Ali Siddiq |

Welcome back to another episode of #GetSome!
My first guest back in the new studio Ali Saddiq. We talk about how we first met. Comic view and his first TV appearance. We talk jail and what the racial divide is like. There's no rush like getting on stage as a new comic and Ali reminisces about the advice D.L. gave him as a young comic. We talk comedy circuits during the pandemics, sparring with big dudes and that Kevin Hart’s next tour should be in space! Hope you guys enjoy. See you next week!

For anyone who has only seen his youtube specials, you NEED to see ALI in a club - he is NOT JUST an amazing storytelling, he's got jokes per minute. Dude is a BEAST.

[@ashleyj7011]

My time coming this month 💯😊

[@heyheyNow]

When I hear Ali, all I hear is him saying “My mamma was quality” and “amenities” love this man ❤

[@beggasbutter3491]

Ali is a Great storyteller. Love him 🤩

[@jeromemaxwell3784]

Yes he's a great person to listen to and I'm sure be around.

[@denesehooker6343]

Yes he is😂😂

[@davejohnsonart1]

I came on here just to say this. I am ENRAPT in his stories

[@SugeRay78]

Found Ali on KZbin and been a fan every since💯

[@Rjonesy101]

"Mexicans got on boots" is slang amongst High Schoolers in my area for a fight happening amongst students off campus. Ali out here creating slang 😂

[@beautifullycreated3224]

Ali is that guy. I cld listen to his stories all day

[@denesehooker6343]

Me too

[@Khrys32]

Especially the prison stories! 😂

I can tell Gary is doing his best this season to not over talk or out story his guest now. Great Job!

[@jwdathefax377]

I don’t like the over talking but I love when he shares similar stories. I’ve learned a lot about the behind the scenes stuff involving stand up because of it. He’s usually just relating to the guest when he does that anyway. “Trying to out story” doesn’t even really seem like Gary’s personality if you think about it.

[@iLuvGaming]

I can imagine it’s hard when a podcast turns into a conversation, forgetting that the guest is a guest lol he probably so use to talking with friends . I see a lot of podcasters do this, for the viewer though, we don’t like it lol not too much

[@jwdathefax377]

@@iLuvGaming Nah Id rather see the “two friends talking” format than hear the guests answer a bunch of generic typical talk show questions.

[@maximumcarnagex-]

I rather see to friends talking especially to people that are naturally funny the conversation going be funny as hell anyways

[@gcchair7634]

Two of my favorites…..I’ve seen both of these men in person…Gary a few years ago twice and Ali last summer. I am mesmerized by Ali….he sat on that stool and we asked for more and the set was over 2 hrs in a club…He is an amazing storyteller. I think hes is the best.

[@Gir-Riff-raffe]

I met Gary and Jo Koy on two different instances while they were on tour passing thru just visiting at this pilot truck stop in middle of nowhere indiana. Both were just flattered I knew them. Middle of nowhere. Jo said to one of his entourage “yknow what you’re gadam right I got fans!” An I said hhhhhhhail yeah bud bring it in👊. And since then he starred in a new movie and dropped a new Netflix special. Because he’s so freakin nice. People have to want to do things with you. That’s why he’s so successful.

[@tonyaivory772]

Great story.Thanks for sharing with us.I like them both.Vety funny men.Will have you crying laughing so hard.Bless them both.

[@JoseMoreno-xe7gu]

Ali is in my top 5, hands down. Seen his set in person, captivating and fucking hilarious

[@Ramses_VII]

Man i saw Ali earlier this year and brother went until 1am....too much fun

[@DeidraAnn]

Ali is a great storyteller and is hilarious!

[@passionatelistener2244]

Gary thanks gor having Ali on. We love him. Such a great story teller

Ali Saddiq the Greatest Story Teller Alive ❤️❤️

[@vixxa]

Gary is write. With Ali, you have to sit and listen. Period. So funny, so different in how he sets up a joke and such a great story teller.

[@jewelallah2889]

Funny thing about being a 70s baby is I didn't even realize it was in black and white 😅 I was so into the show that color was irrelevant; 70s babies are used to seeing "TV" in multiple levels of color because our grandparents were still watching black & white and then things became colorized 😂 We were here before color TV, cable, cell phones, computers, etc. 😆 Even color TV has changed over the years. The Forgotten Generation (Gen X) has seen it all!!!!! 🤣 Great choice of color Ali Siddiq...very creative ❤

[@ericaq4762]

OMG! I LOVE that you had Ali Saddiq on your podcast. What a testimony and what a great storyteller! 🥰

[@N80N8theGr8]

32:32 Black and white was beautiful and genius! My memory of it is full of color

[@ThatChickKim]

23:50 - THANK YOU Gary! Because as SOON as Ali said Christie Teigen I said, "Who tf made her a judge? And for what??"

[@brandygee9954]

[@lockyock7]

[@mindovermatter9624]

Seen Gary Owens in the bathroom at a comedy club one day. I wanted to say some like, can I get a autograph or a picture but it was the most awkward time. So all I said was, what’s up. Lol but he was funny as hell at the Funnybone in Richmond. Then Ali came to the Funnybone and I missed it. I was so upset at myself. Really wanted to see him live. Smh

[@andreawashington4256]
