[@aprilferguson1019]

Listen more, and ask questions that make sense. You repeated questions that he just answered 😳 made it long winded.

[@HotBreathPod]

@@aprilferguson1019 Thanks for the advice April! I've interviewed over 400 comics and am always looking to improve. What are some interviews you've done that I can learn from?

[@aprilferguson1019]

I am an observer sir. As a listener. I heard him being very descriptive. I learned a lot from him. That part of the interview was wonderful. However, it seemed as if he was trying to get you to understand his point throughout the whole interview. His story telling sold me on your interview. I would think as a person who was doing the interview, you would look more engaged instead of trying to keep up. This is only one perspective, mine. As an observer before I subscribe I wanna know that a person that I follow, and enjoy, is being interviewed by you… I hope that I will enjoy the interview, because the interviewer is well informed of the person that they are interviewing. You’re young and you have a lot of room to grow. However you could be as amazing as David letterman, Who also doesn’t always study… but admits it😁

[@HotBreathPod]

@@aprilferguson1019 Sounds great I appreciate you taking the time to share such helpful feedback. Fortunately Ali has enjoyed both interviews we've done together. He even said as the end of this one that this is one of the few podcasts he'll do so we're on the right track!

[@gordoloboalbondigas]

Have to agree---sharing him all around. LOVE the guy---completely brilliant.

[@EyeHeytEwe]

Fam was looking SHOOK whenever Ali was getting loud. 🤣🤣🤣 Had me cracking up over here. That's just how some of us talk, we get loud when we're passionate about a subject.

[@kee3000]

Love this comment. And we don't mean any harm. He said, "you're scaring me a little bit". 😂🤣 Loud = Passionate Ali is a mess! He was on his best sh** LOL I just love him.

I love Ali Siddiq and I’m black. I like his perspective. He’s real and sincere. I have sent his shows to my friends around the world.

[@ericlowery1304]

This shows how humble this brother is. He gives back and credits where he got his advice so that others know. He's a learned individual which means he's smarter than most.

[@bellachannell777]

I absolutely love Ali's unorthodox style of comedy. It's so captivating and refreshing! 👏🏼❤

[@blazze7772]

what makes Ali so great is the way he tells the story, his cadence, tone and his over all demeanor.

[@luckypenny312]

Just found this amazing comedian. No one like him! A class act and making a difference! He wont compromise honor and integrity for anything. How refreshing!

[@carmelrose6327]

Ali is pure talent 100% and 100% settled in his life. What a Champ 🏆🙏❤

[@lynlawrence9747]

I can listen to Ali Saddiq talk all day. Thank you so much for having him on❤️

[@glowormmcgee4924]

I could too he talks so calm i love it

[@novalove4790]

The one thing I love about Ali is that he is so humble. I think he'd be the same way if he were on a Dave Chappelle level as far as fame goes. Ali is so aware of himself as a comedian. I never heard anyone breakdown a true stand up comedian like that. I love how the interviewer didn't get combative when Ali got hype.

[@carried.piecebypeace6694]

I just found this guy today and I'm not stop laughing because I KZbin just about every snippet I could see of Ali. You are by far the Next Generations role model. If you haven't already KZbin his show at County jail. You were hilarious and in your special way gave great encouragement.

[@Majestic1Love]

There Is Nothing I Will Not Watch If #Ali #Siddiq Is On The Thumbnail. He Is 1 Of 1 For Sure!! 👊🏾🖤🇬🇧

[@pixiedragon5085]

Ali is a high brow comic without being pretentious. I got A LOT out of this interview. Thank you so much. Great advice, piercing honesty. I love it. ❤️

[@iamjoestone]

Officially an Ali fan. My new favorite comedian.

[@HotBreathPod]

He is the truth for sure. I post new interviews every week. Have you heard any of the others?

[@iamjoestone]

HotBreathPod I'm actually looking for the first Ali interview. Is it not on KZbin?

started noticing ali saddiq a few years ago after the release of the "this is not happening" , his pov and his ability to deconstruct it and put it back together in so many ways is amazing, i actually still learn something new every time i watch him

[@HotBreathPod]

Agreed! I just saw him in Atlanta and it's always a comedy masterclass watching him work! Have you heard the other interview we did with him?

