very very difficult and they've been difficult because we've been in a difficult time in this world uh first off with the pandemic the corona and some people don't even believe that shit is true. But I know it's happening. With that, and then everything that's going on around Black Lives Matter and George Floyd, there hasn't been a lot of reason to be happy about anything lately. You know what I'm saying? I mean, and it's so interesting to me. One of our episodes, we didn't even air because you and I got into an altercation we got into an altercation because we did we did get an

altercation we got we got an altercation because I was passionate he was passionate yeah and we was bumping heads but at the end of the day we realized that uh we was talking about the same thing and the reason why people are yeah you know sometimes people do podcasts they do things because like that people gonna going to love that. It's fighting. But I decided that I wasn't going to air that because I just didn't like it. Right. You know what I'm saying? I didn't like it.

And I did for a lot of reasons. I didn't like us not seeing eye to eye on the same subject. But better than that, I didn't like it because I love you too much. I love you too much. You know what I'm saying? Normally I would be like, I ain't never got to talk to that bitch again. You know what I'm saying? And you know I'm a queen.

You know I'm a queen. Yeah, of course. You know what I'm saying? But it's so easy to say that when you don't care about somebody. Yeah. It's so easy to say it's whatever when you don't care about somebody. But it's a whole different story when you care about somebody. Because then you got to, you know how hard it was for me to be like, oh.

You know what I'm'm saying I'm like our history I've been knowing you too long I know your heart is whatever and I could have and I didn't because we at the beginning of our podcast I used to argue a lot of people yes and I didn't want that energy anymore because I know the direction of the podcast and know how I felt and like the last week I haven't been really feeling that good and it's kind of tough for me because I always feel good right and I just couldn't shake the funk I could not shake the funk I'm always on Instagram live and I just could not shake the funk and then uh for some reason whenever

I'm nervous about something or feeling a little weird, I run into a person. I run into a person that makes me feel good. Makes me feel amazing. Like when I see their face, it just feels like every sense of worry I had,

anything that I was upset about, is dead. Yeah. I would say for the last 10 episodes Like every sense of worry I had, anything that I was upset about, is dead. I would say for the last 10 episodes of this podcast, I've had a young man. Well, he ain't young, but he looks young for his age, if that even makes sense. And everybody knows this person that follows the podcast. Everybody is always like, man, we got to do something. Where is he?

We want to see him. Get him on the show. And just by chance. Hold on, let me do this. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Donnie R. Rollins show. This is the Interfunky. You might not have heard this music before, but when I do this music, that means we're about to start a show. This is the corny part of the show, but this is the part that people love.

And when people start talking too much, I cut it off and they talk too much again. I turn it back in. I turn it back on. But I'd like to say, out of all the people that I've wanted to be on this podcast, the man, the myth, my man, Dave Chappelle calls him my Kobe angel get writers in the mother get right, man. Hey, get, hey, get, hey, get, hey, man. Get right ready to do some time in this bitch. Yeah, right, you got your own camera right there, bro. You got your own camera.

But you can look at me, you can look at me, get right ready to tell. Let me tell you, we met about, what was it, about three or four months ago, right? Yes. I was doing my travels, I ran into you, and you said to me, I was in my travels I ran into you and you said to me I was in my car and you was like man that motherfucker look good it's all shiny and everything that's when motherfuckers they get you like that

they say nice things and they be like let me hold something that wasn't the case I had a conversation with you and we had a great conversation we have great conversations all the time. Every time I see you come around, you know, like when you came on, the word you should have used was energy.

Energy. When a person can, you be around a person, you can forget that funk. Your whole energy level just goes somewhere else. You forget about what you, the blues, you know. And that's what, and when I met you it was interesting because um i was like like it almost ended but you left such an impression on me i called you i called you back and you talked to me again and we was able i i didn't even wasn't going to do no video we had a regular conversation then Then I called you back. I was like, man, it was just something. Your voice, your energy, your spirit, everything made me feel good. And I was going to walk away from that situation like, I never see.

I was like, fuck it. I won't see him again. But something told me that I had to talk to you. And that's when you gave me the interview, the first interview. And I'll pull it up the first time we met and since then maybe ten episodes since then you become a big part of the show a huge part of the show well then people whether you know it or not and I want to give you a props right now I dropped a bomb on it motherfucker's love. Get right.

Now, the question I want to know, why did he call you get right? Well, the thing about me is like trying to get right, you know, first, you know, like my mind, body, and spirit. You know, first, like get my mind right. You know, things I used to do, you know, I don't do them anymore. Right. You know, like so. Like what? Like getting high. Like just off, you know, that's crack cocaine, you know, drugs, period.

