They dive into how audiences judge comedians like Shapel Lacey, a Black comic raised by white parents, and why some people expect "Black jokes" just because you're Black—regardless of your lived experience.They also compare Josh Johnson and DC Young Fly, explore how audience demographics impact comedic style, and ask if being embraced by white crowds makes you "less Black" as a performer.And to top it off, the duo plays a wild round of “This or That,” debating whether you'd rather box Mike Tyson in his prime or do one MMA round with Jon Jones.Subscribe and tap in—it’s one of those episodes.#MikeMurphyShow #MikeMurphy #JohnGrimes #PatriceONeal #BlackComedy #ShapelLacey #DCYoungFly #JoshJohnson #StandUpComedy #ComedyDebate #BlackCulture #ComedianLife #JonJones #MikeTyson #ThisOrThat
