## Resource

In this episode of In Godfrey We Trust, Godfrey is joined by Guy Torry, Tony Tone, Dante Nero, and Akeem Woods for a real conversation about the comedy game right now and why “bums are getting bags.” They talk social media comics selling out shows, the algorithm rewarding consistency over talent, Rob Schneider backlash, Kill Tony debates, wedding gig horror stories, church crowd meltdowns, Fat Tuesdays saving The Comedy Store, and even the hidden history of Black inventors like the modern lightsaber creator. It’s funny, unfiltered, and honest about what it actually takes to survive in stand-up today. Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu. We got endless impressions, a white producer, random videos Godfrey found on the internet and so much more! We're not reinventing the wheel, we're just talking 'ish twice a week... with GODFREY on In Godfrey We Trust.
