Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from smartless media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's

third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he's still. Gills from the rich and gifts to the poor, I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do? What do you do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.

Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one of them will end up dead and the other tried for murder three times. It starts with a dream, a nature reserve and a spectacular new home. But little by little, they lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control.

Listen to Hell in Heaven on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Chicago. A white woman's murder. A black man behind bars. For a crime he didn't commit. 90 years of killing somebody I have never seen. The Crying Wolf podcast is the story of a corrupt detective, two men bound by injustice, and the quest for redemption.

Nick the motherfucking no Yeah Listen man When we started this show show, we said we wanted to give it to people who are icons, people who are legends. This man right here has been making everybody in this room laugh

for beyonds and beyonds. He got S. Carroll out of nowhere. Lord Wade got sexy and shit. Start doing specials with a shirt open. And he's continued to do it. He's my favorite old Spice man ever.

You got a list. Yeah, I mean, listen. It ain't a lot. It ain't a lot. It ain't a lot. I can choose. and he's cleaned the house, he's done it. He's been funnier and funny and funny. He's grown with time.

He is truly the definition. A wine gets better with time. He is a legend. He's an icon, and today, drink chess is so happy to give this man his flowers and tell him how much he means to the game and tell him how much that when he's doing comedy, the world is a better motherfucking place. Man, that's love.

Thank you. So the one thing that I'm a very fan of comedians, right? Obviously, right? The one thing I can see about your specials is you never repeat jokes. Yeah. Like, I see some of the greats.

Me watched them, like I watch them at Miami Improv and I'll go to like Milwaukee and I can finish their joke. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm like, yo, man, my dude, I was watching it. But something about you, especially if you're just specials, You don't, why is that? Why do you do all new material?

Man, I just think that people, people deserve that, you know what I mean? Like, when people come to these shows, man, they get babysitters, outfits, you know what I mean? They're taking budgets out there, paychecks to just come see you. For you to come see me, and I do the same thing that you saw last time, if it was me, I wouldn't come.

again you know what I mean because I keep buying the I keep getting babysitters for no fucking reason you know what I mean like I'm not going to do that I'm going to go see somebody else where I can see something new you know what I mean and so I just think the audience deserve that and so when I'm writing and when I'm going out on tour and stuff like that I keep that in mind you know I keep those people in mind and I go all right I'm doing this for them you know and I mean I want them to see something new so you don't work out the material that you do in these specials? Absolutely, I work it out, but here, I have like a little residency in Los Angeles at the improv.

40 people. That's like you're incubated. 40 people, and I'd be bombing my ass off in that motherfucker. People be laughing at me not being fun. But I have to do it. You know what I mean? I'd rather bomb in front of 40 people to see what work and what don't. But then once I stockpile all that material, then after a while, after a few months or whatever, I go here.

hit the road, then. Because you really be taking down the jokes that really do work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I purposely leave one joke that don't work. Okay, you leave it. Okay. Yeah, I think it's funny and not being funny. Okay, you know, yeah.

So I sent you in a breakfast club, and you was talking about the spare. I believe the spare is the thing in Las Vegas. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were saying that, I believe, YouTube, right? Yeah. Sold it out four days in a row for five months straight, right? So it made me start to think, one, obviously, I thought a bad bunny, But then I thought of a bad bunny, bad bunny

Did similar to that three months straight I believe it was four days a week But it was in Puerto Rico So that's home court advantage Right? Yep, absolutely. The one thing that I was thinking about When I heard you say that was The one thing about this is

You got Paul McCart, you got YouTube right? Yeah, YouTube is a group. YouTube is a group. Yeah. So it's more than one people that you're coming to see. Now, can we do that same thing with Kevin Hart and Chris Rock? Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Each one of them by themselves. Oh, together, together. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, absolutely. But all of them are like headliners within themselves or whatever. I was just mainly speaking, like, what icons do we have? Like just the YouTube, yeah. That can do that. And the only person I can really think that could possibly do it is Diana Ross.

Diana Ross. Diana Rose. The only, Beyonce could do it, yes. Yes, Beyonce can do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she can. But other than that, I really don't know too many people that can sell it out four days a week, sometimes five days a week, for five months straight. Like, I don't know no black icons that can really do that. I mean, you can put Earthwin and Fire Stevie Wonder and Lina Ritchie together.

Yeah, but old niggas going to be there. You're going to smell Gerald and all that. I don't know nobody else that can just do, but you got to put them together. You know what I mean? You can't do it alone. I feel like Jay Z and Nas could do that, but that might be my hip-hop saying that to me because that's what I grew up, you know what I mean?

Me too. I grew up on it, too, but I don't know. I don't know. And I am a Nas J fan. I just, you know, you know what the important parts that you're saying is the geographic. It's the actual Las Vegas. Because Las Vegas is a tourist town.

Yeah, it is. Even the people that live in Las Vegas don't really come out. They're like, I'm already rich. Right, but I think that, I also think the problem is a lot of black folks, young, especially young folks, they don't support our icons. They just don't. They don't.

They don't go see nobody that be really, it would be like a lot of older people. I went to a Morris Day concert. It was like, it was like 1,200 people in the audience, and I was sitting up here like, this Morris Day. Like, why ain't anybody coming to see Morris Day?

We still got 1,200. That's good. That's good. That's good. Yeah, yeah. He says, some guys can't get to $2.20. I'm thinking of me. Some rabbit can't get $2.20.

Trust me. Trust me. It's hard. I'm thinking to these 25. I'm thinking to these 25. I can be in there. But I've seen these shows where it be like very small audiences because a lot of young cats be like, man, they wanted to see the hip happening shit and they don't, they don't go see

their icons. But I just went to go see Billy Idol. Right. I'm in the audience that Billy Idol shit. Jam packs. Jam, motherfucking. All the way to the back. Everybody.

I told you were going to see. Only black people that was there was me and J.B. Smooth. Oh, shit. Black people there, dog. I told you, I'm going to see Koola gang. You're going to see, I'm going to see, I was with Robert Glasper at Napa Valley when he had Kooling the gang. Okay.

I mean, no, no, no, we know. It's Earthen to fire. It was Earthen to fire. I'm tripping. Kooling the gang. No, I ain't never seen Kooling the gang. They still get that new leader. They don't got the, they don't got the, they don't got J.T.

Oh, they don't think they kick a niggas out of the gang. It's a dude that's a little bit like J. You get kicked out of the group likes. Yeah, no, they're changing all these motherfucking guys. band they change them. Yeah, even with Morris Day. Sometimes they'd be young motherfuckers and you're like, come on, they wasn't around back then.

No, no, no, but they think that's the person. Like that, like, when I went to see Morris Day, that wasn't Jerome with them. I was like, who's this nigga? Who's this nigga holding the mirror for Morris and shit? Like, yeah, they're changing them out, left and right, you know? Now, one thing that I saw you explain in a couple of places and it was very articulate,

but it was something that that touched me directly, right? that y'all said that when y'all renegotiated blackish everybody kind of went in and kind of like did it individually yeah right and that's something like I believe that hip hop could have learned from y'all right yeah like had y'all like collectively you know got together because because collectively without y'all there is no show

right and the show is a hit show right it's a hit show so it just makes sense like hey guys we're not trying to be assholes but we're trying to be compensated in the way that we did. Do you think that was a mistake that you guys didn't come together? I totally think it was a mistake because I rallied,

especially with the guys that if anybody ever seen the show, we used to have like an office scene where Anthony would go to work and he had talked to his coworkers and we used to always do these office scenes. So I was talking to the office people like, yo man, they need us

for the scene. Like, let's just chill and then we, man, let's get our money up. Like, everybody else is doing it, let's just do that. And it was like, because I don't think the family was really dealing with us like that. So I was like, let's deal with the office cats. All of them was like, yeah, let's do it. When you say the family, what you mean?

Like Anthony, Tracy, the whole family. Like, that was one entity and then it was the office. That's crazy how you would separate it that way, though. Yeah, because. I wouldn't even look at it like that. Yeah, because when we did these scenes, we never was with the family. Every blue moon you would see episode with us with the family. But other than that, no.

Yeah, he'll just be us. You fucking me up and say that. I didn't realize that. Anthony will go shoot this and then he'll come shoot with us. Wow. But we never really was with them or whatever, you know. So I was like, man, so everybody was like, yeah, let's, let's wait and let's get our money up. Right.

