And me and Sean was just blessed to have dope-ass big brothers and sisters that cared and loved us, you know? Now, let me ask you a question about Sean that I always wanted to ask. Is he really a DJ or was that just for a living? He wasn't a DJ. I saw him and it's a real DJ. Yeah, I always wanted to ask this question.
Starting point is 00:07:58 No, as a DJ, I was like, come on, man. No, I'm going to tell you something. Back in the day, he was... Hold on, hold on. Come on, everybody. What the fuck you got doing? Let's get ready, DJ. Back in the day, Sean was like the Milli Vanilli of DJs. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:08:15 It wasn't connected. It wasn't connected. Yeah, it wasn't connected. He was lip syncing DJ movies. But now, Sean, my, Sean is a DJ. Oh, that's wild. He does parties all over the place. Mine as well.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I want SW1 to be like the new Asian dude that jump up and down. Oh, not Khaled, right? Karaoke. You said Khaled? Khaled? That was not Khaled. Who the hell? Karaoke?

Starting point is 00:09:00 Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? Khaled? So, Living Color was like the black version of Saturday Night Live, right? Why do you think Living Color never had, like, spin-offs like Anchorman and, like, Ladies' Man? I think everything they did was a spin-off. I mean, there's a lot of things after that.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Why do you think actual movies didn't come from that? I think Living Color was such a big thing. And when it happened, it was so big that I don't think everybody knew the behemoth that it was. I think it was just like this big explosion. We were like, yo! We had no idea. You know, you got to understand, Saturday Night Live has been around for 20-some-odd, 25, 30 years. So they've got to really look at the business of what Saturday Night Live was. When Living Color happened, you know, it was just a bunch of
Starting point is 00:09:46 young, dope niggas and nobody knew, like, nobody knew it was going to be the brand that it was. I mean, in hindsight, I wish In Living Color was still on. And In Living Color was only on four or five seasons because of the business that transpired, you know, where Saturday Night Live, NBC takes
Starting point is 00:10:02 care of the loss. How about the reboot? And make sure that... When the reboot was at a reboot. The reboot, you need the right support system to do a reboot. And Limit Color was such a dope show. Yeah, you don't want to fuck that up.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Yeah, and you've got to get more writers. And they had, like, Kenan's got a great eye for talent. Like, on the Limit Color reboot, he had hot talent. Like, talent like on on the look of a reboot he had high talent and like little rel was on the get out little Damon and Cindy Castillo once again I we got a he knows who's dope and I'm high you know actually got some taping of the original living color I got a lot I'm so I'm I don't even know where we just filmed it at. Was it? It was in L.A.
Starting point is 00:10:48 No, it was in L.A. It was in L.A. Can you open the window? Open it up. Come on. I'm hot. Open it up. We don't got windows, but we don't got windows.

I'm not the one to answer this question because everybody be like, oh, nigga, you just saying that because he's your brother. Damon Wayans is, to me, top three ever. To me, you got Richard, Eddie, and Damon. Oh, I thought you were going to say Red Fox.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Aren't you named after Red Fox? Isn't he your middle name? No, nigga. Oh, no, Lamar. Lamar. Lamar. My middle name is Lamar. My first name is Marlon.

Starting point is 00:13:07 Yeah, like, let's get out. Yo, come get me. Come get me. So before I move on, I do. Damon is severely underrated because when I look at comedy, I look and when I judge, and listen, there's other great greats there's great things about everybody you know everybody but Damon to me is a guy that can do characters he can tell the joke he can show you the joke he talked about his pain and be a part of the joke he talked about his pain and
Starting point is 00:13:39 made that funny he talked about his truth he talked about his life and then he did things that was innovative when he twisted up his arm to play his physical comedy I've never seen nobody do that I've never seen nobody do that I've never seen somebody say what if I commit suicide and I live and my feet was attached to my body like the images that this man would create to me as a little, even as a little boy, as a man, and as an artist, I go, Damon Wayans is that dude. And I'm just blessed to have been raised in a house with a legend like him and a legend like Kenan. Goddamn, make some noise for that. What is the age gap between y'all? Can you get some fucking air condition

Because I'm high as fuck. Do you ever look at, you know, passing of Tupac, and you actually played in the film and you actually killed Tupac Well the room you talk to him like you ever does it ever get spooky for you where you sit back and say damn
Starting point is 00:18:11 You know, I acted that out once you know, I'm sad that'll be spooky for me I mean now that you think about it in this neighborhood you got me I guess it's loose.

Starting point is 00:19:07 We can't keep it too open. You see the movie, Verb Box? After Blood. After Blood. Oh. First off, I think we should shout out. We'll go get back to the Supak question. We can shout out.
Starting point is 00:19:15 You had the improv tonight. Yeah. Right, Jharrel. Jharrel. Improv. I'm gonna say it wrong all day. Jharrel. Jharrel.

