Welcome back to yet another Catholic Reckless episode with yours truly, Jess Hilarious. Now, I got a very special guest with me today. Now, I done had a lot of people on my podcast, from friends to family and everything like that. But this person is by far my favoritest person in the world. You want me to tell them who you want to introduce yourself? No, you go ahead.
All right, so y'all already heard the voice. Dead giveaway. Without further ado, my son, my baby, legend in the making, yours truly, Ashton James. Make some noise for him. Say what's up to him. What's up? Now listen, we are...
We all know you to be my son, but we don't know you like that. I mean, I know you, but they don't really know you like that. So we're going to get all up in your business or whatever, right? I'm pretty sure it's stuff going on in your life too, right? Yeah, yeah. I got life too. I know you got life too. I get it. I see. All right. We're going to start with school because one day last week you told me that you liked a particular girl. You know what I mean? And you was like, I'm going to go to school and I'm going to tell her I like her Monday. Did you end up telling her? Yes.
You told her? Yes. Alright. What she say? She said she don't know. She said she don't know? What she don't know? I don't know. She said she don't know if she like me. She said she don't know if she like you. What you do? Nothing. Nah, bro. Girl just ain't gonna tell you. She don't know. You got all the swag. You cool. You popular. You smart. I'm not that smart. What? Are you crazy?
You are smart as a whip. You are a genius. Let's go. Tell them about these grades. What are you talking about? In math, it was 100. In gym, it was a 100. In science, it was a 93. And in reading, it was a 97. And in art, it was a 95. Listen, listen.
Don't you ever say that you ain't that smart. Bro, you are smart. You're ahead of your class. And I ain't even talking about how big your head is. I'm talking about like you are ahead of your class for sure. You know that? Don't even let me get started on your head though.
First of all, shorty, we ain't even really be doing the roasting because you already know I can go 20 rounds with you. Nah, nah, nah. I can go 100 rounds on you, bro. We can go 20 rounds. I'll win 20 rounds. We can go a million rounds. I'll win a million rounds. Shorty, you're never beating me in roasting. I always have beaten you. You have never beaten me in roasting. My dog can beat you.
And roasting? Yes. Now you're just talking out the side of your little head now. Like, you just definitely just saying anything. Let's get back to this girl. So, yeah, don't make me say her name. You said don't say her name. I ain't going to say it. But you keep on trying to roast me on the low. I'm going to tell everybody that you like. Stop. Be quiet. All right, all right. I ain't going to. All right, all right. So what did you do for her to tell you that you don't know, that she don't know? I wasn't doing nothing. She just said she don't know. Yeah, she just said she don't know. Yeah.
Now, did you do something for her? Did one of your friends do something to her? Oh, this was before. At the start of fourth grade, my homeboy, one of my homeboys, they just went up to her and said she a bum. What? Damn. He just was like, yo, you're a bum, yo. Yes.
What you do? Why you was talking to your girl like that? I was talking to my friends just before I liked her. Oh, so you didn't like her when your homeboy called her a bum? No, this was before I liked her. Oh, it's before you liked her. Right, okay. So, do you feel like she's a bum? No. No, did you feel like she was a bum then? No.
So why you say that? Like, why you... I don't want to talk about that no more. All right, all right, all right. What you want to talk about? What are you going to put me on? What are you going to give me my own show? First of all, what the hell I look like? 50 Cent or Tyler Perry? I can't give you a damn show. We can get you a show together.
Will you stop being serious about TV? What type of show do you need? I am serious. Yo, you change your occupation every damn day. You want to play basketball? Do you want to sell cars? Do you want to be a cop? Do you want to be a rapper? Like, will you always change up? I don't know what you want to do. And one thing I'm not going to do, I'm not going to put all your eggs in one basket and put you on TV. And then one day you wake up and be like, I don't want to do this, ma. Like, because you know how you are. You're very indecisive. And you're only nine. So you don't know what you want to do yet. I'm 10. Shorty.
We're not going to lie to the people that already know how old you are. We just can't. Like, come on. So what would you have a show about? What do you want? Football. You would have a football show. Mm-hmm. And I've never seen a football show. What is that? It's going to be about me going to football camp. So like a reality show, like with you? Okay. What's your favorite football team? No, what's your favorite football team? Oh, the Ravens. What's your football team?
It don't matter. I ain't saying it. No, I said it. I don't feel like... Say it. Say it. Bro, I ain't trying... Say it. The Steelers, bro. I knew you was going to say what your big head is. Nah, it ain't no... They're not trash. No, they suck. They're trash. What's their record then? What's who record? What's the Steelers record? Yo, I just be so busy. I don't be getting time to watch the game. Nah, they got less wins than their loses. They don't even sound right.
They got less. Oh, all right. You did. They got less wins than losses. Yes. But you don't know their record, though. So you don't even know if that's true. No, I do know it's true. What is your stinking ass record? Seven and two. I mean, seven and three. Trash all day. I'm still wondering how we lose to the Dolphins, but win against the Bears. Oh, that's what you're wondering? Because y'all some trash. That's how. Steelers are trash. Yo, that was the most trashiest game I ever watched. The Ravens versus the Dolphins.
They really let a lineman run the ball. But it was a flag because he wasn't supposed to do that. Well, it sounds like you know a lot about football and you would like a show gearing around, you know, you learning how to play and going to camp and stuff. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, what positions have you played so far? Wide receiver, running back, tight end. Mm-hmm. And corner.
