Episode Description

On this episode of the Stay Tranquilo Podcast, we sit down with comedy legends Chris Spencer and Ryan Davis for a raw, hilarious, and insightful conversation straight from Super Bowl week.

From cultural identity and comedy politics to mentorship, touring, and navigating today’s comedy landscape — this episode goes deep. Chris opens up about his Hulu special Go to Jason, his role as a mentor to some of the biggest names in comedy, and why stand-up will always be at the core of who he is. Ryan shares how YouTube strategy, timing, and authenticity helped his special Underrated rack up millions of views — and why ownership matters more than ever.

We also get into:

The reality of comedy mentorship

Old-school vs new-school stand-up

Why YouTube is changing comedy forever

Behind-the-scenes stories from Don’t Be a Menace

Black Comedy in America and preserving the culture

Why comedians support comedians (and why that’s rare elsewhere)

Funny, honest, and packed with legendary stories — this is one you don’t want to miss.
