Well, are you doing your first podcast?
Yeah, I'm doing my first professional podcast.
Drop my name, drop my name.
Drop your name, Jason Steinberg.
Well, Jason Steinberg, do you think that it's a good idea for me to enter the podcast world?
Yes, very much so, because your voice matters in the world.
My voice matters, literally or figuratively speaking?
Both.
Both, my voice matters in the world.
So this is my first time.
I really wanted to start my podcast with a bigger budget,
but because this is coming out of my budget,
I'm just going to have to do it grassroots,
and we're going to bootleg the first episode.
But I agree with you.
I think my voice matters, but I think the most important part is, like,
do people want to hear my voice?
You think they want to hear it?
Everyone wants to hear your voice.
All right.
So I guess there's no...
Let me put on...
He used to run the...
I know.
He still works there.
Hold on.
Yeah, hold on.
Hello?
Hello?
What's going on?
You don't remember me, do you?
Yeah, I do remember you, motherfucker. What's going on? You don't remember me, do you? Yeah, I do remember you, motherfucker.
You're, um, you're, what happened?
I remember one time your garage, something happened.
Your garage door wouldn't open or something.
Am I correct?
You are correct.
Yeah, I remember.
You got my car out?
Yeah, you couldn't get your car out.
I thought it was because I was black and you didn't want to come pick me up.
Well, that's true.
I didn't want you in my car, but you were supposed to be on the radio
early in the morning or something, right?
Nah, it's a podcast.
I want to start a podcast.
The thing is,
everybody's doing podcasts nowadays,
so I wasn't excited about it.
I wasn't excited about it
because I was like,
everybody is doing it,
and what's going to be different?
And I didn't want to,
hey, could you do my podcast? Could you do my my podcast but then I did Joe Rogan's podcast once I did Joe Rogan's podcast
twice I did Theo Vons I did some heavyweights and I'm starting to like it and it's people like my
fans are kind of not forcing me into it but they're saying like I should start doing it so
this is where I'm at right now trying to do my first podcast.
You know, do it, but, you know,
podcasts are getting caught on the long side now, you know?
Yes, podcasts are getting on the long side,
but that means sometimes it might not be interesting people, right?
That's true. That's true. Very true.
You were in Cleveland one time for Halloween.
One of my employees dressed up as Ashy Larry.
And I looked exactly like Ashy.
You took a picture of it.
It's still hanging.
It's still in the kitchen.
I just saw it.
I was just in Cleveland like a couple of weeks ago and I saw it.
And that was a proud moment, man.
And I was like, yo, this club is bold as shit to have somebody serving people Hennessy and fried chicken.
Hennessy and fried chicken. Hennessy and fried chicken.
And all he had was his goddamn drawers on, son.
Exactly.
His drawers on there was his.
And he was happy with a face full of fucking powder.
It looked like he just did a line of cocaine, for real.
I'm actually looking for my phone right now to show it to a staffer here.
And he didn't win.
No, he didn't, no.
Actually, he went a little nuts.
We had to fire him, too.
But he came back and apologized after that.
Y'all fired a lot of people, man.
Do you remember?
I don't live there anymore.
I got out of there about three years ago.
Were you there?
It was a white guy, an employee.
He works in a kitchen now.
But he was having a really, really bad day.
And he was mad.
He wanted to curse everybody out.
He wanted to quit his job.
He was like, fuck this.
And he was like, fuck that.
And then he talked to me about it.
He was a hothead.
He was ready to go.
And I had a conversation with him and kind of convinced him to like kind of calm down, look at the bigger picture of stuff.
You know, people have different personalities, but what do you want out of it?
Long story short, like I saw him last year.
He was like, you might not remember it.
He said, but you had a conversation with me one time and I was about to flip out.
And you made me get you help me get my shit back together.
Now he's working here and his life is cool.
But it really like meant a lot to me because he remembered me having a conversation with him trying to get him to chill out man he was he wasn't a manager he
was a kitchen worker and um he shared this story with me two times i can't remember his name man
but every time i i see him he always brings to to my attention that you know i kind of curved him
on making some bad decisions.
No, that's nice.
You influenced somebody and you did it the right way and now he's still got a job.
Does that make you feel good?
It's a feel-good feeling
and that's what I want to do on my podcast, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I know people talk too much
and I know people, you know, it's like the same shit,
but I just want really to do something
to make people feel good man but these
motherfuckers on the internet they hard as shit
man
I know I know
but I just saw you on TMZ or something
oh my god on TMZ
on TMZ doing what recently
talking about the podcast
oh shit
there you are with two of your boys
Standing behind you
And it was on TMZ last night in fact
What?
I'm telling you it was on TV last night
On TV or TMZ?
TMZ
I don't know TMZ on TV
TMZ on TV
So it aired yesterday
Yes it did.
Yeah, yep, yep. And it was
me talking about a podcast.
Something about podcasts and Joe Rogan and
I caught it right as it started. Oh,
son, I'm about to find that. We're going to be able to find that clip.
We're going to find this shit, man.
Yo, here's the bottom line. I really
felt like I was built
for this podcast shit, man.
And you just confirmed it just with that story.
Do it. Definitely do it, man.
You'll get people
and I'll tell you, people might make decent money
doing that. Man, what the fuck are you talking about, son?
That's the number one reason I want to do a podcast.
These white boys,
they get money off of this shit.
I'm telling you.
You know Tom Segura?
Yeah, I did his podcast.
Well, his podcast,
he was offered $2 million
by McDonald's.