One show tonight, Friday, two shows on Saturday, one show Sunday, and then New Year's Eve, which is Monday. I got two shows, so bring in the New Year's with me.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Brand new set. Nothing you've seen in Wilkish. That's funny for me because when I look at a comedian, that's what I certainly go for, is to make sure
Starting point is 00:19:49 they don't repeat material. You know what I'm saying? It's like sometimes when I go see Jay for a show or I go see Kanye or something, every show I want something different.
Starting point is 00:19:57 So that's what you're saying, like every time it's not repeated material? No, it's not repeated material. Oh, every show. Here's the thing, rap, y'all can do that. People don't want to hear it. No, we'all can do that people people don't wanna hear
Starting point is 00:20:06 no we can do the same song but don't lay it out the same way yeah but y'all can do that music I can't and the audience
Starting point is 00:20:13 will sing along I can't do that in the fucking stand up nigga niggas is like nah that's the we heard the old shit where the new shit at
Starting point is 00:20:21 if somebody come to my show I make my opener ask how many people seen me perform live before. So then I can guesstimate about how many people have seen the new set. So if there's jokes that I have in my arsenal,
Starting point is 00:20:38 I go, I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to show them all new because 65 people in the crowd just clapped that they've seen me before so I gotta come at this brand new and unless I'm working for a special but I never like to repeat the same material like I like to go out there and give a fresh show and if I do it in special I ain't doing that shit again it's dead it's dead to me dead to me now I could do a character And reboot a character
Starting point is 00:21:06 Like you know And put the character In a different situation But I'm not trying to Repeat a joke You had a Netflix special In the Smackdown in the middle
Starting point is 00:21:15 Of like Monique controversy Where Monique is saying that But you know And then you had a You had a Netflix special And he was very quiet about What they
Starting point is 00:21:22 I was going to get that money All that black pride and style. I feel you, sister. Did you say black pride and style? Yeah. Oh, I never heard of that. Black pride and style. I was going to get that money.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I'm on diabetes. I got bills to pay. Her sugar... We need the sugar checkers. Come on, sugar checkers is expensive. I was going to get that money. I was going to get that money. I don't get that. I don't get that money. I don't even talk about it.
Starting point is 00:21:48 It was mighty good to me. It was in the middle of all that. But, you know, my feeling on that whole situation is like, you know, in the audit negotiation, everybody always feels that their value is X. Or your worth is X. But it's not about worth. They're going to play you your value.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And your value is what they deem the price they feel comfortable paying you. No matter what, worldwide, they want numbers and they go, this is what we're going to pay you. That's why Netflix don't give you numbers because they don't want you to feel. Well, I think it's part of their matrix.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Netflix, they'll give you certain hints about where regions you're doing well and things like that. But in the art of negotiation, there always comes a time where you have to say yes or no. And if you say no, then walk and you ain't the negotiations over so you gonna on press tours and all that I don't think it's helpful you know but at the same time you know I love Monique I think Monique is severely underrated she's kicking ass in Vegas right now really underrated comedian the girl is she's a very funny lady. Yes, she is. But at the end of the day, you know, what they're going to pay you is what they're going to pay you.
Starting point is 00:23:11 No matter what you try to do, they're still going to be like, yeah, I heard all that, but we're going to pay you this. So for me, you know, in that negotiation, I was like, you know, we got to a number and I was like whether or not I like the number is not important What's important is that I go ahead and do this and I show the world that I do stand-up and go to AC now I don't feel it's coming The words on your wide open the game, okay the words on your phone. The wide open the game. Okay. The words on your phone. I got notes. I'm like, what's that movie I just saw? It took me, Harrison, Kevin Hart. Night School.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Night School. Night School. The words on your phone. I'm dyslexic. So it does come out like, I'm dyslexic. I'm like, so your favorite movie is The British. Are you reading your questions, nigga? Yeah, I have to.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Because I'm dyslexic. You just hit it. And your favorite movie is? Exactly. Movie's favorite is the american west with dan flores is the latest show from the meat eater podcast network hosted by me writer and historian dan flores and brought to you by velvet buck this podcast looks at a west available nowhere else each episode i'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
Starting point is 00:24:56 in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.
Starting point is 00:25:27 But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests
Starting point is 00:27:36 trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

So, your favorite movie is The Bridges of Madison County? Where's he going? Is that your favorite movie for real, The Bridges of Madison County? Can I be romantic, nigga?

Put this on. I should put this on and watch all you niggas cry. Not put this on! Put this on! A room full of hardcore weed so all you niggas cry. She should've left though!

