Nah, you good, you good, you good, boss. How's everything? Everything good, though? Man, I ain't got no complaints, man. I'm golden. I'm back on tour, so, you know, getting my pockets replenished. Just bought a house, bro. Listen, every morning, ask the man upstairs, man,
Starting point is 00:05:39 to make sure that cup continue to run its over. You're going to be all right. Come on. Come on, man. I bought my first house, though. I need every dollar. Oh did you? Yeah man, I just bought my first house. Southern California so you know they're gonna charge you eight million dollars for one and a half bedroom zero bath. Congratulations, congratulations. Tony did you always want to be a comedian? Were you a class clown? Were you funny always? When did you decide to say, you know what, I'm going to be a stand up?
Starting point is 00:06:12 You know what, man? I was always funny and didn't realize it because I'm the youngest of three boys. So I'm trying to crack jokes at the house. My brothers would never laugh. They gave me nothing So I would go to school. I would go to school thinking I wasn't funny So I'm making the kids laugh, but it didn't even represent cuz I was like man I ain't funny at home though And then you know when we young and we teens and we in the girls you don't want to be fun You try to be all yeah You know, you got some jod got some Jodeci boots on. You just like, yeah, they girl.
Starting point is 00:06:47 They be like, you funny. I'll be like, no, no, I ain't trying to be funny. You know what I'm saying? And so I never really paid attention to my funny until I got to college. And then that's when it clicked. But you know women like guys that are funny. But Tony, you know women like guys that are funny.
Starting point is 00:07:03 One of the things that they say are sense of humor. Laugh and run about the draws. I found that out later. Mm-hmm. I found it out later. I'm gonna ask you this. When did you get into the voiceover? Because that's kind of how I stumbled upon you.
Starting point is 00:07:20 You were doing voiceover, cast, dog, I forget, what's the, Scotty, Scotty and. I heard it's the Scotty. How did you get into the voiceover? You know what it was? We always had pets growing up. So, you know, I never lived without an animal
Starting point is 00:07:41 in the house somewhere until I went to college. And so I was always wondering what they was thinking about. Just looking at cats and dogs and like, what y'all thinking about? And so I did this, I did two videos. It was one of this goat in Brazil, just harassing the hell out of everybody, man. Just, he just claiming-
Starting point is 00:07:59 O'Prio Cram, O'Crammleton. Crammleton, man. He just, he knocked this lady over. She had grocery bags and this dude's have to save them So that was the very first one I did and then I did this second one This raccoon was eating out of a cat food dish and the cats was surrounded them looking at him like he crazed He like yo, man, who's the man right here? And he's looking at them and then he'd dip off and then come back for one last scoop and then you run off. Yeah, and so
Starting point is 00:08:27 That's the one that went viral and started like let me let and then come back for one last scoop and then he'd run off, yeah. And so that's the one that went viral and stuff. I was like, let me just do these for real. And I just kept doing them every Saturday. Right, hey, you had a comedy special, Scaredy Cat. Can you walk us through the creative process and the prep you had behind the special and how everything came about? Okay, so I started doing stand-up in 2008. So really my voice though wasn't just a vehicle
Starting point is 00:08:49 to get you to come see me live. So I've been doing stand-up since then, so I'm just doing, when I started doing stand-up, I'm doing everything I can get my hands on. Every show, every competition, every bringer show, I'm just doing whatever. And so I'm just accumulating all this material. I'm getting up every night, dog.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I'm like doing multiple stages a night. And so by the time I started scared of the cat and I met these cats that I still work with, Brennan and Tony at Transit Pictures. And they was like, yo, let us shoot your special. And I was like, all right, you know, and so they put it together because they do dynamite work. And so we went to New Mexico State.