And they paid him the money
and then they listened to it the first time
and he's filthy. He's filthy,
filthy dirty.
They called up and he recorded it
and McDonald's said, we canceled your contract
because you're so filthy. And he goes, didn't motherfucker who you were getting yo yo google me motherfucking google
me it is i cannot i cannot believe that a corporation would not have the foresight to
google the person they was going to give two million dollars to i think that might have been
a setup bro i think it might have been a setup no
because i know tom i know his wife they do the podcast podcast together i talked about it with
him he said it was real and they pulled 2.3 million dollars away from him and he and his
wife did a podcast they recorded the guy calling in and left me in a voicemail going hello this
is mcdonald's calling we're just going to tell you that we didn't realize that you were so filthy
dirty and so you're going and they kept cutting in you that we didn't realize that you were so filthy dirty. And so we kept going, and they kept cutting in and going,
you didn't realize that we just work as
filthy as we want to be? We're
dirty as shit? He goes, what are they, crazy?
Yeah, that's,
you know what, that might have been a strategy
to try to possibly get some traction.
But they look at analyticals.
They look at numbers. They look at like,
they look at numbers. They don't look, they don't
necessarily look at the show.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when you say your mom, but when you say, what is it, your mom's basement?
Right, right, right.
Right.
They really thought that his mom was going to be in the fucking basement.
Well, I tell you what.
Go back there.
Go back to their archives and look at the one that says McDonald's and listen to it.
And you'll go, it was either a genius move or it was one of the funniest fucking things I believe you're going to hear on podcast.
Yo, the reason why it was a funny thing on a podcast, because it was fucking, the better story is the story you get behind that.
And I think that's what podcasting is all about.
Real fucking stories that nobody knows.
It is.
And it's also the fact that you don't really have to come up with a punchline or any tags.
You're just telling funny stories that you can just keep talking about.
And if you've got somebody cool that can play off in a podcast, it works great for a full 60 minutes.
If you've got the right person to play off. Exactly. I think If you got the right person to play off.
Exactly.
I think I got the right.
I know I got the right person to play off.
Make it a white guy.
Nah, it ain't going to be a white guy.
It's going to be a white girl, son.
Nah, I'll keep a white guy.
Why are you trying to give a white guy more work, bro?
Let's keep the white guy behind the camera, man.
The white guy is speechless.
I'll tell you why.
Why? Because every comedian of color has a comedian of color with them as a sidekick.
And the world is becoming a world of diversity.
You need that.
Maybe you have a reoccurring guest as a white guy then.
No, man.
Why are you stuck on these white stuff, man?
I'm here for the women.
Listen, man.
Women deserve equality.
I made a white woman.
Just a person of non-color.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, you want a white dude, I would like a white girl.
You know what I'm saying?
That's fine.
That's fine.
Make her Italian.
Make her Tammy Pescatelli.
As white and pasty as you can find.
Nah, she's not going to be pasty, man.
She's not going to be pasty.
She's not going to be pasty.
She'll probably be blonde, but she's not going to be pasty.
But more importantly, she's going to be somebody that's funny and somebody I like to talk with.
Listen, I'm trying to convince Jason here to open a club with me in a place called Nicaragua.
Oh, my God, son.
Bong, bong. And do it our way.
Make comedians of color most of your time.
And also bring in a little diversity of having two Asians every once in a while.
But go and get ready for a club like that.
Go and get ready for a black club.
But the only, like, then you gotta, then why you wanna, you open for a black club. But the only like, then you got to, then why you want to open up a black club.
And the first night you open it, you should hire that white boy you think you wanted me to hire.
Yo, son, no.
Yo, I'll be like, yo, you open up a black comedy club.
I'm like, yeah, here's the white guy you wanted to hire.
Have fun.
But you'll win if it's Gary Owens.
You already know.
He's the fucking blackest white dude out there.
I was going to say, Ralphie May.
Ralphie May, R-I-P, or Ralphie May-ish.
Ralphie May-ish.
Yeah, but I'm going to start it, man.
I'm going to start it today, man.
I'm going to start the podcast today.
I'm going to start it today.
And I understand sometimes it can be lengthy,
but I'm just going to try to do mine no other way than I know but just to Don Elway be real with people
You know and just and just give them my perspective on life and they didn't got they didn't always got to agree with this shit
But it's just how I think and how I feel you know
You gotta be real on stages most people aren't on a podcast you really gotta up comedy You gotta be real on stage As most people aren't On a podcast
You really gotta be real
I gotta be real real
Otherwise you'll lose them
Right
Yep
Yep
So
Yeah I appreciate
You too
I'll see you on the road sometime
Yep good luck with that
And thanks for everything
You ever helped me with
And did for me
And the money you put in my pocket
No problem
Bye
Alright All right. I was supposed to have, this is what everybody knows,
anybody just an ear lymph or a shy lymph,
oh, I don't know what you call it.
If you're listening to this right now,
you know, I've had an idea of starting a podcast.
I've been a bitch-ass motherfucker.
I'm not afraid of a lot of things,
but the idea Of me possibly
And I've talked about this before
The idea of me possibly
Talking into a microphone
For 45 minutes
With no instant connection to anything
Scared the shit out of me
Seven months
It's been seven months
Almost maybe eight months since
I've done people's podcasts before
I've done Theo's podcast I maybe eight months since. I've done people's podcasts before. I've done Theo's podcast.
I've done Tom's podcast.
I've done Bert Kreischer's podcast.
I've been talked about on almost everybody's podcast,
which would make you think this is the perfect thing for me to do,
but I was scared as shit.
