Okay, so tell me the difference between each mask okay
first of first off we're going to rewind where we are right now okay and what we're doing right now
we're producing this show right and you're my ace boon coon for you guys who know what an ace
boon coon this is a term that's used in the hood is describe someone that you really care about
and an ace boon coon is someone you care about but you haven't fucked and that's why you're my
ace boon coon and i respect that relationship because she's the one that got away no i'm just
joking i'm just joking it's a joke okay okay what was the question again um what's the what did you
say what was the validity and math okay no i'm gonna take it back i want to take it back to you
okay okay last episode you was mass free i was no no no you was mask free. I was. No, no, no.
You was mask free and there was a part of me when we
talked about because I had to
sneeze, right? And you,
you said,
no, nigga.
Oh, no. I don't even got a mask.
You look for cotton.
You look for tissue. She was ready to stick a
Q-tip in her nose, right? I should have had a mask.
You should have.
No, no, no, no.
You should have had a mask.
We all should have had a mask.
And we take them.
Okay.
First off, we do take COVID-19 serious.
Yes.
We take Corona serious.
We take Corona serious.
We take everything serious.
And we take precautions.
You know what i'm saying but i know that i am like a lot of people
that are feeling like what the fuck do i do in terms of my normal life which is never going to
be normal again right we understand that you understand it you understand life is never going
to be normal right as we knew it and as much as like the mandate, stay in. Stay in the house.
Stay in the house.
And I subscribe to that.
I subscribe to that if you really don't have shit to do outside.
But the question comes in, what job is essential?
I'm going to give you my list.
Okay.
The weed man.
For sure.
And I don't just think that's the case.
California thinks it's the case because the dispensaries are still open.
Yes.
The Weed Man is an essential job.
Poster Service is an essential job.
Ralph's, the grocery store.
Ralph's.
A lot of people don't know where Ralph is.
Ralph is a very popular grocery store. It's like Kroger's.
It's the same company. Kroger's.
On the East Coast, you know, Safeway.
It's like
a
mid-grade
grocery store. It's like Publix.
The reason why I say it's mid-grade is because in
California, they got this one
motherfucking grocery store
called Gelson's.
Yo, Gelson's? I can't afford Gelson's. Yo's yo Gilson's I know you can't afford Gilson's I know no I'm the reason
why the reason why I know I know you can't afford Gilson's because when we both first moved to
California we were roommates for like a week she fell in love and then got all swept her off her
feet she was like this daddy I'm leaving right she wanted to like, she was so excited about cooking some food, right?
She was like this, I'm going to make my spaghetti. You want my spaghetti?
First off, whenever a woman says, do you want my spaghetti?
You know it's going to be big ass green peppers and onions and shit that don't even supposed to be in spaghetti.
I think she put some tofu in that shit, right?
And she was so proud. Everybody listen, this is our friendship.
She was so proud. And this is what is our friendship. She was so proud.
And this is what I always say about cooking for somebody.
People always say, I'm not a good cook.
I'm not a good cook.
But this is how I feel about cooking.
If you make an attempt, I'm going to eat it.
If you make an attempt, I'm satisfied just off the attempt.
A nigga might not ask for seconds, but he'll still do it, right?
And you was still a struggling actress or whatever,
and I really respect, when I say that,
don't get me wrong, you know what I'm saying?
I was dancing.
You was, or actress, whatever.
You was, I'm not, don't get all sensitive on me. When I say that, when I say struggling,
I don't mean like, but everything counted.
Yeah.
That's what I mean by that.
You know what I'm saying?
And especially count when you're going into Gelson's.
Because Gelson's will fucking stick your ass up.
You feel like you just got raped with no Vaseline at Gelson's.
They got you going up there.
Every time I go in there to buy one thing, I get 10 things.
I got $100 worth of fucking, worth of groceries.
I think the grocery store
is essential.
Oh, you didn't finish the spaghetti story.
Oh, the spaghetti story.
Okay, sorry.
The spaghetti story was
she made this spaghetti, right?
But it blew her bankrolls.
She came back from Kelsey's like,
nigga, I'm about to go to 7-Eleven
and get some burritos.
I didn't know it was so expensive.
I didn't know it was so expensive when I went up in there.
I couldn't get all my ingredients.
No, Gelson's is so dope.
I'm telling you, when I go to Gelson's, it's one close to where I live.
I go to Gelson's.
I'm telling you, the price is so high.
Whenever I walk in there, everybody in that store works for me.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it ain't none of that trying to figure shit out.
I could be in front of the grape jelly.
Right.
I'd be like, excuse me,
can you point me in the direction
of the grape jelly?
And they'll be like,
I'm like, thank you.
I just did it.
Them niggas ain't got no coupons.
That's the thing.
Even with the corona,
wouldn't you think that
we'd get discounts?
Like, everything is full price.
From Gelson's?
No, just period. Gelson's from no just period
gelson's don't want black people in anyway right they want this to be over these coming in
with the mask they like we don't know what's going on this is corona up or he's about to rob us but
it goes back to my question of like what do like what do you consider essential jobs? I consider what I do an essential job for the audience and also for me.
