You know what I'm saying You might. That's how you introduce it to black people. You got to start with a California roll, and then they got a motherfucker. This is what niggas like, too. Tempura. Yeah, tempura. I know I'm probably saying tempura, because that shit fried.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Then you can get like. You can't see the insides of it. You can't see the insides of it. And then another one would be like anything shrimp. Fried shrimp. Fried Fried shrimp What else anything Lobster

sea we sell whatever just what you gotta tell them you could tell them you could tell them like it's full with all all type of good vitamins and shit they'd be like i don't fuck with that it's it's like a toxin i don't fuck with that but if you say and this shit gets your dick hard right you can say anything you can say fucking uh autumn leaves yo i don't fuck with autumn leaves that shit gets your dick hard sir wait like this is why sea moss is unpopular anything in like the ocean anything with seaweed motherfuckers think like it's a you know what i'm saying it's something that you know get you get you excited but one of the I introduced, that was one of the first things, there was a cultural shift that I introduced

in 1942. It was sushi. And now, he'll fuck with that nigga that graduated. You took him kayaking on the river, I know that. Yeah, but he graduated now. He fucking with Pokey Bowls. Pokey Bowls is a whole different level, son. I don't even know what that is.

You know what Pokey Bowls is? Pokey is not exclusive to just tuna, is it? It is, right? Is it Korean or Japanese? For the most part. It's preparation. A poke bowl, basically, it's like, if you want to say, chunks of sashimi. Oh, okay.

You know what I'm saying? It's raw. It's in its rawest form. It is always skewed up. And then they had different type of marinades. That's what they usually change up on it. It'll be like a sesame, a ginger, soy ginger joint. But it's just raw fish.

Can't get niggas to eat raw fish like that, son. Niggas will be like, that shit ain't cooked enough for me. So what are you trying to do that you said you wanted to do some adventurous shit, but you didn't know how to break it to them? What are you trying to do? No, I just want to start doing more adventurous shit. Yeah. I want somebody to do it.

I'm hyped do it. I'm hyped on it. For the most part, most motherfuckers I know from the streets, the most adventurous shit is going swimming. That's the most, in a swimming pool or in the ocean? Close to the edge, nigga. Yo, niggas don't close to the edge, son. Yo, I'm telling you, if you think I'm wrong just

next time you go to like a pool party Los Angeles anywhere right see how many niggas is by the edge right and see how many motherfuckers is in the pool white boys in the pool black people on the edge black people on the edge

the edges always be filled with black people said they would not fuck with the inside of that pool i'm telling you this is what i'm talking about you see black people at a joint said all you see is this oh feet in the water no just feet they don't look they splashing and shit so that all you're going to get is straight fucking edges. Railings. And I'm going to tell you. I got to tell you this story. This is a funny story because I was talking about my man 40. I love this nigga.

He knew these was coming. He knew these was coming. I got mad at these. So we go to the public. You listening to me? We go to Dominican Republic, right right it was his first time there and I think it was like my man just came home I probably just came home so when niggas just come home they want to do all that shit especially with nigga this is the

dope shit I remember when he came home and I used to tell him shit like, yo, son, you got to get a passport. You got to get a passport. Yo, where's the mom? Nigga, fuck that. I don't need that for what, son? You got to be a passport. Why, son?

I said, this is my thought. He was like, I was like, why you need a passport? I'm like this. This is my thought. I'm like, nigga, he was just locked up. Don't continue to be locked up and that's what not having a passport means you're in prison in america you can find to the united states you can't go yo you like that that's really locked up like people like and i just and i'm like this this is. This is what I was telling him.

The importance of having a passport. Like even if this is how I feel people always try to make the excuse well everything is expensive. You can't do this. And this shit is so frustrating Deary. Because to create a simple good life it don't cost a lot of money.

It don't cost a lot of money son. You gotta just be creative. It don't cost a lot of money. don't cost a lot of money son you gotta just be creative it don't cost a lot of money and then what niggas be making an argument man how much time off a passport cost it costs one pair of sneakers you got on one nigga yeah you know i mean there's priorities and i get frustrated with and with him this is my nigga he a real street nigga you know i'm saying he a real street nigga i don't know where he looks like i love this nigga this is my brother like we fight. You know, everybody got one of them manses. Fuck that nigga.