I feel more at home when I'm in an audience, on a stage,
in front of an audience that don't know me, flat-footed with a microphone. That's my comfort zone. That's my comfort zone.
That's been my comfort zone for 25 years. I have had some
parts or roles, you know, bit stuff around here. And I'm not not a paid actor but one thing i am is a
is a stand-up comic that's been doing for 25 years so that's where it's always been coming from
but then i said to myself fuck it why not give it a shot and as you can see um you know you got to
start somewhere i wanted the dynamic studio.
I wanted the state-of-the-art lights.
I wanted the backdrop.
I wanted everything.
And didn't really get that out the gate.
But what I do have is a microphone, an outlet, and a platform to talk shit to you motherfuckers.
I do have a co-host.
Co-host.
What do you mean you're supposed to have been out here?
Yo, you didn't know your cue?
What you was waiting for us to say?
You've seen her on HBO's Def Comedy Jam.
You've seen her on A&E.
She comes from a place you never know. What you want, smoke screens?
I'm like my mom on silent.
You didn't even tell me you were starting.
If you was listening to the conversation, you understand.
You guys, I went in the bathroom to pee.
First off, can I introduce you?
Yes.
It's my show.
All right, this is, we're gonna start like this.
This is the Donnelly Rawlings show.
Yes.
We do understand that. And I'm not saying it in an overbearing way or trying to be overly masculine because it's my show.
It's my house.
It's your house.
It's my show.
Whose house?
Cade's house.
But it's going to be the Don Air Rollins show.
The reason why it's going to be the Don Air Rollins show is because it seems like as of late,
every time I'm on somebody else's show they feel like
i talk too much i had this situation come up when i did angela yee's lip service show
this was a live show she gave me a microphone and i wouldn't shut up and it wasn't that i
wouldn't shut up like i was been annoying i thought i was being funny you are funny thank
you so how do you draw how do you draw or where do you draw the line on
when to shut up not when to shut up how do you draw the line on being annoying
and being funny i don't think that you're i think it just depends on who thinks you're
annoying i don't think it's about you you just be yourself and let your people find you
i listen to the podcast. What's the podcast?
The Notorious?
The Wu-Tang, the RZA podcast.
I got a lot of, and there was no way for me to do a podcast without even talking about that.
Because for five days and probably going longer, it's been the talk of podcast world.
So there's a situation where I did Joe Rogan's podcast.
People have heard this story.
I was excited about that.
I had been on the road for seven days.
I hadn't seen my son in seven days.
I knew I had committed to do Joe Rogan's podcast.
At 12 o'clock, I got to LA at like 8 o'clock in the morning.
And I had to record a podcast because on the last podcast,
Joe was like, are you going to do a podcast?
Yeah.
And I've been talking shit for eight months.
So I had to go and do a podcast in the car by myself.
First time I ever did, 45 minutes.
And I got it.
I was excited.
And Joe was like, yo, you want to, you know,
after you do your podcast, do you want to sit on the RZA podcast?
I was like, I'd love to see the RZA, meet them,
but I want to go see my son.
So I kind of like told him I don't know. Then he asked me again. I was like, I'd love to see the RZA, meet them, but I want to go see my son. So I kind of like
told him I don't know.
Then he asked me again.
I said,
I'm not sure.
And then after me and Joe
did our podcast
for three hours,
I was leaving
and as I was leaving,
the RZA pulled up
in the car.
He gets out of the car
and the first thing he says,
what's up, Ashley Larry, you funny motherfucker?
You're like, I gotta stay.
I gotta stay.
Yeah, now you gotta stay.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the RZA.
Were you guys friends?
Had you met before that?
No, we weren't friends.
We weren't friends, but of course we knew of each other.
Yeah.
You know, he's the founder of the Wu,
the brains behind Wu-Tang Clan.
And then, you know, he was a part of the Chappelle show years ago
Wu-Tang Financial he's a hip hop dude
and comedy everything is hip hop so I was excited
to go back in and long story short
I sat back in on an interview
and I was
some people say
some people
say I was overly
excited some people say
you seemed like that you seemed at the top to
me also did you smoke weed on the first one i did you can't i smoked kevin smith weed on the first
one too but that's beyond that's beyond the point no no but just knowing you as a friend i i when i
watched it i thought you seemed like maybe a tiny bit either nervous or anxious or overexcited.
Like you seemed like you were just getting into the room.
I was all of those.
Yeah.
So, but I know you, but also like, I also know how you are anyway.
You're the most high energy.
Like you are the person I think is on Adderall every fucking minute.
You cannot give, you can't give, listen, you can't give me Kevin Smith weed and then give me a Tito's Itani.
And I wasn't smashed, but I was feeling nice.
But the thing was, I was excited.
And the reason why I was so excited,
because on this podcast I did with Joe,
we were talking about the possibility
of him produce the podcast for me.
Jamie committed to it.
Whether they do it or not, it doesn't matter,
because I'm doing it right now.
You know what I'm saying, that doesn't matter.
But I was excited, I was finally going to get this shit off.
And then when RZA came in, you want to answer your phone?
I don't know how to turn it off.
I have to do a phone.
I just got it.
You are the most disrespectful, non-professional.
You didn't tell me when you were starting.
I was in the bathroom for 40 minutes trapped because he was on a phone call.
The cameras are rolling.