Because I talked about it on the last podcast,
I don't really know where my next stream of income is going to come from.
Nobody does.
Nobody does.
So I'm like this.
What is the closest thing to me right now?
What is the closest thing to me right now that I think would be my new
intellectual property
and what's the closest thing I can make money off of?
I got the candles.
I ain't really tripping off of making money because
this was the candles
we was going to do before
the corona even hit. I thought it was
cool. It was a
funny merchandise.
It's funny because I'm selling candles but at the
same time this shit is fire we've i got it um angela yee got one she said some nice things
about it um l'oreal from um the morning hustle she got one she said a nice thing about it dave
chapelle publicist she got one she even did a goddamn because, because Dave Chappelle's publicist, she works with Dave and Erykah Badu.
So I was like, how dope would it be if I could get a black ash candle
to Erykah Badu?
Right.
And then one, Carla, who works closely with her
and are good friends with her, she was like, I'll give her a candle.
And I was like, well, if you give Erykah Badu a candle, i was like well if you give erica badu a candle can i at
least get to smell her pussy before y'all get before i get i'm not the only one that smelled
erica badu pussy and i probably won't be the last person oh did she have the incense exactly
that's what i meant it was the it was the pussy incense i'd like to smell it right and you let
me tell you something i smell let me tell, the combination of black ash is dope.
But you mix black ash with Erykah Badu's pussy nickel.
Those are smells.
That's what I call a fragrance.
Can you give me, let me advertise Erykah Badu's pussy right now.
Go.
Hit me with that thing.
That's a bomb.
The pussy was a bomb.
I need the goddamn commercial beat, the cheesy beat.
I don't have it.
You do the corny intro.
Oh God, you're fired.
That's right.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen,
we wanna welcome you to what we're calling
a tribute to Erykah Badu's pussy.
We all know Erykah Badu's pussy is fire.
She's got the kids to prove it. And that's no disrespect because I love Miss Badu's pussy. We all know Erykah Badu's pussy is fire. She's got the kids to prove it. And that's
no disrespect because I love Miss Badu. And back in the day, I wanted her to call Tyrone. But when
you mix the fragrance of Erykah Badu's pussy with black ash, you don't know what black ash is? It's
that, people. It's these elbows. now imagine the volcanic combination
of ashy elbows and
Erica Badu's pussy
you know what that gets baby
number seven
okay stop the beat it's over
can you share that story about
you and Erica back in the day I love that one
I don't want to share that story I was talking about her pussy
and it's not disrespectful because
and people don't understand it.
Like, what gave me incentive is these women selling.
Like, Gwyneth Paltrow.
Yeah.
She had a pussy candle.
Right.
$300.
I'm like, if Gwyneth Paltrow could sell pussy candles, I should be able to sell black ass.
Absolutely.
Shout out to Erykah Badu because I did.
And it's, you know, I'm having fun.
And she got it.
You know, she's earthy.
Mm-hmm.
Erykah Badu is really, really earthy.
Like, you're like, you know, it's like everything she do, she blinks fast, slow.
You know, but she's fucking a dope individual.
And the reason why
Erica
What happened?
Okay. Did it come off?
Does that? Wait.
Don't know. What? Whose hat is that?
We're going to get back to your mask too.
I'm taking my mask off. It's my hat.
What are you talking about? That does not fit your head. What do mean it's a fit it fit what are you talking about this don't
fit what's wrong with it's not it's too small for your head that uh what what are you saying
if i hit him like this oh oh bitches like it when you hit him with this this is an old nigga
you know a nigga is over 40 if he tilt his hat like this and they got a toothpick in his mouth
the nigga that wears a fitted still is old.
Or they trying to hide something?
I'm not trying to hide something.
I just think there is some good stuff.
Austin, there you go.
That's Austin's hat.
Austin suggested.
Listen, listen.
Am I representing?
All right, so with that, let me give my story.
Good to see you.
Good to see you. And good to see you. Good to see you.
And good to see you with your Mexican Home Depot mask.
That shit look like it come with spray paint.
This is certified.
Certified from who?
Who certified it?
Poppy?
Maybe.
You should call him and ask.
You need to get a better mask.
We're going to get to that later.
So Erykah Badu is interesting because
I remember I moved to Brooklyn
and there was a hot spot in Brooklyn called the Brooklyn Moon Cafe.
And it was on Fulton
Street and this was maybe
20 some years ago
when that area was just
starting to get gentrified.
Gentrified. Did I say it wrong?
Yeah, you said gentrified.
Gentrified. Yeah, it was just getting gentrified. Let me put these back on. It was just getting gentrified. Did I say it wrong? Yeah, you said gentrified. Gentrified. Yeah, it was just getting gentrified.
Let me put these back on.
It was just getting gentrified, right?
And gentrification means in about two years,
there are going to be a lot of white women jogging through the park with ponytails.
Got it.
That's when you know your neighborhood is gentrified,
is when you see white chicks jogging with ponytails.