Starting point is 00:09:32 That's where that's where I went to college. And we shot the special there, you know, low budget gorilla style, independent. Just shot that. And then so that's like years worth of material that we just culminated right there. Tony, who are your, who is your inspiration? When you grow up, when you like, you're like, okay, take a little bit of this, take a little bit of that.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Who are your, who are some of your inspirations in the comedic space? Well, when I was growing up, I'm 47, so, you know, Delirious was the first comedy special that just blew my head off. Hey, what you know about that? Man, come on, man. Man, anybody that knows that was around at that time, that special just blew everybody's head off.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And so, that's when I first took in a comedy special for RIP. And then, as time went on, you know, I saw Raw. But then I started watching like comedy and I was like, Damon Wins, Stimbad, and Jerry Steinfeld are my three influences with a sprinkler of Bernie Mac. So those are like, those are my influences right there.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And so I feel like I'm a combination of those three that I mentioned. And cause I should, I'm a combination of those three that I mentioned. And cause I feel my mom don't know like a lot of Cussin so we can watch them together. Right. You know? That's what I was about to ask you cause I don't hear a lot of Cussin in your comedy.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah. I try to keep it PG-13 for the most part. Like I don't want to, I don't want to get too tween cause I don't want to get stuck in that box. But you know, so I try to keep it PG-13 so my mom won't cringe up. So but yeah, then that Damon Wans the way he was just like storytelling through the character act out. Yes. And then the way Seinfeld just details every like little basic human experience that we have talking about socks for like 15 minutes,
Starting point is 00:11:28 talking about toothpaste, talking about cereal, I could do that type of stuff too. So those are my three influences right there. I don't think people understand how difficult stand-up comedy is. I think they think people are funny, just stand on stage in front of a crowd, and it just works.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Not understanding that the material has to hit, you have to engage with the crowd, you have to have stage presence. There's so many factors and variables that go in for a comedian to be able to stand up in front of people, have said material, remember said material, and the delivery to be on point. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:00 So my question is, how different is your approach when it comes to doing stand-up versus the content you put on social media? Or do you just approach both the same way? Well, the way I write it is, like, I think of a premise, like I'll be like, I'll be at the grocery store tonight. And I'll be like, man, look at this lady right here. And then next time I get on stage, I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:12:24 males and Whole Foods are at this lady right here and then next time I get on stage I'll be like males and whole fools of things lady right here. And so I Write it in real time like that. I keep the premise to mine I must say this and then then I start I keep doing it the more I go up and then I edit And do do it like that. And so Cuz like the way my mind works. I'll forget it if I don't like write it down or do it right away. Yep, and so that's my approach to like stand up. My voiceovers and like the content,
Starting point is 00:12:54 it'd be in the moment man, like when people used to send me, before I kinda stopped doing voiceovers, cause Instagram keep pulling them off my page and I wanna get my page deleted, but people would send me videos all day long. They still do. And still they be like, hey man, hey, so man this. And so I'll look at the video maybe once, twice, and then I'll just think of the whole scenario. Like the, I got a voiceover where it's these two cats. There's one outside the window and one inside.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, yeah, hey Curtis, let me holler at you right quick. Yeah, yeah. Cause the one outside looks like he been about that life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He want Curtis to come out his pies and give him these kibbity pies. Yeah, real. And so when I'm looking at that, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:44 oh, I got the conversation right here It's to be like Curtis man watching step outside Hey, and then and then he disappeared for a little bit Helmin man, I'll spare you then you come back. Why are you a You told Scott you figure me out Scotty you freaking me out Yeah, man, it's so and I like productive value too So like if I do a voiceover of a giraffe running from a lion, I'll be outside running when I record it So you get like it's like it's really like that's what's really happening Yeah, like you can hear me running outside
