Episode 517 w/ Mojo Brookzz

Noreaga (0:43)

What it could be, hope it's you, when it should be, this is your boy NAO NAA.

Eric 'DJ EFN' Narciandi (0:47)

Yeah, yo, it's me, Cypher Seth, very famous in New York, what's good?

SPEAKER_3 (0:50)

This is just New York. This is Drink Champs' Military Crazy Hour. Make some noise!

Noreaga (1:00)

Now, I know this man doesn't know this, but the person that I'm about to introduce is hands down my favorite new comedian. I know he doesn't know this. I don't know this. I know he doesn't know this. This man can go on stage, he can go with any crowd, he will light it up, he'll make you call your spouse, he'll make you find out you're gay and you didn't even know you were gay. You're just like, man, I went on a date, a man date and I didn't even know?

He is one of the funniest people on the planet. I call one of the other funniest people on the planet to come in and guest host with me. In case you don't know, I'm talking about this man. I'm telling you from skits to whatever, he is the undeniable, the renaissance man. He's the guy, if you don't know who he is, then you are under a rock.

SPEAKER_3 (1:43)

And the, Mojo Brookzz, in the building.

Noreaga (1:48)

But this is how ghetto I am. I spelled your name with a Z.

Mojo Brookzz (1:51)

Okay, no, that's cool. That's how I spell it.

Noreaga (1:53)

Okay, okay, okay.

Mojo Brookzz (1:53)

Okay, ZZ.

Noreaga (1:54)

Okay, all right, cause when the white people spelled it with K it's ass. K it's ass, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mojo Brookzz (1:58)

They been trying to get me to, the white people been trying to get me to change it just to ass for like the last two years.

Noreaga (2:03)

Okay, hold on, hold on. Are the white people trying to get you to put the S in?

Mojo Brookzz (2:06)

They want me to change it to like how my name is really spelled with the S. You should do it like that.

Noreaga (2:12)

The Z is for the soap house.

Mojo Brookzz (2:14)

They feel like the Z is like ghetto.

Noreaga (2:16)

They feel like the Z is ghetto, but I like the Z.

Eric 'DJ EFN' Narciandi (2:18)

So you can hold down two Zs on the air.

Mojo Brookzz (2:22)

So now if I'm going to get rid of them, it's going to be one at a time.

Noreaga (2:25)

Let me tell you something, Sife and Mojo.

One of the things about being an artist is having that art to react on stage. It's one thing to have a hit record. You ever see a guy have a hit record, or and then they go on stage and you're like, man, he didn't even care. Like one thing about you, bro, from the beginning of when you work on stage to the end, you, it's like you detect your fucking audience. Like you tear that shit apart. Like my DJ, right? My DJ goes in the crowd and he'll tell me what we're going to perform before we perform. But he has that time.

SPEAKER_5 (3:07)

How do you do that when you go on?

Mojo Brookzz (3:09)

Man, it just happened right there. Like when I first walk out there. But I don't think a lot of people really understand the way the mind of a comedian really works. And you've been on stage, so you definitely know. But you know, a lot of times what's coming out of our mouth is not what we're actually thinking. So what I'm saying, you know what I'm saying? I could be saying something, but I can be really thinking about what I'm about to say 10 minutes from now. All while, you know, observing the room and just paying attention to different tendencies. Like I look at everything, like if it's a guy and a lady sitting to each other, I'm watching as I'm performing, I'm watching how they interact with each other. Are they together? Ooh, do this look like a first date? So I'm observing the room like that. Even if it's two dudes, like that's gonna raise the eyebrow right away.

Noreaga (3:58)

What y'all doing in here? What the hoes?

SPEAKER_6 (4:01)

What the hoes at?

Noreaga (4:02)

I believe it was two dudes you had in the audience. And you, but they were like masculine dudes, but they were on a date.

SPEAKER_3 (4:10)

And you caught it like, no, no, the Miami guy.

Mojo Brookzz (4:14)

I think I was in, I think that's when I was, I think it was Atlanta. No, no, no, because I heard it happen twice, but one of the times the dudes was actually gay.