And then, and no disrespect, when you see lesbian couples with strollers that means you're gonna get more coffee shop it's just it's just a
it's just a territory it's just turn to it it's that and I think at the time um
because Erica had just she used to be a waitress at Steve Harvey's comedy club
years ago okay when she was I guess aspiring to be as dope as she is so
there was a place called a Brooklyn Moon Cafe and this is when the era when
everybody was finger snapping it was a little coffee shop there all the poets
used to perform in Saul Williams vibe chameleons, Jessica Caremore. It was popping.
Like, everywhere it was like, and these names were so big.
Like, Saul Williams, he was dope as shit.
I don't know who that is.
Saul Williams, Google it, right?
He's a talented actor, talented poet, talented musician.
He has a rock band or whatever.
He just, I don't think he disappeared.
I just think he just kind of went underground with it.
But, like, he had one of went underground with it. But like he had
one of those poetry when you heard his name in a poetry scene, the bitches used to be like this.
Saul Williams is here. The nigga wasn't even here. He'll walk past. He was like this. And it was a
spot most deaf used to go there. Talib used to go there. It was so many dope people used to go
there because it was like a like a like an open mic a spiritual like you're like woke brooklyn nigga has open mic and erica badu used to come there and i used to see
her and this one nobody knew who she was at the time she was just like a a bad afrocentric and
i say that in the best way i could say it. And I was just coming from D.C.
So we were both two artists that appreciated
what each other was doing.
I don't think I had a TV credit.
I don't think she had a record deal or whatever.
But we would cross paths or whatever.
We exchanged numbers.
And I looked on the paper and the name said Badu.
So you know, I'm going to come here.
I was like, who is Badu?
Badak.
Badak.
And I was having a barbecue, barbecue backyard barbecue one time and i was
calling everybody because whenever you have a party you got to call all your right not to
say erica badu was one of my bitches but i was like this i'm calling i'm calling everybody and
i saw this badu number no answer on the phone um i left a message whatever the pocket party was dope
and um i remember i was on a train with her.
I was on a train.
We was Hoyt Skimahoy train from Brooklyn,
downtown Brooklyn, going to Manhattan.
And I was like, oh, you're the Badoo chick.
And she just looked at me like this.
And she was signed with Universal Records.
Was she always as mystique as she is?
She just had something very fuckable about her okay you know i mean not with like flaunting it or not like it's one thing i want
to smash somebody because their body and erica always was covered up she all never nigga we
didn't know she had ass like that until that goddamn what was that video window seat memories we was like niggas was like oh badu
got cakes you just saw her like she was like wrapped up and i'm what i'm saying like but she's
i ain't trying to disrespect anybody but she still had a look in an energy like
i would smash the out of her mind you know I mean? And that's hard to get, like, where you could feel sexiness
through someone's conversation,
through their look and everything.
So we're in the train,
and she still wasn't Erykah Badu to me.
She was Badoo.
And she was so Badoo,
she didn't even know what to stop to get off.
And I said, she said she had to go to Universal Records,
and I was really understood, like,
the New York transit system at that time.
So I told her where she'd get off and stop, and I'm'm thinking I think I was probably on Ricky Lake every once in a while
I think I'm shit I was like you know what it's something about you right I said we gonna work
together one day I watch I'm telling you I've got some shit going on and she looked at me like
in a very uh Nubian way like nigga you don't even know what I'm about to do.
Right?
But it wasn't like, no, nigga, please or anything.
She looked, you know, like maybe.
And next thing you know, I see the D'Angelo video.
The next thing I know, I was like, ooh, shit.
And I think I tried to call her again.
I think at that time, I was like,
the number you have reached. Right?
But it was just, the story is such a great story about her.
Because, I mean, she got notoriety, fame, and a lot of money way before I got any close to any of that.
But anytime I've ever saw her, she's always been so dope.
And not like, people always say on the bullshit, the Hollywood shit. She's always been so dope and not like, people always say on the bullshit,
the Hollywood shit,
she's always been dope.
I've seen her in passing with her and Dave Chappelle are really close.
And then when I see it,
she was like,
what's up motherfucker.
It's just so cool.
Like to know someone get to a certain level,
you know,
and then you kind of almost know it's going to happen.
People are going to change.
But I can say her character and just her whole being has always been dope.
So I want to thank Erykah Badu for giving me the opportunity to smell her pussy.
Shout out to Erykah Badu.
And shout out to Carla for setting it up.
Erykah Badu is just a dope ass person.
So back to you okay with not having a mask but i have one no you have one now but this is the fucked up shit because and this was the
real shit about the whole corona shit it's like who do you trust you know what i'm saying it's
like who do you trust and that's been an issue saying? It's like, who do you trust?
And that's been an issue with a lot of viruses,
a lot of diseases and everything.
But usually, like, certain shit come out.
It's like this, God, nigga, I caught that shit
because I was being straight stupid.
Right, irresponsible.
I caught that shit because I was offered some drugs.
Nigga, oh, that bitch got me.
She caught me.
She got me.
Or on a versatile, or that nigga got me. caught me she got me or on a versatile or that
nigga got me but like the scariest thing about this whole shit is like i don't think it's that
extreme but i don't know but like it's giving you the feelings that you could just walk past
a nigga breath right no well it's transferable through breath well yeah but it's breath at a
distance yes it's at a distance at a distance but it's breath at a distance. Yes. It's at a distance.