Starting point is 00:14:26 Oh, man, he really right here though. Some people appreciate those little nuance. Right? Tony give me a my rush more comedians Okay I'm gonna give you Top four. Okay. I'm gonna give you two the ones I just named. I'm gonna give you stem bad. Okay I'm gonna give this is my personal I just named I'm gonna give you seven bad. Okay And this is my personal I can give you a comedy Mount Rushmore I can give you my personal. Hey, I want yours. Who are your Mount Rushmore comedians? Tony Baker, Mount Rushmore
Starting point is 00:14:55 Got you. Damon Wayne. I feel like I feel like his HBO specials are underrated We know we know Damon is the legend. Yeah. But I feel like his comedy specials don't get talked about enough, man. This is crazy. So I'm gonna give you Damon Wayans. I'm gonna give you Thinbad as well. I feel like Thinbad don't get talked about enough to be that funny and that clean and that consistent is crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And his crowd work is bananas. Yeah. So I got them two on there um I'm gonna give you Uh Dang man Because I want to I want to throw eddie on there, but he only got two specials, but they was monumental
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah Eddie murph lady murph. Oh murphy. Okay. Okay. Okay Yeah, Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy. Oh, Murphy. Okay, okay, okay. He only got two of those. I'm going to be like, I'm going to slide him off. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm going to put him on the legendary Mount Rushmore, but since he only got two, I'm going to slide him off. And then I want to put George Carlin on there because- Yeah, I love Carlin. That's my boy. George Carlin, man. George Carlin, man. I can listen to him all day.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And the way he breaks something down Hey, I got I have all his specials all of them That dude was crazy man. You got it. You he there. They're very few comedians That you go and see we had to think he makes you think he forces you to think Yeah And then not only that not only thinking you gonna walk away having lunch He makes you think, he forces you to think. Yep. And then not only that, not only thinking,
Starting point is 00:16:27 you gonna walk away having learned stuff. Yes, yes. No. He's very socially conscious. Married. Yes. He's very socially conscious. He's gonna talk about things in real life that you're dealing with.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And you think like, damn, he put that in perspective. You know who I think one of the greatest storytellers, especially of this generation? Chappelle. Who that? Chappelle. Oh yeah, that's cool. Man, that's your girl.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And he can take the way he can diffuse our audience and talk about things that you shouldn't be talking about. And before you know it, his SNL, when he did SNL a couple years ago a bake Yeah, might have been the greatest monologue in Saturday Night Live history If you haven't seen it go back and look at his monologue. Yeah Yeah You know what's dope about it's the pill the way the way his comedy
Starting point is 00:17:22 Transform if you go back and look at the killing them softly or early muscles It was more rapid fires or jokes, but he developed into like this Monumental storyteller where you just like listening just like yeah, and it's still Breaking it all the way down to where the joke sneak up. Oh, yeah It's like I don't know. I don't know if it's best made it more comfortable and in his approach to where he could just be like, y'all gonna rock with me anyways, so let me just sit down. It's taking my time.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yeah, you don't understand, but his transition is just crazy. Patrice O'Neal is another thing that I feel like. Yeah, yeah. Classic. If he didn't pass the way, oh man, no telling where he would have went. What about Pryor?
Starting point is 00:18:06 What do you think about Pryor? You know what I feel about Pryor? I would put him on the Mount Rushmore of the best comedians that ever exist because when you look at deaf comedy, damn, it was 27, 35 Richard Pryors on that thing. Like, he birthed so many comedians that if you were young and didn't catch Richard Pryor and his Pryor,
Starting point is 00:18:30 you would go back and look at the Richard Pryor's and be like, yo, this reminds me of like Def Jam. That's because they were born from him. Yeah, Asante Samuel saw the clips of us debating him in prime and he responded to us, Ocho. That's your problem, pimp. You're also brainwashed at Shanna Sharp. I'm not worried about what everyone proceeds to be true.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Like yourself, I stand on facts. You have yet to talk about the facts. You can easily be manipulated, just like everyone has, because of marketing. I bet you won't debate me, big facts. Shanna Sharp, safety has the short middle. Nobody's in the deep but me and the receiver. You don't know the truth pimp. You just talking out your With no facts let's talk or you scared like everyone else bro
Starting point is 00:19:16 Hey, I didn't know you answered you like okay. I like that. I like that Oh, hey y'all hey, listen, we can have a club. Shae Shae, right? Listen to me Now stay with me. You have a club Shae Shae DB edition A good conversation PowerPoint presentation style Film up there to support each of your your opinions and facts that you might have. It ain't no opinion. He's not time. What are we debating?
