In this episode of Emma's Bunker, she brings on an interesting guest Petey Deabru. He's also known as "The People Champs." Petey takes us into his crazy tail of life experiences. Starting from how someone tried to set him up by putting a loaded gun into his car to Why the heck Mike Tyson changed his life.
Petey DeAbreu Repping the tough streets of the BX, Petey DeAbreu is a fast-rising star on the New York City comedy scene.
He has appeared at the Greenwich Village Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, and EastVille Comedy Club. He recognized the power of humor at an early age, using it as a pre-emptive strike to keep from getting beaten up at school and around his 'hood.
Petey sheds some light on his life story of what inspired him to be a comedian coupled with some tidbits from Emma. He opens up on his first lockup experience, losing virginity while getting caught at the same time, his passion for making people laugh, and why the motivational speaking thing worked out for him.

"That's such a mindfuck to realize when you've people skills, but it's nothing you can put in a resume."
"We're conditioned and taught how to accept the L's instead of being conditioned on this is how you win."
"Yo, winners take Ls and come back early the next day. Winners have different perspectives in their minds. They perceive shit differently. They look it more of like "Rejection and loss just make my story better."
"It's a coping mechanism if you're not getting opportunities; it's like not setting you up to wanna keep trying to. If you don't keep getting opportunities, you're less likely to keep trying."