You know, took me places I didn't want to go and kept me longer than I didn't want to stay, longer than I intended to stay, you know, kind of get caught up in the funk. And, like, but that wasn't what drove me to drugs, though, you know, to be lying on and, you know, transgressed against, like, by, you know, like, your next-door neighbor. And, like, you know, you lose your job, your everything. And, like, you ain't smoking drugs. I had 10 years clean and sober, but, you know, that rebound, you know you lose your job your everything and like you ain't smoking drugs i had 10 years clean and sober but you know that rebound you know that fall that took me to drug because i lost my wife my apartment my job i lost everything my car and like the man i'm

getting off work the man said i put a knife on it what i look like coming home from work with a knife like you know i'm a custodian i don't work with a knife. Like, you know, I'm a custodian. I don't work with a knife. I got a coffee cup and car keys in my hand. And so, like, the man, the police asked me, did I have a knife? What a knife. What you mean, what knife? He said, the man said, you put a knife on it. He said, you got a knife upstairs?

I live inside, you know, got a kitchen. My wife, I was married, you know. Like, we got two things full of knives. We got a gang of knives upstairs. If you're living inside, you got a kitchen. Naturally, you got a knife. I got a question for you. You say that's not a part of your life.

No. What was it? Because people go to drugs for different reasons. Some people go out of depression. Some people do drugs because they're happy to party. But in your case, what was it that drove some people do drugs because they're happy to party but in your case what was it that drove you to do drugs well like everybody around me was doing it so you know i felt like you know i wanted to be part of the in crowd but you know like that's wasn't where i was

you know i'm kind of like bright you know and i try to look at things on an intelligent level but like to be in the streets around the life, I guess, the life, being outside. I'm outside now, but I don't do drugs, but it's like that survival thing. In the military, I joined the Army in 17, so I live in the wilderness.

So your parents had to sign you, because I went in when I was 17. Your parents had to basically give you a permission slip to put your life up for America. Right. Yes, indeed. And they cried. They didn't want to see me go.

But, you know, my oldest brother, like I was trying to be like him, he joined the Navy. And I tried to take the test for the Navy to catch, you know, my... As a Baptist. Yeah, I idolized my oldest brother. You know, I wanted to keep up with him. You know, we played cards together in college. And, you know, and I wanted to keep up with him. but they stopped giving the test, so I took the test for the Army and there I went. I passed the test and took the papers to my mom and dad and they cried

and they didn't want to see me go, but they signed them anyway. But they knew you was a troublemaker, too. They said, well, you better go get out of here and go do something, right? Well, now, like, you know, I had dreams and aspirations. I dropped out of college. You know, I had dreams, you dreams. I wanted to do something. What were you going to college for? I went to college. I was studying business administration.

Like today, I want to have my own business. I went to college, took courses in business, like philosophy, English, and a whole lot of things. I had dreams and aspirations. I was, you know, like, wanted to get out the ghetto, you know. Like, you know, they took me right around the corner just across the track. You know, that ball of confusion. Like, you know, alcohol and all that.

I wanted to go, you know, have something, you know. The benefit, they wasn't fighting. They stopped fighting in Vietnam, so I joined for the benefits, too. You know, you get the GI loan. That's what everybody every I didn't told y'all this people think that black people go in the military to be patriotic no they go in the military I'll say it again

they go in the military cause they don't want to go to jail and they look at them posters and they show you basketball courts and they show you all of that shit be like yeah but they don't say nothing about you gotta put your life up for this country this country that sometimes don't even give a fuck about you. That part right there. And like I said,

like today, you know, they come up with a way to keep me outside, you know, right now. But, you know, thank God that I turn to him too on a daily basis, you know. And like, you know, I got the will to go on, you know, survive, you know. When I see you and people,

And we know it's Black Lives Matter. But you said something about the rainbow. Yes, like see, like, you know, the rainbow coalition should have been at that rally from the get-go. They should have, because every color is in the rainbow. And I thank God that they was like

really putting emphasis on the black and the rainbow, you know, like rainbow, like, you know, it's a lot of colors. I ain't never seen no goddamn black or no rainbow. It was like, you know, like, if you looking you know, it's a lot of colors. I ain't never seen no goddamn black or no rainbow. But like, you know, like if you looking at it, you black, right? Right. Okay, that's your black hair right there. Okay.

And then like I be saying like, well, I'm a black man. Like I'm looking at that rainbow. That's God's rainbow. Watch your hope. When I see my rainbow, like I hope my pot of gold at the end of it. Right. I have a question for you. Where were you born?

You may have said this, but where were you born? St. Louis, Missouri. Show me state. There's like a lot of this stuff going on out here. Like I was saying. You know about Emo's Pizza? Emo's Pizza. Now I know about the little small hamburgers. Oh, White Castle. Right, White Castle. I know about them. We don't mess with no

white. Black Lives Matter. We don't eat no goddamn. You know what? We want to change the name. No more White Castle. We want it would seem like that i'm glad you said that because when mr mr obama was president like if they had a name the white house the black house while he was representing the black house you should have did it hey they should have came but he should have had a separate house i was like but i'm gonna tell you one thing i noticed about this get right boy i'm telling y'all white people we got y'all by the balls now. Whoa. When I tell you

white people apologize for every goddamn thing. Yo, okay, white people, listen. There's more non-profits than the NAACP, alright? Yo, the white people are so nervous. They apologize for so much shit. I was at a grocery store the other day. I accidentally

cut the dude off going to like the 10-iron unless, and he was like, I'm sorry. Motherfucker was ready to pull out a checkbook and donate. How you got to, you don't got to donate to the NAACP because I cut you off in a line. But there is a difference. Like what's going on right now? Well, now like the younger generation

is talking to their parents because their parents came up during the time. Like, maybe, like, when I was coming up, if you rattled out there, the police was out there in full force. And, like, they had water hoses and dogs. Like, Martin Luther King. Thank you, Dr. King. We had a dream. We still dream.