At a distance,
but it's still capable
of being transferable.
Yeah, I know it's capable
of being transferable
and that's why,
and I'm going to get to you
and your mask
because usually,
like when I do an audition
or something,
and like,
you know,
I'm saying like,
when I normally have
to do an audition
or whatever,
I'm quite able to be like,
yo, could you put me on tape?
Could you run these lines?
And you know, I'd be like, show, come on, come over.
Yeah, let's do it.
Right?
Yo, you like.
The one time.
But listen, the one time.
And I'm going to tell you straight up,
you heard my motherfucking feelings.
I was like, you was like,
whenever somebody takes a breath and explains something,
when they're like this,
yeah, you might, you want to try a skype you told me
skype you said facetime you said carrier pigeon but you said everything you said zoom right i'm
like oh yeah you're gonna you're gonna zoom me and put me on tape and i was like i was saying
myself oh i was like this bitch i ain't got no rona. You know, that's, I'm telling you straight up.
And I was never inconsiderate, but I was like, oh, nigga, I ain't rona'd up or whatever.
But I understand your concern is like, and that's the thing about this.
You can't trust nobody.
Right.
But even with not being able to trust anybody, there has to be something somewhat normal.
And there's going to be a time
where we're going to come up out of this.
And I said it before, and it's so weird,
it feels like everything that I've been saying...
Is coming to pass.
It's like I hear it on CNN.
The first thing I said was to build the confidence back in people,
you're going to have to have quick testing.
Yes.
It's going to be too crazy for three, four days.
I say it's going to go.
It's got to be quicker testing.
And since I said that, I've seen it go from two days to 45 minutes
to like 15 minutes, and and they working on some instant
that's going to give people somewhat more confidence because they're going to know
if they have it right and and even with that said uh you you're still going to have to take precautions.
Like, to be quite honest, the six-foot, what is it called?
Social?
Social distancing.
Six-foot social distancing.
Niggas should have been doing that anyway.
Right.
I feel like now people are, because most people are nasty.
So, I mean.
We talked about that too.
Yeah.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too.
We talked about that too. We talked about that too. Yeah. And women.
Well, thankfully, just in general, like.
Do my head really fit?
It fit, right?
Oh, you're great.
Why you always got to interrupt me?
Duh.
Interrupt me.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I'm saying, thankfully, at least now people are taking more.
People are more concerned about their health.
Health and hygiene.
And their hygiene.
Yeah, because like we said,
it was some nasty shit. We're never going to go back
because even if the government
says, even if Donald Trump said, okay,
everybody back to work, it's going to be some people like, nah,
I ain't ready. No, I'm waiting for the first batch to go.
Like the iPhone, I'm waiting for the first
batch to go out and then I'm coming out.
And the thing about it, the crazy thing
is that all the rumors
that were going on about Corona when it first started,
niggas were like, yo, black people don't get Corona.
Niggas were like, we good.
They're like, eh.
And now we're the, did you see?
Did you see?
African Americans are dying.
Are dying.
We are dying.
The numbers are extraordinary.
There's a reason why it's that way.
And I've seen it pop up on Sean King's page.
I've seen it pop up on D.L. Hughley's page.
Part of it is that the access to good health insurance or health care is not with, I guess, the black community.
The socioeconomic factors. The socioeconomic factors.
The socioeconomic factor.
Disparities.
And what you hear in a lot of cases of people
that are losing their lives because of coronavirus
and think that people, and we can't take advantage of that,
it's like existing, what is it, existing problems.
No, it's something. Pre-existing. Pre-existing problems and shit they motherfuckers have. existing existing problems.
No, it's something. Pre-existing. Pre-existing problems and shit that motherfuckers have.
diabetes. You got diabetes?
Hypertension.
All this shit, I'm talking about,
y'all can say what y'all want. Obesity.
Obesity and all that type of stuff. I'm not saying that no, you can say what y'all want the black people obesity and all
that type of stuff and I'm not saying that no you can't devalue any lives or anything like that
but if you get the corona man it's like it's almost like a like a speed like a like a a a
a straight shot to it you know and that's why I say with the corona thing now what it's going to
do more than anything it's going to make people more conscious of everything around them.
They say don't drink.
They say don't drink, don't smoke, and don't do drugs.
Nigga, that's half of Brooklyn going to be out, nigga.
Yo, yo, in the Hamptons, they might live.
Niggas is like this.
Oh, the weed, the tobacco, the so-and-so.
But it's going to have it's have to make people
change their
thoughts. Well, I think the most important
thing is for us to come together and just
find ways to be healthy
as a community. Come together six feet away.
Six feet away, but also, how do we
get healthy? How do we change our community?
How do we change the habits that
we have within our community? I think
solving that issue would then lead to a state of fear.
But motherfuckers, you know why it's hard to solve that shit?
Why?
And this is going to sound crazy.
Because some people believe in God too hard.
What?
Let me explain.
Please.
But they don't do it in a fair way.
They believe in
the God that helps them.