Behind the camera guy, did he or did he not trap me in the bathroom for
40 minutes i didn't trap you in the bathroom well he told me not to come out no no no no no no no
no let's let's get that straight that could be some allegations 20 years from now okay
not in the me too is i didn't trap her what she's saying my voice made her stop to think to hear my
voice it's something that a lot of people don't want to do here's the thing about you that i love
and this is there's something that you love about me yeah and this is i think it plays to like the
whole rogan rizzo podcast and this is what it is donnell is the kind of person who's like a full
energy creative person you go with the flow if you have an idea to call your manager and record it in
the moment and that traps me in the bathroom you're gonna do it because it's brilliant and
the thing about it we talked about you while you were waiting i talked i had a conversation with a guy used to manage a improv comedy club and we was talking
about me starting the podcast yes and he was saying he said um yeah you know what you got to
do for your podcast he said you got to get a white guy basically he's saying people like white men
right who are those people that like them better than what white women white white people i just think
he thought that i should have some diversity and i agree with him i don't necessarily need it but
you know what's wrong with having a white person but i didn't want to have a white dude i'd rather
have a white dude behind the camera yeah i have a white i think it's a woman you need i'm supposed
to say what am i supposed to say chick Chick or woman? Whatever. I like chick.
I'm okay.
I think woman's a technical, like the PC term.
So I could say white chick?
You could say white chick.
You could say whatever.
You could say white bitch if you're friends with me. Oh, oh.
But you gotta be friends.
That word offended me.
And I know I would never be able to get away with calling you a white bitch on the show.
No.
Yeah, you, well, maybe, I don't know.
Listen, listen.
Let me finish what I was gonna say about you.
Okay.
This is Donnell. Okay. Donnell calls me. what I was going to say about you. Okay, I'll let you talk.
This is Donnell, okay?
Donnell calls me.
We're supposed to meet at 11 o'clock today.
Mind you, I got up at like 7 to move all my furniture out
because my place is tiny, like the bathroom.
The whole place is teeny tiny.
Donnell calls me 8.15.
He's supposed to be here at 11.
He's like, I think I'm going to get a coffee and come over right now.
I was excited. I was like, motherfucker, I'm in to get a coffee and come over right now. I was excited.
I was like, motherfucker, I'm in bed.
Is that your impression of me?
I'm in bed.
Yes, sir.
I was like, you cannot come over now.
And then I go, Deary's coming first to set everything up at 930.
He's like, so why can't I be there?
I want to watch that shit.
I'm like, fine.
You know what?
You can come at 10.
No, that's not what I said.
No, this is what I said.
No, you said you could come at 10.30.
10.
And what's his name again?
I'm sorry.
Deary.
Deary.
I just get, we getting, Deary.
They just met.
Dave Deary.
Deary.
Deary.
And then she said.
I said he's coming at 9.30.
Yeah, no, wait.
She said, Deary's coming at 9.30.
You could come there at 10.30.
10.
I was like, is Deary gay?
Like, what is like, like.
Vince is out on deck.
I said, you can't come till 10. I still have to get a shower and get ready. Deary's coming at 9.30. Yeah, and I said, is Deary gay? Like, what is like, like. This is how it went down. I said, you can't come till 10.
I still have to get a shower and get ready.
Deary's coming at 9.30.
Yeah, I said, what is he gay?
He the only person can see you looking fucked up?
That's what he said.
He goes, what is he gay?
He goes, why can't I be there while you're getting ready?
What is he gay?
Why is he allowed to see you like that?
I was like, no, because when you're here, I have to, like, I have to be available for
you.
I understand.
In a snap.
No, I just was, you know, I just was you know i just was i was just i was excited
about it no but the best part of the whole story is that he showed up at 11 i showed up at 11
because i had to do i had to run a couple errands and get a couple cameras and get ready but the
point is but that's that's just the way you are so like even in on the rogue and rizzo thing i
honestly thought you settled down after the first like half hour I settled down immediately like everybody everybody everybody want like everybody wants a super
serious Wu-Tang interview I thought everybody want to enter I think everybody want to enter
Shaolin temples and they want to know the the intricacies of the Wu-Tang and how it got started. But my thought was this.
Of 25 years of Wu-Tang, 30 years of Wu-Tang,
I thought that I might have been wrong,
and they let me know that people might have been somewhat disinterested
in a Wu-Tang question that he's probably answered maybe 200,000 times.
I honestly thought you were great adding comedy to every, like, I, like, when you were making,
like, when you were-
But RZA was on joke time, too.
When he first came in, he was like, yo, what up, son?
He said, I want to do some joke shit.
This is what he told me.
He was like, I want to do some joke shit.
And he was trying to explain to me a style of comedy he wanted to do.