Fuck that nigga. It's whatever, nigga. We go through all that type shit. And then after a while, we found out it's silly. You know what I'm saying? And I was telling him, I was like, passport. I was like, man, we're going to go somewhere. Where are we going to go?

I don't know, nigga. Some people think, like, they got to get a passport. Like, oh, I want to go to Hawaii. Got to get my passport. No, you got to get your driver's license, nigga. I don't think it's like that anymore. But I was just explaining to them the importance of just having the flexibility to do that. And then the nigga got his passport.

Son, word to mother, son, I got my shit, son. I know this may sound crazy to you but in the hood and this is the type of things that I would love to change yeah in the hood there's so many people that don't have a passport oh man it's crazy and I think that that is a very important document just for the mental state of saying that I could go wherever I want another thing people understand that travel isn't really that expensive I'm sick of motherfuckers dearie always talking about what that's easy for you to say cuz you got money that's what rich people say. The shit, the most shit I'd like to do, the average nigga can afford.

Definitely. Definitely. It's not crazy. If you go to Costa Rica, the flights might be a little bit expensive, but once you get there, a breakfast is like 65 cents. Right.

But it's the whole thing. A hotel is $6 a night or something like that. And the whole thing with me is like, and I think this is what is starting to take over me in regard to adventure and travel and stuff like that. I really want to inspire people to travel. You know, because you get so open when you go outside of what your fucking zone is. When you see the other side.

You know what I'm saying? We should do a contest and give away a trip to Puerto Rico or Costa Rica or Dominican Republic. You know I'm going to start River Ninja Tours. Yeah. I'm going to start River Ninja Tours. This is some real shit. No, I know.

And this happened because of my experience in Yellow Spring going out on the river every day. And some people think it was like a gimmick or whatever, but it wasn't. It was like what I was fucking connected to. Like, I wasn't out there fronting. You're a changed man. I am. Yeah. I'm a changed man.

I was out there just enjoying that shit. I'm like, this shit's simple, nigga. I just ripped some tree bark off a tree. That shit didn't cost me nothing, nigga. You know what I'm saying? It was just like that. And I'm starting to rip a ninja. I mean, traveling is free if you think about it. Traveling is

but you know what has to travel first? Your mind. Your mind. You got to think about it. You got to think about it. Which is hard to do for some people. I actually know some people that have never been on an airplane. Which means I know the furthest they've ever been is like a 10-mile drive.

Down south or something like that. I know those people. And I'm not knocking them. But I just want to tell those people that, I just want to tell those people that, yo, there's a lot to see and there's a lot to do. And again, going back to people always want to say, oh, it's easy to say you got say, you got money, you got money,

you got money. Easily you say, nothing is easy for me to say. Nothing is easy for me to say. And I don't know if this is directly at somebody in particular, but there's nothing people always wanna say that's easy for you to say, it's not easy for me to say. And then when it becomes easy for you to say it's not easy for me to say and then when it becomes easy for me to say it's because i worked or you did something that you did so long that it felt easy

but it ain't easy for anybody to say and also there's different levels to it obviously you can just go to a you can just go like when we were in ohio we just went two miles away to the gorge i'm just sick of niggas son son yo yo i understand what you said i'm glad you like the camp counselor you're like the guy in over here in the wilderness we have so so i'm like fuck that nigga y'all gotta walk faster it's like it's like you know i'm just like trying to just lead the way and give you some guidance on this is how shit could be done you are you know you are doing that you're doing shit it's yo you're doing everyday man shit that is inspiring you it's changing you you're going out on the river you know what if you know what a gimmick man it's not a gimmick, man. It's not a gimmick, but I'm going to tell you.

The funniest thing is when you, the dopest thing is when you bully inspire somebody into doing something. That's hilarious. I love that. No, the bully inspiration? I like that. Yo, do you know what a bully inspiration? Charlie Murphy was a comedian because of the bully inspiration. Oh, for real?

What? Nigga, that nigga wasn't trying to do no jokes. He was just cool being an actor or whatever. You got to think about it. Somebody, your younger brother's Eddie Murphy. Right. And then the minute you hit stage, the first thing nigga's going to say, that nigga ain't no Eddie. Right. You know what I'm saying? I had to bully, what is it, motivate? Yeah, bully motivation.