Yeah. I had a dream. We're going to smoke a joint after this. And, like, some people, like, they don't have a dream no more. They are turning into nightmares. And that's what's happening to these Caucasian people they're not dreaming no more we don't want dreaming like they have a nightmare because they feel like it's a new world order they know when you and the tires like flip what she like we it's above and you know what it's interesting because

your name is Get Right right and we had oh I remember one time I told Julius he was like what's up with Get Right I said man I don't fuck with Get Right no more right listen I'm going to share this with you

and this is how deep I am I'm born in St. Louis, Missouri, but I was raised up in Mississippi. And that's doing like a, I got to get out of here, because that's depression type stuff, like picking cotton. And I did all that, picking cotton and chopping. You picked cotton? Yeah, who? Like, shit, that's a kid.

Like, I don't know nothing about no playing. We ain't fucking wiping. We not fucking with cotton nails no more. Got to picking cotton the fuck is wrong with y'all i had to i had to slip outside to go learn and get this knowledge and wisdom that i have so that's why i know about you know being outside right but anyway like well i got i had got to get out of there but i was looking at i like animal i like being outside nature and see him come outside nature. It's so interesting that you say that because when people always think, I was like, get right. Like certain people is built to be able to survive and make do.

Like when I see you, man, you always look good, hair always tight, always look nice. You know what I'm saying? It's like how do you maintain how do you do that well basics you know like you don't forget the basic fundamentals of life you know like you know coming from home like you know with your mom and dad say do this and that you know yeah you better learn how to do something you get some some whoopings up in there. And then, like I said, it's everything. Let me just say, white people, whoopings, whoopings, like, they're real. They're not timeouts.

They're not timeouts. It's like, I used to get that shit. When you get the piece of that tree branch, and when you see your mother take this shit and just put all the leaves, like, you're like, oh, nigga. And then, like like you talk about some you talk about some french braid like that's where french braids come from like they braid them up braid switches up right and put three together and like man come on man like you gotta die

your damn near yardstick you finna get a beating with a yardstick and that was the kind of weapons you got if you don't get it right right you go in there you had to wait this is why this is why i was beefing with you and i remember we're not really beef but i kept on saying i was like i was like i said we want to get you right we want to get right right and then we had the issue we had the issue with the lights with the with the id and some other things right and as much as you are an inspiration and you make me feel good i'm like like, God damn it. All right, this is what we got to do first. And then one time you kind of shut me up.

You're like, oh, come on, man. All right, all right, all right, all right. And I'm like, we got to get right. When I say to get right, I said, you got to get right too. Right. And like, you see, like a person like how you come to me and we talk and we interact and, you know, conversing. Like, you know, you give me positive energy and like when you tell me something and register it automatically hit the computer you know go straight i didn't know if it was gonna hit the computer because

this is another thing people this is another people don't understand this would understand sergeant is that we've known each other for a short period of time but it feel like forever and even what that says like i, I'm learning your character, and you're learning my character. You know what I'm saying? It's probably things about you I don't know. And I was like, okay, everybody telling me what I got to do. I said, slow down.

I said, slow down. I'm still getting to know Get Right. I'm like, is he trustworthy? My energy always felt like trustworthy, honest person. And one time we were talking, and you said, and was gave me a bucket list of things you want to do one of them was like you wanted to meet Dave Chappelle right and like you know that and that reason why I said that I see how inspirational he is to you you know I just wouldn't like to meet the man you know because like like Whitney Houston you know like she did a movie called Bodyguard you know know. And I know what that word bodyguard means out here in society,

out here in the wilderness. You know I was mad as shit when you said you wanted to meet there. I said, I thought I was your nigga. I was like, what? It was like, you know, if he got your back, you know, like, okay, come on. So she had Kevin Costner. But this is the funny thing about that. You yelled at me that day, too.

You'll remember when you said, because I was so excited when you said you'd like to meet Dave Chappelle. I'm like, do you know how easy that is for me to make that happen? And then I had the camera off because there's times we talk with the camera off a lot more than the ones we get. And then I said to myself, I was like, he wanted me to date Chappelle. I'm like, come on, that's so simple, right? And I said, and I said, and I don't know if anybody caught it on the intro. I said, all right, I had the camera roll.

I said, all right, I need you to say, you said, man, don't tell me what to say. Just roll the camera. And you kept it, and you said what you said. Yeah, and I mean, it just come naturally, you know, like, you know, it come with wisdom, you know, like when you meet great minds, think alike, you know. And like when you meet somebody or character like as deep as Mr. Chappelle is, you know,

and like I know I can function with the best, you know, like no matter who you are, what title you wear, you know. I mean, I can sit down and, you know, like we can do some things. And I can probably much out think. But I don't like, you know, because you might have more, you know, like avenues of getting things done. Right. You know, so, but like. Oh, I got those avenues. And that's why.