And for me, initially, it sounded like something that Wu-Tang could pull off he said we're gonna take uh we're gonna take we're
gonna take white with some whack jokes right and then I'm gonna flip them and then I'm gonna like
he was gonna put Wu-Tang on comedy but the funny thing for me was like he was funny he was funny
off camera yeah he was funny but the minute we rode and not to say take it away from anything
it just like it felt like we enter the temple that happens sometimes i i feel like because when i go to do joey diaz sometimes we'll shoot the shit
i'm scared to do joey's podcast how come because he'll go hard he'll shut me out he'll call me the
wrong name i love joy but that motherfucker start fucking with me and i won't have nothing to say
but i love joy you'll be fine you will be fine but like i feel like a lot of times the stuff
that happens before the mics come on because everybody when the mics come on it takes a little time to like just be yourself that's not a natural
fucking we don't usually sit behind a shitty walmart card table but that's it but that's how
that's how it felt to me like going into it like i felt comfortable you know i'm saying yeah and
then it was just like right before that i had already uh asked joe rogan can he spit a 16 i know that was so that's
what i mean though like i thought and also joe was laughing rizzo was laughing that vegan stuff
was so when you were when you kept saying i don't hate vegans but i don't want no vegan struggle
play all that shit it was and the reason why because i don't like vegans are some people that
you could instantly hate well here's the thing i have no problem with vegans if they don't like vegans are some people that you could instantly hate well here's the thing I have no
problem with vegans if they don't push it on you like anything else like the crossfit people it's
like okay and I've said this before okay I get it yeah you are vegan but I did ask RZA a real
question because some people are vegans for different reasons some people are vegans because
of health stuff yeah some people are
vegans because they want to be socially conscious and i don't know if there's different type of
vegans you have to respect but i respect what he said and he said my thing and one reason he's a
vegan he said because i don't i don't think anything should have to die for me to live and
that made a lot of sense i heard that and that's true i was actually having this debate with someone i met last night who's a vegetarian right and i was like you said you said
it like you always got to put the quotes up what you talk about it's like a vegetarian a pescatarian
humanitarian i just don't get why just be a vegetarian not go all the way vegan like so i
guess if you're a vegetarian you don't eat meat but you can eat other parts like the milk
i don't i don't understand the i don't understand which diet is what i don't know i don't really
know nothing animal nothing animal but vegetarians don't eat meat but they'll have like milk but i
respect if i respect even going as far as with the with what they eat like i respect the vegan
is like i don't want this leather jacket
because we had to fucking uh kill a goddamn fucking uh cow yeah i agree with that i agree
with that well i think you have to do that but then but with it with uh what i did respect like
when when rizzo was talking about he wasn't just trying to push his lifestyle on me he was like
give it a shot you know what i was trying to explain to him was i'm not against being vegans i just don't know nothing about it i'm not against vegans i'm
against how angry they get though if you just joke they're the most uptick uptight motherfuckers i
had a buddy who was real excited about the beyond burger which is like i had a body on burger yeah
i have it's actually pretty good yeah it's really good dog introduced me to a beyond yeah but i'll
tell you know what i'm going to not interrupt
no you're allowed it's me
no no no
I want to be clear
and I've explained to this
in life
every experience is a learning experience
and I'm working on not being the
interrupter so continue
all I was going to say
is oh this guy though
was making such a big deal about how excited he was to try the Beyond Burger.
I thought it was weird.
So I just tweeted.
Was he a meat eater?
He's like a kind of half vegan.
Every guy I know, by the way, who's a vegan, started because of Chick-fil-A.
Half vegan feels like bisexual.
Like, make a decision.
For real.
You just want to be able to have fun at any party
Well, most of the vegans I know started cuz they dated someone who was a vegan and they like got stuck there
But so that's what this guy was and his attitude changed. Yeah, but anyway, I just tweeted I said, uh, no disrespect
Oh shit, that's a 212 number.Should I roll the dice?
ManDoes anybody
Hold on
She said Shaolin她說 夏娜蘭
等一下
Wu-Tang.
Yo.
What was that?
Let me tell you something.
This is, it was, I don't know what it was.
I feel it's somebody, but scam, but what is it?
But they kept saying ashy.
You thought they said ashy?
I thought they were saying Shaolin.
I don't think so.
No, she said Shaolin too.
But it was like, you see a number that with the 212 area code.
What is that, New York?
That's in New York, but not only New York, that's old school New York.
That number,
when you see that number,
212 coming,
it's usually somebody white of importance that's calling you.
That's hilarious.
That's so racist.
It's racist with the truth.
It's not bad racism.
It's the truth.
Really?
But that was,
I don't know about that.
I don't know racism
by area codes.
Okay, okay.
Let me explain it to you.
All right.
Let me explain it to you.
What is 310?
What's yours? A 310 is an agent might right let me explain what is 310 what's yours
oh 310 it's like asian might be calling you 310 right i live in the hood somebody weed 310 yeah
but a 212 is old school someone jewish is going to be on the other line and that's why i picked
up it was some scam i don't even know i really thought you kept saying ashy was it chinese
you tell me you speak Asian. I speak.
Now that is racist.
You.
I speak Korean.
Oh.
I thought you spoke multiple Asian languages.
Nah, that's bullshit.
That was racist as shit.
That was not racist.
What I do know, the little bit of Korean I know, I do know that that phone call wasn't
Korean.
It might have been Vietnamese.
I don't know what.
I know this is going to sound wrong.
I don't know what type of Asian it was on their phone,
but it'd be interesting to know what they were saying.
I like how you're being so PC about this on your podcast,
even though you have a whole bit of racist Asian bit.
The reason why, because I know of any community
that could ruin your career
or just shut your shit down before it starts,
it's the Asian community. And the asian community the vegans
can shut you down asians can shut you down not too many mexicans can shut you down i mean i ain't
even seen no mexican uh lives matter like like you know no disrespect but i've never seen like
i know yo george lopez probably gonna say yo look at my page, motherfucker. That is so funny.
But it's the truth, though.
I've never seen like...
Now that I'm thinking about it,
is there a case of a canceled Mexican
or a Mexican who's had someone canceled
like anything like that?
Can you think of anything?
That's what I'm saying.
What about Carlos Mencia sort of-ish?
But that wasn't like no Mexican uproar
or anything like that.
No.
That was just beef.