Starting point is 00:19:44 Let me finish baby, let me finish. Listen, I'm giving you the ultimate content right now. Something that's never been done before. A format that's never been done before. Two players, actually three, because you're a part of a two, three players. You got Prime and Sonny Samuels and you. You're one that loves a breakdown film.
Starting point is 00:20:02 He's also one that loves a breakdown film. Now, just picture this. You think Cat Williams did a whole bunch of numbers, what you think you would send down, you know, going over, okay, you want to prove it? Prove it, the eye in the sky don't lie. I'm just throwing the idea out there, because the format has never been done before.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I've given Coach Pine and myself have given Atanté Samuel more tension since he's been retired than he's ever gotten. After tonight, I'm done with this. There's nothing to debate. My bad. There is no one going to say he's in the realm of time. He's in the realm of Daryl Reavis. He's in the realm of Rod Woodson or a Charles Woodson or a Darryl Green or a Mel Blunt. He's not.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I don't give a damn what he says about the film. He played Morgan. He played Morgan. Look, bro, you have an unbelievable career. Congratulations. You're just not time You're not time you're not Rebus you're alone father. Did he make it all decade team Because time made all decade and he's one of the hundred greatest players of all time. Let's see his resume. Let's see his body work
Starting point is 00:21:26 I Complimented I said time don't believe in wasting motion. The T-step worked well for Asante. I gave him a compliment. Let's see his resume. So he didn't make all decade. Four time pro bowler. One time all pro. How many times, how many pro bowls a time?
Starting point is 00:21:57 How many all team? Yes. Same number of suit bowls. But one guy was a defensive player of the year. One guy as a defensive back swung the balance of power. How many D.B.'s can say swung the balance of power? He go to one team to keep the other team from going. He go to the other team and keep that team from going.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Bruh, you had an unbelievable career. team from going. He goes to the other team and keep that team from going. Bro, you had an unbelievable career. You went to a pro ball, you an all pro. You're not time. And there's no, and that's not as not. It's okay. It's okay. But I don't know why you getting mad at me. I tell you what, find, go find the GM, go find the coach, go find the player that says Asante Samuel is the equivalent or better than time. That's all you got to do. Tell your son won't say you better than time. And he a junior. Let's be real man. You coming, I'm the wrong one. What you doing? Where you going?
Starting point is 00:23:16 I got that. I don't know what you talking about, bro. I don't know what you're talking about. I complimented you. I said you had an outstanding career. I say the T-step served you well. I just said you weren't tired. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:23:33 If somebody says, you know what Shannon, you had an unbelievable career. Shannon, you were the eight Pro Bowl, you were first team All-Pro, you were an all decade player, you were in the Hall of Fame. But you ain't Grom. Okay. You ain't Travis Kelsey okay but you ain't gonna go no other tight end than me talking about you ain't that if you want to say Grompp if you want to say Kelsey Shannon you not bad I ain't finna fight you but you ain't gonna go no more you ain't gonna
Starting point is 00:24:02 go no more because when I, every record that a tight end could have, I had it. Catches, yards, touchdowns, most yards of the game. Hey, so hold on. I just, now that you mentioned that, when I'm gonna come, when we factor in the numbers and statistics, does that play any factor in Assante's case? Or it doesn't matter, just curious? He had more past breakups and fewer interceptions. How many pick-fixers did he have? All I know is when I left the game,
Starting point is 00:24:36 I had every record that a tight end could possibly have. Ain't nobody had him but me. Now, that one came along and broke him, Gonzo broke him, and Gaze did this, and Gronk, and this and that. But I don't know why he mad at me. I gave him a compliment. I said he had an outstanding career. I said the T-step for him served him well.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I like the convo. I like the dialogue. I would love, especially for not the casual fan, but for people that are fans of the game. I wish we could dive a little bit more. I'm obviously not here on the show. I'm just asking you, find a general manager, find a head coach, find a receiver, because he talking like he was that.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I guarantee you, when you find somebody that say he a top 10, a top 10 cornerback. If we go back and study history, top 10 corner. So we got Time, we got Revis, we got Mel Blunt, we got Rod Wilson, we got Daryl Green, we got Neils Williams, we got Mel Blunt. Okay, that's seven right there. Where are we going to put him in the list of all time and the history of the NFL as he crack in the top 10? My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
Starting point is 00:26:04 in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.

