Gary Owen returns to VladTV for a sharp, candid conversation on language, comedy, and control in the streaming era. The comedian reacts to UFC star Dustin Poirier’s viral Atlanta airport moment, where Poirier used the N-word while speaking to a Black cop, discussing why some Black UFC fighters defended him and why Owen believes the delivery avoided major backlash. The interview then shifts to stand-up comedy’s changing business model, with Owen comparing Netflix, Showtime, HBO, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and YouTube as platforms for specials. He weighs in on Ali Siddiq’s independent success, the frustrations of comics like Ryan Davis, and why timely material—like jokes about the Diddy situation—can work better on YouTube than waiting months for a streamer release. Owen also mentions Mo’Nique, Earthquake, Luenell, Nate Jackson, and his own special No Hard Feelings.