I had bully motivation. I was like this, yeah, nigga, you funny in the green room. You funny with Rick James and them niggas, right? But what happens when you get a mic in your hand, nigga? What happened to Gust yeah, nigga, you funny in the green room. You funny with Rick James and them niggas, right? I'm like, but what happens when you get a mic in your hand, nigga? What happened to Gusto, nigga? And he used to hate that because he couldn't say that. That's the only thing he couldn't fight back with.

Yo, Charlie would be like, all right, nigga. And one day I just did it, and he fucking finally did it. And going back to my man's 40th. Where was his first gig? You were with him? Yeah, I took him. Youth where was his first gig you were with him yeah i was i took him you took him yeah the first gig his first gig was because and i've said it's on platforms but it's a good time to revisit the story um the chapelle show was very successful but you know when you're doing something at the beginning like the, that's partially what Dave was upset about

or misunderstood or whatever you want to say, you know, like then and now. So the show was hot, but we wasn't making a lot of money, you know what I'm saying, but we was getting fame. And the fame wasn't for our ego, it was for our pockets. Because you're talking about three people, me, Bill Burr, and Charlie Murphy, three people that was just, if you want to say,

were equivalent to ends meet in comedy. No disrespect to Bill Burr, but you, first, any time someone sees Bill, the first time anybody ever saw Bill Burr, I know anybody that saw him said that that motherfucker's going to blow up. You know what I'm saying? It was like, it was just one of those things like, yo, this is where he is right now. And then

his thought process was always bigger. His thought process was bigger than the Chappelle show. Bill Burr's thought process was bigger than the I'm Rich Bitch Tour. A lot of people can't do this. He was crystal clear on the direction he wanted to take. Thankful and grateful for this, but on crystal clear, I'm Rich Bitch Tour. A lot of people can't do this. He was crystal clear on the direction he wanted to take.

Thankful and grateful for this, but I'm crystal clear. I'm going to be there. You know? And Charlie was a thing. It was bully motivation. And when he did it, it was just, it was like super electric. Not that his skill set was like the best, but it was just super electric that people could actually be in a space

where they could breathe around him after seeing him in sketches. You know what I'm saying? It was just like, oh, shit. It was like the phenom of Charlie Murphy was Charlie Murphy. I mean, everything was Charlie Murphy. I remember I was in Florida hanging out with these people on these boats And I kept on hearing And I'm like Chappelle's show was hot right

And I keep hearing it Charlie Murphy And I'm like alright guys Come on enough of that you know But the white people had named their dog Charlie Murphy Oh for real I swear to god it was like that you dig it we talk about but they wouldn't just say here Charlie Murphy it was Charlie yeah it would be

like here Charlie it was like here Charlie everywhere that was a bully that I bullied that motherfucker. Bullied motivation. And going back to what I was saying about my man's 40, Jermaine Johnson. That ain't snitching if I tell a nigga real name, is it? Ask him. Nah. No. Ask him. Why I got to ask him? I don't know.

Because what's snitching? Why? It's like he don't want to know. Does he pay his taxes? What's up? Yeah, he pays taxes. It's all good? Nah. Not with it's like he don't want to know is he does he pay his taxes what's up yeah he pays taxes but i'm gonna tell you it's all good nah not with black people they don't want you to it's called you know what that's called right nah government oh yeah your government yeah yeah don't be saying my government don't be saying my government don't worry i got you jermaine johnson jermaine johnson i'll bleep it out for j jermaine don't Jermaine Johnson. I'll bleep it out for you. J Jermaine.

Don't. Jermaine Johnson. They might be able to read lips. No, no. Fuck all that 40. Jermaine. The nigga name is Jermaine Johnson. That's a pretty common name.

That sounds like an RB nigga and a baseball player in one nigga head coming to play. Singing D'Angelo. Jermaine Johnson. But here'Angelo, Jermaine Johnson. But here's the thing about Jermaine. Like you said, what's the difference? Because it's so funny, in the streets, niggas say, what up? You be like, yo, you seen 40?