And then I went in there, picket sign, black fist up. And they was like, yeah, they already signed. Yeah, everybody's like, everybody else. They're like, oh, everybody got to come down. The whole thing that will take to sign. Holder makeup, nigga. Get ready to shoot. I was like, damn.

This is a question that I'm asking super naive, right? Because we got black directors. We got black producers. We got black writers. We got black actors. Like, when are we going to ever be the foolbook? Like, when are we going to actually be the foolbook of movies, right? Like, what's my man name?

I just did the, the shit that's on Netflix, stalkers. What is it? The shit with Michael B. Jordan. Senna's. Sin it's that storkist. It's close. But we understand that he's a black director, right? We understand.

So, and it's successful. Yeah. Isn't that example that we should just go and take on our own thing? Or do we need these budgets? I mean, yeah, it's all changing right now, man. Everything's changing. Everybody is getting super independent. Everybody's doing their own thing.

One thing that they can't take away is, you know, a hit is a hit. You know what I mean The script is great The script is great They can't take it away Like a star is a star Right You cannot take away a star

Being a star being a star You know what I mean It's just It's inevitable You know So as long as you keep writing What you writing And it's gonna speak for itself

You know what I mean Like especially if everybody wanted Right The problem is Is that I don't think That we are like Taking each other with us

Right You know what I mean It's still that Only one person Can get it at a time type of mentality and shit. But it's like that in music too. It's like that in everything.

And it's so sad because it's different styles of people. It's different styles of people. Comedy, acting, music, hip hop. And it's like, let everybody have their own style and their own lane. And maybe it can be six motherfuckers at the top of their thing, but in different styles. You know what I mean?

Like back in the 90s, the hip hop and shit. That was the beauty about hip hop back then. Everybody was unique. unique in doing their own thing and it was like that and now it's like if you not sounding like a motherfucker you can't get signed and that's how it is with comedy a lot of times

too if you don't sound or if you're not doing this because there's a lot of comics that's doing like crowd work you know what I mean and I'm not mad at it we mean crowdwork they go on stage and they just go hey that's all they're doing right oh yeah what's your birthday oh that's your wife

oh okay hey you that's your girlfriend friend, hey, and there's no written material, they're just doing that. I'm not mad at that. Like, if that's what you do, that's what you do. But everybody's doing it. Is that called improv or no? I mean, he is considered improv, but

it still, it takes away from, you know, writing a joke. You know what I mean? People still want to hear jokes. Nobody want to go in there and listen to you get to know everybody for a whole hour and shit. You know what I mean? Like, you do that on your at your meeting greet, motherfucker.

She's just wearing name tag. Put name tags on niggas. You know, like, yo, don't spend the whole goddamn time getting the no motherfuckers. It's like, people want a joke. And I ain't mad at it. I just won't balance. I want balance with everything.

Like, give me balance with that shit, you know. But, you know, the game is changing, man. A lot of people don't know no better, especially younger cats. They just don't know no better. And that's what they came up on. But I just want everybody to understand that there's a formula.

that happened way before that, and it still exists. And it's very scarce, but it still exists. And it still works. Yeah, and it still work. I mean, you got people like, you know, Chappelle, myself, that's, you know, D.L. said, that's out here, like, really still killing the game with that, you know. So I just want people to understand that that's not the end-all, be-all. Like, look for balance in any comedian you go see.

Force them and challenge them to write a joke and see what happened. So let me ask you, right? In these past couple of years, it's been a lot easier to get on in comedy because of this, right? Yeah. So you have comedians that's full-fledged comedians that can get up and give it to you. And then you got comedians that sketch comedians, right? That's that they cater to Instagram, right? We had an episode on this show one time.

It's one of my favorite episodes on the show was we had, was the guy, Mike Epps. Yeah, we had Mike Epps was just a natural comedian. I did not know what I was doing I did not set this guy up so you know so I just put the the internet I forgot his name

is Redu Brown I remember this but I put him next to Mike and Mike just couldn't help himself he just started frying this guy he just like he was like yo he said it looked like God wanted to make you a midget

and he said I'll give you a little bit more anxious that shit was wild You know, so what I'm, I'm thinking, this is how naive I am. Let me give you two points. One, I'm thinking every comedian knows each other. Yeah. That's great.

Yeah. No. And then two, I'm at least thinking they know each other, like, at least they met. And Mike just couldn't help himself, bro. Like, and there was Mike boy name, the older gentleman? Oh, he was even worse. They were just going out of, and I'm sitting there. And I'm saying to myself, I set up this comedian.

without me knowing I'm knowingly with two brave fucking warrior comedians into a newborn basically and they just ate the newborn baby Yeah she was wild

And I laughed at it And you know that was like an idol to him Like he's getting Oh not no more Not no more So what I'm trying to say is Right There's this there's some new comedians

That you can tell They're going to supersede This Instagram thing They're going to go above there. And then some people that say, you know what? That's your world. But stay there because you can't fuck with this other world. Yeah.

Absolutely, that's the truth. You know, like those sketches and what you're known for online and shit, and then you're getting this notoriety and everybody love you and shit like that. And then you try to go to a comedy club and you try to get some material. If you're going to do that, you better go get some writers or something. Don't go in there. Yeah, a motherfucker kick a cat, a cat, right?

Kick it in the lake and everybody see that shit go viral and then you're going to stage and you're going to kick the cat nigga in the lake and shit, right? So now you're going to say you got to be kicking shit and you kick a bunch of shit

and make everybody laugh. Just got shit lined up to kick and just kicking shit and this motherfucker like, yo, you better keep kicking motherfucker because you ain't got no material and shit, you know what I mean? But that's what they do.

They have to watch that. What make you is what break you. You got to understand that, yo. You got to, yeah, you got to understand that. You're on that motherfucking gram, blowing the fuck up. You better know what happened after that. You know what I mean? There's a lot of newer comics that are feeling that right now.

They're going, oh, shit. What do you mean by that says? That they went out there with this notoriety and went these clubs. And, man, it just didn't go. all good for them, you know what I mean? Because sometimes it works vice versa. Sometimes it goes where the older comedians are trying to do the skits

and they don't work neither. I'll be calling these videos. Stop! Stop, bro. Stop trying to be Desi Banks. You are not going to. Shout out to Des. Des, is dope. That's what I love.

Dez is one of those guys that got it off. You know what I mean? He figured it out. And he gave homage to motherfuckers before. You know what I mean? You know what I love about the new comedians? This is what I love. When they get canceled, like day, three days of cancellation?

It's crazy. You didn't see. You know, he got canceled the other day. Desi, Desi Banks. Really? He did a skit about the guy who was like, I like, I like you. You know, the guy who raping people in jail? Oh, my God.

No, I don't know. Oh, I don't know that. Oh, I don't know that. You know what's all this story. Put it on. So, so what happens is, What happens is, by the way, I don't want to say the skin is hilarious because I don't want to be canceled either, right?

But the skin allegedly is funny, right? Oh, shit. But I didn't realize, so when you read the comments, there were so many, like, they're like, yo, and the comments are saying, yo, making fun about rape is never a joke. Right. And I'm like, damn, because I thought it was funny. Yeah.

So I'm like, am I part of the problem? So what I'm trying to say is, I believe he went on the apartment. Tompology tour. Yeah. Had to. Is it hard for comedians? Like, because it's like, you've got to cross the line, but never put the pinky toe over it.

Oh, look, it's such, it's such, it's, it's something that every comic deal with, especially nowadays, man. Because you're, we're in the business, especially the old school comics, funny is funny. Yeah. We not, and you take pain and you make it funny. Right. You can't go on stage going. I had it a magnificent day to day. and I got paid and I

can't go on stage doing no shit like that. All my kids are great you know what I want to hear that my kids are graduated college Oh my God My wife Oh God she did three threesomes With me this movie

Like you can't do no shit like that You know Yeah they got to You got to you go from pain Right So when you have these situations That's hurtful to people You got to understand

A comic is coming from pain from the get-go. But everything that he's saying, so he don't mean no harm by it. He's just taking another painful moment trying to make it funny. So to differentiate between what's painful that's acceptable

and what's painful that's not is some really fucked up shit that you have to go by. And it changes all the time. And it changes all the time. You know what I mean? So you don't know what the fuck you can really say and not say.