I don't turn my back to the critics, but there is a sort of California derangement syndrome out there that is just sort of ridiculous. This notion that this is the only state that has challenges, it's just comedic, but it's damaging. We record-breaking tourism last year. We have a surplus again.
Starting point is 00:29:22 We have a state with population growing again. You wouldn't know that. That's not prevalent. It's not part of the discussion. It's been engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed in the fires. It's a failed state. You know, California, but for me, you know, it's a pride for me. Again, as a guy who lives here, who cares about the state, is to make a case anew for it. And I'm a little clintoned about it. There's nothing wrong with it. It can't be fixed by what's right with it. Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:29:53 That's your, I mean, that's your homeboy. He's in Florida. I want you to tell me. You tell me. What tell me. What, where would you put him? No, I ain't asking you.

I ain't played against Sherm, but I did my thing everywhere I went, you hear me? It was like Halloween. If I'm not gonna do it, I'm coming to get some candy. I'm asking you a simple question of the guys that were mentioned, who is he in front of?
Starting point is 00:34:22 Who is he in front of? I wouldn't say in front of because you mentioned, you know, the greats But he has the numbers to be in the room I know I know that much and you base everything off numbers when you talk about let me finish before you say anything when you talk About MJ in comparison to Michael Jordan, when it comes to debates in any other sport, we always bring up the numbers, but all of a sudden, the numbers are ignored when it comes to now talking about the two people there in comparison.
Starting point is 00:34:55 He got four ProBos. All those guys, hold on, this dude got four ProBos. Listen to me, I'm not finished. Okay.

I'm just waiting on this man to tell me, who is he better than than the list I renamed? Now we're gonna have, guess what? Let's have the conversation. Hopefully, Lord spare both of our lives,

Asante, go ahead, bro. Asante, you had a great career, bro. You're a good player. You just, all I said, you weren't tired. And you had to get personal.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I don't know why. I mean, if you wanted to come on Nightcap to get your name out there, you could have did that. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, listen. That is a great combo, bro. You hear me? It's a great combo. What's a great combo? This one? I like this. I just obviously, it's not me as the individual, but I'm just saying that's why I... And his prime, is he better than Stefan Gilmore? I'm at some point tight chat. Don't y'all want you to chime in instead of just talking about this is a great combo You tell oh this is I care fucking oh Joe
Starting point is 00:38:23 I'm in charming in all I'm in charming in all I'm listening to you. Now listen, he addressed Shannon Sharp. He sent a long message to Shannon Sharp. So I'm just listening. Hold on. Where did he address Shannon Sharp? What was Shannon Sharp speaking on? On what? On him? On Nightcap. Nightcap. Unc and Ocho.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Right. So it's your job to answer back? I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I getcap. Unc and Ocho. Right. So it's your job to answer back? I get it. Y'all see, Ocho don't want to chime in. He for slaughter. Ocho might bump into it. Y'all know me. I don't give a damn. I mean, and what is bumping into him? Whatever. See, here's the problem. Here's the thing with Shannon Sharp. Whatever Shannon Sharp say on Nightcap, Shannon Sharp, if he bumped into said player,
Starting point is 00:39:07 Shannon Sharp is mad enough to stand on that. Bro, you not Ty. You not Charles Woodson, you not Rod Woodson, you not Darrell Reivers, you not Mel Blunt, you not Mike Haynes, you not Darrell Green, you not... Fats. Now, of the 10 guys that I named, find a coach, find a receiver that say Asante Samuel is better than any of those guys.