And here's another thing. I can do so much shit. And that's what I was saying. And then you was telling me, you know, some of the things that you wanted to do. What are the other things on the bucket list? saying and then you was telling me um you know some of the things that you wanted to do what are the other things on the bucket list things like the bucket list and marvin freeman back to him he did a movie like something see these blake these great you know black actors and actresses like you know i look at them and those are the type of movies that i watch you know something

i can get something out of and like they are real live movies you know and that bucket list you know you put some valuable things in that bucket list you know so what's another thing on your bucket list well okay get right make sure you

speak into the the thing on his bucket list he say get right if you say I want to see you put up a poster I'll lose my shit well okay

the bucket list it started with first you got to have you know identification we got that okay okay then next you got to have, you know, identification. We got that. Okay. Then next, we got to have, you know, finances.

Okay. Then you come up with a plan. Okay, the bucket list. Next thing I need now is a truck. No, first thing you said is a phone. I got a phone. I had that, you know. Okay, I want to say this real quick.

Because you talk about, you said, man, I need a phone. I said, what you need? You told me what you need to get a phone, right? And I gave it to you, right? And then, and this was, because this is when I had the incident with my car. And I hadn't seen you for a minute, right? I said to myself, I said, this is what I kept on saying. I said, this motherfucker better have that motherfucking phone.

Right? I was like this. He better have that goddamn phone, right? So when you said you saw me, and I didn't have the car just popped up man when i saw you with that phone i had the phone and id yeah that was the shot you know what that's how you shut people the fuck up you know i'm saying you say you're going to do something and you actually do it and then as i said as far as getting to know your character like again that could have been a situation where you never saw me again oh i caught one but it was important for me because especially with you being get right i said okay it's so easy for somebody to say oh we should just

give somebody a lot of money but i said i said i said i knew i said i know get right more more want more than anything it's a job And I'm like, how we... Okay, in that bucket list, the next thing is I have a driver's license, but I got to get it with DMV because my driver's license is good until 2022.

So now I need means of transportation because I want my own business. Well, first you start with you know like recycling maybe I don't know you know but like if you got to have you know transportation for whatever you want to do but I intend to go back to school also because like I'm deeper than like you know so wait a minute at 64 years old you still inspired to go back to school yes I mean like you're never too old to learn mean, like, you're never too old to learn.

You know, you're never too old to learn. And, like, I remember before I got lied on and went to prison. Like, I was going to Tray Tech. You got lied on? Who lied on you? I told you I went to jail for pulling a knife up on my neighbor, which I didn't do. I got my car keyed.

You told me vandalism. How did a knife get in the store? Oh, but now this is what I went to prison for. Okay. I went to prison because like, you know, that I lost my job and all that,

but like I was going to trade tech, you know, studying law school. I wanted to be a paralegal, you know, like I know a little about the law.

That's what she wants. That's what she said. Javanta said that. Yeah, I said that. While I was in school, you know, like my teachers like used to tell me,

Mr. Blackman, keep your hand down. Let these youngsters like answer some of the questions, you know. Oh, you said that. While I was in school, you know, like, my teacher used to tell me, Mr. Blackman, keep your hand down. Let these youngsters, like, answer some of the questions, you know. Oh, you was that dude who used to raise your hand and answer all the questions? Yeah, that was me, you know. Oh, I hated you. Wait a minute. Was you the dude that always couldn't wait to read out loud? Well, that was me because, like, you know, like, growing up,

I've always had dreams of being something. You know, I'm not afraid to talk. I'm not shame-faced. None of that. And I'm very bright. When it comes to a battle, I think I'm just as good as you. And that's how I feel. I'm not too old to learn.

And those are some of the things I wanted to do. It's like study law. I want to go old to learn, and those are some of the things I wanted to do. It's like study law. I want to go back to school. That's a passion, like to be able to work with your brain instead of your hands all the time. So that's why, you know, transportation, I can go back and forth to school, you know, whatever I want to do. But I want to work and do something for myself.

So all at the same time, I'm getting my brain right if I go to school. I'm to work do something for myself so all at the same time I'm getting my brain right if I go to school I'm getting this I'm right I'm getting about here I'm getting something right I got a question father day is coming up right and we talked about you as a father what was the relationship that you had with your father well my father I'm not his name was John, too. You know, I'm named after him. But not John Doe. No. It's John D. It's John D., but it was John Dixon Blackman.

I'm John Edward Blackman, but I'm named after him. And, like, I took to my father, you know. He joined the Army. He was in the Army. Like, you know, and he drank. I drank, and he taught me how to do a lot of things work work ethics and you know he don't want to have me in the field like a little boy like chopping but like i'm learning how to work he told wait a minute yo your father's trying to

hey like well look at that's all they had like you know that's all they had how to be like how to be like dad what the fuck man that's just on the weekend though you know like oh yeah because you can't be a cotton had. That's all they had. I would have been like, Dad, what the fuck, man? That's just on the weekend. Oh yeah, because you can't be a cotton picket, weekday, that's for weekends. Yeah, you got to be at school. Don't bring no

F's up in there. You can't do that at my house. My mom and dad you can't flunk. As a matter of fact, like I said, I was ready to get out of there. That's why I graduated early, a year early. Did you have siblings? I had two brothers and two sisters.