You know what I'm saying? I guess you're right. I haven't seen... A Mexican uproar or anything like that no it wasn't that was just beef you know what i'm saying
i guess you're right i haven't seen a mexican uproar yeah can you think of any no no we're
gonna have to google this can i google mexico no no no mexico what they do is they they come
together with the black uproars and they come together like i don't think that's true yeah i
think so george lopez is on well he's just on
any social issue but for the most part almost anything black with anything to do with injustice
or whatever george lopez is on it and his feet for donald trump i think that's kind of weird like
now that i'm thinking about it well now that i'm thinking about it you're right i can't think of
one in my memory i can't think of any major, like the Mexicans are upset about something.
Yeah.
I think they must keep their beefs on the low.
That's smart, I guess.
They're just happy.
Every Mexican I know is happy.
I want to know if I got a Mexican.
Do you have a Mexican?
A friend that's Mexican?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who friend I got Mexican?
What about Felipe Esparza?
Will he answer the phone?
I don't know.
What about George Perez?
You got his number george perez yeah
call george perez see if he up all right yeah we can ask him let's not even warn him let's just
call him yeah i like him he's a real mexican nigga too not in a bad way you know i mean he's a real
motherfucker you know what i'm saying like we're good i don't you know what i'm saying he's a real
mexican he's a mexican i like too mexican mexican yeah what is a mexican i mean i mean i
think he's well like like somebody works at home depot no like if he was born i don't think he was
born in mexico i was trying i thought he was born in mexico but maybe he wasn't but he i know i got
his number i got his number i'm calling him right now damn i should have more mexicans in my phone
i have so many mexicans should i label them should i put them under no that's is that wrong that's so
wrong i want to see what you got how you save your numbers uh i want to see how you save your
name donnell or ron daryl rawlings ron daryl rawlings can you hear it yeah is he gonna answer
it's 11 40 hey uh listen just so you know I'm calling you with Donnell Rawlings and we're recording his podcast.
And we were trying to think of someone we know who's Mexican.
Not just Mexicans, son.
We want to know Mexicans that's down with uproars like Black Lives Matter.
Do Mexicans have any campaigns or any like rallies like just equivalent to like
an uproar and being upset about yeah and we was looking and we was looking for a real a real
nigga a real mexican motherfucker to help us son yeah we need to know
what yo son son
no we don't hear music
But this is great
Yo, he can't be on the uproar if he had a strip club
You had a strip club, son?
He's in the strip club
Oh my, oh my big booty
Oh man
We can't have Mexicans doing uproars then, son
George, we need to know if there's like a Me Too equivalent
Or like a Black Lives Matter equivalent
For the Mexican community.
We can't think of anything ever.
No, because we don't want, we can't do a movement like that because everyone who signs up, they're going to know their address at home and at the house.
Oh, you think they're scared of getting deported? Is that what you're saying?
Oh, some DACA shit.
Oh!
Oh, now it makes sense, son.
Y'all ain't trying to get shit the fuck out of here.
Oh, shit.
Hey, hold on real quick.
Hold on.
All right.
Yo.
He's a DJ.
Yo, that's funny.
Yo, son, that makes so much sense, son.
But what about legal Mexicans?
Yeah, well, I ain't tripping.
I mean, there's no, no, we don't play that shit.
Mexicans don't snitch.
Snitches get stitches.
Oh, shit.
Snitches get stitches.
Yo, if that's the case, if that's the case,
if that's the case, snitches get stitches, right?
How does the Mexican community feel about Tekashi69, this half white, half Mexican?
How does the Mexican community feel about Tekashi69 going to court snitching on everybody in his Rolodex?
Man, fuck that motherfucker, dog.
First of all, fuck that piece of shit, Takashi.
When he came to L.A., all the Mexicans were jumping on the kick of his ass.
When he came to L.A. All the Mexicans were what?
Wanting to kick his ass?
Yeah, because he's a skimpy bitch.
First of all, Mexicans don't run creeps.
We're not creeps.
That's not us.
Over here in California, we hate that motherfucker.
Yeah, man. I think a lot of people hate him but what i do think is like i know man sound crazy i think if that dude come home
he's probably gonna have one of the most successful rap careers in the history of rap and the reason
why i say that like you are real motherfucker you know real street code you know shit you don't do
shit that you do but to be quite honest the people that support him they don't live real street code you know shit you don't do shit that you do but to be quite
honest the people that support him they don't live by street code they fucking trolls you know
i'm saying they're people that get excited they believe the lies they're not real motherfuckers
that are about that life and i think what that said is that that the people that like the life
that he was projecting those motherf projecting those don't stream and buy
you know what i'm saying but those streamers and they don't they don't give a about
uh snitches get stitches only they care about is him being a troll and him and him going out
and making people believe this fantasy world i think if he comes out that he's gonna be six i
think he's gonna it sounds crazy but i think he's gonna be a successful recording artist nah because we're gonna get him but yo yo wait wait wait wait
you know what here's the reason and i thought about that everybody say would not if he could
he come out they gonna get him but takashi right now is works for the government for the rest of
his life like even if he doesn't take it don don't matter. We're going to get him, dog.
How are you going to get...
But you know if you...
Like, listen to this.
I know if you go...
This is my thought.
If people go at him,
he's going to be protected by the government.
I don't give a fuck where he lives.
He probably would never be a mile away
from some type of FBI agent that's on his every shit.
That doesn't matter.
But how are you gonna get them they
got biggie and tupac they had a whole cruise around them yeah yeah now check this out dog
like it'll get to the point where mexicans will start stabbing other mexicans for going to watch
him like okay you're with him all right homie we'll see you in the parking lot like it it'll
get like that we don't play this yeah man god. Y'all Mexicans is more bouter than niggas, son.
