oh yeah you the f stuff I sent you yeah and you'd be like, not I've never seen a comedian do this shit.
Speaker: And you'd be like, oh, okay. It makes sense once you see it, but it's one of those things you don't know until you see it ah Like, even because you talk about being a comedian, but like what moment that you were like, yo, going to pursue comedy.
Speaker: ah It's gonna get morbid a little bit. Well, I was just funny, but I didn't know it could be an actual career. Shout out to my OG, Ronnie Jordan. um He saw me running around Atlanta making vlogs and videos with the dudes I was coming up with in comedy. And he's like, bro,
Speaker: He called me one day, I remember I was at Tyler Perry Studios and I was working as an accountant assistant. And he was hey Ferg, yeah, i have i've I've had several lives. Yeah, we need to go back to that one. I worked there for seven years, I seen so much shit and he made so much money. Shouts out to them over there, bro. They pay you for real. But he called me, like, Ferg, come to the trap with me today. He sent me to edit this, came to a real ass trap and we had to go shoot some podcast stuff and some editing stuff. So I just...
Speaker: Ever since then, it kind of was like he was showing me how he could make all this money because he was making a living doing colleges. And he'd been doing it for 20 plus years and he got a wife and a family and stuff. I'm like, I need to learn how to do this because I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just out here. yeah So ah that's what made me take it serious. And then like ah my aunt, before she passed, she she was my favorite aunt.
Speaker: She had lung cancer stage four. And while she was in hospice, you know withering away a little bit, um I would make these videos every Monday and drop them and send them to the family group chat.
Speaker: And then my mom was like, keep sending those videos because that's what's keeping your aunt alive. That's the only thing that's making her laugh. wow And I just kept doing it. And then I was like, I'm gonna do standup too. So I just started doing both at the same time. So and then it just was like,
Speaker: I just kept doing it. It just changed and you know, I still do the same thing, but it's just variations, higher camera, production be higher. yeah And you know, bigger budgets. Yeah. I mean, well one, that's amazing that you did that, you know, cause like you putting in that effort is, is needed, especially towards like, you know, something so grim.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was, but she's the reason why I knew I was funny. She was like, you look crazy little boy. I was like, I am Monty. I ain't know that. I'm not regular. But the older I got, I was like, oh, I am crazy. Okay. Yeah. Didn't know that. Yeah. I your personality is definitely is like. I didn't know that. It's a trip.
Speaker: i mean I swear I'd be thinking this shit be regular. Then you tell somebody, be like, are you okay? Do you need a therapist? Bro, this little, like, 30 minutes of this, I was like, man, you been through a lot.
Speaker: Yo, this shit, I guess so. I guess. I guess. I don't know. We all go through a lot, bro. It's life. I mean, yeah, but, ah like, i at at most, I could say maybe I lived six lives.
Speaker: Maybe, like, six. okay. You know what I'm saying? see what you're saying. How many would you say you lived? Shit, before 30, I was, like, I was at life number, like, nine.
Speaker: what like At one point, where do you know, like, all right, I need to switch. I got to get out. I got to change this. You don't know. the universe kind of guides you because shit start falling apart. Yeah.
Speaker: So, like, I knew it was time to leave Tyler Perry when Studios was was like... I was there working, but the work was like, I was getting paid, but it was like, I can do more than this. like And I was doing more.