They believe in the God when they pray
something good has for them. They believe
in the God when he's like this, I need some money. Oh my
God, look at God. Won't he do it?
But if you're a person that believes
in God and everything he
does, and everything he does is for
a reason, you have to believe
that God put the coronavirus here for a fucking reason there's no way to ignore it and that reason
is okay um oh you motherfuckers don't care about talking to your mother you don't care about your
family yeah that's all you think about is getting that big body bends nigga you just came out the
goddamn stall and you ain't wipe your motherfucking you
ain't wash your hands i mean god is busy as a motherfucker so you don't think at one time god
was like oh these niggas need to slow the fuck down chill you know i'm saying so whenever somebody
and the reason why i say that with the uh the diet and all that stuff and when I brought up God it's like this. It's
not fair
to just expect
God to do all the work.
You know how many niggas it is?
I mean we ain't talking about God just don't fuck with Brooklyn.
He fuck with the world.
You're
lucky if you can get through.
But don't just get
I'm telling you don't just go there for just a good conversation.
Don't go there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you got to, the point I'm making is, as much as you believe in God, help God.
You can't be like, um, I sure hope and pray that I don't get high blood pressure
and high cholesterol.
Yo, let me get five chicken wings.
Let me get the 32 ounce
extra sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet tea.
How you want it fried?
How you want it fried?
How you want it fried?
You can't expect God
to help you
when you eat Heather B food.
Listen, man. No, listen. I'm just telling y'all straight Heather B food. Listen, man.
No, listen.
I'm just telling you.
I prayed up, man.
Listen, man.
And I love Heather B from the Sweat Sway of the Morning show.
You can't expect God to help you if you eat her fried porgy, her fried catfish, fried eel, fried frog legs, unwashed chicken.
You can't believe.
You can't do that.
What's the alternative, Donnell?
The alternative is help God.
That's what I'm saying.
Take the necessary.
I'm not sitting up here as a picture-perfect example of great health.
What I do know, and I know, and I'm smoking.
I got to quit.
And I know we talk about this. But what I do know, and I know, and I'm smoking, I got to quit. And I know we talk about
this, but what I do know, and it's, that don't matter. What I do know is that usually I, I hardly
ever get sick. I hardly ever get a cold. You know what I'm saying? Like, and when it happens,
it's usually like when it's a change in weather, you know what I'm saying? And when I've been
traveling, like that combination, you know, I'll get sick, but, like, maybe once or twice a year.
So, you know, I know my immune system ain't no, like,
a nigga look at me and I'm like, you know?
So, and in the, hopefully I don't catch, you know, COVID-19.
I'm doing everything.
But I don't look like, I don't look at it as the way it's portrayed
in the news is like it's
a death complete death sentence
I don't believe that because as much
as we are losing people to it we losing people
a lot of people to their older
and all the circumstances
but just
last week I got three
phone calls
of
people that I was close to that either thought or contracted COVID-19.
And they're recovering?
And they're recovering.
Oh, that's good.
One nigga, I know he had Corona Light.
This nigga was, I don't even know.
I didn't even know that.
What is Corona Light?
I don't know.
Whatever it was, that motherfucker was back home in 48 hours.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
I don't know if it was like a or i don't know what level
like you like you know i don't i don't know but i guess what i'm saying with that is like
as much as we going through this crisis and anything in life help god help god with everything
and don't just be calling god for everything nigga if you about to run a red light man just
god ain't got time to be fucking with you. Don't let me get this ticket.
I got to fuck with this Corona motherfucker.
I ain't got time for that shit.
And you with your shit.
And again, going back to it.
And people are going to feel this way.
I was a little offended.
I was like, oh, what you trying to say?
But then it was like, and you said something.
You was like, you know I was a little sensitive about it.
You know I was a little sensitive about it. I know. You know I was a little sensitive about it.
And you were like, you know, it's taking precautions for you and for me.
Absolutely.
Because I didn't want, you know, you have Austin.
You have a family.
So I didn't want to. And you got a quarantine, babe.
I don't know if you got a.
I'm just saying.
You was like this.
Oh, I hope this nigga ain't rolling with me. a, I'm just saying, you was like this, oh, I hope this nigga ain't rolling with me.
Yo, I'm just saying, you talking about I got a son, nigga, you got a quarantine pain.
That nigga's like that.
I'm just, I don't know what you doing, girl.
All I know is, one day you called me like this.
Yo, you was looking like that meme that capped me like this. You me like this. Yo, you would look like that meme that cat me like this.
You're like this.
And you was like this.
Whatever.
And it was so funny because people are, I'm telling you, man,
people are like, even now, I'm answering every phone call.
I don't know if a nigga giving me the corona call.
You don't know, man, tell me. Corona call. You don't know, man.
Tell me.
Yo, there's two types of Corona calls.
Oh, yeah, give it a Corona call.
All right, the Corona call.
It's one Corona call.
It's one Corona call.
Like, yo, man, you heard so-and-so got the Rona, right?
That's one Corona call.
And another Corona call is a Corona call that want money.
It's like the hood stimulus package.
You know what I'm saying?
They want money?
What?
Yo, it's niggas talking about, man, I'm out of work.