There were five of them. And I'm the second one. I got an older brother and two sisters and one younger brother. He's resting in heaven. What, and I asked you about your family, what does a family mean to you? Do you have kids? You explained it to me, but. Well, actually, you know, I don't have any biological children, but my wife, she has three beautiful daughters,

and it was a pleasure helping her, you know, rear those kids to become who they are today. And I'm very proud of the job that we did collectively. I can't take full credit for it because they was willing to learn, pay attention. And we functioned as a family unit. That's how we did things. We had great parties and great dinners. We'd go out and family dinner. The other day you told me, you were saying with your daughter, you said y like we had great parties and great dinners. And we'd go out and, you know, family.

The other day you told me, you said you was hanging with your daughter. You said y'all had a ball. Yes, every time I said, you know, hang out with her, man. Like it's like we light each other up. And I know we are the two most important people out there in the world at the moment. You know, we untouchable. And it's our world. And we give each other that type of energy.

Don't worry about this, that nowhere is no nothing. If you could say something to your father right now, what would it be? I would tell him thank you for everything that he did, the weapons I got for what I got him for, because I'm trying

to get right with those things I got beat for. You ain't going to say thank you for teaching you how to pick cotton on the weekends. You're talking about work ethics. If you're going to pick cotton, like, you know, uh-uh, you got to make it to the end of that road, boy. Come on, let's go. That's why I was able to beat my older brother doing things, you know, because I had the willingness

to go. And I'm still going to excel in whatever, school or whatever, you know, like, I can multitask. Multitask, I don't care what I'm still going to excel in whatever, school or whatever, you know. Like, I can multitask, you know. Multitask, I don't care what I'm doing. Like, two or three things at one time, and I'm going to complete the task. I know, I don't know if anybody ever said that, but you're a person that's very insightful, ear to the street, and you're funny.

Have you ever in your life thought about being in entertainment or telling jokes well all the time like you know like I can see something if I see something like you know give me a stick of this and you know like a little wine oh nice if you get right if you say I got I got to get right you know to get in that mode you know I can see something and uh like i can pick it up like i'll be talking with cedric the entertainer like you know even though he ain't there but like being here that's one of your favorites yeah do you like you that's like the third time you always talk about cedric yeah like i you have where he wears hats and he's sitting in

the front row you know like clapping his hand he always ran back laughing right yeah that give me like make me feel good to see that. And, like, he funny. You know, when I say funny, you know, he jovial. Yeah, not funny like y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that. You know, jovial. See, funny, like, you know, jovial.

I'm going to use that word jovial. Right. It's all in the words. Make sure you keep the mic to close. Yeah, it's all in the words jovial. And so, like, that's what he give me. When I see, like like he ran back and laughed and then he wears that right yeah he's good too he's from saint that's why that's gonna he from

st louis too and there's no did you know that no i didn't yeah cedric is from st louis and i know i've known cedric for years and i've seen him from when he first started with bt and nobody really know who was going to really blow up off of BET and all that stuff. But he was one of those dudes. And this is a tough thing. Cedric's career probably is like 30 years doing it, right? And it's so hard. In this business, you could be hot for a second.

You can get a couple years. But the consistency that Cedric has had, and not only that, but to start on the black circuit and not that you need to cross over but to be able to get to the point where you uh just you you're mainstream like so many black comedians start uh it's only it's only one lane you know it's just a def jam situation but it's not network television it's not nbc it's not abc but cedric has always been able to keep a job, man, and pretty much for the most part keep his life clean too. Yeah, it's like when you can connect with, you know, the circuits, you know, certain circuits, you know, like whatever circuit, and you can like tell a joke and like it be real.

It's real what he said because everybody knows we're going through, like what we're going through, this coronavirus thing, you know, so you can see this. Shit is real. It's real what he said because everybody knows we're going through this coronavirus thing. You can see this. Shit is real. You can take it and twist it and you can laugh about this. We're walking around like monsters and shit. Like, come on, get on TV.

You twist it. I thought you were going to rob me or something. You can take this and twist it and make a joke out of it because everybody wearing masks. And look at it, it can get you killed too. A person might think that. You walk up with a mask on.

But now, you know what's so funny? I don't think I could ever be a robber. If I was to be a robber, I would have to have a voice box or something you know because like you know as soon as I say give me your money son Donnell come on put the mask down people recognize my voice before anything my voice and my eyes but I wonder I know that's got to be interesting too I wonder, like, what is the one wearing masks all the time done for crime? You know what I'm saying? Like, are people just running around like, oh, you'll never know who I am?

That's got to be tough. I know it gave motivation for the looters because it's like they can't find me. The looters' motivation. They just loot. Man, I hate them goddamn looter motherfuckers, man. Them looter dudes is looter crisp with that shit. I'm like, stop it, man. Y'all killing. But I'm like, stop it, man.