Starting point is 00:39:34 See, the way you make it sound, Oh, so you being mean. Ocho. Ocho. You being, hey, you, you sitting, you hear how you make it sound? You make it sound like, like buddy was trash or something. I didn't say he was trash. Ocho.
Starting point is 00:39:58 The way you, I'm just saying the way you talking, like you were acting like we just sitting here talking about some, just some old bum. We, I'm just, I'm just curious. Ocho. you talking like you're acting like we just sitting here talking about some just some old bum we I'm just I'm just curious. Ocho Who could I say? Yeah, I mean listen I played the game listen I played Wait stay with me stay with me stay with me real quick I played the game on the other side of the ball. So I know
Starting point is 00:40:26 I played against prime. I played against zon. I have an understanding of both and how good they were, what they all on great as prime was and how good Zont was. So it's hard for me to sit here and say, you know, the way you do it when I saw with my own eyes. I understand how great prime is, but then I know what that young boy was doing as well when he was playing. All I said, I said, he was good. I said he was a very good player, had an unbelievable career. He used the technique, he used the technique that time doesn't approve of. Two things can be true. Yes, sir. Okay, some guys like to play press and open the gate.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Some guys like to press and put hands. Whatever technique works for you. But he was talking as if he was the equivalent because he posted his stats and time stats saying Look at our stats, right? So he's posting those stats as if he's the equivalent And I said he's not I didn't say he wasn't a good player. I said he went to Pro Bowls I think he was an all-pro. I know he won Super Bowls in New England That's what I said. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:48 He took offense that I didn't co-sign him. I don't need no marketing. I don't need to co-sign. I think everybody's known. I didn't have an opportunity to critique time when he played, when he went back for those two years, cause he was mainly a safety and he didn't start the game Okay, that's fine But I've never had a problem critiquing any player I
Starting point is 00:42:13 critique Tom Brady Peyton Manny You name a player Ray Lewis receiver Oh to Randy I've never had a problem critiquing because I'm basing it on my not intimate knowledge of the game and film study. When I was at CBS, I would watch film. How many times when I was at CBS or Fox, when you ever heard a guy called tell about Shannon Sharp don't know what the hell he talking about.
Starting point is 00:42:40 No, that ain't anywhere. I see what y'all trying to do. Well, you doing this. That's not what I said. No, no, I never said, I never see the difference is, Skip tried to say, I said I was better than Tom Brady. I said Tom Brady wasn't playing well. Why would I, as a tight end, compare myself to a quarterback?
Starting point is 00:43:00 Okay, right, right, right. I would need to compare myself to Gromp, to Kelsey, or a tight end. That's the only way you can get an equivalent. I said, I said. Yeah. Asante had a great career. Globos, Superbos.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Now, guy like I said, you want to say, Shannon, you ain't travel, you ain't grump. You right. You gotta live with that. You right, you got me. Right. You got me. But I'm just confused.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Hey. I, but look, bro, I gave, how many, I gave you 15 minutes of fame. Fame that you never would have got had you not mentioned me or time. Enjoy it. Now, go back to your solitary life. Nobody's going to... When was the last... I'll tell you what, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:44:02 When was the last time, prior to last night, when was the last time pride to last night? When was the last time you heard somebody Mitchell's on T Samuel? Take your time. I'm gonna get me up. I'm gonna be some water. Take your time. Hey chat y'all keep on to interested Hey, anyway chat We back. Oh The love set to love set, get love set. Other than that, it's a great conversation. I like it. I like the dialogue.
Starting point is 00:44:32 I like the back and forth. I like players also, what we always talk about, having a belief, not only belief in what you can do and what you've already done, and bringing it to the forefront. Bringing it to the forefront and supporting what it is you've done in already done and bring it to the forefront. Bring it to the forefront and support what it is you've done in comparison to someone else
Starting point is 00:44:48 who is also great. And that's okay. Now, a lot of people won't see it that way. As you can see, it includes none. One thing I've always seen is if you were bad at what you do, then I will always come out and say that. But I played against both.