[@Majestic1Love]

No Disrespect But He May Read Comments (I Dunno) But I Do Know Ali Has Stated That He Hates It When People Spell His Name That Way Coz He Is Not A "SAD-DICK" His Name Is Siddiq! (His Words) 🧐

[@crochetbabe829]

I have just learned about him for about a week now and I love this guy!!! He's so intellectually funny all at the same time. I would love to see his show live. And the gems he dropped is golden but you have to have lived to be even know their gems.

[@Starringo58]

This interview was one of the most insightful I've ever seen. I've been an Ali fan for a long time but had no idea he was 16 years into the game before he ever did a prison bit. He has always been one of my favorite storytellers.

[@HotBreathPod]

Wow thanks Stephen! Do you also do comedy?

[@vonettalcooks3536]

My 20 years old son turned me on to his comedy and he has me in Tears I lived in that lifestyle.. he's been talking about ..he made a bad life situation funny And sometimes you just have to laugh at what you been through 💯💯 Thank you brother

[@laticiacrigler1762]

I fell in love with Ali when he was on This Isn't Happening. I'm black, what he means not accepted by black people. I love the way he structured his comedy; it's genius. Laughter has no color.

[@jackiemajor4409]

Ali is not a sell out. He is keeping his soul intact and being who he is and confident and humble in who he is in his comedy. Blessings brother.💪🏾😊

[@moeseager8422]

Ali's comedy is is as real as it it gets. I watch all of his clips. He's an exceptional human being.

[@richardfelix6317]

When slowed his speech and lowered his voice, he was pissed. Glad he kept going with the interview. Thanks Ali, much respect.

"work your craft" - Ali got heart when he speaks his truth.

[@lindarollocks527]

I love this man. He is the most realest person. He’s funny as hell. He is also smart and knows what he stands for.

[@923charchar]

Ali’s message is being overshadowed by his argumentative responses. Clearly the interviewer knows Ali and he’s setting Ali up with questions that should allow Ali to expand and talk about himself…. Ali’s coming with such a persecutory energy and it’s fkn up the whole vibe. I’m having a hard time finishing this one.

[@hydroking619]

This guy is so wise! Everything he’s was saying about standup and comics not focusing on it and doing other things (Movies, sitcoms, music, travel shows) was so eye opening to me. Guys like Ail Siddiq, Nate Bargatze, big jay, Rory Scovel, rick velez, Mark normand. are prime examples of just focusing on your craft and staying in your lane (stand-up comedy) I recently went to a standup show and I was really excited to watch the headliners hour (not gonna say their name) I was in my seat next to a couple of friends and then Ricky velez came on stage to open the show. Prior to this I had never heard of him.... Ricky fucking killed it and the whole theatre was crying of laughter... then he went off stage and the headliner came up and did well but you could tell he wasn’t as sharp and hungry and all in for stand up comedy.... Main point being any of the guys I just mentioned would destroy today’s “big comedy stars” because they are all in for stand up.

[@LeahPLynn]

Im late to the cookout, but Man Ali was dropping some Gems in here! I'm a beginning Student in the Stand up Arena Myself, took the $500 Comedy class and I learned more in this HOUR, than I have all year! Thank you Hot Breath & Ali! Keep helping US Newbies, So We can all achieve OUR OWN mastery...cause What is For You..is for You!

Wow I’m so grateful you found the show and it’s helping! Is this the first interview of ours you’ve seen?

[@LeahPLynn]

@@HotBreathPod No..Ive seen a few of them.. All good info. First time commenting.

[@BambiKushtheSmutPeddler]

It really surprised me to hear Ali talking about how he doesn't feel like he is seen as a "famous" comedian. He is literally, hands down one of my top few favorite comedians. Out of EVERYBODY. He's incredible. He is right, though, in the sense that he seems to be far too REAL to be some plastic Hollywood fame machine. It's all about perpspective, I suppose. If you see this, Ali, you are a damn BOSS and I not only admire you, but I have an immense amount of respect for you and I appreciate the work that you do. You have made me laugh when I am having the worst days and I didn't think I could smile let alone a laugh out loud belly laugh. I know there are TONS of people who feel the same way. Thank you for doing what you do and please do not ever stop! You deserve the best that this world has to offer.

[@justinr4201]

What I like about Ali is that when he's telling a story, it doesn't seem funny to him. That brings a realness to the story and proves that he's authentic. He just has a way of delivering and just setting in it whether or not the listener thinks it's funny. THAT'S what makes him funny. Not surprised that hes not a rehearsal comedian. My guess is that that style wouldn't work for him. Ali is a great and unique comedian! I can't wait to see him live!