So it's a very, touchy area for comics or whatever. It's like politics. I don't fuck a politics. Yeah, they did. Figure that shit, I don't fuck with it neither, right? In my stand-up, I don't say shit about that shit. But you got to see Kanye from the beginning as well.

Oh, yeah, yeah. He had a group called The Go Get Us. And they used to perform at this place called the Cotton Club, man. Everybody decides to be like, uh, man, that dude got some hell of five beats, boy. That was just it. You know, he only liked his rap. But he only liked the beats, yeah, he rhymed, but he wasn't like. Right.

He wasn't like that. Yeah, he wasn't great, like. that, but the music was like, y'all, this dude, this crazy with it, you know? And he just kept doing it, kept doing it. And I remember he did H to the iso. And then he did motherfucking beans, truth. The truth.

Every time I step in the boot. After that, motherfuckers had to reintroduce themselves to him. Yeah, it was like this. It was like, what up, yeah? And then it was like, Kanye West, how are you saying? Let me give you a great story Let's make sure we go back to that Let me give you a great story

I thought you had Mr. Lee working for you This is my guy right there We're on the group chat And I'm like yo I say You know, ask what is Dionne work I'm drinking And he goes

Excuse me He goes by the name of Dion Coles sir I said what the fuck did This thing has been crude about Dominican there I said I know you got good here now Did you think it turn to Dominican?

I'm like, I said you're out of money. Mr. Lee called out. Oh, shit. He told me to address you and sire. I said, damn. Jesus. Appreciate that. Thank you, Lee.

She got rid of real. Oh, man, I'm dead serious, too. Okay. Kanye, we were talking about him. Okay, Kanye, yeah, yeah, yeah. So how, how, we spoke about after he started wearing leather. Yeah. Because you're just a cargan, niggas.

Y'all blow up and start wearing leather. Yeah, we're going to wear some leather. Yeah, we're going to wear some leather with that cold weather out there, Jack. No, no, no, yeah, it was good people, man. It wasn't like I was around him, a super lot, but I used to be with my, I don't know if you know my guy, Cootie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my guy, so me and Cootie was like, you know, we still best friends, man.

And, you know, we used to hang out a lot, so I would be around, yay, when Cootie started documenting him and shit, you know, and then it just got to a point where, um, I just got to a point where, um, I just meet personally. I just felt like I remember one day we went to a party and when we walked in yeah he was like man let's go to the VIP area and it was like probably about 15 of us and we went to the VIP area

and we was chilling and he was like this shit dead up here let's go downstairs with action at so we all went downstairs with action at then he was like these nicks keep fucking with me come on let's go back upstairs to the VIP and then we went all back to the VIP

and then he was like damn ain't no holes up there let's go down the stairs and shit so we brought up When we went back down there, I was like, I ain't going back up, I ain't going up. And them niggas went up, and I just stayed down there. I was like, I ain't about to keep following you around, a nigga like that. I think that was the end of my hanging.

No, but in retrospect, other than R. Kelly, Ye really had no other example to actually look at, right? Because who else blew up from Chicago? Well, common. I mean, what I meant is like the global artist. Well, all they can, like, you know, to be real with you, everybody looked at common. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you.

The rich Russians falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad oligarch season two. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious

deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Ologarck on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome fellow seekers of the dark. I'm Danny Trejo. Won't you join me in Nocturnal? Tales from the Shadows.

An anthology of modern-day horror stories inspired by the legends and lore of the legends and lore of Latin America. Take a trip from ghastly encounters with evil spirits to bone chilling brushes with supernatural creatures and experience the horrors to have

haunted Latin America since the beginning of time. You should probably keep your lights on for Nocturnal Tales from the Shadows. Listen to Nocturnal, tales from Shadows as part of my Cultura Podcast Network, available on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm I'm Ida Gomerga. And on our podcast, Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things, food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Oster Khan to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the Ostercon. And because we've got a very mi-casa is-su-casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the Gulf of Mexico.

No, the America. No, the Gulf of Mexico, continue to be forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico. Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the

IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Common was the motherfucker. I mean, who's the dude that was doing it. If you did a song with Common and you was like, Oh. So I'm quite sure Ye was excited to rock with Common, you know what I mean? Because it was juice, common, a twister. No idea as far as the producer. Do or Die, you know.

Yeah, it was a lot of, a lot of great West Side emcees that was getting down. You know, a psychodrama and Buck and all them. They was all getting it in. So, Ye was like, he did a song called A Higher with Do or Die and Them, you know what I mean? I mean, because he wanted to work with them, whatever. But, yeah, it was like, it was like we, you want to work with Chicago artists only at first. Shout out the Traxter. Like, it was all these people that wanted to work together.

Once you work with them, then you start really kind of thinking about everybody else in the world, you know, especially if it blew and they did. And so shit, Kay, yay left, comment left. When everybody started leaving, it's the city kind of like kind of dwindle down. Really? The brat left. Everybody left. Yeah.

Shana was still there. She's still rocking. Shout out to Shana. But, yeah, it was, it was, it was, yeah, the city got kind of, kind of, kind of bland or whatever. But when Yee got with rock, with the rock, man. And then he came home, it was cold. I always loved that. College dropout?

Shit, that motherfucker was, they was playing that shit. It was funerals. Weddings, elevators. Like, that shit was a hang where, got that. I don't have it. Straight up, yo, it was crazy. So, I don't know if you know, but Ye been telling me for years

that he tried to name Northwest Noriega. Really? Get out, did he? Do you believe it? I did not. but then he kept saying it he said it on this show twice

he said it on the breakfast club and then but still like it was no confirmation so I go to Virgil Abelos pass what is it called when you when you pass away and they they did

not Passover that's the Jewish a funeral no no no it's something up past a vigil like yeah they was Louis Vuitton was sending him off so I see Kim Kardashian that shit and I see North West

who apparently she's named that to me right that's crazy so he comes to look at me he goes he's like Normie come here so I'm like I know I'm red in the face I'm black but I know I'm right

I can feel my face turning red like oh shit like why am I about to say something Northwest and Kim Kardashian like what am I belong in and she goes to her he goes this is who I named you after to Northwest. She looked at me like,

he ain't shit. My dude, I took it. I was like, I ain't saying shit, man. Like, who am I doing? I'm going to be rumbling? Like, I'm just glad. But then,

Kim looked at me, and she looked at me with the look of death, right? Like, you got to remember, this is right out of that left car and you just go crazy, right? So she's looking at me like, you are not off the hook with me.

Right, wow. So I never got this, to hear this story recently she goes online and she says on a podcast and she says yes Kanye wanted to name him

Noriega By the way Kanye that is one of the best compliments I've ever got naming him Noriega is too crazy Norway I would have been

all end like I was a godfather and everything look at me voluntary to be a godfather and you can't anybody need nothing I ain't go to lie

I can take a dress I'm going to take a trick It's about that time It's about that time Huh? It's based on Her mom Pause

Let's Look You know how You know you got The baby You know Hold on Hold on

You know You know The family Denies the baby This is the baby That denies the family We step We step children

But it doesn't matter But yo Yate That's one of the biggest Carlinus I ever got And another

I want to make this clear and get back to the interview. I will never forget what 50 sitting there for me. When he came to see us that day, 50Cent, jumped out the car. He had his security with him, and he turned to and he looked at his security and said, chill, I'm with Norvie. I'm okay. That was for a gangster rapper to do that for me. That is a big, big compliment.

I thought about that the other day. I was just sleeping in my bed. And I was like, that was so hard. We were out here. We were out here. I mean, out here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I'm saying that's when he came to the show.

Yes, yes, yes, so give it a thank you, good. Jack Dillon said he's five minutes away. So, okay, okay. No. So your mom's birthday is October 11th? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, just passed not too long ago, yeah.

That's crazy. Yeah, mama, she passed away about four years ago. Oh, wow. God bless. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Yeah, it was still dealing with that, you know, dealing with, you know, her passion and, you know, trying to go through life. Right.

You know, anybody that ever lost somebody, you already know how it is, especially a mom. A mom, of course. Especially being the only child, too. Yeah, and you're your only child? Yeah. Oh, you spoiled like a motherfucker. I was.

I wasn't, you know what it was? We never had shit. We were poor as far. I put our food on a window seal because we had refrigerator, shit like that. Oh, it's cold in Chicago. Your windows, refrigerators. Yeah, you keep your food on the refrigerator, window ledge or whatever.

