Give us the back story.
Give us the origin story of Timmy Knob.
Where do you hail from?
Jersey kid, right?
I'm a Jersey kid.
What part of New Jersey?
Trenton.
Trenton.
Capital.
Yeah, capital of New Jersey.
That's good.
Yeah, I grew up.
So I had a hard beginning.
I grew up over a dumpster fire underneath the 85 highway.
Okay.
In Trenton and stuff.
My mother was a whore.
And my father never met him, right?
And so I was, you know, basically on my own from as a baby.
Right?
Fending for my own, you know?
And a lot of black people there.
That's how I got into black culture and stuff.
Started slinging dope at three.
Lost my virginity at five.
Damn.
Yeah, yeah.
How old was she?
She was like 70.
She was one of those, you know.
You have a type.
So she was a whore, obviously.
Of course.
And I was like, I got to get it in, you know?
So I paid.
She was older, whatever.
And then she ended up paying me back with interest because I fucked this show
good.
Whoa.
So after that, I got into porn.
And, but it was just me, you know?
It was, they were all, they were all milfs, gilfs or whatever.
And I was doing that for a while.
And then eventually I get to the point where I'm about 17 years old and I
mastered a bunch
of stuff.
I was, I was doing chef stuff.
I was making Girl Scout cookies for a while, selling them on my own.
Top seller.
Yeah.
Bootleg shit, samosas, you know, all that sort of stuff.
And, uh, tag, tag lawns and, you know, and I, I remember I was going door to
door and
there was this, uh, this door I went up to and I had my Girl Scout cookies and
I dressed
up like a Girl Scout to really get the sales going.
Nice.
And, uh, they were there and, uh, they were like, I don't want those cookies,
right?
Uh-huh.
And I look him in the eyes and I'm like, yeah, you do.
And I could not get this guy to buy my cookies.
And so I ended up just a joke came out of me, right?
And I was like, you're gay.
And all of a sudden he started dying laughing.
He bought the rest of the cookies that I had.
So I was like, maybe there's something here.
I hit up an open mic.
There was this guy, uh, 17 at the time.
I'm 17 and there was a guy named Johnny Screwball in the, or Freddie Hammers,
something like
one of those guys in the audience.
He sees me.
I go up and I kill.
Looking for talent.
Yeah.
I guess.
I don't, I don't know.
He's an agent in Trenton.
Yeah.
Uh, something like that.
Trenton showbiz.
There's a big Trenton scene.
There's a big, it's.
Capital of showbiz.
It is literally the new Hollywood.
And I, you know, so I was there.
I go up, I kill, right?
I kill.
This guy's like, I want you to come on the road with me.
So I start doing road dates with this guy.
Freddie Hammers.
First, Freddie Hammers or Johnny Screwball.
It was one of them.
I really can't remember.
How long ago was this?
Uh, well, I'm 18 now.
So that was, uh, that was like six, six or seven months ago.
Oh, no, no, no.
It was like, it was like 10 months ago or whatever.
And, uh.
Man, you lived a life you can't remember six months ago.
Oh my God.
I am so.
That's a lot of pussy.
I am so hopped up on, um, cocaine most of the time that I don't remember my
nights.
Uh, that's the only way that I can fuck that much.
Cause we all know cocaine gives you massive erections.
Of course.
So anyways, I do, I do that show.
I start to get taken on the road by this guy.
And the first night that I'm on the road, I bury him.
He bombs out the road.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jesus.
How much time are you doing?
Well, I was supposed to do five, but I ended up doing an hour and a half.
That'll bury anybody.
So, so I do an hour and a half riffing the whole thing.
I don't have material and stuff.
I'm like, you're gay.
You're a whore.
You, you know, take out your dick.
Show me a dick.
That's a micro.
Roasting people.
Killing.
For an hour and a half.
Killing.
Telling my stories.
Talking about Trennan.
You know, I, I ended up, uh, playing, uh, you know, I ran out.
I was like, you know, lost.
I was running out of steam, to be honest, for the first time, uh, doing standup.
And, and I started, uh, I took out a deck of cards and I started to just play
war with,
uh, different people in the audience.
And, um, people were laughing a lot.
I'm like, I win.
And people, you know, start dying.
You win every hand, I assume.
Every fucking hand.
I'm like, ace, cause I cheat.
And, uh.
I was going to say lucky guy.
So, yeah, I, I was on the road.
I was doing that.
And then, um, uh, had that set.
And he ended up being like, okay, I'll open for you.
Whoa, switched like that?
Switched it like that.
That's why he started to do my four hour set.
You're doing four hours, four hours?
So I, I give him three minutes.
I was giving him three minutes at the time.
How was he doing with the three minutes?
Well, he was so afraid to, to, you know, bet.
He would bomb.
He would bomb.
He also wasn't a good comic cause he just does, uh, hammer material.
He's like, I'm Johnny Hammers.
I'm going to nail you.
And it's like.
He wants to hear that.
So he wants to hear that.
You would bury him going after him.
Yeah.
Have you ever done that?
