In Part 2, Arnez shares even more unbelievable stories—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.

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’s kept him in the game—and the gatekeeping that’s kept him out of things like Netflix’s Def Comedy reunion.

Arnez talks about auditioning for Showtime Allstars after just four months in comedy—beating 500 comedians but being edited out of the special. He shares what people get wrong about Mo’Nique, why he holds deep respect for Katt Williams, and why he avoids airing out dirty laundry.

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—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.

This raw conversation is packed with unforgettable stories, powerful moments, and nonstop laughs. Arnez J doesn’t hold back as he shares the heartbreak, hilarity, and healing that have shaped his one-of-a-kind journey. Tap in—you won’t want to miss a second.