Y'all don't play that shit at all.
And I believe you, son.
George does not fuck around.
He's at work.
We don't play that shit.
All right.
Yo, son.
We needed that real street Mexican input.
And you gave it to us, man.
You put stuff into perspective.
I got you my
boy hey dog and i love you on joe rogan with the wrist what they saying thank you son all day son
yo all day son they kind of yo they trying to stop me from talking son they trying to silence

What happens if we give Donnell a compliment?
No, no, no.
No, I'm just saying.

And that's what I'm trying to.
Man, I'm just trying to let them know.
I'm sensitive, too, son. He is sensitive. I'm sensitive,, man, I'm just trying to let them know. I'm sensitive too, son.
He is sensitive.
I'm sensitive too, son.
This shit hurt my feelings.
It did hurt your feelings.
Yo, George, let me tell you what hurt my feelings, son.
You still there, son?
Yeah, I'm right here.
This is what hurt my feelings out of all the trolls.
This is the one that really crushed me.
When this motherfucker said Donair Rollins is a clown ass nigga, right?
Yo, I was offended. and i wasn't offended that he
called me a nigga i was offended that he called me a clown son that's a good thing what clown is it
oh yo son you know yo son you know if somebody call you a clown as nigga that's the most
insulting thing you can say correct i mean that's like calling someone a biatch.
That's not that bad.
What are you talking about?
Yo, yo, let George go.
We're going to talk about it.
George, I love you.
Sorry I called you...
Look at, like, you know what pisses me off
is when DJ Quick has that diss song against MGA
where he's like, you're not a killer, you're a comedian.
I was like, what?
Motherfucker, I was fast.
Right.
Like, you know, like, they think funny clown fools.
That's what I'm saying, son.
They're like, bitch ass motherfuckers.
Nah, we ain't, nah, fuck all that.
Son, that's the point that I'm making.
That's what I wanted people to understand.
You know, like, just because, like, I had some good points in the Joe Rogan interview.
The first one I did.
It was great.
When I talked about Nipsey, Nip hustle right and i talked about i don't know if you i talked about how important
he was to changing the narrative in the hood how important he was is leading by example how
important he was the connection i said what that said a gritty motherfucker still shot the
motherfucker so we got to check ourselves within you know i'm saying when i said this but they not
the motherfuckers will never be ready like the comedian they think the comedian always got to check ourselves within. You know what I'm saying? When I said this, but they not, the motherfuckers will never be ready.
Like the comedian, they think the comedian always got to be the clown.
And everything we say, they think, oh, you're trying to be funny.
I ain't trying to be funny.
I'm a serious motherfucker.
This just happened to have a sense of humor.
That is so annoying.
You know?
Yeah.
But the thing is about me and you, doggy, is we use our humor.
In the beginning, I used my humor to get bitches.
That's my entertainment career.
Right.
To get bitches.
Yo, what, man?
You get bitches by making them laugh.
Yeah, for sure.
That's why every comic starts, right?
To get pussy.
Nah, nah, no.
Every comic don't start comedy.
Hold on real quick.
Everybody.
Everybody.
Ladies and gentlemen, next show, girl.
Coming up, we have right here.

Wait a minute, son.
He's at work.
Yo, son, wait a minute, son.

You try to put it on an app, nigga.
Give me some paper.
I'll get paper.
Hold the phone. All right. right yo that's so funny but what you said is it's so it's so real son it's like as
being a comedian people think it's always just one style you know i'm saying and and my thing
that you just you always going for a joke you try and be funny no this is what the fuck i do
this is what motherfuckers get together when you get together with real motherfuckers guess what you got a person in
the room that talks too much talks a little bit it's somebody that listen you know i'm saying
and and as much as i respect the reason not one time not one time in that interview did i feel
like i was disrespecting him the reason why because off mic we joked off mic he talking about wanting to do comedy
his style we joked so it was that energy and i felt connected like it's the rizzo son i'm like
oh how you ain't gonna be jittery you know what i'm saying how you not yo how you not gonna be
what am i writing down? What did we just, hold on a second.
Strip club announcing?

strip club dj phone call but i'm saying you were going to call george back on the podcast once in
a while oh no we could like i like while. Oh, no, we could.
I like his perspective and the fact that we could call him while he's DJing at the strip club.
I cannot believe that shit.
No, this is the funny part about it because I have a bit about that.
You do?
Oh, my God.
I got a bit about strip club DJ.
You heard it in his voice.
It's always like, yo, same.
I live for this.
I'm about that life.

Jennifer coming to the stage.
You're gonna bunny wrap it, hop, hopifer coming to the stage no but funny me knowing george is so funny because he looks like he looks like a motherfucker
you don't fuck with oh dude you know the best part though about george of all the guys he does
look like that dude he's like he looked like one of them m numbers m32s or whatever they call he's
one of my closest friends he's one of the only dudes I will-
What number is it?
The Salvadorian M33s?
What is it?
The gun?
No, the gang.
They always got tattoos on the side of their face.
You don't fuck with them.
I thought that was a teardrop.
M13, yeah.
MS13.
Why?
What's that mean?
What?
MS13s?
Them El Salvadorian gangsta, gangsta, gangstas.
Why would I know that?
You wouldn't know it, but that's like what we, okay.
I don't know the origin, the history of them,
but I do know no matter what neighborhood I go to,
when you hear MS-13s, motherfuckers just stop joking.
For real?
Oh, El Salvadorians, they go hard.