Starting point is 00:45:06 And I understand how good both were. I understand how great Prime was. Obviously catching him on the tail end of his career and obviously playing against Asante during this prime and understanding how good he was, how much of a student of the game he was. And what I'm not going to do is diminish what I was able to see for years while I was playing and understanding, watching film here and understanding how good he was and how savvy he was technically. And what I'm not going to do is diminish what I was able to see for years while I was playing and understanding, watching film,
Starting point is 00:45:26 and understanding how good he was and how savvy he was technically. So it's different coming from someone that actually played on the opposite side and understand how good he was. So it's hard to see it, to say, oh, he's not, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I had to go against this. I had to go against that for years.
Starting point is 00:45:46 So it's different. It's different. You know, especially, and a lot of people in the chat, obviously some of the comments on Twitter, on X, whatever it may be, their feelings are always different as well, because it's based off who you know and what they've done. Hey, that was good.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I'll just ask you a simple question. Which one? Prior to last night and today, when was the last time you heard somebody mention a Sante San? Oh, I'm supposed to know. I don't know, I'd be on nightcap. Every time a tight end break a record,
Starting point is 00:46:19 who record they sitting there? The most 150 yard game, the most long this, the most that. Every Sunday in the NFL season when the tight end does something, who name is up there? When they have them named, he just pass this one. Who name is also up there? Ocho? Ocho?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Don't worry about Ocho and chat all I try to do I try to you know, try to go back and forth But Ocho, you know Ocho's like hey Alright we did we did go back and forth That was that was a good one though No, you you laughing. I'm saying I'm for real that was a good one. I don't That was a good one man I don't... That was a good one. Maddie, Maddie, Maddie Fresh! What's up bro? What's up? What's that a chat? What's up, what's up baby? What's good, bitch?
Starting point is 00:47:14 You good? Yeah man, listen, I just left New Orleans, man, about three days ago. I'm feeling good. That's my second home now. For sure. I saw you, I mean, I saw you climbing some wards and all of that, bro. Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Every bit of. Fred, what? Fred, when you look back at your career
Starting point is 00:47:33 and you look back, not that your career's done, when you look back at all the people that you've touched and you've made beats for, what are you most proud of? Relationships, bro. Like, you know, relationships. Better than, you know, the beats or whatever. To bring people together and keep them together.
Starting point is 00:47:52 You know, even like right now what's going on with my crew. Like for us to get back together as men and go back out there 25, 26 years and, you know, and still getting. So I always tried to be the mediator for everybody You know even when I was doing a beat with somebody who was beefing with somebody I was like listen, bro That's that's foolishness, you know put that down and let's get it With like did you always want to be did you always want to be a producer?
Starting point is 00:48:21 Do what do you always want to be in the music? So how did this come about? How did you get into and then it wasn't like you was just, like any, you had some of the hottest rappers. Oh yeah. The Waynes and the Juvis and the Hot. You had it all, Fresh. Yeah. So I started out as a DJ and even right now,
Starting point is 00:48:38 you know I'm a DJ. My dad was a DJ. So what got me to this was my dad. You know, I used to have to hook my dad's stuff up. I used to have to, my dad was a street DJ. So, you know like them holding the wall balls, right? What a DJ do like, you know a DJ actually puts you in a good mood Like, you know, yes if if your bills do you going through something is the D To make you feel like you're about that forget about all of that
Starting point is 00:49:02 And you know and that that spirit just came on me to be like, you know what, this is what I'm supposed to do. Yeah. And so outside of Pops, man, growing up, who were some other musical influences and how did they shape you or shape the sound? Your sound was different from everybody else. You know, how did the sound develop you as a producer?