But I didn't know we didn't, I didn't know we didn't have shit. You know what I mean? Because it was just so much love. And, you know, I ain't know that. And not until, you know, later on when I got older and started getting off into girls and shit like that, then I was like, oh, we poor. You know, I didn't know that, you know.

They're like, what's up with your shoes? So I'm like, nothing. What's what you mean? What's wrong? So when they stopped doing that, I was like, damn, but still, not she worked hard and tried to make it happen or whatever. But, yeah, dealing with that guy's crazy. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out for mom. That's your boy came through the butt, finally? Okay, all right. That's a hell of a bag. Okay, because last time you smoked a blood was with Paul McCartney? Yeah. That's the last time.

I'm going to try to outdo war at some point. I'm going to let you know. I'm going to pass your blood at some point. I'm going to try to have that next one. I took a too much for you know what I'm saying? That's a legendary story, though. Paul McCartney, he came. Let's get to that later.

Oh, yeah. Let's get to that later. Let's talk about this special. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, especially was on Netflix. But we were watching a bootleg version on YouTube this now. I just want to throw that out there. So how does that work?

Because like back in the days, When bootlegs used to happen, we used to have to go to the Africans, we just have to beat them up and ask them, where did they get it from? They send us to the Canal Street and it's a Chinese nigga that running the Canal Street. Like, I thought it was Africans. And then the Chinese people said you did nothing. This is, it's fucked up. In 2025, how do you approach something like that? Because, you know, I imagine Netflix did a lucrative deal with you.

I did now. If I don't have Netflix, I can go on YouTube and enjoy this special that you did just for Netflix. How do you navigate towards it? Well, especially been out probably a year and some change and whatever. So, yeah, yeah, it came out. So I think people have figured it out where they can put stuff on YouTube or whatever.

But when they drop, like, you can't do that then. You know what I mean? So, like, yeah, you have to, you force to watch it on Netflix. It's no recording it or nothing like that unless you playing your TV and you recording it like that. Oh, yeah, yeah.

And that's not going to affect your deal because your deal is Netflix. If someone bootlegs, it's probably better for you. Yeah, I mean, that's my question is, like, if your numbers do good on YouTube, Netflix come back to you and say, you know, look what we did on YouTube or. Well, no, no, no, because they look at how they look when they drop. They're not going to be happy. Yeah, they want you to come to Netflix.

They're not looking at YouTube, like what you're doing. And what's fucked up about Netflix is Netflix never give you your numbers. Yeah, they don't give you your numbers. Oh, they will? Yeah. You just got, you got to, like, you know, you got to know somebody. Okay. I don't know nobody.

No, you just, yeah, I think you just got to go through certain people and they'll give you your numbers if you really ask for. Because I, I noticed, like, they'll say like one, two, three, four, five, but they won't have no numbers under that one, two, three, four, five. So you don't know what indicates how did that become number one, two, three, four. I think like recent, in recent years they start, like, if you asked them for, then, you know, somebody will work hard to get it for you. And as a comedian, is that the end-all, be-all?

as of right now is to have a special on Netflix? I mean, it's like, it's something. Remember back in the days it used to be HBO or showtash. Oh, yeah, yeah. On Comedy Central, all of that. But, yeah, you want that. That is a goal for a lot of comedians to have a special on Netflix, absolutely,

because it's like the reach is so crazy. You drop a special on there, and if it's funny, you're selling out theaters the next day. You know what I mean? Yeah, so there's definitely a goal for, like, a lot of comics to reach or whatever. Okay. Yeah.

Go fucking Jack Thriller. Come on, hey, hey. Come sit down, Jack Thriller. The Dalton Passy. Oh, shit. You went real deep. Who did you? You're going to lie.

You know, man, that nigg used to beat everybody ass in my neighborhood, you know, this is Sean House dog. He'll be standing around with a group of niggins. Sean to just walk up, everybody would be like, oh, shit. I'm Sean. And he'll be like, yeah, he was the real D-Bow. And he'll just stand around, look at everybody. And he'll just choose who to slap shit out of shit.

Yeah, he'll just be like, yeah. West Chicago? No, no, it was like South suburbs of Chicago. Slaps shit out of you, dog, and just be like, man, give me some money. I'd be, yeah, I would be like, soon as he walked up, I'd be like, damn, I got to go. And I'll leave the shit. But I knew that that was happening, dog. But yeah, Sean fucking house.

Yeah, D. Ray told me about that. Oh, D-ray told you. He said it was your childhood. D-ray ass. And you were D-Wing in so much trouble? Yeah, yeah. I like damn near Ray's D-ray, man. Yeah, he used to live next door to one of my best friends, Chris.

And, uh, man, Chris used to, like, always look out for him. Because D-ray Mama was, like, like, like, really bad, like in drugs and shit. So D-Ray's insane. And for D-Way, kind of like a little unsafe because he's like, he's like, unsafe, skin and green eyes. Unsafe. That's the unsafe version of light skin. He's like a DJ envy on side.

Like, yeah, that's the unsafe light skin and green eyes. Like, he had to have bullies. Like, he had to have bullies. Like, he had to have bullies. So we looked out for him like a lot and shit, you know. And so, yeah, and then he started doing stand-up, you know. It was like, man, he took off, man. So it was good.

Yeah, shout out to D and shit. So let me ask you, right? I've asked this to multiple comedians and I always compare it to the rap game right this is chicken chitlin circuit excuse me uh in the in the comedy world and then well rap we have like it's called underground um right i guess i guess we might think that we're a little bit underground no it's a little bit more sophisticated but it's the same thing right the difference is when i started to do research of like how comedians come up

Like you said earlier, you said you went to see the band, and the band only had 1,200 people there, right? Yeah, Morris Day. Morris Day. All right, that's a big international band. But a lot of us coming up in hip-hop, we'll have a little thing, but we'll still get a $1,500 or $2,500, $3,000. What I've noticed in the Chittling Circuit was a lot of people

were getting $75, $150, that's something that rap don't. go through that not that much like not not that bad not in that type of way how does a person go from getting a hundred and fifty dollars to a hundred and fifty thousand a night God let me tell you

let me tell you let me tell you let me tell you we went yeah you look at his eye Oh what's that It's a diamond glass that little duval about this for me man You know when he had his accident

I was taking care of him I used to have to wipe his ass and you know what I'm saying I'll feed him I had to help them get back to normal and everything. So you don't want to do something for me and get me in new eye. You already got one. That's crazy. Okay, yeah, that's dope.

Let's make some noise with eye? Yeah. My few minutes. I was on here and the, you're about to shoot some of that out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's wild. I'm waiting on to get a robocop out for this one right here. No, no, no.

No, no, really. Just, no, just one. Yeah, just one. Okay, that's good. That's enough. Yeah, that's tough. What was I talking about? What was we talking about?

I was that doing it. They used to have this tour called the creative tour. You go from New York, right? And you go all the way down, state to state, state to state, all the way down to Miami, and then back over to Dallas, then up to Memphis. Every night you're driving from a city to city. getting $200, $200, $250, $300. And it's a bunch of comics together?

It's like two, two comics, and y'all ride together, y'all rent a car and just do that shit. And everybody had to do that. It was crazy, dog, and we didn't get to make no money. But you felt like you had to do it because everybody big was doing it. The rap game, we owe comedians on polity. On behalf of the whole rap game, I'm just being honest with you. We thought we had it the worst. Well, no, don't say it because the promo runs is similar.

You don't get paid. Promo runs is worse, but I give you this. I will give you this. Promo runs builds a relationship. If you want to live in this game and have relationships and for a 20-year span, that promo run is actually... Well, that's their promo run, basically. No, because they're not on a record label.

So the difference between that is they're doing that for their cells, as opposed to us. We're doing this for a record label in hopes of we're going to be in longevity business for 10 years or more, and we're going to have great relationships with this radio stations that we just came and looked out from us. I mean, still entertainers not getting paid. Still the same thing. Oh, that one.

Yes. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. We can understand why, but still the same thing. No, ain't no per die of them. Wait, look, I'm drinking this diet drink because of you, because you order this. You don't know what? You brought up not getting paid.

And when I was talking to Michael Blackson. Uh-huh. Y'all get a four-six and out of Mike. Yeah. You, DL's. Citry entertainer. Y'all had a show in Chicago. And you know what I'm saying? The turnout wasn't

really good because the promotion was wrong or the promoter. Which way? When in Chicago? In Chicago. And then the promoter was trying to cut a deal with y'all. Nah. Like you cut in my break. But you was the only one wasn't answering the phone. You told him, hey, how did my age? No, I remember something like that.

