We dive into the line between a comedian and a comedic actor, why stand-up still carries weight, and how social platforms reshaped who gets crowned as “funny.” From Chappelle and Carrey to Drewski and DC Young Fly, we push on impact, craft, and respect.

• defining comedian vs comedic actor
• Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, and sketch-to-screen routes
• social media skits vs stand-up dues
• SNL, In Living Color, and improv lanes
• who belongs on the comedic actor Mount Rushmore
• Donald Glover’s multi-hyphenate blueprint
• streams, TikTok, and new gatekeepers
• live bomb vs movie flop tradeoffs
• 200 in-person vs 2 million online
• Jim Carrey vs Dave Chappelle for impact
• Kevin Hart: keep the stand-up or movies
• Drewski vs DC Young Fly credentials
• peers’ respect vs audience love
• value, underpayment, and owning your lane
• closing gems: mind your business, don’t force it, regulate emotions

We tackle money, weddings, and modern dating standards with clear eyes and steady humor, from the “trust fund baddie” demand to why gratitude and contribution set the tone for a real partnership. We end with practical advice on red flags, reflection, and honest talk.

• entitlement vs contribution in wedding costs
• cultural norms about who pays and why it matters
• standards that help vs strict checklists that harm
• the 666 filter and better character criteria
• flipping provider roles and how attitude ruins asks
• sending back $2,000 and the cost of comparison
• raising daughters with discernment about money and status
• love vs position as a strategy for marriage
• choosing nurturing substance over performative aesthetics
• three tools: reflect, test receptivity, communicate fatigue