Corner. Yeah. I used to play DN. Okay. I play safety. Okay. What position did you like playing the best? Wide receiver. You like catching the ball and running it? Yeah, you are really good with that. You used to really like basketball, though. I got a joke about you that I tell on stage. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, about the lady coming out of the bathroom bodywork. Yeah, you crossed that up and shit. I think that's still funny to this day. But she was very old, so that's kind of fucked up. She was like 89. Yeah, she was old as a bitch. But it's all good, though. Like, you know, we like old people, right? They cool. I said we like old people, right? They cool.
Yo, you ain't trying to have no old people cancel your ass, yo, please. Nah, because they got Instagram too, yo. I can get canceled. I ain't trying to have you get canceled. That's what guys still got. Maybe on Facebook. Ay, yo, not you know about the old head club. Ay, yo. Because that's literally you. What?
What's me? You. How old am I? 25. I'm your 9. No. How old am I? 29. I'm 29, bruh. I'm not old. I am. No, it's not. It literally is not. How old is your grandmother? 52. That's old. You talking about some damn old. That's old. That's not.
Your granny old, y'all. Your grandmother old, bro. I don't care if she is my mama. She old. How does it feel being a son of a comedian? What do you think? It's real good.
You think so? Mm-hmm. Good. What about it feels good that people know me or that I'm funny, I'm your mom? Like, what about it is fun? It feels good because, like, everybody know you and because, like, of you, a lot of people know me. So, like, every time, like,
At school, a lot of the kids in higher grades than me, they be like, that's just hilarious, son. Yeah, like that, don't you? That's good. It feels good that people know you for something good. You know, you don't want people to know you for anything bad. And although I have...
Had a bunch of controversies where, you know, I may say something that may get me in trouble with the world or my fans or, you know, that doesn't make me a bad person. And I want to let you know, I actually became famous because I took a picture with you and I was naked. You remember that picture? Mm hmm.
We actually have it on our wall right there. Yeah. And a comedian had came at me. You remember that? Somebody came at me and he was talking crap about me and you and shit. And that's how I became a comedian. Actually, I was roasting him back and forth. He's another comedian. And I actually went to Wild N' Out.
That's how I got on Wild N' Out. I called myself auditioning because I knew he was on that show. And so I went up there just to, you know, get in his ass because, you know, you're my baby. And I just wasn't. I ain't like how he was talking about you. And I ain't like how he was talking about me. I went up there and I ended up getting on the show.
And you were actually the first kid on Wild 'N Out. You didn't even know that, did you? Yeah, you was the first kid on Wild 'N Out. Ashton made his TV debut on MTV's Wild 'N Out. I brought him up there my first year to film that week. And Nick literally was like, "No, he can be in this episode." So you were the first kid before Nick's 11 kids.
Like, you were the first kid on Wild N' Out, and I love that. That's really dope. You're still the only kid who was on there. How do you feel about that? Well, it's something to brag about, but... You ain't really too hype about it? You just be chillin'? Mm-hmm.
My son is so chill. Literally nothing gets to him at all. I'm trying to figure out why the hell he's so damn calm about certain things, but that's just him. That's who he is. That's my baby. But I heard you had shows in Atlanta. How'd them shows go? They went good. They went good. This past weekend, I did have shows, guys. Two sold-out theater shows at Center Stage in Atlanta, November 19th. I'm proud because I'm proud of you because
All your shows, before you even get to the city or the state, they be already sold out in like an hour. I know. They definitely be sold out. I remember, listen, not all my shows sell out in an hour, but that one year I did Baltimore Hippodrome, I think it was like three years ago.
Those tickets sold in an hour. That is so funny. That's the show that you're talking about? Yeah, so that's the first and only time that happened, but that was like a big accomplishment, like a huge accomplishment for me. I sold out of a theater in like
an hour like in Baltimore City in my own city and that reminds me I have the same exact venue to play this Friday the Hippodrome I'll be at that theater again so get your tickets Baltimore City yeah on my way home I saw you um on on the center your name on the center and billboards and everywhere how does that make you feel
Because, like, I'm glad your name is getting out. Yeah. And people is starting to book you more so you can make your money. Because a lot of people think you're really funny. Yeah, yeah. A lot of people do think I'm funny. Do you think I'm funny? Mm-hmm. Oh, you do. Oh, yes.
Because sometimes, remember you used to hate on me? Remember you used to be like, Ma, you ain't really that funny. Remember you used to say that? When I was little. That's when you was little. It still hurt my feelings when you said it.
I was playing. You definitely wasn't playing with me when you was telling me I wasn't funny, bro. I wasn't. You was like, yo, I don't know why everybody keep buying these tickets. Yo, you ain't even really that funny for real. I didn't say that. What did you say? No, I just said you wasn't funny. I was playing. And that was when I was like three. Yo, you was not three, Tombo. You ain't funny. You never told me I wasn't funny. You was my biggest fan when you was like three. You started saying that shit when you was like six.
He was like, yo, you ain't funny, bro. Like, you definitely told me that. Four years ago. Yo, you act like you got a hell of a life that you done lived. Yo, you been alive for nine little stinking ass years. Like, don't do all that. Oh, I been alive for 13. Okay, sure. You keep lying about your age. I know that's right. All right, cool. Hold up, hold up. I know this shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen.