Speaker: And this lady, shout out to Kim. i don't know where she is. This was a white lady who owned a farm missing her front tooth. And she looked like she could churn butter good. And she came and like she saw what I was working on like outside of the studio. And she like pulled me in a closet. She was like, you need to leave here. You are too talented to just be sitting back here doing this. you're very good at what you do. And when she said that, it kind of like, it was like, okay, I gotta to go be broke for a little bit. yeah And dipped and I started working on other productions and stuff, but it helped me. But that's that's how you know, you just be, stuff start crashing and burning, you gotta rebuild it and figure it out. So like,
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, how did you even get the finance job? Because you you never went to school for it. So in film and TV, it's really about who you know. And I wasn't handling the real money. was just making sure people wasn't stealing. And I was like giving people they checks. So I started off to do it like every Friday. Payroll. Yeah, I was in payroll. yeah yeah Paying the extras and stuff. like I'm jovial as hell, like, here's your check. Then I'm looking at my check, like, my check ain't shit. This man make 10,000 a week? Yeah, that's crazy. What am I doing with my life? hu
Speaker: But like I was doing that because- fake shoes? Nah, at that time, I'm getting real shoes. i was so I was making so much money, I was scared to spend it, cause ain't never have made it. I was like, nigga, I make more money than my mom. She got a master's degree. What the hell? So like, yeah, that was cool. That was that was cool, but yeah.
Speaker: Doing that was wild because I had a family member that worked at BET and she got me my first job. And I got fired from my first job, cause I didn't really know what I was doing. yeah But somebody else who was working at a job was like, you should come over here. And they just brought me over there and ever since then,
Speaker: like for like seven years, I was just there and I transferred from the old studio to the big one, the fork that he got. like i was I was flicking switches to turn on lights and everything, like fight through cobwebs. I've been in every part of that building. That's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker: So it's wild. And I was still doing comedy too. So we would have production meetings and they'd be like, put firm on stage. And his bodyguard would be like, nah, because he going say some wild stuff and we can't. Not today.
Speaker: So like they would come. They actually, saw the time, I had a show and the you the production manager, like a six foot two white man came to the show. He's like, bro. And after the show was over, next day he told me joke a joke about my grandma's titty being long.
Speaker: And he was like, ha, your grandma's titties are long. And I was like, ha. You remember the joke? yeah that's the when you You know it's good when people are telling you joke back to you Yeah, and I had no idea what I was doing. I was trash at that point. I was so bad.
Speaker: That's, I mean, yo, one, you know, we definitely need more. That's the thing. I don't know if you were ever like this, but I've always been the person where it just like, I don't tell my work, like what I'm doing outside of work. Oh, okay. So like them showing up would be weird to me. can see what you're You what I'm saying? Well, entertainment different because there's no HR. Mm-hmm. Like if you see somebody get cussed out, they just got cussed out. You better take it to the face. That's all you can do. Are you coming back tomorrow right now? Didn't mean it, but you know, you piece shit sometimes.
Speaker: And then it just is what it is. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's also like doing that. I don't know how many of crazy hours. Oh, like 12, 16 hour days. And then to still do comedy after that too? Bro, I would wake up, I kid you not, for like four years straight, I would wake up at six.
Speaker: I would wake up at like five, go to the gym, work out. go do work, get off at 8, go tell jokes till like 1 a.m. Monday through Friday. And then you sleep for four hours? Less than four hours? I was a machine, bro. I was crazy, man.
Speaker: I was working out with like elevation masks on and shit. Yeah, yeah. Those used to be crazy. Bro, it was crazy. I was 200 pounds. I was big as hell. Like, it sounds wild. It sounds wild.
Speaker: until you see a picture, be like, you really was 200 pounds. Like, yeah, like big. You were wild. You were just diesel as well.

Like, nah, I'm just a big black man that give people they checks on Friday. Yeah, you the bouncer giving me the checks like, yo.
Speaker: It's crazy. So like, that's what I was doing. Like literally doing comedy, burning the, ah some days I ill go win a comedy competition in North Carolina. I got to go to work the next day. I'll be sleeping my car at the studio, just knocked out and then then go and then take a shower and work out at the studio and then go to work the next day.
Speaker: What? What, like, how do you even have the drive to doing all that? ah The fear of poverty. yeah like Once you see poverty and you don't want to be there anymore and you kind of switch flip the switch to like, I want to do this.