And the funny thing about it, my son is half El Salvadorian.
No way.
Yeah, my son's mom is, my son's uh mom's mom is salvadorian my uh my son's uh
uh dad is black you know i'm saying so like it's like i got my son is half black okay i might not
have said it right but you know my son is half black half a solid during and his favorite snack
is pupusas but we get straight love in a savvy
community especially with people a lot of people don't know when they find out like oh shit your
son is half savvy you know i get street clearance straight up yeah yeah i shout out to all the
pupusa eating motherfuckers out there i don't think i've ever had pupusa that's funny so listen
we did we did so people know our background because people are probably saying i know both
of them funny in their own right but how the fuck did they uh how the fuck did they link up
what gave them the idea to want to talk to each other what was exciting i know when you first
met me there were a lot of exciting things about me oh yeah that you wanted to get to know i'm
pretty sure that excited i know you were in awe and like
flabbergasted like jaws dropping like that motherfucker fine as shit oh yeah that was
that no actually it was i don't remember the first time we met do you don't remember the
first time we met actually like i don't remember the first time we met in regard to like eye
contact but for some reason i came across you on social media and I remember,
and this shouldn't be incentive to want to work with anybody.
And I know people may take it the wrong way,
but I saw a picture of you in a bikini in home Depot asking someone,
do they know where the wood is?
Cause you had to fix something in your place.
Now that shouldn't be any qualifications for a job or anything.
But for me it was like, Oh seems interesting yeah cut to find out that you're a comedian
and not only a comedian but a funny comedian thank you you know which is a
i don't know if it's a tough thing to do but it's not such a thing to such accept it
mixing beauty with funny that's so true you know what i'm saying like nobody wants it they don't know if it's a tough thing to do, but it's not such a thing to such accept it. Mixing beauty with funny.
That's so true.
You know what I'm saying?
It's so true.
Nobody wants it.
They don't want it.
They don't even want to feel like, oh my God, this bad bitch is funny too.
I want to claw her eyes out.
Oh, thank you.
And I can't front, and in no disrespect, when you see you, you're very attractive, you're
hot, bubbly, energy and shit.
And I was like, damn, she seems like a cool person to get to know then as i got to know you i realized yo you're a funny motherfucker and
another thing i got to know is that you're very tomboyish yeah and i know another thing you i've
found out is that you know your instagram it's it's our life but it's not all our life it's a
lot of it is what people respond to yeah and because and reason okay, okay, did I interrupt? No, I just said yeah.
And the reason why I'm saying that is because I've talked to people.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I've talked to people that have like, yo, man, she's so hot.
She's so hot.
She's so hot.
And then they say, you show up to the show with like a baseball cap, some boy jeans and
shit, and some tips and shit.
And they like, yo, what the fuck just happened?
They say false advertising.
Switching bait.
I know.
You know what's funny about that is actually
when I played Chicago theater with Joey,
did I tell you the joke Joey played on me?
No, but you told me, you did tell me.
Motherfucker.
I remember you telling me that you were a little nervous
because they wanted to dress up, but go ahead, I'm sorry.
No, it's okay, it's okay.
You can talk.
It's your show.
No, I know it's my show,
but even with this being my show i'm gonna be
honest with all the criticism with all the dragon i got whatever you know we are sensitive i did
have to the only way you could get better anything is look in the mirror and what can you change
anything about it it's true or you can argue with yourself and you can say nah them they're
all they're they're all wrong but. But with all the accolades,
when people feel good about you,
you have to acknowledge some of the criticism,
whether you agree with it or not.
And then I said, you know what?
Maybe I could've listened more.
I'm proud of you and also it's so weird for me
that you're doing such a great job at stopping and listening
because I'm so not used to it that I'm like, it's like a different person.
But I know how hard you took that.
Like, you played it off.
You made fun of yourself.
But I knew that.
Because the reason why is because I know I shouldn't, but I really give a fuck about people liking me.
Of course you do. And the reason why I say that is because if you like me, that just gives off good energy.
Yeah.
Being likable is so much better than being hated.
I'm the same.
But nowadays, being hated, you could, it's lucrative to be a hater.
Yeah.
Honestly, having haters helps you in every way.
It's just more people talking about you More people boosting you up
The more people comment hate on your shit
The more people see it
So either way
But I hate being hated too
That's a problem
That's why we're comedians
Do you hate being hated?
I wanted to do this podcast
I was trying to get inspiration to do this podcast
And I'll be honest
I got to the point
I was in a room with Joe Rogan and RZA
And that inspired me.
But it was a conversation that I had, a conversation I had with my fucking four-year-old son that really inspired it.
So I just want to play this, and I'm going to go to the bathroom.
And we're going to just pause for one second.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. Yeah, that's what I'm doing now.
Producer, that's what I'm doing.
I'm setting it up.
I never finished the Joey story.
Oh, shit.
But we don't need to pause it.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm going to let you, not let you finish the Joey story.
Why don't you just pause it and pee?
Yes, that's what I'm saying, but I'm acting like I'm on radio.
And when we come right back.
Yeah, we're going to cut it anyway.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I'm like this.
And when we come back, we're going to come back with Cindy and Mandy. That's right. We're going we're going to cut it anyway. No, that's what I'm saying. I'm like this. And we come back. I do that too. We're going to come back with Cindy and Mandy.
That's right.
We're going to welcome them to the center stage.
But I just want to take this opportunity right now
in the strip club DJ voice to say,
this is the conversation that inspired me
to want to take it on the ones and twos.