Which makes a Dominican. Wait! What do we have left? We just mix up Dominican. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Starting point is 00:29:28 Bridges? Bridges of Madison County. I thought you said midges of Madison County. Bridges of Madison County. Go on. Y'all ain't got the air conditioning. This is a trip. He's like, get out.
Starting point is 00:29:40 He's got me in the lung. Emma Rose wasn't even in the time. He's so high, he can't talk no more. Who said that? Okay, Brisbane, Madison County. Here's why. Because Brisbane, Madison County was a movie about a woman who was Meryl Streep. And her husband, okay, her husband goes on a road trip.
Starting point is 00:30:03 She has two kids. And when he's gone, this photographer comes in town and winds up smashing. To smother Reeds. Wait, wait, wait. To smother Reeds. He beats it out. The way the husband can't, because he's the husband. So they wind up falling in love in three or four days.
Starting point is 00:30:23 And then what happens is, her husband comes back with the kids. And she's like, should I leave or should I go? Now, this happened. But what happened was the children found her diary and her book. And in the book, it tells about this love story that mom cheated on dad. And meanwhile, they're going through stuff in their life and the whole thing is kind of like a lesson about life which is love and lust and choices that you make and it's there is no wrong choices in life and there's no wrong experiences because that experience that she had with that dude for those three days getting all slobbered out. It was right for her at that moment.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Getting wiped all over that kitchen sink. Gave her the tenacity and the love to stay with her children for the rest of their lives. So for me, it was a beautiful book.
Starting point is 00:31:15 It's a great book, but it's a beautiful movie and she watched it. Is this an awe moment in Drink Caps? One, two, three. Awe. Awe.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Why the fuck you put the Puerto Rican thing on the bottom of it? Why you put it in Puerto Rico? Why you gotta be Puerto Rican? Who got this? All right. The Cuban got it! Oh, this nigga.
Starting point is 00:31:31 That shit's so loud, it come like a. You see how I keep going around the world? So what's interesting is when you Google you and you say your top three rappers, it's Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie. That means- I love you too. I love you too. I love you too.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you, girl. I'm doing it for you. So what's interesting is when you Google you, and you say your top three rappers, it's Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie. That means, if that's you.
Starting point is 00:31:49 I love you, too. No, no, no. I feel like that. Don't get emotional. Watch out, watch out. Don't get emotional. Let's go. No, but hear me out.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Hear me out. I liked it in your album. No, no, no. I still got to see it here. Hear me out, but most comedians, you know, they don't have that traditional list. Like, I could tell you really listen to hip-hop. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:32:07 You know what I mean? Like, so many people would just say Tupac. It was Nas, Biggie, and Jay, I believe. But so many people would say Tupac just because Tupac is dead. Tupac is great. Tupac is great. He's great. I got to give it up for Pac because of his diversity.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I got to give it up for, you know, Dear Mama make me cry. I heard that song. I call my mama. Nigga, and she talk a lot. I gotta give it up for you know dear mama make me make a nigga cry She talked a lot you knew pop was big like that when you worked with him on above the rim I knew he was special. Hmm. I knew that how about Bernie? I know he was special He did you think you know, he's a king comedy, huh? Did you know he was a king of comedy when you met because remember he's playing now Yeah, well, he wasn't a king of comedy back when we was doing that movie What did you see the king of comedy? Absolutely? Okay anybody I ever put in a movie or anybody Don't be a man I forgot about that. That's a classic. You know what? You know what's so fucked up?
Starting point is 00:33:07 Bernie was my friend, and we put him in waves, brother. Let me tell you what's so fucked up about how I look at you. We put him in waves, brother. Shut up, bitch. To show him we was on waves. Bernie was a friend. It's not that I'm trying to say I put Bernie on. I'm trying to say that I've seen something special in Bernie.
Starting point is 00:33:23 If I ever put anybody in anything, it's because I see something special. And I'm not I, meaning me and my brothers. Because y'all come together in the black Illuminati. Y'all come together. You come together. Illuminati? Illuminati?
Starting point is 00:33:36 Illuminati's got real money. I think about it. I want to meet the Illuminati man. I want that. I want a jet. I want a jet. Like, a jet. Nigga, can I get down? How much soul do you need? You need all? I don't know. I've been looking into it. I'm not sure. You ain't looking into it.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Nah, I'm buggin' around. But here's the thing. If we see it in you, we gonna put you in some... Me and Tiffany was having a conversation Tiffany had me at his right he'd be flossing away How come you never put me in something earlier and I was like, oh she trying to say you bad wagon in now And I've always thought Tiffany was super talented and never once that's why I put her in Funny as Wind, which was a comedy show that I had for TBS because I'd seen something in her. And I was like, yo, if you do X, Y, and Z,
Starting point is 00:34:34 you could take it to the next level. And sometimes, just because you're funny, it don't mean you're ready for opportunity because sometimes it's about the not being funny that you need to do for this specific role That girl has always been brilliant Sydney Castillo Brilliant dude, so how did you feel about cat Williams when cat Williams made that he actually on it? He not only Tiffany he went at a Kevin Hart as well, and I don't like beef and company
Starting point is 00:35:01 It works for rap. It's anti-comedy. It works for rap. It's anti-comedy. If somebody come in here and shoot us all, nigga, your old album is gone. It's gonna be LRG. Can I get another one of these? You sure you don't want your hundred dollar wine? You're trying to kill me. Yeah. AC's fixed, he said.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Puerto Rican. He just fixed it. He just fixed it. He just fixed it. Oh my god. You want some of your $100, um, you should make some shit. You ain't got a wine opener. Yeah, we got an opener, right?
Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh yeah, we got an opener. You want me to open it? Come here, Julio. BAM! No, no, no. Open it in front of him. I don't want him to think, who got Wendy's out this motherfucker? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:35:43 Oh, thank god. Okay. All right, so. I don't want him to think, who got Wendy's out this motherfucker? Thank God. All right, so, damn. Go ahead. So, super talented, right? When it comes to putting people in things, and me and my brothers for years always try to put people in things that we think at that time they're ready for that opportunity if you give
Starting point is 00:36:11 somebody an opportunity before they're ready what you do is they blow the opportunity and now they have to start from scratch again and now you once you fail you got to go all the way back to the back of the line instead of getting there getting there getting there I see you I see you got to go all the way back to the back of the line. Instead of getting there, getting there, getting there. I see you. I see you. I see you. See the progression.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Go. Now, you're anointed. And as long as you're a part of that journey, and you do it with a good heart and good intentions, I think you're good. I'm not a hater. I don't sit there and go, I ain't putting that nigga in there. If he blow up, if he blow up, then he going to take life from me. No, nigga.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Every movie I do. If y'all came in Haunted House. If you don't crock it? Take the ball, my nigga. Right. Bow. Nigga, said you came in Haunted House? Bow. Nigga, I'll be on the other side.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yo, yo, try this right there. Like, we write in the art of comedy. It's like a basketball game. You ditch the ball to each other. You stop trying to create fights between friends. I honestly don't think Cat Williams was hating. I just think Cat Williams was voicing his opinion. And nowadays, is that hating voicing your opinion? Can we have
Starting point is 00:37:16 an opinion? Can you go to a movie not enjoy it, but not ditch it? Cat is... That's a good one. Cat is a brilliant comedian. Yes. And you know, sometimes what he says, people can misinterpret.
Starting point is 00:37:32 But we all know Cat. So we know what he's trying to say, and so we don't get offended by it. You know, sometimes Cat's just Cat. You just gotta let Cat be Cat. Because he's different, don't make him bad. He's just cat you just gotta let cat be cat because he's different don't make him bad he's just cat
Starting point is 00:37:47 so I don't think it's hate and you know look me and Mike Epps we talk all we talk sometimes you know he be like yo
Starting point is 00:37:54 Marlon blah blah blah Mike was in a movie with me like there's no I don't work in hate I work in love and I ain't got no I grew up in a fraternity which is my brothers
Starting point is 00:38:03 and so for me comedy is a fraternity so I look at everyone that's what I'm looking up in a fraternity, which is my brothers. And so for me, comedy is a fraternity. So I look at every one of my comedian friends, y'all my brothers. I don't want to hate on you. I don't need you for nothing. I've been eating for 25 years. But have you ever been through something like that where you felt like somebody was hating on you or felt like there was a misunderstanding? Because, you know, I don't want to just point comedy as if it's a perfect world.
Starting point is 00:38:23 You're so high, you can't talk no more. No, no, no. Because you know what? like comedy as if it's a perfect world. You're so high, you can't talk no more. I said no. No, no, no. I said no. Because you know what? Because the thing is, in hip hop, we have these disputes. I just want to smoke nine blunts and have a conversation. That's right. Because if I smoke nine blunts, I'll be like this.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Because in hip hop, we have disputes and quarrels and all that. But in comedy, one thing I'll tell you, I'll tell you some funny shit. I was actually jealous of comedians one time, right? And I'll tell you why I was jealous of you, you motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:38:51 One time, Mike Epps, Mike Epps, Mike Epps invites me to a show after he does Drink Champs. He had a ball. That same day?
Starting point is 00:39:00 This was like the next day or something like that. Oh, maybe that week. So I go there, they went to a pack house, I'm talking about a fool everything and there was not one incident that happened but I want somebody got stabbed I was the fire, don't blame the Latinos, man. That's very, very true. I like to stab him, motherfucker. Tell me, Cucarão, be stabbing him.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Tell me, Cucarão, stab him. What's his name? Cucarão. What's his name? Papote. Papote. Papote, be stabbing the shit out of the people. Papote just stabbed somebody who came here, you bitch.
Starting point is 00:39:39 He gave a knife, throw an egg, and bite with the wheel. But is there a perfect scene in comedy comedy or you guys are regular humans? What do you mean? Meaning, like, you know, because, like, you know, in hip-hop, it's not that we have beef. It's just that it's emphasized because people are strong. So, like, you know what I'm saying? There be beef in comedy. I'm just not a dude that's going to be a part of beef.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Either we going to fight or we ain't. But what I'm not going to do is sit there and be like no yeah I'm not gonna talk over airwaves either we fight or no we ain't if not then let's let's not play this let's just be cool and call it a day but I got nothing but love for everybody in comedy everybody I don't like when other people talk bad about anybody you know I defend Kev all the time. People want to talk. It's hard. And I tell Kevin.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It's hard. It's heavy. Heavy as a crown. Heavy as a crown. Heavy as the head that wears a crown. Heavy as the head. Heavy as the head that wears a crown. You do got a contact.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I like this. I told you, nigga. I was hot. He's dyslexic now. I done gave you dyslexia. And he got the motion., I'm sweating like f***ing... I thought you did cocaine. I'm like, oh...