Speaker: I've always been like a headstrong person. So if I want to do it, I'm going to do Even if I go through the goods and bads, the ups and downs, I'm to still do it because that's what I wanted to do. So that's how it's always been in my mind. So I was just like, if I don't do it, who else is? mean...
Speaker: The motivation or like, is it that, does that come from your mom or like, you know, like somebody else in your family? Yeah. um ah The motivation come from my mom because i watched her, you know, work two jobs for 19 years and she was running a, a,
Speaker: group home for 19 years and she's inviting all these children that are hurt and in the community enter into our house and i always told myself when I got to a point where I was gonna i'm gonna retire because I'm like you worked way too hard and gave so much to the community that I feel like it's my duty to give that back to you so the rest of your days you can just be good and chill and don't gotta worry about it and just raise these grandbabies when I stop pulling out and other than that Whenever that happens. Yeah, whenever that happens. Don't want to have an oops baby. yeah But yeah, that's that's that's where the drive came from. But it's always been like that since a kid. But I've told her that.

It's like Wes Anderson meets ah the show Atlanta. and it's a crazy conundrum of my life and stuff that happened to me during the pandemic and outside the pandemic, but it's putting this comedic like world that I made and it's it's not even made up neither, it's all true.

I really have been digging his comedy. I mean, we talk about it in the beginning, seeing him on dead ass and him just being like, that's just a regular crowd. It's funny because like that was probably the second dead ass show that I saw.
Speaker: Right. I feel like I know there was there was one i either see it was either the first show or the second show. Shout out to Mouse. Shout out to everybody on the Deadass Comedy crew who has been killing it and crushing it. If you are in New York and you want to see some comedy, some good comedy, check out Deadass Show. It's once a month in Brooklyn Improv. I'm definitely going to try to be at the next one. I've missed a bunch of them since they moved to the Brooklyn Improv because they do it on Sundays now.

So shout out to them for for putting on such a great comedy show. And shout out to Ferg for getting him in front of that crowd because that is a tough crowd. ah When they were in SOB, they were very picky about who they were laughing at. And I think it really gives you such like a tough skin when it comes to comedy. and
Speaker: Hearing how he handles those crowds. I mean, Atlanta comedy clubs. Once I go down to Atlanta, once I go down and see KO and ATF in Atlanta, maybe, i don't know, maybe this year. I don't know. We'll see. But I'll talk about my plane trips in a little bit. But just like hearing how cutthroat those Atlanta comedy clubs are.
Speaker: It sounds crazy. Or even just where they do comedy. like He had some crazy stories, and I hope you enjoyed them all. I know that this one isn't super Sneakers specific. I do love having some of these conversations to show that Sneakers is really a through line that can connect us to anybody within anything. And it's very interesting to hear...
Speaker: Just his take on how he views fashion and the world that he grew up in was wild. I mean, i did not expect who his cousins were. i didn't expect him growing up within a biker family. Like, it's like...
Speaker: His mom's like ah getting a doctorate. Like it's like this is he worked like he had several different lives. Like, I mean, he worked in Tyler Perry. Like, come on, yo. This was a crazy episode. And I'm glad i' I'm bringing this to you. um I'm glad he hit me up and really wanted to do this podcast. You know, it's been a huge honor to have people to really that really want to do the do do this podcast. Like.
Speaker: i i see how podcasts grow within this space, and a lot of it is really about supporting other comics, and and what like that's what this really was brought out of. you know like In the early days of podcasting, you'd only have... You know, your Marc Marons, your Kevin Smiths, and, um you know, your Combat Jacks. you're Like, the super early days of podcasting where they there was only so some specific spaces that were being, you know, given a voice or or finding their way into the digital landscape and onto people's iPods, for example. ah And the way that it exploded to where everyone has a podcast and where everyone is kind of just...
