Club Shay Shay - Arnez J. Part 2

<p>In Part 2, Arnez shares even more unbelievable stories&mdash;from reacting to a bomb threat mid-flight to pushing an old woman during the chaos. He describes doing comedy routines over the plane intercom and how a passenger pushed him to pursue stand-up. He recalls his first open mic at Comedy Works, meeting Robert Townsend, and drawing early inspiration from Flip Wilson, Robin Williams, and Jim Carrey.<br /><br />He details his rise in comedy alongside legends like Martin Lawrence, Tommy Davidson, Bernie Mac, and Cedric the Entertainer. From wearing roller skates on Def Comedy Jam to out-skating Usher, Arnez reflects on the originality that&rsquo;s kept him in the game&mdash;and the gatekeeping that&rsquo;s kept him out of things like Netflix&rsquo;s Def Comedy reunion.<br /><br />Arnez talks about auditioning for Showtime Allstars after just four months in comedy&mdash;beating 500 comedians but being edited out of the special. He shares what people get wrong about Mo&rsquo;Nique, why he holds deep respect for Katt Williams, and why he avoids airing out dirty laundry.<br /><br />He opens up about his traumatic childhood: being shot by his father during a PTSD episode, his troubled relationship with his mother, and the moment a police officer assaulted him for skating backwards&mdash;an event that ended his baseball dreams and put the officer in a coma. He also talks about how martial arts, fatherhood, and comedy helped him heal.<br /><br />This raw conversation is packed with unforgettable stories, powerful moments, and nonstop laughs. Arnez J doesn&rsquo;t hold back as he shares the heartbreak, hilarity, and healing that have shaped his one-of-a-kind journey.