Like, nigga, you ain't worked for five years.
And you know somebody about to hit you when they hit that,
when a man, when they care too much about your family and shit.
How your son doing?
Oh, man, he getting big, nigga.
He a kid.
He grow.
That's what they do.
Yo, your son, he getting big. Oh, shit, that nigga grow that's what they do yo your son he getting
big awesome that nigga he gonna be a kid be just like your dad boy i'm telling you the tree the
leaf don't fall too far from the tree or whatever that country ass shit they say the apple don't
fall too far from the tree right and they do all of this shit and they be like i don't know when
i'm gonna go right to work i'm like nigga i'm unemployed right now any more jokes i can't get
them i ain't get no more.
I ain't making no more money on no jokes.
You get that Corona call.
And then you get the call where, because people been asking me,
what if it hit home with somebody in your family?
Death any kind of way is fucked up.
Yeah.
But it's how you deal with it.
I have a great uncle that passed.
Passed away of Corona.
And you know what I'm saying?
This is what we
really have to accept in life
is that we're all gonna die.
Yeah.
We are born to die.
As soon as we're born,
we're dying.
But we do the things
to try to preserve it
and get the best life.
And I said this on Plain Podcast,
the best life you can get
doing your dash,
in the middle of it.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I'm saying?
What's in the middle? And I've had some
bad calls, but I
didn't want to, when I
got the calls and everybody going to get it, I didn't want
to be like, oh my God, guess who got the corona?
It's over, nigga.
I didn't want to hear
that. It's so hard
to say goodbye. And I just
put myself at a peaceful place.
And the first thing I said was like, it does not have to be a death sentence.
What's going on?
Don't jump ahead of yourself.
And that's why I encourage anybody, don't jump ahead of yourself.
It's people dying, but it's people surviving.
And those three calls that I got, one of them was like, motherfucker,
it was like corona, but it wasn't corona, it was pneumonia.
But they didn't get both of them at pneumonia because, you know,
pneumonia and the Corona at the same time.
But they only had pneumonia, not Corona.
Oh, okay.
But, you know, the symptoms and what you feel as far as getting a cold,
whatever, right now, as soon as they go, oh, did you run it?
That's what I thought today.
Nigga, when I was talking to you, no, you coughed.
Yo, yo, yo. Son, you coughed and I was like the you, no, you coughed. Yo, yo, yo.
Son, you coughed, and I was like the biohazard joint.
And I can tell you, hold on, Joe.
You did like this.
I was like.
Yo, you did like this.
You said, you said, you said, I said, hello?
I didn't want you to hear it.
I know you didn't want me to hear it.
I was like, you hear a,? I was like this, hello?
I was like, you good?
Yeah, we ain't going to shoot no podcast today.
We all right.
I was going to hit you with like this Zoom, that shit.
But the only thing I say, it ain't word of advice or courage or whatever.
I'm just saying, with everything you hear in the news or whatever,
don't get ahead of yourself.
The news is so depressing.
It's depressing because they got to chase that.
And I know it.
I'm not taking away from what we're going through right now because it is very
serious but this worst thing you can do is get ahead of what's really going on in your life or
that person's life whatever because that's going to give you stress you're going to be worried
then you're going to think anxiety anxiety and then you're gonna think shit is happening you and it's not really happened to it you know just you know just we need to just take our time and
it's already doing I'm not saying it's stopping but social distancing is
working you know yeah yeah it's working can you imagine like can you imagine
think about how, like,
like, New York is crazy right now, right?
Yeah.
And that's with nobody going out.
And it's crazy.
And New York is so overpopulated.
Can you imagine
what it would be like
if New York wasn't on lockdown?
If they wasn't, it would be...
But their numbers are still high, staggering.
No, listen to what I'm saying.
Their numbers are crazy. Their numbers are going to be crazy
because it's so populated. That's why
in Wuhan or whatever it was,
they had like, I don't know, it's like a place
that's like... Once you get high rises and shit,
it's just going up. I understand that.
But again, without the
efforts of social distancing,
without... Times Square.
You see Times Square?
Times Square is like empty.
Now imagine that type of coming together, what the numbers would be.
It's not going to stop it, but it will slow it down.
We'll see.
I just think that we've surpassed every country in the whole entire world.
Yeah, but you look at it now, and if you do it per capita,
you do it like about how many people in the areas.
We ain't fucking Wuhan up like that when Wuhan was first popping off.
We've surpassed Wuhan, though.
Time-wise, though, right?
No, you don't know.
I don't think you know what you're talking about.
I'm asking you.
I don't know the answer to every goddamn thing.
What I'm saying is, like, we surpassed them,
but they got it under control.
Of course we surpassed them now.
Well, from what my understanding was from comparing the two you
told you this shit you're quarantined nigga try to get ass any kind of way nah it ain't really
like that like look i'm telling you they got it over there but over here we good no go ahead we
said you know what i know i know a lot of things i know a lot of things. I know a lot of things.
And what I do know is that...
My mask is stuck.
What I do know...
And you got makeup all on your shit.
What the fuck is going on?
You already knew I was going to have makeup on my mask before.