Yo, what 40 at? Right, what up? Bitches? This bitch told me one time. I remember this was about 15 years ago. No, maybe like when I first met her, this bitch said to me, she said to me, this is a true story. She said, have you seen Jermaine?

I was like, who the fuck is Jermaine? I said, nigga, 40. She said, who is 40? It's different flips, man. Like, the nigga, I used to tell him, Jermaine. Like, Jermaine Johnson. But I bully him in this situation. Didn't bully him into the passport, but he knew that without a passport,

if motherfuckers say they was going somewhere and you don't got a passport, you're not going. Yeah. We went to motherfucking Dominican Republic first time. That's where every nigga go for the first trip, nigga. That's tight.

That motherfucker got back on that boat, and that motherfucker was quiet for the rest of the trip, sir. Damn. Can you imagine that? Blew his shit up. You go from swimming in a controlled pool.

Yeah. Like, a pool is different. Definitely. A pool, like, if you're in a pool. Was this straight up ocean? This was ocean, nigga. Yeah, ocean is different. It was a yacht that was just floating, anchored.

Yeah. I was like, you go inside a public joint, you know, the only fear you have is getting back to the feet you are. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you're six feet, if you're seven feet, you're like, nigga, I just want to feel my toe hit six feet. That way I can do this. Yeah.

But the ocean, ocean, see see he didn't know he thought the waters was the same that nigga ain't know about riptides and none of that shit right that motherfucker went and i know what happened because if you're not an experienced swimmer when you hit water you might not even know which way you going you think you're going up you're going down until your lungs say, boy, you better figure this shit out. You better try to feel for some light. White people know how to...

I know what y'all do. Y'all got buoyancy. You got buoyancy too. Not like white buoyancy. Nigga sink. I think... What? I don't think that we have the density.

You know... You do. I don't think that. I don't think our bodies was built to swim. I know this may sound crazy. Like, anybody can swim. But you know, I guess when you get to the competitive level... Experience.

The competitive level. You just see usually swimmers like competitive swimmers have broad shoulders yeah they broad they wide fucking swimming i saw one of my guys uh one of my friends brooklyn mike i've been doing it for years he really got into swimming and i noticed his body changed like he started swimming every day this thing was getting like i don't i guess because it worked these muscles out right here works all your muscles back yeah surfing is you get fucking ripped if you surf see what you tried to do try to make it about surfing no you try to get me to go from swimming to surfing just that goddamn quick man yo you did like that you will get ripped though if you swim

or surf so what is it that surfing does it get you ripped you just have to paddle a lot that's what i don't want to do and you have to push up on the board. And you have to push the board under the waves. It's a lot of shit. It's a workout. It is a workout. What is it? It's heavy. The surf's usually up early. That's when the surf is the highest? No, the surf's like

the people just get up early because they're excited to surf. Yeah, because when I was going out there, people say I was trying to stalk the white bitch, right? The surfers was out there early. Yeah, because when I was going out there, people say I was trying to stalk the white bitch, right? The surfers was out there early. Yeah, they go out there early because, I mean, they usually get out there because the wind is calm in the morning. And when the tide is like, you know, you want to get it when it's changing tides, high to lower. So do you think that when the wind is calm, it's usually calmest in the morning.

So to surf, do you have to be a power swimmer? Like a recreational, like a motherfucker that's been swimming in swimming pools their life. Do you have to be a great swimmer to surf? Because I would think you have to be. I mean, it depends on the surf, yeah.

And the board you're using and stuff like that. But there's beginner places you can go where you don't have to be crazy. And you can have a longer board. You know what a motherfucker told me that I didn't know about that goddamn beach I was diving into? What's that? They said that's where the sharks at. Yeah. You were down in San Diego?

Yeah, nigga. There's sharks down there. Yo, like, they were saying it like, nigga, like, that's like. The beach. Yeah, like, that's like. The beach. Yeah, like, that's where, when you see, anytime you see a nigga with one arm out there. Yeah. That nigga was, I didn't even know that. That's wild.