[@HotBreathPod]

Thanks for watching! You are correct, he's even better live!

[@gordoloboalbondigas]

Blessings and unlimited opportunities to you my brother❤️

He is my favorite… I was just commenting how he has replaced Dave as my favorite. Since Dave left for so long his comedy has changed. I still like him but you could tell he got used to the good life. That’s fine, but the jokes don’t hit the same. Ali is great to listen to talk about anything.

Ali gently educated the young man on the “revealing the bottom of your foot”. Well done.

[@tonyatruesdale362]

Ali, I have ALWAYS thought the world of you since the very first time I heard any of your comedy! But after this interview, I love you even more. You are honest and true to yourself and your craft. I loved how when he wasn’t understanding what you were saying, you set him straight saying, “Why can’t being an amazing stand up be enough!? I’m not JUST a standup! I AM a stand up comedian! Dude, you nailed that shit! That is EXACTLY right! Then at the end of the interview when you talked about the warm up guy, and how he is living his best life, working two WEEKDAYS a week, (maybe he wants to be home with his family on weekends) and he’s happy. He’s HAPPY. Man, THAT is success. That is fulfillment. Being happy, with who and what you are, and what you put out into this world. You are doing that man. More importantly, more than anything, your babies are watching you do that. You are setting an amazing example as to what true leadership and integrity is in this life. Man you killin it. Absolutely killin it. As a comedian, a father…a human being man. You absolutely inspire me. God how I wish you all the best! Much love and blessings to you and yours! ❤️👑💯🙌🏻

You are really another Dave Chappelle to me. I absolutely love listening to your comedy story telling. You can capture and hold my attention, and that says a loT, because not many people can. You tend to remind me of Dave Chappelle, and that’s a good thing. Maybe a more mature and intelligent crowd would appreciate you more, because you are certainly talented and awesome at what you do.

[@cgyork92]

Man, I love Ali’s comedy. Seen him live a couple times, watched tons of videos, seen the specials he’s put out, etc. But I find it so hard to listen to him in interviews for some reason. Dude’s hilarious, but there’s something about the way he interacts with people that’s just off-putting man. That being said, this was a great interview. It’s nice to hear someone essentially say, “just go up there and be yourself man, you’ll work it out. There’s no rules to this shit!”

[@leomarilyn4232]

He speaks his truth, no need to write anything down he has so much trauma and retelling his stories are actually life events that lead to more reflection that's why you can feel him in his emotions that's life. His on his own lane, he has a valuable voice that can be that sound and reason to transform our at risk your to turn their lives around a cautionary testimony that makes him Gold he is not glamorizing any of the criminal lifestyle it has high risks and consequences and he has paid for it all in his lifetime all that is raw and insane and it has a place that is fictional in this society at all levels

[@georgiapeach8189]

I love him he’s so funny and great skills in storytelling.

[@HotBreathPod]

For sure one of the best!

[@stevepalmateer]

The greatest stand-up comic in the game in my humble opinion.

[@fitmel922]

The Gem I took away from what I watched, was the difference between a FREE comedian doing what they feel... their natural (gift) presentation being funny. And some of these people trying to monetize & teach people to be funny. It doesn't work that way!!!!

[@JustUdoro]

THE 💎💎💎💎 my goodness! I love that his intensity is not personal…it’s about teaching and offering an opportunity to learn and hopefully apply to Self. WOAH!! This was great!

Big fan from day one 👏 💪

[@georgeholt325]

Ali is one of my favorite living comics. Having said that, he was wrong about Richard Pryor's movie career. "Lady Sings the Blues" was released in 1972, "JoJo Dancer, Your Life is Calling" was released in 1986. I saw them both in the theaters when they were new (I'm old, lol).

Doing other things outside of stand up is a marketing strategy. It will put your comedy out there to a broader audience. Ali is from my hometown and I just discovered him this year 24. (I’m a fan now ) . But I didn’t know him b4 . It’s all a personal choice to just stick with stand up .

..id say Chapelle / Saddiq saddle-up and get these people what they want. Saddiq is a natural born killer. He just has a very specific ability to walk the wire of telling stories to any crowd, and we all feel like we lived it. The man is funny.
