Warrior Ma! Hi, Gloria and ma. Hi, we are back for another episode of the new Rory and Maw. I am all. I'm Rory. And, well, I know who you are. Oh, yeah. But today we are joined. For the listeners. Yeah, for the listeners, for the viewership. But today, Rory, we are joined by somebody who has been crowned the most prolific story. You know how you're a storyteller. Probably not the level of this gentleman. Well, not this. Yes, this gentleman is a prolific storyteller. He's the best of the best when it comes to the stand-up comedy. He's currently on an international tour as well. One of the funniest guys, been watching him since probably before your time. I was watching, CET. I think Comic View. I think it was the first time I might have this gentleman years ago. So it's a pleasure to have him here in the studio today with us. Texas legend Ali Sadiq is in the building. Ali, how you feeling, brother? Good. Houston. Oh, see, they do that in Texas. You got to make sure it's specific. Yeah, two different places. Houston legend. It's two different places. Yeah, Dallas and San Antonio, Austin. They're different cities. Yeah, believe it? Totally different climates. Different climates, different weather. Different smell, the city smell, different. Different, everything.. Yeah. How you feeling though, man? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm doing great, man. Pleasures all mine, brother. So we knew you were coming in about maybe three weeks ago and I was telling Rory. I was like, yo, listen, I've been watching Ali Sadiq for years. And I was like, you know, there's one of the guys in comedy that I think we don't talk about

enough.

We're going to give you two decades.

Because when you said Comic View, you kind of said like it was years ago.

I was in Comedy View 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003.

So if you started watching me in Comic View, goodness, Goodness, gracious, that's almost the beginning of the career.

Right. That's what I'm saying. I started, I started 97, 2000. I'm on

Common View. So you've been watching for a long time. I appreciate that. I've been tuned in,

man. I've been tuned in. One of the, one of the best stand-ups, I tell you all the time. You're one of my favorites, Tony Roberts. Guys that I don't think we talk about enough in comedy. Like, every time I see your set, I'll catch you somewhere. I'm just like Ali is still, you know, out here kicking ass. So it is a pleasure to have you here with us today. Thank you. Congrats on the NWACP. Appreciate it. That's major.

I mean, to, to, to have an an son as well to have that award is, uh, something that's major. But how did that, when you wrote that piece, that's standing, but did you know that that's where it was going? Like, you know that that was an award that you was going to receive? Didn write it i didn't write that that's that's a relationship between me and my two sons i it was nothing to

write besides the title yeah wow yeah because that's you know that's um you know when you're doing

your life you don't have to write your life down.

You can remember your life.

And I was just, I was just giving a firm account of just the relationship between me and my two son that I probably had said them stories to my friends at the time.