But, nah, it ended up working out at the end of the day. It all worked out. But I don't know what Mike deal was. us, but mine worked out. Oh, yeah, you got all your money. Mine worked out. You know, that's a great question, because for us, when I say us, I'm saying rappers, right?

We have a reputation that supersedes us, right? Right? So they'll say, all right, cool, maybe I won't play with DMX money, but maybe I'll mess with Mokaloko's money, right? Maybe I won't mess with Norie money, but maybe I'll mess with Monsters money. All of y'all are known to be funny people. So how does the promoter choose who to mess with or short and who not to?

Man, they just have to like figure it out. I always got my money, man, because this is what I used to do to promoters back in the day before I had like representation. Somebody will call me up and be like, hey man, I want you to do a show down to Louisville and I'd be like this. Who is this? And they'll be like, Scott, I'll be like, nah, I heard about you. I'm good.

And then they'll be like, what? And I'd be like, yeah, I heard you ain't paying motherfuckers and all that. And I'm not, I'm not doing that. They always do this. Who told you that shit? And I'd be like, everybody told me. Like, I ain't coming down. And he'd be like, no, fuck that.

No, that's my reputation. You know what? You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to throw you an extra thousand. We're going to pick you up, put you in the feet. Find this old cell So I can show you who I am Because that ain't who I am

And I'm like All right man Let's see And they always Go above and beyond When nobody Never even said that shit That's a good way

Let me get one of those blunts, Borough Speaking on one of those blunts Paul McCartney Yeah Yeah We're getting to a Yeah Yeah, we was getting to you earlier.

Paul is one of the realest. And you bombed, too. Yeah, I bombed tremendously. Yes, he laughed the whole time. He laughed at the bombing? Yeah, he came upstairs. He came upstairs and was like, hey, man, I came here to see you. I saw your name on the marquee, and I think you're funny.

Yeah, I was on my, coming home from rehearsal. I got a world tour coming up, and so I just want to come in and come kick ahead. And I was like, what? I'm looking at them like, what? And he was like, yeah, and he reached in his pocket, put out this fat-ass joint. He was like, you don't mind, dude. And there's a joint, not a blunt.

Yeah, it was a fat joint. Okay. Like, slew or like, snoot? Yeah, okay. Was it sour? No, it was loud, yo. He lit that motherfucker and he was just like, yeah, man. So how long you've been doing stand-up?

And I was telling him. And then I was like, hey, man, let me ask you a question. He was like, yeah, I was like, what was up with you and Michael Jackson, man? He was all cool. He was like, yeah, we was. I hate he died, and we didn't, we didn't speak. Yeah, he was like, but yeah, he fucked me over, man.

I think Mike would have fucked him up, though, too. Yeah, no, no one of one. Like, I heard some shit about Mike. Yeah, no, but he, he told Mike, money is in publishing. And Mike was like, yo, I'm about your publishing. And he was like, yeah, all right, whatever. He was on ass it. And Mike, he didn't realize he told Mike everything, yeah.

Yeah, Mike bought his publishing. Then this was the part that I really didn't know. he said, I asked Mike, but since he bought my publishing, give me 5%. Yeah, give me a bump. And Mike was like, nah. He was like, no, this business. And he was like, what?

He was like, we didn't did hits together. Mike like, no, no. And we can give him the bump. And he said he stopped fucking with him after that. Bubble's knee goddamn fool, but. Did he stop fucking with Mike or did Mike stop fucking with him? I believe he stopped fucking. I believe he stopped fucking with Mike.

After somebody take your publishing, bro, I believe it's on you. I'm talking with Mike. Hold on, let me ask this. You think Paul had $47 million to buy his own publishing? No, he didn't make, he said they didn't make money like that. He said he wasn't making money like that on his records. He was like, they signed really fucked up deals. He's like, he makes his money on the road and shit like that or whatever.

He was like, it wasn't, he said he was actually looking for a bump because they didn't make money. He was like, I got to split money with three different other guys. And you got to remember, too, that catalog didn't start making. money till years later. That's the reason why they always say that it was a problem because what Mike is because Sony wanted that publishing back.

It was all on the Sony. So this is some deep shit that I don't want to keep continuing. Because Mike was in, a gangster worst world and me. But you know what? I think Mike really didn't like white people like that because he gave Little Richard back his publishing.

Little Richard, Little Richard, baby Lou. Bap, Bap, Bap, Bap, Bajoo, Bajoo, Bajoole? Wasn't there some Beefs? Oh, Roolet? Oh, Roolet. Man, everybody's going to be a little fruity. I ain't know how.

Everybody got a little crudy for, like, wait a minute. What's Trudy-Cruy? But wasn't there something that they did to him? Yeah. Wasn't there something that they did to him? Fuck Mike, bitch. That's what I thought there was some deeper. The girls' might.

They did him dirty somehow, or they said some slick, and then he bought him. He said some. shit. I heard there was some reason why he did that. Mike was getting his pet tiger. And he had Paul McCartney says to shit. He said, all right. I'm, I'm like, I don't know.

Like, like, don't know. I never heard that. Yeah. My name is all up. Mike in the Guinness Book of World Records for philanthropy. So, you know, he had to be some shit if he ain't want to give a homeboy a bump. He was giving a couple of motherfuckers bunk. I don't know.

He just simply said that. Paul McCartney did give Mike a bunk at the club. love one night. I like what you did. Mike, remember then and said it. You got to share that,

you didn't that's here's your name for me. Mike wouldn't even drink Pepsi. You met Mike? No, I never met Mike. You met Prince. No, no, I met Prince.

You went to Prince Clave or some shit. Yeah, I met the Prince. He came to Warner Brothers' lot when I used to write for Conan O'Brien. He came to the lot next door. I like how he just said that and so, you know, when I used to write for Conan.

Everybody in here immediately started counting his checks. Like, oh, shit, this year was right in for the white boy. Let's go, man. Let's go. No, no, no. George Lopez studio was right next door to us. And Prince and George was like this. Really?

Yeah. And, man, they was like this, dog. Prince came and did his show. I remember. And then she-ed. I've seen that. Prince did like five shows at the form and charged only. like $20?

You remember that? Like years ago. Yeah. Prince was in the room. We was there. He was, uh, what's that? Azario, what's her name? The girl?

Yeah. Dawson. Rosario and Dawson. Yeah. She was there with him and, man, he was just chilling. Like, cooling, dog. But that month, he got an aura on his ass, dog. Who do you think of winning the fight?

You are Prince? Who would I think? Yeah. I think I would. Okay. I wanted to see Prince get old, though. Yeah, me too. Just wanted to see him, like, in a cardigan and some flats and shit, just changing the temperature on the wall.

I heard you say you don't date girls, because if you give them a joke, like, I'm going to get that shit wetter than Lake Minnetonka. If they don't get the joke, if they don't get the joke, you're like, you're out of my knee. I said that to a girl a time. I was like, yeah, get you wait in, whether than Lake Men of Tonka. She's like, what? I was like, you don't know what that is from? I know. I was like, you haven't seen Purple Rain?

She was like, nah, I was like, I instantly got on my phone, niggins. Call the Uber. Call her Uber. So what's the youngest good woman that you will date, and what's the one of what you then and now? I don't know, dog. I ain't sure, but I know it ain't going to be younger than like 35 or something like that. I mean, I don't know.

I don't know. It just all depends on how the woman is and shit. You know, if she's cool and she act mature, like I like older women, man, all day long. You know what I mean? I like a older motherfucker. You said women can't get pregnant. You're like, that's all up in there,

man, man, you know. That ain't mine. That's crazy. Let me ask you something. How do y'all feel about, like, uh,

fake tities people you know about people not knowing who old school people are or not acknowledging them you remember give you a better example i'm sorry you didn't give me an example but i'm gonna feel like let me imagine that example did i say so now let me let me let me let me let me relate this to hip hop now i um i don't know how this goes in the comedian world but in hip hop I find it very disrespectful for a kid to come up 18 years old, 21 years old make this living and they're making millions of dollars and then you ask them who's Biggie Smalls

and they can't tell you. But then they got on Michael Jordan sneakers. Like how did you know who Michael Jordan is? You're not making a dollar off the NBA. You're not going to Yukon. You're not going to Syracuse. You're going at a hot university. And the first thing you can't do

is learn who the fuck Too Short is. You can't learn who the fuck Ice Cube is. You can't learn who the fuck. You can't know what the fuck spice one is That shit Bothers me Yeah And then it's crazy

And I'm the problem Yeah Because my kids don't listen to that shit neither They listen into Little Little half a damn Yeah I always say this on the show

It's not it's not It's not a problem that you don't know Is if they in a certain field If you're a hip hop head Or you a comedian It's that they don't want to know Like the young generation doesn't want to know

They don't want to know about anything They just like, I'm like to my lady These young comedians They need to want to know, you know what I'm saying? They're supposed to be naming Richard Pryor. They're supposed to be naming Red Fox. You should be looking back at what inspired. Like what we used to call digging in the craze.