I'm going to tell you a funny story why I don't fuck with comedians no more. One night I'm in club. Problem was I'm not even in the club.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I don't know why I was in the club. Charlie, they locked me in a room. No windows. And they're smoking lots of weed. They're all dying. Help me. Get out all dying. Help me. Get out, nigga. Get out.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Let me tell you something. Let me just tell you something. I'm in Brian 1, 12 one day, and Marlon walks up. He with a couple of his homies. He had on a trench coat. Can I have a beer? Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:41:36 You can have another beer. You can have some more red wine. Put his cock in there so he can take it with him, too. Can you bring two of these? There should be two more on the same jacket. So let me just tell you.
Starting point is 00:41:44 So I seen them, and he had like a trench coat on. It was a cold night in Miami. I'm hanging out with him too. Can you bring two of these? There should be two more on the same jacket. So let me just tell you, right? So I seen them and he had like a trench coat on. It was a cold night in Miami. And I said something about his pants. I said, yo, why you got those pants on? He looked at me and I had like 12 chains on. And he said, well, that's like me telling you you got on all these chains. But then I looked and he came up with 15,000 jokes about me in that very minute.
Starting point is 00:42:04 And I said, you know what, you ever looked at a nigga and you could see him thinking about what he's saying about you? And I said, I don't know. It's like a battle rap. It's like a battle rap. And I looked at this nigga, I said, yo, I'm sorry, my man. I don't even remember.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I pulled him to the side. I was like, yo. Because I see him just looking at me. Why you giving me a bad American, baby? You want a bad American? Give me the Julio. Give me that Julio. Give me that Guantanamera, nigga.