Okay, the point I was making is that
with all the chaos and everything that's going down and
people are like freaking out or whatever, you got to maintain some type of sanity.
You have to be able to not look at this like this is the end of everything.
It's a very trying time and not in my lifetime or any lifetime I know of anything to go down like this.
But, and we said time and time again and time enough that we're going to get past it.
Yeah.
We have no choice.
I'm glad that you have that goddamn mask.
This is the thing about the mask game is so on fire right now.
You got different type of masks.
It took me a while to get there.
You know, I've been gone.
I've been, ugh.
Okay, first off, when we're talking masks,
and you were talking about I need a certain mask.
Yes.
You told me.
You said, oh, I said, you better get a scarf.
You better make something.
You was like, that one ain't going to work.
I don't want the ones they got from India or whatever.
I want a nine...
What is it?
A M3?
Did you see the video of them making the mask on a dirty ass floor and
they were like sewing all the surgical masks to send over here to the u.s so what that the
professional joints right we were talking about professional ones yeah it was like i'll send you
the video but anytime you get a mess first thing you if you got one a fabric the first thing you
need to do is wash it that's the first thing to whoever give you a mask you got to wash that shit
first but the point i was making and you was like this you you said you needed one with hydroponics you said
you needed yours to have bluetooth you said you need to have a contour brush you said it's got to
be a contour brush on the side just in case you want to serve face up under your mask face this
is what you explained and you was like she's like this oh I need this type of mass I need this one that one ain't gonna work I was like get something the
scarf or something and the only thing I was saying because and that's what
anytime like California said it like everybody gonna have that in 93 m3 or
what is it m95 you know I'm saying but they were saying like something you'd
like they was encouraging people to do scars bandana something
to stop
the possibility of
What is it? What is the vapors? No, no the papers is the fuck
Did you see the people getting kicked off of the buses if in public transportation and they got no mask when I'm kicking you off
The goddamn thing too. Yeah, but the point has been excessive ain't got no mask on, I'm kicking you off the goddamn thing, too.
Yeah, but I mean, it's been excessive,
especially with black people.
I was at Target.
I saw a motherfucker about to go at it because a motherfucker came up inside his six feet.
Oh, okay.
Like, he was like that.
It's real.
Fuck that.
And I know it was real,
but he could have been a little,
it was an older dude.
He could have been a little bit more tactful.
He'd be like, just excuse me.
But he was just like, what the fuck are you?
It's like that.
He was like this.
Fuck, Beck, six feet.
This nigga did that.
It was a white dude.
He was like,
white dudes with six feet,
white people want to feel like police
any kind of way they want.
They're enforcing that shit.
He was like,
citizens arrest.
Six fucking feet.
But the thing I was making was like,
when you was talking about
you need a certain mask I was making was like, when you was talking about you need a certain mask,
and I was like, if you get an M93 or a 3,
and you ain't doing surgery.
And 95.
Or 95, or nursing.
That's a point I was making with California governor.
He's like, listen, man, we gotta have
those high-end M39s.
What's the number again?
N95. I'm gonna write this shit down.
Them N95s.
It's kind of weird if you see,
especially because it's a shortage of it, and those
the first responders and the people that are
really helping us to save lives,
they need them more. So I'm like this.
You better go out and save. You get an like this. You better go out and save.
You get an N95, you better go out and save a life.
I'm saving everybody's life in this room.
Yeah, right, because I don't know that nigga that's over there.
No, I'm just joking.
Wow.
It's just a joke, man.
We can't tell jokes anymore.
It's a joke.
But it's hitting a lot of places.
And like you said, New York, it's an epic, what, epic, epic, epicenter.
Yeah, epicenter.
A couple of episodes ago, one of my buddies,
I used to spend some time in Washington Heights,

Before, they used to sell the platano in the corner.
Now, they're selling the hand sanitizer, the mask, mask, they sell it on the corner like a drug dealer.
They look like a drug dealer now on the corner.
Are they wearing masks?
The people that are selling the masks, do they have masks on?
You know, they have the mask on because they got to show the product.
They want to show that it's working good.
So they put it on their face.
So I say to them, my friend, you're not selling
these costumers nice things here.
I don't believe it. They put it on. They got it on.
They got the gloves on. They mask on.
I don't even recognize the girl that sell me

I ain't going to sell it.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to get like 50, 100 made, and then I'm going to send them to some fans that want
to protect themselves.
Or you can add it to the black ash candle.

How? think so how how do we go back to shows how are we gonna go back to live
performances I mean most people are doing everything digital their digital
concerts being had I heart radio everyone's hosting things from, like, it's not gonna be the same.
What do you suggest?
During this time, I suggest
the Zooms
and the webinars.
I'm about to get tired of that shit. I'm tired of looking at niggas in boxes
and shit. I'm tired of looking at niggas
in boxes. I mean, like, everybody's Zooming me.
I'm probably the first entertainer
or celebrity that got Zoomed on tmz like they so used to running running up on me at airports
and one of the guys jay he's always at the la airport he catches me all the time getting off
a plane this motherfucker caught me in my car he's just face time he's like what's up yo what's up
i'm telling you this i'll try to find the footage he was like yo what's going on man how you doing with corona blah blah telling you this. I'll try to find the footage. He was like, yo, what's going on, man?