Y'all killing. But I'm glad, like, because I got upset about that, too, seeing people loot and it's taken away from what's really going on. And people are like, yeah, but it's the anger. So I'm like, man, just don't steal. Yeah, but we've been so upset. But once the shit stopped with the looting, that's my biggest thing about that. Once the looting shit stopped stopped the media could not focus on anything but what was going on and the positive and my whole thing was like i was upset about i know you're angry i know you have rage whatever but it's taken away from what's the real deal i

think cnn was so mad they like oh they stopped looting yeah they don't have nothing to report now and it feels like once that stopped the it just got bigger and bigger and bigger. And what I notice about all the protests is that, you know, it says Black Lives Matter, but I haven't said it before, the thing that's the difference is, like, everybody is concerned. Everybody's concerned, and everybody is involved. Whether you have real feelings about it or you honest about it the number and how people showing showing up it's making an impact and it's making a difference they already starting to change different ways everybody uh i hear like dismantle the police department you

can't get rid of the police department defund the police department defund but they're fun but they're not talking about getting rid of them that's not what it means you know no i know that yeah okay but what is that for people that because that's a good point because a lot of people don't know what it means because some people confuse it like this oh we're just gonna get rid there's no way you can get rid of police department but what does that mean well i think initially it means you know have a look at the budget and the police force gets you know i don't know they get yeah they dollars. Yeah, they get $3 billion in L.A., and then when you look at the charts of what a school gets, $200,000, $300,000 for a school.

So defunding the police department is looking at the budget, thinking realistically, demilitarizing the police, and then possibly what I think, you know, the most radical thinkers, getting rid of them all together and starting over. Getting rid of the police department all together? No, getting rid of the ones that we have now, the institutionalized police department as we know it. When my car got stolen,

I don't need a cop with a gun and a stick, and I don't need that guy looking for my fucking car. Right. When my cat's, you know, whatever happens, think about it. I know, but you still need a police department because we we can't have a lawless community because then that's when the cartels and all this other shit is going to grow and that's going to be the but that's not what it means it means dismantle what we have now we don't need the unions that protect these cops when they have their knees on people's necks we don't need

the escalation of violence when there's we don't need riot police it's you know we don't need all these people in jail for non-violent crimes it's just reality okay i got one for you yeah okay like defund the police i strictly i i firmly agree with that i mean like they spend all this money revenue on these body care they come out like like two weeks ago i'm a. I'm approached by the police. They serve a warrant. What a warrant. You're going to pick me up, take me to jail for a warrant. What a warrant.

You're a warrant. You've got body cam. Turn it on. Show me the warrant. I want to see all of this. But where's all this right going at? So where do they get the work? Why isn't it that you have

to have your body cam on all the time how do I get the final just because there would be too much footage I guess I think as far as I know that's it is slow motion the body cam supposed to go on whenever they have an interaction I got right right right they never do. They never have a mind. Oops. Oops. It's a motherfucking miraculous thing. Right. And you come and serve me with a warrant. Now, you a warrant officer. I know what a warrant officer is in the military. You know, they wear different fatigues in the field, like from, you know, regular fatigues.

So a warrant officer, you going out here to serve a warrant. You going to arrest a person on a warrant. Right. You got to serve a warrant. You can't just come out here and tell me it's in the computer. I want to see this warrant. And they take me to the ground. You saw my eye? Right.

You saw my eye? What's the point of taking someone to jail for a warrant? You're not going to get the money. It's the opposite. You're going to waste money. So what about places like London and Japan where they have no guns? How does that work? they have guns but they just they just they're just

their system their system is different they just don't have the the police force in america has just been militarized and they've been trained and if you really do the research you can find out that a lot of these guys have been trained by renegade military people. Right, exactly. Teaching you how to violently hurt somebody. Oh, hurt somebody. And it's been like, that's mostly white. That's straight, mostly white. Of course it's mostly white.

We had a guy on a podcast. This is a story that we didn't get. And I'll leave his name on it. He was a cop. He was a cop, a black cop, right? He was a very outspoken black cop. Right. Wherever he went, he was like, blackspoken black cop right right at wherever he went he was like black lives

did matter to him and uh where he was working they got a new lieutenant or whoever's going to run the station i might be up with rank and everything but the story is when his new white lieutenant came to this police station the black cop was mad was cursing and that he wanted to get at him everything everybody's what the fuck is wrong that's gonna be insubordination but he was the cop he was in the marines before he became a cop and that same white guy that was about to be his boss was his boss in iraq and the white cop i mean the white marine guy used to put all the black people in a line of fire. They was getting sniped at and shit.

In the line of fire. He did that to all the black. Right. So when he saw this, like, what the fuck? Everybody couldn't understand why he was so upset. But that shit is military, too. And then you go from the Marines and you have those same interests and those same ideas

and now you fucking run in the police department and you fucking that shit up. I think defund the police just goes back to institutionalized racism that we feel within America. But it's so funny,

people got to know how to read, too, because I saw this, it was on Worldstar. Hold on, hold on real quick. It was this thing on Worldstar, right, where these Asian people had to sign, right? It was defund the police star right where these these asian people had to sign right it was to fund the police and then these these black people was like what you talking

about and they looked inside and said oh oh we thought it said defend the police hey okay yeah you know youngstown ohio right what that's in ohio first white chicks give right You need to know this. Get right. I just want to say this. First white chick I ever took down was in Youngstown. Always goes like, I hope. The entire police department, federal.