Speaker: you know some sort of former athlete or some sort of you know big name that they're they're like hey let's just talk about my life or have my famous guest on and we can talk about your life like it's interesting when it comes from you know my perspective of like i'm nobody like i've literally have been building this out of nothing and people really have wanted to you know tap in with me and talk to me and and want to really, i guess the the word is just tell
Speaker: their side of what they've been able to experience within the these cultures that we continuously, you know, push forward and continuously get people to fall in love with and to get, you know, such a, ah just like a ah different like view on what really moves us and what really keeps us going and what really like has us just really wanting to come back and share this and share our knowledge and share our stories. And I think I'm just like forever grateful because i don't take it lightly where it comes to, you know, the spaces I've been able to, to kind of traverse and the conversations I've been able to have because it's not easy and it is, and I will never sugarcoat this, but you know, the constant, even in the early days of just like reaching out to anybody and everybody and trying to see,
Speaker: you know Going to ComplexCon and seeing if you know ah Brendan Dunn or Matt Welty would talk to me at that time um and ask them for advice. Or even the first year I went, I met BMO when he was doing claimant stories and really pushing the needle forward when it came to telling black stories.
Speaker: And he gave me a half an hour of his time to talk to him. And then coming back then the the following year. And with a press pass and and really pushing the the opportunity to kind of just talk to as many people as possible and try to get this different side of content that i needed to experience and try to try myself that I never...
Speaker: really tried to pursue outside of just making us a couple TikToks or or just pushing podcast clips or getting podcasts you know people to pull up to the podcast via Zoom. And so seeing a little bit more people understand that, like, okay, this is what he wants to do and and getting more advice and going to ComplexCon really is something that has become this tentpole event that I always tell people that they need to go to. And so, you know, you flash forward to this most recent one. You know, i talk about if you if you want to hear about my full experience of last year's ComplexCon,
Speaker: You got to check out, I forgot which episode, maybe like AD's episode or AD's. It was either, it might be on, I think it was an AD episode where we talked about just the reception we both we we both received when it came to ComplexCon, and I might have said it on an episode, I'm trying to remember, but I'm going to recap this year's, and that's what I segued into in this conversation with myself, that, you know, seeing, i always tell, and if you listen to last week's outro, I say, you know, ComplexCon is a barometer of ah what I think my progress within this space is becoming. and this year was big. This year was different. This year I was extremely honored, you know, to be able to witness this year's ComplexCon and just witness what my, like, it's crazy. I have to say this because I kept saying to myself ah the entire time, it's just like, I'm proud of my friends within this space that I've
Speaker: built something so beautiful and and have been able to share it within a complex con you know before this you know a lot of people have been asking me oh you're going are you going are you going i'm like yes i always go every year so it's when i where i see how much impact i've had within this space who's talking to me who's who's wanting to you know appear on an episode and stuff like that and this year I was just seeing like my my friend J Tips have his booth this year. That was gigantic. another It was just a floatable merch shop, which was crazy. like Inflatable, boy i mean. Inflatable. if Floatable would be crazy. that would have been sick. um Seeing that was really dope. Seeing ah the homies, Taladarafa.
Speaker: just bring Goldie out and, you know, immerse everybody into their world in their in their booth. It's not an easy task. um The homie Anwar collabing with Billionaire's Boys Club and just seeing know what he's been able to do with this capsule that he put out. And it was just dope. Like,
Speaker: I mean, I'm only naming a few, but I really want to touch because I don't want to make this super duper long. But I really want to touch on just the conversations I was able to have um and a tweet I put out. Right. I put out a tweet and a lot of people really, i guess, took it as like, you know, in a couple ways, especially for them. But I realized that, like, you know, ComplexCon shows you that there's different levels to this. Right. um you know Some people are being flown out to host. Some people are being flown out to do specific content. Some people are are being flown out to to just attend. ah And you know you're getting bombarded with people with security, you know big names. um
Speaker: and But you really you really see that there is definitely a world of a world of possibilities when it comes to something like a temple event. like ComplexCon, but at the end of the day, it is about selling whatever you want to sell at that point. You know, some people had some crazy booth. I saw a booth where some guy was in a box just playing video games, and I think that was just like an artist, like one of the rappers, which I didn't go to the concerts, but like one of the rappers was there, and that was his booth that they gave him or that he bought. um I'm not going to make any assumptions. uh, it was very interesting. I think that like when it comes to the worlds of OG or like people have been collecting for a very long time, uh, streetwear sneakers and then this newer age of kids, right? You, you gotta find something that mixes it all together. ah
Speaker: I will say last year's ComplexCon did that a little bit more gentler or perfectly, in my opinion, even the one before that as well. Both of them that were in Las Vegas because the way it still honored and still created moments of just OGs or people pulling up and wanting to really sit and talk. This year, I don't think...