Starting point is 00:44:20 But is that how comedians is? When you see something, you could just really, like, a lot of people, like, you can't be, you can't be taught funny. Oh, can you? Is it something automatic? We take it in the environment. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:36 All right, nigga, you want a bet? Nigga, like Terminator. You walk in the room, it's like, oh, and it just happens real quick. And people go, where do you get that from?

Right now, 21 Savage dropped an album. In his album, one line he said, I want to have Jewish money, right?
Starting point is 00:51:04 He made no disrespect to the Jewish community. said, I want to have Jewish money, right? Yeah. He made no disrespect to the Jewish community. What he's trying to say is, you know, Jewish people in the neighborhood always have money, right? Yeah. So if we could offend people and rap with those type of lines, what is comedy?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Like, what is the future of comedy? Listen, people don't get offended by that. In comedy? People ain't seeing what's happening. There's outside forces that are intervening and coming at us and attacking us on social media. And these are bots. And these bots are created from other countries that's trying to take and bring down everybody and anybody that's successful right now.
Starting point is 00:51:47 They're trying to bring it down. They're trying to create these wars. They're trying to make us ultra-sensitive. They're trying to create and disrupt us and create an unharmonious society. And these stupid motherfucking people start feeding into this. And the press picks this bullshit up
Starting point is 00:52:05 and the press puts this out and they feed it back in and what's happening is you're killing the core and the fiber of America. Woo! And people don't even
Starting point is 00:52:14 understand that we're being we're being puppeted. You stupid motherfuckers. And I'm not even this is a high thought. It sounds real. No, that shit's real.
Starting point is 00:52:24 We understand what you're saying. I'm woke. It nigga this high thought it sounds It goes to the heart of what's going on even with the presidential shit right now that towel that's in the front seat You need a special time. Oh, dude You woke up as a stay woke No, but understand we're being Manipulated invaded but understand that we're being manipulated. Embedded. Embedded. And what people are doing is feeding into this. There's a bigger agenda that I may die
Starting point is 00:52:51 after saying this shit. And it's not because I'm saying it here. In a little, I don't know, where the fuck we at? Where the fuck is this? I don't need this. Alright, so what I'm saying is comedians can still do what they do. They should.
Starting point is 00:53:12 You can still not give a fuck. But what happens is sometimes when you don't give a fuck, you do a joke and now the corporations is like, yo, we can't message you because that joke you did. Whereas before, you used to only fuck with me because yes, because of the jokes I did. I don't think Kevin Hart should have stepped down.
Starting point is 00:53:30 You think if he did... What was it, in your opinion, that they wanted an actual apology for something that he did? What was it that he did again? I think he said something in the past. Some gay joke. Everything that was from the past, mind you, was just fucked up. Which is 10-12 years ago
Starting point is 00:53:45 Like the Chris Rock shit He apologized for it Before he made his first million dollars He gotta make some noise So he's gonna say Some outlandish shit I personally don't think Comedians need to apologize
Starting point is 00:53:59 For jokes Not even the Chris Rock thing That happened I don't think comedians Need to apologize for jokes I just saw that shit recently With the Louis C.K. thing I ain't think comedians need to I mean I just saw that shit recently with the whole thing I know I saw that lie I'm not gonna look that way here's why yeah we all grew up in the neighborhood I'm sitting with a
Starting point is 00:54:15 bunch of especially poor people right nobody here we're going to fluency you white guy who says nigga yeah right we all grow up in the projects and these penitentiaries and shit and you always got those white boys that you hang with that show niggas. And you go, yo, I talk about my special. You get that nigga a nigga pass because y'all are that fucking cool. I know you ain't saying
Starting point is 00:54:35 nigga at me with the E-R. I know you ain't saying nigga in a disrespectful way. See, it's not about a word. It's about the connotation of the word. What do you mean by what you're saying my nigga you could say hi, right? And I'll be like what you mean by how I could be like yeah It's what you say behind the word I'll be caught up in words And I think as a society what we have to all do is get less sensitive my nigga
Starting point is 00:55:04 Nobody trying to hurt nobody this is love what we have to all do is get less sensitive, my nigga. Nobody trying to hurt nobody. This is love. And we have to read between the lines of what's happening. Especially comedians. Comedians was that one place where that passed. It was universal state. There was no political correctness. You just let it ride.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I'm not politically correct. I probably will never fucking be. Now, I don't like being locked in a cave with a weed smoking. But why? It's politically correctness freedom here. But if I was politically correct, I'd be like, I can't do that shit because there's smoking weed in church windows.
Starting point is 00:55:35 No windows. Now if I know there's windows, then I want a cave. You're right, I need windows. I need windows. We do it like Las Vegas. Las Vegas, don't do it. I'm only. I need windows. We do it like Las Vegas. Las Vegas, door to door. I'm really on a bunker. Like, this is Sakaab's house.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Well, you saved it. You saved it. You saved it. Like, who's the nigga from Libya? Gaddafi's gonna come out here. And his boxers. He's coming out in his boxers. We go to the Vibes House Studios, House of Vibes.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Come on, goddamnit. I'm sorry. I ain't gonna big this bullshit up. Y'all can do that if you want to. Y'all can get perfectly correct. I'm about to throw you some bullshit in there. Give me some window. At least that man is a good bomb shelter. What happens when things like that, like for instance, Aziz, right? What'd he do?
Starting point is 00:56:13 He gave a bitch head and she didn't like it. Yeah, that was ridiculous, man. She didn't like it and she filled it up with a bunch of shit. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:56:21 She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. She didn't like it. For instance, Aziz, right? Yep. What'd he do? He gave a bitch head. Yeah, that was ridiculous, man. And she didn't like it, and she cut down on me, too. I feel like that's out loud.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Me, too, was like, nah, you on your own. Me, too, didn't fuck with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They almost did. They almost did. They looked at it. They didn't even get a case. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They almost did. They almost did. They looked at it. It's a good case. See what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:56:48 I will say this. I'm saying things. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That was funny. You need a correction, right? Men, we was out of control. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:56:58 We was out of control. And it's okay. I have a daughter. I got, you know, women in my life I love. You know, my sisters, my mom. We had a good run. Yeah. And it's okay for them to start getting theirs.