Put it closer to each other. The entire police department, federal judges, prosecutors, all of them got took down just like this corruption. Like they say, defunding the police. Exactly. They got too many too much lavish toys like that's where all our money going like i don't hear the board of supervisors none of these people like you know like doing this epidemic pandera we're going through none of their voices but they're getting all this money so these people collecting all this money

what your voice is that all they like what's going on? This Pandera in Youngstown, Ohio, the entire police department failed because of corruption. The history is repeating itself, but right here in California. I'll tell you one thing about them in Ohio, them white chicks out there. What's the difference?

What? I ain't going to talk about that. No, I ain't going to say it. No, I'm not going to say the difference. I'm not going to say the difference, but I will say this. It's not too often I see somebody come get ready to get busy with a gallon of water. With a gallon of water. And I'm telling you, anytime you see a chick with them hair ties right here, yo, I'm going to tell you the difference is this move right here.

Yo, that move right there is a game changer, son. Yeah, they ready to get out. I'm telling you this, like this. Look, if you ever, listen, if you ever see a woman and they got five ties, they about that neck life. They are, and they ready to rock. And I'm telling you, it's a quick move like this. It's like, y'all know what I'm talking about. You know what y'all do.

It's all in one motion. It's like this. And it's off, son. It's top, top. I just noticed your hair. Well, you know I'm back to being fine. They thought it was a joke. I'm back to being Idris Elba.

Look at the whole, do you see my energy? Do you see my energy? Look, I'm laughing. I'm smiling like a light-skinned motherfucker. I'm smiling like one of them pretty light-skinned motherfuckers. Look, watch this. Here you go. Ah.

Ah. Ah. Yo, you get a fresh one, you be like this. But the funny thing about it was, even though I was growing my hair, I wasn't growing, I was just, it was whatever. But I was going through so much last week, I felt like Britney Spears. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I just was like, I'm telling you, man, because my mindset was like, when it was growing, I wasn't embarrassed. I took my hat off all the time. My shit was going crazy. They was calling me Little George Jefferson, Ashy Jefferson. They was tearing me up. But at the same time, as I was letting it grow, I felt like I was getting closer to who I really was. You know what I'm saying?

It's like, we could always be be like i don't want to look old but you're going to get old yeah can you deal with it and as i was growing my hair it made me feel like i could deal with it the toughest thing was like the toughest thing for me was like how my son was looking at me right and i was like he was he was looking at me and he was like and for him what he liked about my hair because i do a lot of zooms i go on a zoom with angela yee uh heather be a lot of people and i always had a hat on during the zone and my son he already thinks he's a comedian get right you know right in the middle right when he get quiet every, he would just pop out of nowhere, right? Just like, ha-ha!

Daddy don't got, he don't got no hair, y'all! Yo, he was, it was, and I was like, he's so much like me. And I knew he would get quiet, right? I'm like, oh, I know his little ass about to pop off. He don't got no hair. So when I cut it, and when I cut it, because he wasn't so when i cut it and when i cut it because he wasn't um he wasn't home when i cut it right and he was like this and it kind of broke my heart because he looked at me he was like he said daddy what happened to your hair and i'm so used to that i'm like what hair right

like he don't know he he said, it's not there anymore. But he... But you had like the clown. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the clown. Oh, God, I can't write you one. I did. I did.

Listen, I had my... It was like... You didn't even know because I always had my hat on. I think I... No, I came up on you one time. I was waiting for you to talk to you. You always was like bow-headed.

Yeah, but it was growing. I had a hat on. But when he saw it wasn't you one time I was waiting yeah but I was growing I had a hat on but when he saw it wasn't growing he was like daddy what happened and he was so upset and I was like this I was like do I care what people think right I was like okay but then when he said but daddy I liked it and I was like that was that was his joke that was his joke about you you know about the hair like when he see it you know yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but he would he just was like he was like he would rub it and it was like it was cool but I knew it was gonna be a matter of time but but I just felt like I just needed a change you you know? A shedding of the old. Yeah, and it feels good.

I mean, you know, I'm back to my fucking ass. How long did you wear it like that? That was from when the pandemic first started. Two months? Maybe even longer, yeah. And then I was going to do it because I was like, I'm going to do it, then I'm going to play an older character. I was going to do something real theatrical with it.

Sort of like the Isaac Hayes look. Yeah. The Isaac Hayes, you wouldn't even like. Certain people, you don't even. Like, there's one thing about me, my hair being like this. Nobody never even. Like, you was like, I never see you with hair. I was on my Samuel L. Jackson shit.

I was like, yo, Samuel L. Jackson been an old motherfucker. That's what I want to be. I want to be an old motherfucker on TV forever. That's it. But, you know, I felt a little bit. And then, like, Louis Gossett Jr. That's who you look at. I know you get that.