They was saying, like, shark infested, nigga. Wow. Can you imagine if I'm trying to show up for Instagram, if I would have fucking dove into a motherfucking shark mouth? You would have got the clicks, for sure. So, you surf? Yeah. Like mean you could like like on a board yeah stand like what's that the pipe right well i never got it's getting tubed tube yeah like you go inside the tube you know you're inside the barrel yeah barreled that shit is fire son yeah it's insane no i never did that once the closest I've come to getting barreled is one time when I was paddling out I was going over a wave, you know how like they go over that wave

I was going over the wave and my friend was catching the wave and he's a really good surfer and catching away What's catching away? He was paddling into the wave. Oh, so you can also catch it away. Oh you catch it Oh the catcher this so when you know it's about to happen you like you gotta catch it You gotta catch it. So when you know it's about to happen, you're like this. Because you got to catch it. You got to catch it. It's going fast. How do you know it's coming though, son? You just see it. You look for the wave, nigga.

You paddle and looking for it? Yeah, you look for it. So you like this. You see it coming. It's like a bump and then it falls. Is it white? What it look like, son? It just looks like a bump.

So the bump is coming. So you know that's- The bump is coming and you see a big bump. You go, okay, that's going to be a wave. And then you sit where they break. But are you inside? But you ride. You on the wave.

You start back. Come on, let me explain this. Let me get this. So you on the wave looking to catch the other wave. No, no, no. You're just sitting out. You're sitting out in the ocean. Oh, you.

Wait a minute. On your surfboard. Oh, you paddle. You paddle. Oh, nigga. So you paddle and then you just sit. Yeah, you paddle out. That? Oh, nigga, so you paddle, and then you just sit. Yeah, you paddle out. That's the first part. That's also pretty hard.

If the waves are big, it's hard. You gotta get over the waves. How far is out? It can be different every day, but it's like, you know, sometimes it's out there. Sometimes it's really far out. So how deep is that water, son? That's like 200 feet. Well, it's pretty deep, but actually, so you go out past, right past where the waves break, and where the waves break, there just gotta be what's a break son where the wave goes

nigga that's always white right yes oh shit i seen that happen son right yeah and then the wave go and then and you just there like this. Do you be talking to your friend over there? Yeah. You chill out? Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, I just, you be. You sit up on your board. How long do you usually take though, son?

Take for what? To catch a wave? Yeah. I mean, depends on how good you are. You can go out there and catch a wave in five minutes, two minutes. So when the wave comes. The waves are constantly coming. So suppose you say, I'm not going to catch.

Can you not catch that one? Yeah. How do you do that? You just sit out there because you have to catch the wave. That's why you have to catch it. Nigga, I don't know what catch the wave is. I know. I'm going to tell you. The waves are coming.

They go like this towards the shore, right? And you are sitting past the point where they are breaking. So if you see one you want to quote unquote catch, I don't think I'm going to ever catch one of these. You have to paddle as fast as you can towards the shore. Oh, so it's like on a skateboard. Yeah, you start paddling and then you try to catch up with the wave. And as the wave's breaking, that's the perfect time where you have to time it to get the speed going to jump off on the board.

Man, fuck that, man. It's not easy. Can I take a jet ski? Yeah, you can take a jet ski. So what is the difference? What is exhilarating? Okay, if the wave's too big that they can't paddle into it?

No, jet ski. Fuck the paddle. I want to drive, man. No, someone will pull you on a jet ski on a surfboard. That's what I heard, too. That's what I want to do. Can I do that?

Into a wave. I mean, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what the motherfucker told me the other day. They said, I would just get a jet ski and take me out. So, oh, nigga, why you didn't say I could do that? I mean,

I guess you, I don't know if it's harder or easier or what. It's like, you could just take a jet ski and try to get on a wave on a jet ski, but that sounds even crazier to me. You think so? Because if you bail on a jet ski, you got this. Niggas just want to do like this. Just big ass jet ski. Only thing black people because if you bail on a jet ski but not just wanted to like just just big-ass jet only black only black people to do is go with jet ski anytime you see a black person go to jet ski the first thing to

do is they don't check out the safety or whether they'll look for like what they don't do a safety check nigga they don't know where anything is the first thing they do, wait, wait, wait. Have you ever driven a jet ski? Yeah. Okay, have you ever driven a motorcycle? Yeah, I know one. Motocross, yeah, one up. What is it?

Hold on, hold on. I'm trying to think of adventurous, fun things. No, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. That you've never done. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The motorcycle's neutral. One down, dude.