Starting point is 00:57:13 A correction. There's a correction happening. And right now, it's getting there because they need to be valued. Yeah. But it's a correction. And it's rightful. And so I'm not mad about it. But the things that annoy me sometimes is when it goes too far.
Starting point is 00:57:31 And that's when you're like, all right, now you're being sensitive. There's a point where people stop taking your plight seriously when it goes too far. But you think Bill was drugging bitches? I don't think Bill was drugging bitches. I don't know. He ain't ever drug me. Are you talking about Bill? I'll tell you this much. drunken bitches? I don't think I'll be for real. That nigga didn't like me. Because you say nigga too much.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Yeah, you say nigga. You don't like nigga? Yeah. But you know what? You know what I feel? Like with Cosby, right? I feel like... I don't care.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I still, he's still my hero. In terms of comedically. Right. I don't have to like everything about you. That's real. But I'm not going to denounce the thing about you that was great because that makes me a fool.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Like African Bambada. We love African Bambada. Or OJ. Or an OJ. OJ's a better example. I should have brought up African Bambada. No, no. Bambada too.
Starting point is 00:58:39 No, Bambada's a good example. You said African Bambada. Wait, he was talking about boys. That's old. I totally forgot about that. I thought that's whatataa. Wait, he was fucking little boys. That's a whole different thing. I totally forgot about that. I thought that's what you meant. Yeah, that's definitely what he said. I thought you meant trying to get me killed, my nigga.
Starting point is 00:58:53 O.J., let's say O.J., let's say O.J. But still, you have to respect any of them. You have to respect what they did great. Right. Because Cosby, if it wasn't for Cosby, there'd be no probably Obama in office. Cosby made black people in their living room. Was it hostables? Hostables, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I thought them niggas was real. The Cosby show. I was looking at Brooklyn for them niggas for 12 years. I wouldn't rob them, too. I didn't want to rob them. I was looking for Brooklyn for them niggas for 12 years. I wouldn't rob them, too. I didn't want to rob them. I wouldn't. But what I'm saying is, but at the same time, I don't condone him doing anything harmful to women.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Because like I said, I got a mama. I got daughters. I got sisters. It's just inhumane. Isn't a part of you that said, come on. And like I said, nigga, I wasn't there. But if it's true, yeah, take your ass to jail. I'm not going to sit if it's true, yeah, take your ass to jail. I'm not going to sit there
Starting point is 00:59:45 and be like, yeah. And you know that one, there was always one juror that was sitting there going, yeah, he might have did it, but,
Starting point is 00:59:53 nigga, remember that episode he did about Theo with the shirt? But, but, but,
Starting point is 00:59:59 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:59:59 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 01:00:00 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 01:00:00 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 01:00:00 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 01:00:03 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 01:00:04 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, If you do those kind of heinous crimes, you should spend time in jail. And there's no excuse for that. But to say that he wasn't a great comedian, it's not true. But look at the difference between him and Harvey Weinstein, right? I know we're all in Hollywood, and we're not trying to be politically correct. I can tell you this. I knew it. I look at Harvey and say, I think he toughs up. I did three more plays.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I'm sorry. I did four movies with Miramax. Let me tell you, they don't just rape women, they rape niggas too. In the deals. In the deals. Oh, my God. In the deals. Oh, in the deals.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Them niggas took the scary movie franchise. You going to rape me in the scary movie franchise? You going to take the shit? Wait a minute. You went too fast. No, but this character, right? And, you know, like I said, I'm not a, I don't know. But when a bunch of women come forward, what you have to do is you have to pay attention.
Starting point is 01:01:02 That wasn't Terry. It wasn't Harvey. No, no, no. Somebody else. Somebody else. have to pay attention. That wasn't Terry. It wasn't Harvey. Somebody else. I want to meet the nigga that touched his ass. That nigga got balls. He was trying to commit a new way to commit suicide. He was like, nigga, I don't want to jump over the building.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I don't want to shoot myself. I'll find the biggest nigga I know and I'll touch his dick in front of his wife. In front of his wife. And they were trying to die. Ouch. So what I'm saying is, like, all these things, like I said, there needed to be a correction. Women deserve the right to be protected.
Starting point is 01:01:43 They deserve the right. I tell my son us as men. We got to do better We got to do better. We got to tell our boys. Hey, man, you can't do that. Hey, man No, you ain't supposed to hit a woman under no no no circumstance. I get it I get she made a call you to him word. Well, guess what nigga you could walk down the stairs You ain't got you walk away. I Had a good example in front of me as a father. Black men, men of color, men of anything. You need to be
Starting point is 01:02:10 in your kid's life and you need to be present and you need to teach these niggas the right way to do shit. Women shouldn't have to fight for their rights and their equality. Same way black people shouldn't have to have fought. There should have been a given that I'm a fucking human being and I shouldn't be treated like this, But it's not.
Starting point is 01:02:26 And so when people are fighting for their freedoms, then we should support that and support their rights. Until it encroaches on top of you. Now you being one of the successful comedians and one of the people... By the way, if you're coming to the show tonight in Miami,
Starting point is 01:02:43 it's going to be in Doral. Doral, Doral, Doral. Doral. And I got one show tonight. Doral's a homie. That's why I'm here today. Two shows tomorrow. You're going to be at least.