Jesus Christ.
The foreshadow, I'm serious.
The foreshadowing of me doing well would reverse bury a man.
Damn.
I'm the only person that's ever done that.
I call it the Timmy no breaks bury technique.
Um, it's like a funeral up there, you know, it's, it's like a wait.
It's a wait for you.
It is.
It is.
And, uh, so yeah, I started reverse burying him and then I just dropped him
from the tour.
I started to do my own tour.
Exactly.
Then, uh, I was in Austin.
I've told this story before, but I was in Austin, uh, doing the mothership, you
know,
like Kelly and the mother.
They, they didn't know, but I just kind of the way I do it is if I want to do a
show
somewhere, I show up, I bump whoever.
Don't matter.
And so I bumped, uh, Rich Voss off the show.
He's a friend of, Rich is a friend of our show.
Yeah.
He was really upset about it.
And then by the end of it, he, uh, was trying to get me.
You're listening like this is real.
Dude, I just looked over and he's like, yeah, what else, Mr. Break?
No, this is all real.
And, um, and so I was about to go up, right?
I was about to go up, do my set.
And then they told me about this show, Kill Tone or whatever.
And apparently it's just, uh, it's the number one live homosexual podcast.
Huge show.
It's huge.
It's just the number one live podcast.
No, it's a homosexual.
No, it's a homosexual.
I think they, I've done it and I'm not a homosexual.
You don't have to be gay to do it.
I've done it.
I'm not gay.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
So anyways, they were like, Hey, don't do this yet.
Come and sign up for Kill Tone.
And, uh, they put me up at the end and, uh, you know, people didn't really get
what I
was doing for the minute.
But as soon as I get into the interview, it's just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,
pop, pop,
I shined.
And, uh, yeah, it started, uh, you know, life changed after that.
The rest is history.
I was doing, I was doing, you know, like theaters before and now I'm doing, uh,
stadiums.
Stadiums?
Yeah.
There's a stadium.
I thought it was 180 seat intimate theater.
Well, that was a, that was a theater show because I, you know, Long Island is,
uh, you know,
one of the places I love giving back to is the charitable thing.
So I, I, I, yeah, instead of charging a hundred dollars for tickets, it was 75,
you know,
like I knocked it off for them.
Do you donate that money when it's a small check like that?
I do.
I do.
I donate it to myself.
What's the most you made on one show?
I heard it was 7 million.
Yeah, it was, I think it was 7 million.
And then my agent and my manager get a cut.
So it was like 6.9 or something like that.
That's another thing I heard too, that your agents and managers, they take less
just to
work with you.
Exactly.
0.2% I heard.
0.2%.
Well, the first manager and agent I had would pay me every show I did.
And then just for the opportunity.
And then I, I would imagine if you represent Timmy, no breaks to people are
banging at your
door to be on your client.
Yeah.
They're like, this is a walking advertisement all the time.
So I'm with UTA now and UTA signed me in order to become successful.
Sure.
Because they were one of the smallest, they were unheard of, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You probably never heard of them nine months ago.
I think it's when I started.
Nobody knew them.
And then they signed me and then, and then now they're like one of the top.
We don't have that kind of talent.
Yeah.
I mean.
Undeniability.
It's just, it's just everything, you know, comes to me easy.
I make music now.
I do rap.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I put out an album, Timmy No Break self-titled, check it out on Spotify.
What instruments do you play?
So I do the entire production myself.
Okay.
I do all the raps.
I engineer it and I distribute it.
Wow.
So the only thing that, the only special thanks I could give on it, because
nobody else actually
did anything was the owner of the studio gave me head the whole time.
Okay.
And so special thanks, Diane Keaton.
Diane Keaton Studios?
Yes.
You ever heard of it?
Of course.
It's great.
It's a great place.
You gotta do Diane Keaton Studios.
Because I heard you were the first rapper to feature on his own song.
Yes.
That's right.
That's crazy.
Yes, I've got Def Jam featuring Timmy No Breaks, and I do the whole song.
And then I'm like, and then I, you know, like whenever you do, I don't know if
you listen
to black stuff, but whenever I do, whenever you do a rap song, you know, you
set up the
feature, like get a Kendrick Lamar.
And so I did that to myself, just because I'm an innovator, you know?
I got a question.
Timmy No Breaks, the feature, bury Timmy No Breaks, the rapper on the show?
Yes, I buried myself.
That's crazy.
And that's something I started to do with my shows, right?
So I've got an opener, a feature, and me, but it's all me.
Can you believe that?
That's how you build the progression.
Exactly.
And you're triple dipping on the pay, too.
That's right.
Money goes right in your pocket.
Right in the coffin.
Boom.
What does Timmy No Breaks, the host, get paid per show?
So it's around seven, you know, a million, and then-
As a host, Jimmy-
The host gets seven million?
Yeah, we all get seven.
So that's about a $21 million.
That's $75 a ticket.
Have you heard this guy Shane Gillis or something like that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's doing Lincoln or whatever.
Yeah, he's doing a link.