How you doing with Corona, blah, blah, blah, this and that?
And I just happened.
I was doing a run of shit.
I was goggled up.
I had my plastic goggles on.
I had my face mask on or whatever.
And he was asking me a question everybody asks.
It's got to be tough right now doing comedy, right?
And I always say that a joke can be too soon,
but it never can be too soon for a funny
observation then he said what do you mean by that i said well this could be joking i said um i said
and like i said earlier you now you pick up the phone for everybody anybody call you like this
hello you rolling this dude called me the other day i was like you alright you got the rona he said nah nigga I got AIDS
no
and I said
thank god nigga I was worried
for a second
that's a joke
and it's an observation
but I'm telling you
rona got AIDS in the back seat
now and AIDS is like this man get the fuck out of here
nigga I'm good.
Rona niggas is looking at Rona like
like motherfuckers looking at
Rona like it's AIDS on steroids.
Motherfuckers looking at Rona like it's like
like Rona like it's the hawk of
all the viruses. Don't make me
angry. Like the hawk of it.
You wouldn't like me when
I'm angry. And the point I'm making
is like and I know you say here's the part of that joke that makes it the joke.
There was one time when you heard that, you was like this, oh, them niggas about to die.
They out of here.
But look at, and it took like some years, over probably 25 years.
I think what, age for it hit like in the 80s, I think it was.
We're talking about almost 30 years, right?
And I'm not saying it's like better to get one opposed to the other,
but you don't hear, you like really hear about people living with HIV now.
You have people having prosperous lives with HIV now.
You know what I'm saying?
And I don't know if it's going to take 20 years or 25 years for people to have I won't say confidence but knowing that just because you diagnosis with something
doesn't make it an ultimate death sentence right you know and that's what the um I forget the
doctor's name uh he's the uh Dr. Fossey Dr. Fossey he's a lead uh corona nigga you know I'm saying
he was just talking about again he was talking about how it is in the black community.
You know what I mean?
And then he also said something that you didn't think that would come from that side.
When I say that to Donald Trump's side, I was like that these there's issues in the
black community and they have to be addressed.
Yeah.
No, it had to be addressed.
Better healthcare had to be addressed.
Better diet had to be addressed. health care had to be addressed better diet had to be addressed
how you take care of yourself not just i mean it's closer to me because that's my community
but the one thing that is going to teach us or is going to come out is that we just got to live
better yeah we got to live better as just people love better you know what i'm saying we got to live better as just people. Love better. You know what I'm saying?
We got to love better.
We got to love harder.
Yeah.
We got to really appreciate life.
Pettiness has to stop.
That's hard, but yes.
It's so fucking hard, but it's so fucking stupid.
And the reason why pettiness doing something like this is so fucking stupid,
because you don't know what the next day holds
You don't know if you're gonna get a car for somebody saying they have it So and this is what I say about everybody's like it's so stressful right now. This is the time motherfuckers should be at peace
This is the time you should be more connected to your family than anything
Yeah, because if something happened the scary thing about this is that've said it before, is that motherfuckers are dying by themselves.
So what you want to do, spend your time being petty about some dumb shit?
How are you going to feel?
You're petty about some dumb shit, some trivial shit.
Then something happens to you.
And then you don't get to go see your fucking loved one.
You don't get to see it.
Motherfuckers ain't going to the funeral some niggas getting receipts with ashes you know
what i'm saying and that's something to be that's something to consider so if you being petty
something happens to you somebody in your family
if they go away the way people are going away with corona like no funerals or anything
the only thing you have is the memory
the only thing you have is a memory so why fucking waste that time yeah i really believe that
every day you spend with loved ones, family,
whatever you do, you should be trying to create the best memory you can do,
the best memory you can create.
And I think that that's the thing that is going to be the positive out of this
is that it's really a chin check.
This whole thing is a chin check.
Yeah.
You know?
Get the shit right.
I found myself living more in the present.
It's helped me because I've always, you know,
I suffer from anxiety and I'm always thinking about the future
and what's going to happen.
I ain't know you as crazy.
Anxiety does not mean crazy, Donnell.
That's what Charlamagne said.
That nigga put all that shit into crazy.
I ain't mean crazy like that, but go ahead.
Charlamagne and i have um similar stories no but i i i currently am living in the
present i feel like ain't nobody i don't i don't gotta worry about nobody's set because ain't
nobody on set but us right um and so it's helped me with that this this time has definitely helped
me with just living in the present and i call my my family. I call them anyway, but now I speak to them almost all day, every day.
Yeah.
We're not shooting.
So.
In conclusion.
Live harder.
Yo.
Turn my mic up.
It's all the way up.
Uh.
We at a tough time in our life.
And what makes it even tougher is you got to argue and fight with your wife.
No strife, no no anger nothing but love appreciate a motherfucker before you above

curfew hachoo whoa that's corona in your face not a disgrace bring that beat back do i got a beat
i don't got a beat all i want to say is all we can do is live your dash. And I've said it before.
And it's coming from ash.