Starting point is 00:49:23 Growing up in New Orleans, bro, it was music all over. You know, everywhere you went, there was, you know, there was somebody playing something. So I just kind of put all of that together in a way I call what I do is gumbo. I took elements from West Coast, you know, and down South and just made something that was mine. So, you know, you just take a whole bunch
Starting point is 00:49:42 of ingredients from everywhere. You know, when we was early, New Orleans, you know, in the 80s, we liked West Coast and East Coast songs. We didn't have our sound yet. So, you know, and then Miami bass came, and then we felt like the 808 is our sound. The 808 was definitely down south, you know, and I was like, okay. And I was like, let me take a little bit of this East Coast, a little bit of this West Coast and mix it with some of this Luke. You know what I'm saying? That's a good recipe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Hey, right now, I'm going to think about the current state of New Orleans sports. You know, your Pelicans, your Saints. How do you feel about the current state of sports in New Orleans? And what do you think of it? What is the vibe like? Obviously during the season, I'm not able to be there. I was there for Super Bowl. Unbelievable. That's my second home. You hear me? Yeah. I have like, obviously during the season, I'm not able to be there. I was there for Super Bowl, unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:50:25 That's my second home, you hear me? Yeah. So what do you feel right now? One of the- Especially the Saints. Yeah, so one of the things, you know, let's just say New Orleans is, let's just say it. New Orleans is a party city.
Starting point is 00:50:39 So it's getting hard on the athlete, you know what I mean? Okay, okay, okay. There's a city where, you know, it never shuts down. Like, you know, so when you come there, you gotta come there with the, you know what I mean? There's a city where, you know, it never shuts down. Like, you know, so when you come there, you gotta come there with the, you know, like you gotta be focused because you could easily get caught up into nothing clothes. Nobody ain't gonna tell you put that drink down.
Starting point is 00:50:57 You know what I'm saying? And if you're athletes and you hanging out with rappers, it's just not gonna vibe. It ain't gonna go right. You feel me? So that's one of the things we gotta fix. Like, you know what I'm saying? We ain't gonna say no names, but we got a little bit
Starting point is 00:51:11 of party in going on right now. So if we fix that, you're gonna see an improvement in our teams, bro. Okay. Maddie, when you look at it, you look at BG, Juvie, the Hot Boys, Lil Wayne, Big Timers, how soon did you know that you know what? That youngest one, the smallest one, he gonna be him?
Starting point is 00:51:32 Oh bro, Wayne was the first one there, the last one to leave. So you know, when you, and it was times where his mom might've took him out the group because he had bad grades or whatever, and immediately he improved. You know, because it was something that he was like, I got to figure this out. Like, you know, and he would beg his mom forever to get back into it.
Starting point is 00:51:54 But just like I said, he, and he knew like, take for instance, back that ass up. Um, Wayne knew to hang around for that song to get the last part of it, to do that after you back it up, then stop, then what, what, what. He was just like, nah, this one of them. You know what I'm saying? And you get that from hanging around. To be like, I'm gonna hang around because I feel like this is one of those songs. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:17 So we couldn't get rid of him when we was doing that song. He, he, he. What about the bling bling? How did he come up with the bling bling? It was always a line that was used in a song. You know, like he would, and I was like, that's kind of clever. You know, and I always thought like it was something that stood out about it. It was something about, you know, it was bling that, you know, Wayne was the first person that I heard to say bling. No doubt. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:45 But it was something clever about it. So I just had, I don't know, like something just woke me up and was just like Bling Bling. Every time I come around your city, Bling Bling. You know, when I wrote the hook, I was like, it's something special about this. Finger ring worth about 50? Yeah, I was like, something special about Bling.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Yeah. LAUGHS My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. Something special about Bling. Yeah.

The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard.

This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I speak with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

It's been engulfed by the fires. It's a failed state, California. But for me, it's a pride for me. Again, as a guy who lives here, who cares about the state, is to make a case anew for it.

But like a lot of times they do that spray
Starting point is 01:15:06 to have the edges crispy. So what they do, they use that spray to get them edges crispy. Right. So it's a little darker than the rest of the head of the hair, but that's too much. You got that thing looking like shoe polish. Hey, I don't know if you ever shine shoes on your,