Up, up, up. Right? Yeah, exactly. I've done all that. I ain't did no. I, up, up. Right? Yeah, exactly. I've done all that. I ain't did no. I ain't jump up. I haven't jumped up. I mean, a jump, that's kind of gnarly.

Jumping off of a what? Like to do a jump on a motorcycle? Oh, yeah, I've done that. That's pretty advanced. Yeah, I've done that. But I'm saying, no, I ain't talking about that jump. That's an easy jump. Nigga, I did that in Jamaica.

I'm talking about jumping out of motherfucking airplanes, son. Oh, you want to jump out of an airplane? I kind of do. You were in the Air Force, though, weren't you? Just because a nigga in the Air Force, don't I mean he was forced on air? You like, yeah, you had to be in the air, Donnell. You was in the Air Force.

I thought for basic training, you would have to parachute. Man, nigga. No? No. All right, let's go parachute. That's reflective of your job. Let's go parachute parachute That's reflective of your job Let's go parachute That's reflective of your job

Every nigga in the Air Force Don't jump out of motherfucking planes Okay When I was in the Air Force Motherfuckers say When I tell people I was in the Air Force They say

Yo did you fly planes I mean I know that I know you don't That everyone flies But I never I thought everyone would Do parachuting at least one time I guess not I know you don't Yeah But I never I thought everyone would Do parachuting At least one time

I would I would probably do it But you know what It just When I think about parachute It remind me of that Motherfucking dream I be having every once in a while

What dream Oh where you're out Without a parachute No where I jump Not a jump off or something But You never had a dream Like you was falling off

Or something It was like In the dream It was like I think like not a jump off or something, but you never had a dream like you was falling off or something. It was like in a dream, it was like. I think like one time in my life I had that dream. And as soon as I hit the ground, I like woke up and I was like, wow, that's. I know. Right when you think it's like, right when you think it's like, you're like, oh, it's over. Then it's like this. You're like, oh, you feel like it's about to be over.

Then you're like this. Ha! You're like, oh. You start grabbing shit, son to be over. Then you're like just, ha! You're like, oh. You start grabbing shit, son. Yeah. Ha! Why, you have that dream a lot? No, I don't have that dream.

I've had it. Oh, yeah. I had a motherfucking crazy ass dream. I had this dream. This is so fucked up. I ain't never said it to anybody. I had a dream that one of Dave Chappelle's friends, this is a true story, had stole, this is the number, $3 million. Everybody found

out. He knew everybody knew. He grabbed some guns and just everybody hostage. That's the dream. Yeah, I had that dream. I won't say who it is, but it was someone. I'm never going to say it. Right. I'm never going to say it it but I had that dream I mean it's just a dream

my son be having dreams my son be having dreams he remembers them so you're gonna parachute you're gonna do it I'm pretty sure I am I'm pretty sure I am because

we could make it happen I know we could make it happen we could make anything happen I'm pretty sure I am the reason why is because that goddamn motherfucking ocean dive. Yeah. That's sick.

It was just fucking. What else are you thinking about? What else you got on your bucket list? Jumping. Nigga, I ain't talking about no bucket list, nigga. I mean, talk about your adventurous shit. Just shit I like to do, nigga. It ain't bucket list.

Yo, motherfucker always trying to kill somebody. So he's talking about, yeah, you need to start thinking about that bucket list. I don't mean it in terms of like. No, nigga, what else do you mean? Bucket list means shit I want to do before I die. True. Yo, you like bucket list? No, I just, I mean, in case you get in the hospital or something.

It's like, hey, Donna, you're about to die. What do you got on that bucket list? Not only that, but how many have you scratched off No what do you want to do Motherfuckers can you live Can somebody live their life like a bucket list Yeah What about a bucket list

What about a bucket life That's what you're trying to live I guess But what do you want to do What adventurous shit are you trying to do Maybe this is a better situation Within reason I think it would work better like this. Within reason, how about you put three things. Just make it like the bully motivation.

Okay. I think we both could do that. Okay. Three things we want to see each other do. Right? Nigga, let's have some fun with it, son. Let's do three things. I know he's going to go home tonight like, he wouldn't make me do that, would he?