I know you get that. Get right. How many chicks you smashed and you told them you was Louis Gossett Jr.? I wasn't never the one that put it out there, but I had been approached if I was like him. Did you take advantage of it? Was it women? No. Men also.

I've even been mistaken for Jerry Rice. I don't know, man. Somebody wearing glasses. Where you get Jerry Rice from? Where you get Jerry Rice from? I was in Mississippi, man. I went to Thanksgiving. I was in Mississippi doing Thanksgiving.

So I went to Thanksgiving dinner. I was the only black person in there. Everybody else was Caucasian. And they was talking about having dinner. You took some white chicks down before get-right? Yes. Yo, you said that. Nothing like you didn't

call it a nothing. I mean, like the truth, you asked me a question, you know, like, I don't have to think about the truth. That's true. Like, yeah,

you ask a question, you're automatic because the truth come automatically, you know. It ain't something that, you know, like I was smoking crack or whatever,

though, but you asked me a question, I said yes. But I was doing the crack scene, like, you know, a long time ago right they said I got that part of my life I corrected I didn't talk to God about it you know somebody even accidentally somebody says um it's a naysayer in my life and it was like he probably on he probably on crack or whatever no no that's what I said this

one's total I said no he not and said, how do you not say it? Because crackheads don't smoke weed. Yo, crackheads don't want no part of weed. They ain't going to sell that shit, man. At least, like, you know, like, I have had, you know, like, things. Crack is a funny smell, boy. That shut the party down. So I don't worry about getting things no more.

Like, you know, like, I'm outside. Like, I'm going to go find me a spot, secluded, somewhere like out here. Like, the garage is right. I'm going to get me a couple gallons of water. I got a bucket of buckets. I'm going to, like, put some water on me, you know. But I'm still to myself. Like, the virus, I'm going to get you more than six feet.

I'm going to get you all the distance in the world. You told me that one time. We said something about the mask when we was out the spot and you said the virus ain't out here. The virus is inside there with them overinflated prices. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like, during the virus, like, you go buy something,

like, you go buy, you pay three times more for an item and I say, shit. Now, you know how much goddamn lights all I bought? And then the CDC comes out and said, well, it doesn't look like it's easily spread through surfaces. I'm like, what the fuck? I'm doing all this Lysol. Every week it come over some different shit.

They was like, well, we said it was Corona, but it wasn't really Rona, Rona, Rona, Rona. I think you got to get it. You got to straight up bang somebody raw and just tongue them down to get Corona down. Because it was like this. It was like this. Yo, what happened, man? Black Lives Matter march, man. Ain't shit smite, man.

Because if you protest, you can't get raw. And then all these cars and buses running around here, like putting all this carbon monoxide in the air. That's the real road up. Yeah, if you're inside your car, you ain't got the mask on. But soon you step outside of your car, you put the mask on. You know, as long as you're inside, you're okay. I know that we got to take precautions.

But I'm going to tell you, this is what pisses me off. When I see motherfuckers on a hiking trail, a hiking trail with nothing, nothing around them. I know I can't breathe and run at the same time. Yo, I know the mask. I know you have to use it as it represents something. But when I see a motherfucker hiking, when I see news reporters with the most zoom lens. Daryl, you know this.

You know what a fucking zoom lens is. You know, you could be, you got to zoom with that camera zoom lens. Daryl, you know this. You know what a fucking zoom lens is. You know, you could be, you got a zoom with that camera right there. You could be 12 feet away and look like you right there. They'd be like this. I'm Angela Johnson down here and I want to make sure that I,

come on. But this is one thing that I think, like, and I said this before, is that people are trained, people are more cautious, and people are really taking precautions not to get the virus. Yeah, in California, I think.

I mean, where we are, for sure. I'm not sure about everywhere in the world. But, you know, everyone at the protest is wearing a mask. Man, I went to that protest. I went to one of them protests, and I saw the motherfuckers saying, no justice, no peace, no mask. I said, I'm going to be right back here and I saw the motherfuckers saying no justice, no peace, no mask I said I'm going to be right back here

no justice, no peace no justice, no peace by the way we haven't seen a spike but it doesn't mean don't do that, don't do that but it doesn't mean that it hasn't spiked we have seen a spike in places like Arizona and not a spike

all the motherfuckers that was on that march it's supposed to have been an eighth wave by now son We have seen a spike in places like Arizona and not a spike. All the motherfuckers that was on that march, it's supposed to have been an eighth wave by now, son. It could come. We're not there yet. It could come. It's unfortunate. It could happen. It could happen, but I said this.

There's something to be said about being outside in 95, 100 degree weather. I agree with that. There's something to be said about that. There's something to be said about that there's something to be said about that that's why people being aware and even though they are grouped up i see people giving people space at least i feel like there's space i feel uncomfortable but it's another reason for people to be racist too you know i'm saying it's like yo six feet people like i'm gonna give you a whole block i mean i've seen some people ain't got nothing to do corona you know it's because i'm black that you cross that street. Fuck, I seen a fucking white chick walking a fucking Labrador retriever with a mask on. White dogs is getting Corona now?