Speaker: It allowed for that, but it it it allowed for that for people who really knew each other. And I think I realized at that point where I made this tweet where I said that I realized I've met all the people I've wanted to meet.
Speaker: And that leaves me more more room to find finally take the time and find new people to talk to. Shout out to...
Speaker: This brand, C-H-R-L-S. don't know if there's just Charles or that, but it's a Brazilian Nigerian brand. Definitely check their stuff out. I was blown away by just like the immersion of them building this booth that, you know,
Speaker: It was kind of like their little little stable home spot to to make sure that you know people come in and they're inviting. They had a Brazilian flag that was merged with a Nigerian flag, and they were waving it around, and they really just spoke and talked to everybody that passed by their booth, and I love that. I love that. I wasn't a i didn't but wasn't able to cop something, which i I need to cop something from them just to show some support, but shout out to that brand. But I think that that's what I really wanted to do, especially on this on Sunday because Saturday I spent so much time Walking around, seeing the boosily, seeing the lay of land, but being stopped and being and having a chance to talk to so many people. I mean, I wish I spoke to a lot of people.
Speaker: that listen to the podcast so I can hear their stories. And i please, if you see me on the street, if you see me in an event, please stop me and let's have a conversation. I really, really, really implore that. I implore that. I'm super approachable. I will always say that. I would i just want to talk to as many people as possible. But, you know, people were dapping me up and saying what's up. um And I think that that's what we need. We need a lot a lot more information.
Speaker: of just the openness and, and I get it, you know, we're, we're still coming out of COVID. We're still coming out of, you know, this way of, yo, let's get social. Let's, let's try to, let's try to, you know, create, you know, uh, togetherness. And that is something that can continuously, you know, be something that we push forward and strive for because it's important.
Speaker: It's important to, especially if you're you're behind something that actually promotes that, right? You want to be able to push this thing forward into the new, the new at where it's like the new thing and other people are trying to emulate that, right? So that's why i say you'll definitely see me at next year's ConflictsCon.
Speaker: And oh I will always be at BFF, but yeah. That was like my biggest takeaway. I'm going to write a full sub stack on ComplexCon. This is just like my off-the-cuff type of ah recap of this. but i mean I hope everybody that does listen to this podcast, when I wasn't able to say what up, was able to experience ComplexCon. If not, I hope to see you at the next one because it is a good time.
Speaker: Bring money. It's going to be a lot of fun. hope that's That's my ComplexCon recap. But like I said, make sure you join the Substack too, who is hoss.substack.com. I'm just about to post this week. You should see my post for my BFF recap um just because I want to be a little bit more I guess, precise or concise with what I'm trying to say, especially when it comes to that specific event. And I'm going to do the same thing for ComplexCon. And then after that, I have a writing I want to do about friendships, um especially because a lot of
Speaker: this podcast has come and built around our bit is built around friendships and the making of friends. Um, so I think, uh, it's it's a, it'd be ah an important commentary or an important read, especially if you are like someone that likes me, ah to check out. So these are like the three sub stacks I am pushing for this episode.
Speaker: um And I got more time because I'm done traveling for the year, i think. But I really appreciate y'all for tapping in. And of course, we got to do Patreon shout outs.