I know what it's going to be. That'll be, I think that's more interesting. So without three, so three, you can't just have a one thing like, no, you got to do it. So with three things, you got an option. Right. Within reason. Nothing crazy. But I think that would be funny as shit. I'm down.

That would be funny as shit. I know. I'm thinking now the wheels are turning. Yeah, nah, but you a fucking, you know what Eiffel Tower, man. You have some no frat boy shit, son. No, yeah. None of that frat boy shit. None of that white boy humor.

Yo, you know what I don't understand? We've been talking for what? Over 50 minutes, right? Yeah. For over 50 minutes, right? Yeah. And that one time, this is how I know. This is how I know.

You proved it in another podcast. This is how I know you don't fuck with kids, son. You know how I know you don't fuck with kids? Why? Because you see that this is a fucking piece of art right here, right? I didn't say shit about it. Yo, you didn't say shit about it. Like, I came in here today and I was like, yo, man, you ain't going to believe what my son made me.

And you looked like, what the fuck is that shit, man? You can't afford Legos? I thought you was rich, bitch. And you didn't even say anything about it. What is that? That's cool. What is that? First off, me and my son, we did a staycation.

We went to San Diego. That's where I was at. I didn't really talk about the things I do with my son. Right. I was just talking about jumping into the beach. And he has virtual school. And part of his virtual school assignment was that

he had to make a village. This was the shit I used to love when I was a kid. Arts and craft. This is where I would shine. Right? And this is where any kid's supposed to shine. And it's so funny. Now it's going back to my childhood I'm I was young in art class I drew this bald eagle I drew this bald eagle and this had to be the ugliest eagle that's ever been painted by a kid the feathered colors off yo I had the

motherfucking ball you were looking like a halibut he had his nose right here like both eyeballs was on one side it was the worst eagle you'll ever see and then whenever my father I remember his good friend named Muncie Muncie was like my father's 40 and when I used to

bring that fucking painting out and they used to be like this man they used to be like this, man. They used to do like this. Oh, man! You did this? Yo. Yo, them niggas like shit. Now that I think about it, half of them dead.

I got fucking Salvation Army clothes on. These niggas got all silk. They smell like cologne, nigga. I look like I just came out the creek. And I would go get that ball eagle picture, son.

And I would show them, they'd be like, oh man. And they'd look at each other, they'd be like this, doing, oh man. They,

hey son, hey son, they would hit each other like this. He did this. Then they'd get, oh son, hey son, they would hit each other like this. He did this. Then they get, oh no, man. These all drug boys, right? They only over there because they're going to count some money in the basement, right?

They was like, oh man, you did that, boy. That boy an artist right there. I was like, yep. I did that, yep. And then, like, I was like, and they was like, how you doing? I was like, um, I was like, yep. I did that, yep. And then, like, I was like, and they was like, how you doing? I was like, I was like this. The eyes, I did, nigga, that shit made me so happy. And whenever my son makes something, it makes me that happy, right?

And he had to do a school project, and he said he was going to make a village. Man, I was so excited to put this together. I was like, I'm thinking outside the box. I was like, man, fuck that bitch ass village, nigga. I'm like, let them kids know we was at the beach this weekend, right? They want to do this village with roads. It was like, it has to be some roads. I'm like, we ain't on roads.

We on the beach. The one thing I love to hear my son say, Daddy, I got an idea. Oh, yeah. Whenever he says he has an idea, it's a great idea. It's never a bad idea because he had an idea. Daddy, I got an idea. How about this little motherfucker have an idea? He want me to help, right?

He be like, Daddy, can we make this together? And then as soon as I try to help, he be like, No, wait, don't do it like that, Daddy. Don't do it like that. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not right there. I was like, little motherfucker, do you it like that don't do it like that no no no no no not that right i was like little do you want me to help what no no no no i did daddy and he did this he took the clay i was getting frustrated because you got to get a list of you need for arts and craft stephan get a whole bag of we don't need how do you do arts and crafts with no scissors yo a knife i guess yo nah i don't give a it's a lot of you have your arts

He said, this one's me. He don't know who the fuck with that. And I think this is Maggie. But the detail. This don't look like art to you. This is fucking art, bro. Look at the detail, son. Is that a frog?

