We was standing in line for a NBC showcase outside the old Caroline's, and it was hour number nine, and we were all irritable, very mad.

So Michael Blackson pulls up his car and, you know, opens the door and lets the African shit play for a little while, just, you know, to brighten our spirits.

[laughs]

'Cause we sat down there in the cold trying to chase our dreams for a minute and a half worth of comedy.

It was, it was completely awful, and then a bum rolls up who's having a good time, and the motherfucker tried to dance and shit, but he smelt bad, and we was like-

Derek

Hey, guys, uh, watch Goodlum on Tubi and, uh, Amazon Prime right now.

I put a special out on Prime and Tubi.

One is with commercials, one is one without.

So just check that out.

Goodlum, G-O-O-D-L-U-M. It's out now on Tubi and Prime.

... it's bad.

Go on, yeah, if you go on YouTube, they got a actual, like a quick version of what they do to straighten your spine.

What does the audience coordinator do?

Audience coordinator, uh, gets on an email list and tells, I guess, I guess, uh, it goes out to a blast radius in the neighborhood about a show that you can come see.

So, you ever see them videos where niggas be around the corner, lined up down the street? Sometimes it's not they fans.

Sometimes the audience coordinator kinda papered the room and then they got all these free seats and so you got all these people from whatever email blast they got to come be an audience to fill your shit up.

So, because you need that, because I'm like, if I can't pack this shit down myself, like when you can't trust your ticket sales yet, but you know you're funny, you know, just do what you can to make it as hot as you can make it.

So, I had to pay the audience coordinator.

She coordinated good audiences, filled up the balcony, a little bit in the back, but a lot of people came to see me, and it was just good for the room.

dude was just like, ah.

Yeah,

short dude.

Dude! But he'd do the club.

And then I went down there, and then...

Well, the day after I turned 19.

Because I heard about it when I was 18.

So the day after I turned 19, I did my first open mic at the Laugh House.

I need

I was watching her, she was like, "They're really fucking her shit up." And I was like-

You know what it is? There's probably too much purple in it.

Because when I saw the trailer, I thought it was Wakanda, 'cause it was so much purple in the trailer.

They need to change the purple to orange or something, some other color.

What does that mean?

It's the play off of my first special on, uh, Netflix, YouTube, when, you know, my, that joke went viral about me being cul-de-sac Black.

Shout out to the suburbs.

I'm basically your, uh, the, the pan- the, uh, demographic you talking about, the Black educated.

Guess what time

it is.

Promo time.

What do you have to promote, Derrick Gaines? Ladies and gentlemen, or more ladies and gentlemen.

I like saying that sometimes.

July 23rd, Goodlam on Tubi, on Zumo, on Google TV, on Roku, and on Amazon.

Wow.

But he

Did you feel like yourself that second time out? After the first time...

A bomb, right? So I felt that.

But what was so funny about it, I was like, well, damn, that's what a bomb feels like? I thought it was supposed to be worse than that.

And it wasn't.

Because it was like, yeah, I messed up.

They didn't talk to you.

Oh, you might not have been the guy that night.