You want to know where'd that sample come from? You didn't know it. But you went and Doug in the craze for it. And you're respected. Right. My options was limited, though. You know what I'm saying? When we're growing up and whatnot, there is no Instagram

or there is no Google and whatnot. So you, everything that is classic and it was good. They should know more now because of everything is instant. I think, I mean, it's just, I mean, they said they should. They got Google and they got all that shit or whatever.

I think you said it before. You said this smartphone is stupid as shit. Yeah, it is. The stupidest shit. The smartphone is stupidest shit. No, but I remember this, this network, this network hired this really big, I don't want to say motherfuckers' names.

Hired this really big streamer, right? The biggest streamer out there, right? Oh, shit. So they hired this person to come to their war shows and do back. scene shit, right? And this motherfucker was like, yo, like people was like, he was going

up to people like, I don't know who that is. Yeah, Waleigh, he ain't know who the hell Waite is. I don't know what that is. And his excuse was don't blame me because I'm young. And that was so disrespectful to me. Because I met... Waile took it personally.

You see him? I met him. While A went the African dance. Look, I was backstage and I met and I met, and I met, I met dude one time backstage. And he walked backstage and I was like, hey, what up, man, he was like this.

And he walked off, and he was with my, I like that dude, the blonde hair. Drewski, he was with Drusky. Yeah, Druski's looking at me and was like this. What's up, OG? How you doing, man? I appreciate you, man. I love everything you do. Then he went to him and was like, man,

you know, OG, he's funny as hell, you know? And he was like this. And just walked off and shit. And I was like this. That's cool. That's cool. I'm cool with that. I'm good with that.

You don't know why I'm just all good, right? But when you go on the record and say When they're trying to go with this baby face And this is this person and that person You're on the red carpet with baby face But they asked him And he was like this I don't know these people

I'm young Don't blame me because I'm young That was terrible to do And to hire him to be your representation Out of an award show That you got icons and you got younger people I think it's like disrespected It couldn't even, and it's not even his fault

It's the people who hired them really But you think he's like Yeah he's the most of hosting the hip hop awards As opposed to the BT award It's still icons there too though It's just how you approach it But it's more younger I get it but maybe they should have done that

But my thing is don't put a person in position That's going to diss icons Just because you young and you don't know about them And you ain't look them up or whatever Then you shouldn't be in that position You should have somebody there that's going to acknowledge All the older people Even if you don't know them

Like just, man, just know that they got there, they had a whole career. They had a whole career before you was even born, you know what I mean, and just respect them. And that's, I'm not trying to beef and shit. I'm just going, if you're going to be in that position, do your research about when you see icons and give them love when you see them, period. That's all I'm saying. So something we hold the younger people to a certain standard when they come in, like, you know, I don't even front. I'll be seeing a lot of the little interviews on certain morning shows and different platforms. And, you know, it'd be a little bit too much respect for a lot of the so-called new people that's popping.

And they're not, like a lot of the older generation ain't telling them exactly what it is and how they really feel about what they're doing in the craft. But they're following people because of how famous they are. I mean, Nikki said that. Nikki said, motherfuckers ain't famed. I mean, no motherfuckers ain't talented no more. famous and shit and so you got these people that really don't know too much and nothing you know what i mean that that's out here i'm not trying to dis her or nothing like that but they did you see that video or a lotto in the at the jewelry store and they asked her name the 45th and the 47th president

and if you could do that we'll take some money off your jewelry wow she was like this the 45th and 47 Wow. You said the 45th to 47's right. 45th and 40, and I'm sitting there going, wow. But people follow her and be like she's the truth, she's this and that and the third. And it's like, man, if you're going to be in the public, I think it should be on you to be knowledgeable of anything if somebody asks you. You know what I mean? Or at least your thing.

Yeah. That's the least. The 25th and 47th president is Trump. That's right. Trump is 47. Huh? Or both, they both, okay. Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah, I only ask a trick question to my back. He jumps. I'm sitting there thinking about my mom and Trump. I'm fucking out. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, I'm going to lie on you. No, no, no. No, girl.

Girl, you ain't anybody to know, girl. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize that. You're right. You're right. No, I think in 46 and 47. I think in 46 and 407. I'm not realized you was 45 or 14.

You skipped. You skipped. Yeah. She might have thought it was a trick question, too. No, no, no, no, but, but, shout out to Lado. I'm just saying, like, when you look up to these people that are new in the game and you don't look up to your older people that's doing the game and you put all your faith and everything in these younger people that's coming up

thinking that everybody know everything, they ain't lived enough or they haven't experienced enough or studied enough in order to be held to that standard that you believe in them at. All I'm saying is that's a lot. of older cats out here that's been doing it i'm gonna talk about even hip hop you know what i mean like l and everybody that you can learn a lot from these cats know a lot you know and they have ventured off into other endeavors in order for them to have knowledge of self and knowledge of culture and business and everything you know what i mean so i just want young people to really pay attention and do your

studies on who you consider the messiah out here and and don't forget those that are really are the Messiah out here. Plus, aging isn't exclusive to older people. Everybody's going to age. Everybody's going to age. The goal rules applies here. Treat others how you want to be treated because you will be in that position. Exactly. And the more you live, the more you go through, right?

So therefore, you're going to have a little bit more experience than before, right? So that's how it is. And I want young people to understand that. I even have to tell my son that sometime. I'm like, I'm not this age for no reason. You know what people didn't make it to this age? You know what I mean?

Like, it's a reason why I'm here. You know what I mean? And so I want people to understand that when they come to your elders or whatever. Just get them love, man, and listen to them. At least listen to them. If they're going to know something. Speaking of that. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you.

We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Olegac on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly. Ambert, host of Heidi World the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off

a financial cliff in the 2000s. Listen to Geno World on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm I Belongoria, and I'm Mytego, Mr. Juan.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Ostercon, to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the Ostercon.

No, the American. The Gulf of Mexico, continue to be so forever and ever, it blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform,

And I say, oh, shit. Now, now, I want to up this question. Is it just black people who love plastic bags? Or is it anybody that's ever experienced anything hood that like plastic bags? I only speak from the black experience. If anybody else got it going on, And okay, but I know the black houses that I've been to, everybody got a drawer, pantry, full of the motherfuckers.

I think it's, yeah, it might be universal. But it might be, yeah, it might be universal name. And the one thing that you didn't say, you didn't say a to go bag. No, no, no, no, no, just plastic. I mean, it could be it to go back or whatever, but, yeah. I'm a doggy bag there. You can use it from everything. And it's a bunch of plastic bags and one plastic bag and they pull one out of the dog.

All of them, yeah, I get mad at my own. I get mad at my own. What the fuck, man. Yeah. Yeah, trash bag. for everything. Like, for real. No, definitely. Like, you can use them for shower caps.

Yes. Umbrellas. Umbrellas. Backpacks. You can put your chicken in there. Shake it out. Take it up. Yeah, like, yeah. It's all purpose. Yeah, they don't throw away the bags.

If you're a vegan, you can look at it. Yeah. You say, if you're a vegan, you can look at it. Yeah. You know, you're on Chicago, man. So you know people from Chicago, you automatically assume they know everybody in Chicago. It's like that. You ever bump into R. Kelly, you got to be cool R. Kelly's story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, shit, yeah, yeah. He's speaking and everything with R. Yeah. I'm just playing. I just play. I was going to be there for that story, too. Kales is the truth, man.