It's going to be a special show. It's going to be a special show. It's going to be a special show. It's going to be a special show. It's going to be a special show.

Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here
Starting point is 01:03:50 and I'll say it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

It's just a compassionate choice to allow players all reasonable means to care for themselves. Music stars Marcus King, John Osborne from Brothers Osborne. We have this misunderstanding
Starting point is 01:05:52 of what this quote-unquote drug thing is. Benny the Butcher. Brent Smith from Shinedown. We got B-Real from Cypress Hill. NHL enforcer Riley Cote. Marine Corvette. MMA fighter Liz Karamush. What we're doing now isn't working, and we need to change things.

Starting point is 01:06:35 My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard.
Starting point is 01:07:14 I picked up the phone, and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let me just tell you something. You are one of the top comedians out there. You're one of the people that we identify with the hood. This is the reason why,
Starting point is 01:07:46 you know, constantly... And you know what? I can tell hip-hop helps that. Hip-hop helps the gap between comedians and rappers. Absolutely. But here's what I want to ask you, though. Was there ever any scrutiny
Starting point is 01:08:01 after white chicks, right? Because there's always this thing that they say that to un-empower a black man, that they want to put a skirt on us, or they want to put a, you know. They said that about Martin Lawrence. They said that about, so I'm wondering. They created that theory, smoked the wrong blunt, and ran the whole white horse. He's bad.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I read that book. That was a jam. That was a jam. Take a look at that book. He's dead. I read that book. That was a jam. That was a jam. Take a look at that. I read that book. Listen. Okay. We have to allow ourselves.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Hold on. This was you guys' script. You came up with that? My brother Sean came up with it. Okay, cool. We all wrote it and produced it. Okay, cool. So that's the difference.
Starting point is 01:08:38 White people don't do this. So can we explain something? White people listen. Explain that this was your guys' thing as opposed to, because what people think is it's always a white person that comes to you. We came up with this. And says, yo, we want you to wear a dress. They try to emasculate you. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Take it from me. Even if they did, if it's a brilliant script. Right. Nigga, you're telling a story. Right. You shallow-minded motherfucker. Let art be art. Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Don't come in here with your scrutiny and your bullshit. What are you doing to better society? What are you doing to better the race? Because your opinion, my nigga, is just an opinion. So why don't you do something that's actually going to be effective and instead of pulling us apart, let's bring us closer together. White people don't sit around and look at
Starting point is 01:09:19 Rob Williams and go, he put on a dress, he emasculated the white race. I haven't heard that yet. Rob Williams wore a dress. on a dress, he emasculated the white race. I haven't heard that yet. Robin Williams wore a dress. And he's my shit. Black people were trained. They trained us to hate on each other. You know what else is my shit?
Starting point is 01:09:35 Tropical thunder. You're so high. Don't ask questions, don't ask the fucking answers, bro. My bad, my bad. Sorry, keep going. Keep going, keep going. Keep going. This nigga's so high, he was rubbing his Jesus chain.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Like, keep going, keep going. So, we're trained to hate on each other. We're trained. We have to open ourself up. Why is it that we call our forefathers of comedy
Starting point is 01:10:02 coons and buffoons, but white people call theirs greats. Do they look at Charlie Chapman, Buster Keaton, and call them coons? Charlie Chapman, that's the nigga with the Hitler mustache. Yeah. Okay. I don't know about the coons and buffoons. Who calls it that? I'm just saying, in terms of...
Starting point is 01:10:21 I mean, people call... I mean, I'm just saying, for anybody that doesn't know. Yeah, sometimes. Yes. And it's been labeled that throughout history. Been labeled that. Why do I have to look at my heroes in a negative connotation? The people that made it for us to be in this situation.
Starting point is 01:10:36 If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be where we are to be able to tell the kind of stories about the kind of black man that we are. That man did what they had to do back then to get us in the game. So who are we to look back and judge? Meanwhile, they look at theirs and they applaud.
Starting point is 01:10:52 And we can't look at ours and applaud, applaud the effort and go, here's what I could do differently. Here's what I could make better. But even then, but look at when Robin Williams puts on the dress, white people don't. Tom Hanks wore a dress when he did Bosom Buddies. Fucking four seasons. And did anybody go, Tom Hanks, he's emasculating the white man. They embraced this.
Starting point is 01:11:15 But did you actually hear that rumor? We have to embrace ours. Oh, he obviously has. I'm asking, yeah. What? Did you hear that rumor? Like, that's what happens to the black man? I heard the bullshit.
Starting point is 01:11:25 I don't listen to that. I do comedy, brother. Nigga, was it funny? Was it funny? And listen, I'm doing a movie that's polarizing. I'm doing a movie that speaks about black and whites. I'm doing a movie that empowers both races. I'm doing a movie that is about, like, it's really a gender movie.
Starting point is 01:11:44 White Chicks is so dope because you would think it's about black and white, but it's more about black and white. It's about female, male. It's about pop culture. It's about where things was going. We was ahead of the curve. So for us, when I do a… We said what?
Starting point is 01:12:02 Caitlyn Jenner took a deep breath. Oh, dang. And the Nori podcast. You just got canceled. No, I'm just playing. Yeah, what do you call him again? Chipote? What do you call him? Papote. I said, Papote, we're going to interview you by the way. He goes, whoo.
Starting point is 01:12:30 I said, by the way, white chicks dressing like, oh, I like it. I'm from the ass. You don't really talk like that. I just fucked his ass. No, I get it. But I just think it's all about how we view things. And I want to change the perspective of how we look at our past. Because, you know, sometimes your past is handed to you the way it was handed to you.
Starting point is 01:12:55 You can't fix that. I can never change the fact that we were slaves. And when you learn about slavery in school and you're black and you start sinking in your seat out of shame. Because they're not teaching about all the other slaveries that happen in every other fucking continent this is telling you about the black experience which makes you feel lower I shouldn't have to feel lower about something that was not in my control I should be empowered by the fact that I went through Mike that experience was still here and was stronger than fucking ever and it wasn't for whatever experience that happened nigga
Starting point is 01:13:25 I wouldn't be that we wouldn the part of the drink champ tradition. Merry Christmas, but I do not, this is called. I just don't know what this is. I've never seen nothing like this before. Amber Rose drink is. I've never, it's black, nigga. It's ginseng. It look like you ginseng.
Starting point is 01:13:58 It's ginseng. It look like you squoze this nigga's skin into this black. Look at this. You just got some black ass in there, man! Yeah! You got some black ass in there! Sonny in the cup!
Starting point is 01:14:09 Sonny in the cup! Sonny in the cup! Let's explain to him. Because so many people, they want to give these people, you're great, you're great. I want to look at you in your face and tell you how much of a fan I am of you. This sound like I'm about to die when I drink this fucking drink. No, because... You know what I know, hit me out, hit me out.
Starting point is 01:14:27 If we're not going to big each other up, then who's going to big each other up? And us as people, and I'm not talking black, I'm talking about our culture. We got to keep continuing to say that, you know, what you're doing out there, and how you're doing it out there, we respect what you're doing, man. Thank you, but I'm a different kind of shot than... No, no, no. This is Drinks, Chances. Drinks, Chances. This is Drinks, Chances. No, no, no. This is Drink Champs. Drink Champs.
Starting point is 01:14:45 It's so-and-so. It's so-and-so. I got, I got. You want me to, I'll take some more. I'll take some more. But then again, you had 19 fucking blunts in a half hour. All right, come on. Salud.