It's whatever your fucking imagination. I see a frog. It's a nice frog. What else? You want to be disrespectful? You know there ain't no frog up there. Oh, he made that? frog. It's a nice frog.

I don't think that's the ending of the show other than you were 100% disrespectful when I brought my son's piece of art in here, bro. No, I mean it's great. Your kid's doing his thing, man. He's got virtual school. You're taking piece of art in here, bro. No, I mean, it's great. Your kid's doing his thing, man. He's got virtual school. You're taking care of him.

He's learning. Virtual school. I love that. I got to just say this about virtual school. This is funny as shit. Because we're in a hotel and we got to, they could do, it's a one, like if you're traveling, you could like miss a day, but you got to show him what, you know, show the school what you worked with.

It's so funny. You've heard about these stories and shit, right? Like these Zoom gone bads or whatever. Yeah, for sure. And I had got out of the shower, right, son? This nigga was in school, right? I had a towel on, right, nigga? I walked past the whole goddamn school, son.

Oh, my God. I walked past the whole school right there son. I walked past the whole school right there, and my son started laughing. He was like, Daddy, there's boys in this class, right? He said that like I could have ran past the school teachers, I mean, the female. He said, there's boys in this class, but it was funny.

And this is another piece. This is Voodoo. My man Voodoo. Say he got did this shirt. That's just out of Brooklyn. This motherfucker. Anytime that I see my son's image on anything, I get excited about it. Anytime I get to have a memory or create a memory with him, I get excited about it. And I think one of the reasons why I'm curious about being more adventurous and trying other things because I always want to show him the best shit and get him to experience adventure. That's amazing.

Yep. No, man, I think it's exciting. Did you do shit like that with your dad? No, no, not at all. No? No. How was your relationship with your dad? I was, like, just chill.

Like, it was just, like, he was there. I wouldn't say it was good. I wouldn't say it was bad. Now that I'm older, I'm appreciative because he just went to work. I always had clothes and a couple bucks in my pocket. I was a latchkey kid. Oh, you wanted TLC. I mean, you know, when you're a kid. You wanted a hug?

I don't know about a hug. You wanted him to say I love you him to say, I love you. I wanted him. Did he ever say that? I'm sure he did. Yeah. You're sure you don't know. I'm gonna be honest with you.

I, you know what? I had the average relationship. Did he ever say he loved you? Yes, he did. Yeah. You know what I can say? I'm not trying to be funny. And I don't, I'm not saying that my dad didn't love me.

But I never heard him say he loved me. Right. I mean, in my mind, I like... And I wanted to hear it, son. Yeah. But that nigga did so many bids that his he was just so tough with emotions and shit yeah that I will always kind of wanted to hear him say it and I would say I did I love you do you know what it means to say what's that

gone say gone like hang up yo it wasn't I i never got upset with it but it's i was like yeah that nigga but he said it's so cool all right gone i guess i was i love you back right but i guess that's how it is if you do a lot of prison terms. You know, it's interesting. This age that my son is now, my father was in prison. And when I think about that sometimes, I'm like, I couldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine not experiencing this I couldn't imagine not experiencing walking to the park like that's got to eat motherfuckers up on the inside especially people in prison and I think that that was the how my dad was conditioned.

I know he loved me, but some people are just so hard to give them to express themselves openly. With that said, one of the things that I always say is that we have to live our life to the fullest i always preach that it was something about me getting re revigorated in that fucking ocean it's just something about it's just something that's going on right now with me bro and i'm an old nigga it's so interesting man like i'm an old motherfucker that feel young as shit. My baby mother, Stephanie, said something to me the other day. I don't like to say that, but it is what it is. Said something to me the other day, and I was talking about how long I've been doing comedy, whatever. I'm like, God damn, 30 years.

She said, any nigga that's been doing it for 30 years is a fucking samurai. He's a master. He's a master of it and then can't nobody tell you shit so i don't know if i'm coming into um a rebirth or whatever but i feel not in a cocky way i feel like a master right now it's the reason why i don't even get excited about auditions no more i know opportunity oh because i can't put my mind in a place to be upset about anything especially when it's somebody else making a decision i can't even mentally set myself up for no i can of course i'm gonna roll the dice i'm gonna try but now i think now is at the time now this is the step even with this podcast even as this podcast is growing