I mean, like, you know, whatever happened that happened, whatever. I just, I feel like this. When it comes to music, yeah. Let me break this to you real quick. I think when it come to music, music is bookmarks in life, right? It's bookmarks. Search a song, come on, you know where you was at, what you was doing, all of that, right? And so it's a bookmark in your life, right?

You also have these memories when these songs come out. Like, you make these memories or whatever, right? So when you hear these songs, these memories come back. When people make music, that music is no longer theirs. It becomes the people. That's right. You're correct. That's why when a person hears a song, they go, oh, that's my song. Oh, that's my jam.

That's my, it becomes yours. It's like, like if an artist draws a painting and put it on the wall, he can't come back later to your house and be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me change my painting. It's no longer his. It's my painting. I can do whatever I want. That's how music is, you know what I mean? And so when people are like, don't be playing people's music because whatever they've done, that's really taking away.

the bookmark that you made in life. And it's your music. It's no longer their music. So why stop playing it? You know what I mean? Because you're taking away your memories. You're taking away your bookmarks because it's no longer theirs. It's not their music.

You know what I mean? If you want to stop their money coming in, then so be it. But on your own time or whatever or whatever part of you, I think you should play whatever you want to play. Separate the art from the person. When you look at shows like, Benny Hill, and you look at San Bernard's son, and you look at

the Jeffers, you look at what's the shit, Archie Bunker. Like, when you look back at that shit, I sit back and I say, I love the this. Yeah. I say, this ain't gonna fly now. Yeah. Why can I separate? Like, that's what it was

back then. Like, they got this whole blog thing about, like, 80s babies. Or, like, people, like, you know, kids never wore our seatbelt. That's the reason why, like, Like, why can't it be like that? Yeah. No, it's just, it's, the times change, you know what I mean?

It's just like, it's like the more people, you know, stand up for different things that bother them. And now it's just certain words you can't say, things you can't do. It's just, and it's only going to get worse. And shit, more than that, freedom of speech is like, that is like, I think that's like almost. a thing of the past. Yeah.

Yeah. You can't even say what you really want to say now. So you're scared of drink. Yeah. Come on. Salute. Salute to this. Oh, what's this?

That's that vodka got. Hey, yeah, there goes. Oh, you ain't got shit. But Dion, excuse me, Mr. Dion Cole. I've got to address. Proper light. Our show was about giving people their flowers. Yes.

What you have done for the game of comedy, which you have done for the, industry which you have done you know continuing to be original continuing to be funny continuing to make you know what I mean our classic material and continue we wanted to tell you how much the game you know that you mean to the game to us and and to the game period and we want to give you our flowers face-to-face man a man with your flowers why you can smell them your thoughts why you could tell them this man man thank you all man it's better than a grandman me because it comes from your people.

I want to, I want to, damn, that's love. I want to address something, too, because I've always understood the importance of comedic content, right? Mm-hmm. But something that I appreciated more. than ever, ever, ever, during COVID, right? I came outside, but I tried to comply as much as I can.

But I'm Puerto Rican and black. So I'm conflicted. I got to come outside play handball or basketball. One of the up, right? But during COVID, I realized, I already knew how important it is to laugh, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Sad oligarch season two. Since we left you in 2023 after season one,

many politically motivated Russia millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find.

Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Olegac on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome, fellow seekers of the dark.

I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi World The Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that dude? degrading. That's us taking hold of our life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman.

I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff. the 2000s. Listen to Geno World on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But during COVID, I realized how important it is to laugh during disaster. Yeah.

Even during, it's like something that's like, you know, something really, really wrong in life. Mm-hmm. Like I at first couldn't take 9-11 jokes, right? Because I'm from New York City. Yeah. And, you know, what did they say, too soon? Yeah, yeah.

It was like, too soon. Like, whoa. You know, New York is, we wait. Our fucking middle name is too soon. Yeah. It's like, whoa. Yeah. But then COVID was something different, right?

Because 9-11 was just really us who got infected, like New York City. But then COVID was the world. Right? And it was that 30 minutes or that 10 minutes or that 12 minutes that I just would go online. And comedians would just go be online and just serving that material. Yeah. And it meant the world to me. Because whatever comedian I was watching, whoever it be, at that moment, I felt like they was talking to me.

Yeah. Like, not the world. Like, I felt like they were zeroing in on me at home, eating my goddamn rotisserie chicken and broccoli trying to be healthy. But still trying to have fun and listen to the comedian. That's when I realized. I always knew how important comics. word. But it made me feel like the world can exist.

Yeah. Without funny or without comments. How does you take that time? It was very unsure, very unsure because you're talking to people who make they living doing shows. Interactive. Yeah, yeah, doing shows. Traveling, doing shows and stuff.

A lot of comedians, they don't. got health care, they don't have dental, they only got none of that. They ain't got that. So therefore, to shut that down for like years, year or two, that was devastating. When you said, shut that down in your mom, I'm touring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, a lot of comics had to, I had to help out a few comics. You know what I mean? And other comics was helping out other comics because when nobody making no money, it was, there was like a really tripped out time, you know what I mean? But a lot was invented. too, but not, I still don't think it's worth it, but you know, it still was like you got to find

a beauty in that, you know what I mean? I learned how to DJ during that time. I started DJing and playing, I only played like house music and disco music, but I learned and that led to me making songs and traveling and playing music. You know, I play out here, I play in New York a lot with Tasha Diggs and I play in Chicago Terry Hunter and L.A. And a chosen few. KG Superstar and yeah, like, yeah,

the Chosen Few Picnics. So it went from just playing records to actually being on these stages and stuff. Yeah, a whole other career for me. And you did a nap contest too. With Rip Michaels won. Oh, yeah. No, I did it with

Tony Roberts. I did one with Rip Michaels too, though. Shout out to Rip, oh, silly ass. Tony Roberts to, um. Tony Rob's a comedian, yeah. Oh, okay. You did one online going to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we had a good time.

Shout out to Tony and shit. But, yeah, man, it was a really, really tripped out bizarre time, you know what I mean? But that platform is important, you know what I mean, for comics to have or whatever. I got this other thing that I haven't, it's about to launch. It's going to be on my YouTube page. If people can follow my YouTube page, Dionne Co. I got this thing called Funny Knowing You, and where I interview these comedians. You get to know them from their parents' meeting to where they are now.

But the twist is that every answer that they give is real, but it's a punchline, but it's real. So it's almost like they're doing a whole new hour about their lives that you ain't never even heard about. So these questions I asked them. I give them the questions ahead of time. But this shit is hilarious, dude. It's almost like they're doing a whole new hour stand-up about their life. Because each answer got to be funny. That's the requirement.

And I've already interviewed D.L. Uly, Cidney Haddish, Mike Gaps, Tashina Arnold, man, like a lot of people, D. Ray, Corey, like, I did Mr. Marcus, the porn star. That's a show. That's my dope. He just, he got mad excited. He got way too excited. Calm down, man. He said, that's the only community.

I don't know. He was like, hey. He was like, wow. I can see when I can see it. I want to watch that. No, no. Hey. No, but, yeah, but it's a very good platform.

And these platforms I need it for comics, man. And the point, the point I'm saying, it's all started from COVID. You know, even this, I think. No, no, no. I mean, before, but we survived. Yeah, we survived. We launched in 2016. Yeah, yeah.

For us, for us, for us. This is our shit, is, like, interacting with people. Like, Zoom didn't work for us because, like, you can't smell mom. You can't smell my mom. Like, I can't offend you. Like, you can't see that I'm really drinking vodka, like, straight. Like, you can't, like, like, so you got to be in. But even though we didn't like doing it, it was important for us to do those Zoom.

Continue, like, yeah. Yeah, and keep them up during that time. People needed it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was important. I came out here doing COVID. This one when we had Jater kids on him. Yeah, but I'm not going to lie to you.

That was the first one of the first Atlanta, listen Atlanta never closed No, we didn't Atlanta stayed up Atlanta stayed close for 12 minutes And they were like We ain't fucking with y'all

Yeah, I did not go I did not go down there, Jack I was there several times Oh yeah And I drove there too at that From here I drove there I love I love driving

Yeah, that's wild though Jack was definitely Oh yeah 100% I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick. Okay, cool. All right, so where you go to the bathroom? All right.

Because, um, the plastic bags. I ain't going to lie to you. That is a, that is a, uh, I'm 48 now. Get the fuck out of here. Wow, looking good. You look amazing. Okay, all right, cool. Thank you.

