Dad's Carrier Business and Selling Powder

Neal Brennan interviews Ali Siddiq (9+ standup specials) about dealing crack, his dad dealing cocaine, getting arrested and incarcerated, the emotional toll of his sister's death, being a "weird dad," growing up experiencing relative levels of poverty, the valet parking landscape of Houston, Slim Thug, his attitude toward violence, shooting people, breakdancing, how Billy D. Washington and D.L. Hughley helped him find his storytelling voice, 'This Is Not Happening,' longtime grudges, and how his life has been a rollercoaster of gratitude.