Starting point is 01:19:17 No. You think comedy... will last this long? Comedy? Comedy will be here forever. Yeah, comedy will last this long? Comedy? Comedy will be here forever. Yeah, comedy will be here forever. And as long as we keep pushing the limits, you know, sometimes
Starting point is 01:19:33 if I say something offensive, I was supposed to. And I was supposed to give up that part of my career to be brave enough to not give a fuck. Because all the real greats at some point you gotta you have to go fuck that i'm gonna say it and you gotta be truthful because nobody else
Starting point is 01:19:54 is gonna say it because that's why the motherfuckers ain't comedians and for us we gotta say it and if i lose all you niggas i don't give a a fuck. Now, you ain't losing us. Be with you forever. The people that really... You took two shots of Tiger Bone with us. Be with you for life. And I'm still talking. I'm going to take it.

Starting point is 01:20:31 So for me, you have to push the limits. We got to not give a fuck. We got to keep going there. And if I lose fans, fuck them. Because the ones that I gained, those are the ones that I'm supposed to have. And they're stuck with me. Because they know that I'm protecting them by speaking truthfully about what the fuck is happening. And that's always.
Starting point is 01:20:50 And you've got to be a real nigga. Fuck all this, you can't be, you've got to be politically correct. Nigga, comedy is not politically correct. There's politically correct comedians and they do great. But that's for them. For me, I'm not that nigga. Somebody fought it and tried to cover it up
Starting point is 01:21:07 and he just went, I smell shit. You don't got many people on your side, though. So it gotta be one of two. You look like you fought it. Make a point and nobody else. We gotta not give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:21:24 My job is to not give a fuck. My job is to not give a fuck. My job is to talk about what people won't talk about. So fuck it. I'm going to be that nigga. And if I ever say something that loses fans or loses a show,
Starting point is 01:21:37 loses endorsements, then that was all supposed to be lost for me to find the new me and for the audience to find that I'm a true motherfucker I always spoke my motherfucking mind and those That love me will bring me back to the top cut them make some noise for that Because

Starting point is 01:22:23 It was either you Or Mike Epps I don't feel like Anyone should ever, but when I heard it, I felt like it was either you or Mike Epps. I don't feel like anyone should ever be in the running for it. I just feel like... I think either one of us would have served it justice.
Starting point is 01:22:31 And it was a great experience for me, man. Uh-huh. I don't know what's happening with the movie. Okay. It's been through, you know,

If I'm going to play the greatest comedian ever, I need to get my ass on stage. And so I started doing stand-up. You were doing stand-up before that? That's the thing that really got I started doing stand-up. You weren't doing stand-up before that? Oh, shit.
