The episode blends humor and heartfelt storytelling, tracing his journey from growing up in Chicago’s West Side to working at McDonald’s, where he once sold the most strawberry lemonade in history. He shares vivid memories of family life, including his mother’s work at McDonald’s and his father’s career as a general contractor, and recounts a defining moment when he chose comedy over a police career after being in a serious incident.

From one of the biggest guys in Hollywood. - That's crazy. - The second first here on the show. From a broken-down rena-car to that. - To that. - That was crazy. - That was wild. - You know what, I appreciate you guys allowing me to tell you that. - Of course. - What are you gonna say now? - That was the most famous I've ever been to.

Want to be a cop? Want to be a cop? Want to be a lawyer? I want to be a judge, man. - Really? - But see, remember? - Judging Chicago? - Judging, that'd be pretty good. - You know what, now I want to write a show like that, where, but I want to be the judge. I want to do like a show where, like, I'm the lawyer for all the baby daddies in the world. - It's okay. (laughing) - And you got to come to this court first before we determine if you go to the big court to put your baby daddy on child support. But I want to represent the good fathers that get put on child support. And they shouldn't be on there. - Gotcha. - You know what I'm saying? - I want to be the judge. I don't want to be the judge. - Yeah, I trust like everybody always is the judge. - That makes sense. - But I did want to be like, like, seriously, I was really like, wanted to be an FBI agent. I want to do all that shit, man. But, you know, as, you know, like, you was talking about my crew. I got in trouble when I was 17 years old. - Okay. - For what? (laughing) - You're on her? - Well, what happened to me? - No, I haven't with me. - Honestly, it was real, it wasn't as bad as how it looked. (laughing) You know what I'm saying? You don't realize how serious shit is to get serious. - Of course. - So after that, it was kind of like, you know, I got my criminal justice degree. And I almost was a Chicago police officer, but I started going viral right before they called me to come back into the game. - Really? - Gotcha. - And I was like, I'd rather tell jokes than get shot at. - I'm with you. - Sure. - Makes sense. - What was your first job? What was your first job you ever had? - My first job I ever had, I was a cashier at Wendy's. - Nice, what was your mom thinkin' about that? - You got excited, look at that. - What was your mom thinkin' about that? - You know what? - It's like going against a family. - It was Wendy's. It was Wendy's, but I was there maybe about a year, year and a half, and then, but everybody's in my family. My mother has got them a job at McDonald's. - Gotcha. - Everybody. - So you worked there? - I'd have where I worked at McDonald's, a few different McDonald's. - How'd you like that? - A little patient of the restaurant, not McDonald's. - I worked at different locations though. - It wasn't a professor at the university. - No, no. - He's a professor, you could even. - When I was a driver. - I was a drive-through captain though. - What's a drive-through captain? - So shit I made up, I was the best at workin' a drive-through. I used to hype 'em up, they used to come up, they used to have, they started to strawberry lima, the scrolls on strawberry lima, they used to do, this how I got the drive-through captain position because how excited I used to be to sell it. So they had come through the drive-through, and I was like, who welcome to McDonald's? Would you like to try our new strawberry lemonade? - Pretty good. - And Abby, ah, what are you gonna get one with now, one one now? - And right then and there, I sold the most strawberry limonaise in history. Look at this shit up, man. - Look it up, look it up. - Look it up. - Like that's a printed staff. - Google it, man. Chat GVT, I was the strawberry limonaise seller. - Do you get a piece of that, do you get any commissions on that? - From McDonald's? - Yeah. - They gave me some coupons, bro. I used to have like, oh man, that's what I missed. My mom used to have like, free, free big Mac meals, free value meal. Like we used to have these cars in our wallet. Like, look at you, you wish you had one, just good. - And I just had you got lost in his eyes. - You did, it paused, paused, paused. - Like I am on it. - But we definitely used to, man, we had a time when she had free dessert, free apple pies. I mean, when I tell you she was locked in at McDonald's, I mean, even to this day though, she still got friends that still work for the company or whatever, but I love it. - One of the questions I would love to ask, 'cause it happened to me many a handful of times that I McDonald's drive through. Would anybody not have the money to cover the paint, like would their card get declined? - Yeah. - And what would you do, you just gotta go, I mean, 'cause that's happened to me a handful of times where I'd order, they didn't get to pay. And they'd be like, the card didn't go through, I didn't have enough cash. - Let me tell you something. How serious I was about being a driver of the company. - The captain, the captain. - How serious I was, the guy came through one day, swiped his car, I handed it back to him, and he drove off, but it got declined. He went to the next window. They was handing him the food. Before he can get the food in his hand, I had ran to the next window and took the food back. - Damn. - That said, your card declined. (laughing) - Do you have another card tonight? And he had another card, and I took the food and went back, and I swiped that card. - Go through? - No. (laughing) Get the hell out of my line. - I said, take that shit to Burger King.

Bro, let me tell you, when I worked at McDonald's, I used to put them bitches in my pocket. - I remember that. - And go to the Mighty Wings. - They might have only been doing that in Chicago. It could have been a test market. - No, it was other places that really, man. Look it up, Mighty Wings. - It says comes up, Mighty Wings. - And they had a little bit of spice to them. - I couldn't do that.

It freaks me out. I don't know why. - The bonin' the chicken. - Yes. - So you rather just eat bonin' the meat? - Yeah. - Same thing with Popeyes. (laughing) Popeyes, I get the chicken sandwich. - Okay. - And I'm big on the mashed potatoes. - Nah, that's a bad ass sandwich though at Popeyes. It's spicy one, and they would sleep on it. I think I was the first one to know about it. - That was, this guy's been at the front man's food. - That blew up very quick. - I sort of got, before it blew up like that, I had tried that chicken sandwich a month before. (laughing) - And I was calling people like, yo, they're fucking chicken sandwich. Because my favorite spicy chicken sandwich used to be at Wendy's. - Yeah, it was all believed in him. - It ain't the same no more. - Nah. - It ain't even no meatin' it, it's just gross. - Now tell you what, Wendy's spicy wings are spicy-- - Nuggets. - Yeah, that's it. - They hit. - 10 out of 10. - 10 out of 10. - Okay. - And he's guy, and that's not-- - Yeah, no, I can still, I ate so much of it, I could probably still do it for lay fish. - No cheese, though, no cheese. - Really? - Yeah, no cheese. - I like it with the tartar and I throw a pickle on there too. - Easy tart, though. - Take a crease. - Because sometimes they just slap it on there. - It's coming up to the side. I can't-- - Why? - It's all down your hand, I can't-- - It's all down your hand. - Why? - I can't have it, like, pauses. - As long as I've ever played pauses, dude. - We need to count the pauses on this episode. - I'm speaking to food that we're in in a little bit.

(laughing) - He's showing me how good I'm about his house. - The apple pie's your better here, right? (laughing) But while I'm in New York, though, I have like, you know, I've been here a few times.

You're bringing McDonald's on the plane. You know what? Listen, hear me out Nope, here we out sometimes in the morning because I do still enjoy McDonald's breakfast So sometimes if I'm going through the airport and I'm like oh, there's gonna be like if I got a fly to LA from Chicago That's a four hour flight. Let me give me some breakfast because sometimes the food that they give me in first class isn't always that for sure Yeah, but they do got some good shit though for sure like American Airlines got this short beef rear The burger on Delta Delta throws at it. We're a Delta No, it's trash. They used to do their own burger for a while. Oh, they switched yeah, they switched They get they get a day collab with Shake Shack. I didn't know that it used to be their own burger. It was wild United Airlines got like a grilled chicken over rice. That's that's pretty good It's a couple things that they got this good, but if they don't like sometimes I like a you can see the menu And I'm like, I don't know Let me ask you this because this has kind of been a hot putting issue with some of the some of our comic friends on the show When we travel we like to get to the airport not early, but we get there Very on time so that us as a squad can sit down and have a meal together have breakfast to go just fine in the morning Yeah, so we'll have breakfast at one of the places in the morning. Okay. How do you feel about that? Yeah? I get to the gate when it's time to board. Yeah I get to the airport when it's time to board. Yeah, but you bring it fully efficient. We got damn plain Yeah, but then you can sit on a plane. You can either at least I'm on my way. It's something about My wife is about sitting in that airport where it's like bro You know the last time I was sitting in the fucking airport cover happened. I stopped that shit Once people start can sit. I go right Like drop me off 15 minutes before the flight board There's enough time for me to get to security without the TSA pre-checking all this. You're pre-checked. You're clearing all that stuff Get right to the gate last time to go How do you feel about dropping the seat back? How do I feel about it? Yeah, I dropped that bitch back soon as they tell me I can Okay, you know, I'm saying as soon as you know Soon as I hit that We reached 10,000 feet right now pop right back. You a window or an aisle guy window Keep doing more comfortable. Keep the window up You like to look at what's going on down there? It depends on if the person next to me trying to look out my window You don't like that. Don't look out my window. Wait, what would it like me? I like this fucking seat. I like to win this is my window And if I see you lean over me looking out, I'm gonna shut that no shit. We would look out that side of the plane Really, yeah, what're you looking at if you're up there together? It's just special thing. No, it's not That's my window if I decide I want to lean my head on my window. I can lean my head on my window But why are you leaning over me to look what the fuck are you looking for? He's looking at your filial face I'd rather you look at that than out my window. I sometimes sit there and look at that like a kid on a bus out the window Love it. Yeah, I don't you know some days I sleep with some like like an hour. It's like automatic. It's like my body knows when I'm on the plane Time to go sleep. Yeah, yeah unless unless unless you got a shit Shit on the plane. Hell yeah, I just did that today Hell fucking yeah, I'm gonna tell you something.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying because if somebody would have came in behind me they would have like bro Who's that water's a he that water's a huge barrier. Yeah, and then and then it's like If you're not shitting out a turd if you just if it's just Because it's different to have a turret in this shit. Because this shit looks like dog shit. That's what it looked like. Like it was dog shit and I'm like broke. They gonna be like, what the fuck that he's just doing here? The turret is different. You know what I'm saying? The turret is respectable, like this human. Shit. It was bad. It was bad. And the flight attendant was cute. I was embarrassed. I got you.