That's why I got you here. Big me up. Get me like, yes, man. Let's do it. But, but. I don't get a change. You did that. It's okay.

No, no, no, no. But, um. that's one of my requirements now is like I have to meet somebody and say how many plastic bags you think you got in your career? I think that to be the new requirement like when you meet somebody like and if they don't get it

then you got to judge that's a judgment right there what do you mean plastic bags like let's just stop this conversation you don't think this is going to work out and then it's flavors of the plastic bags too you got to remember it's yellow there's brown this white

Uh-huh I think that's it right I think it's only It's black Oh black black See I'm so black I don't even count the black Yeah

All right Shit And the brown Always seemed like Puerto Rican to me So you know I'm thinking someone Don't count that Okay

There's one White I said white The white one Bage I said beige That's Puerto Rican Okay

Okay Yellow I say yellow Okay That's Chinese That's right Okay Yeah

Like usually Usually be Chinese I don't know No It's oh yellow I'll see you how you try to coordinate it. Damn, you get some foul. Yeah, some foul, motherfucker.

Okay. Yeah, so that's a little more we can roll with. Placer and Bass. I'm going to start judging people. But let's talk about Average Joe, Joe, right? I heard that that was actually out on another platform prior to being on Netflix? BET. Yeah. BET, that's right. Yeah, so Average Joe

is a actual... It's a BET Plus show. It's original programmer for them. it came out on BT. BT Plus, is this shit with Nelly TipTrill?

No, no. That's not the same, right? That's not the same. It's the streaming. Oh, okay, okay, all. What's the Nelly Chip Trill shit? That was that. That's all I thought I'm doing.

I'm like, I'm like, okay, my bad, my bad. A good ain't even around. We need uncut back. We need uncut back. On the Nod network, just call it uncut. Fuck you. Somebody got offended. And Jackie Giacke and Eddie Giggs, Zien, that's all day.

All right, let's see. You guys sent it? Has? Yeah, it's there. Let me see. That's funny, though. What fuck is? Oh, there it is.

All right, so this is our drinking game. We're going to give you two choices. If you pick one, we're not drinking. But if you say both or neither, like, you don't want to answer the question. Then we all drink. We all take a shot or drink whatever you're drinking. Yeah, you take a sip. Whatever, it's fine.

But really isn't about coming up with stories of anything we talk about, like anything we mentioned. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. First one is Kevin Hart, Chris Rock. Uh, uh. Yeah. And it's any criteria to you. Yeah, to you.

I love Kevin's savviness and business and everything. thing. I actually work for him on the project and stuff. I think he's great. Phenomenal comic theaters, arenas. I get it. Rock has been around forever. Just legendary and all of that.

And so I will go with Rock just on his legendariness and how he is, you know what I mean? But I love Kevin, and Kevin is phenomenal. One of the greatest that ever did it, you know what I mean? But just they both are amazing. but I'm just going to go legendary status

rock Fair enough Richard Pryor or Red Fox Richard Pryor? Richard Pryor the only nigger that could say he slept with another nigger And none of us paid attention to it

We just We just let it off It's different It's just skin when it's Richard It's on his skin When it's Richard When it's Richard Coming up from the man who says

Booty Cat So everybody's going to be a booty cat, man. Every booty is a booty cat. I didn't realize, like, I was watching which and shit. I was like, this motherfucker was the bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was molestly when he was little, man. Yeah, he was raising in the warehouse.

Yeah, he was raising the whole house. That would happen. If you'm raised in the whole house, I think, I think. You know, I'm definitely going to see shit. I can imagine, right? That's hilarious. Eddie Murphy. Or Damon Wayne's.

Eddie Murphy. I love Damon. Shout to Damon. Damien's one of the goats. Eddie, though, all day long. I think, I think Damon would choose Eddie. Right.

That's how we... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're super underrated, man. Now, Damon's a beast. Always has been a bee. But is it Eddie who perfected the leather outfits? I'm going to tell you, when you see me on specials doing... I got leather pants on.

I wear leather pants and honor Eddie. Eddie. Every time that I, every time, every special you see me on, I got to pay a leather pants on and I do it in honor Eddie. You remember when you first met Eddie? Yo, yeah. When I met Eddie, dog, I'm going to tell you that shit. I'm going to tell you real quick, two times I met Eddie. The first time I met Eddie, I was walking to this party that they was having for Dreamgirls.

As I was walking through the door, Eddie was leaving. He was walking out. Dream girls were Beyonce in there? Yeah, yeah. He stopped at the door and he said something in the whole room. laughing and I was just standing like out the way but then I leaned into him and I was like

hey man you're gonna see me again dog and he just looked at me and said okay and just walked out cut to Netflix they have these parties every year for like anybody's like nominated for any kind of award they had these dinners right where they have

like all comedians not a lot of comedians it's probably like 20 comedians so it's not Netflix is not a joke it's not that Yes, Netflix is a joke and Netflix, right? Now, I might be about 50 comedians, right? And Eddie, we was there, and Eddie walked in that motherfucker, right? And I seen him, and I was like, oh, shit, they go, Eddie.

So I kind of put my head down, and I was chilling. But everybody was there, Dave, Kevin. I mean, anybody that's like anybody was in this motherfucker, right? And Eddie walked around, spoke to everybody. And then he walked right up to me and was like, hey, dog, I'm a fan, man. And I was like, dog, don't say that, dog. And he was like, no, for real. He was like, I am.

I said, really? He's like, yeah, man. He's like, man, keep doing your thing. I appreciate the way that you do and your style and everything. And at that moment, I told him, I said, man, whatever you need, dog. I don't care what it is. You want me to write? No, I ain't charging you nothing.

Just let me come rock with you. Let me show you what I can do, whatever you need. And he was like, all right, cool, thanks. And after that, man, that was, that was, that booth. my morale so I'm gonna let you know to all the legends man when you go so when you say some shit like that to anybody even like emcees and shit like your singers when the legend just you merely go on you appreciate somebody that would take that person's work ethic to a whole other pay of stuff one million percent no absolutely so any legends out there man definitely give people

they love man if you really if you really fuck with them whatever because I went on a whole other page after that. And especially people coming up as legends to show love to the legend that came before them. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I agree with you. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Hold up.

Before we keep going. And I actually, not to cut up real quick. And then after that, Cut 2, about two years later, I did a movie with him. Wow. Did a movie called You People. That was on Netflix. The Jewish guy.

Yeah. And I did a scene with him in there. Yeah. And I did a scene with him in there. Jonah Hill. John Hill. Yeah, it was Jonah Hill. Yep, and I did a scene in the movie with him.

He was dating the daughter, right? Yeah, I played the wedding planner in the movie. Yeah, I was like setting the wedding up for them. Yeah, with Lord London. Yeah, well, it all came full circle, you know. So, yeah, shout out to Eddie. Well, tell him about the standing in part. Who are Eddie?

Did Eddie stand in here? You do a movie with Eddie. Eddie do his coverage, and we did Eddie's coverage, and then they was turning on my coverage, right? And so we came back and sat down, and I'm, like, going over my lines and waiting to do the move. do the scene with him and this dude just sat down

and I was like, all right, you ready? And I'm like, where are there? And he's like, he ain't coming. I said, oh, so what you doing? He's like, I'm doing Eddie's part. I said, oh, okay. So I did my scene. Oh, so he does his scene without knowing.

Oh, no, Eddie's large. After Eddie coverage, he's gone. You don't see it anymore? Like his shot. No. When the camera turn on the other person, when the camera turn on the other person, If it's like over a shoulder or something, that ain't his shoulder. Eddie Chiller.

It's Eddie Murphy. But he's Eddie Murphy. Like, he's not about to standing in. Yeah. So it was an honor when we did you people to actually go back and forth with him in a scene. Because a lot of people don't be in a scene with him. You know what I mean? So it was great.

Shout out to the legend Eddie, man. Who would you say your inspirations, comic inspirations? Man, mine go all the way across the book. board. I mean, Eddie, definitely, Red Fox, Mabley, Ellen DeGeneres, Mitch Heffburn, George Garland. Like, man, my goal, I just like detail. I'm a detailed comic. Like, even with my comedy, it's more like observational humor. You know what I mean? It's not like I do a lot of topical stuff. Anything you see in my specials, I'm not really talking about too much that's going on at the moment. And I don't do political stuff, but it's very, you know,

very like everything can relate to those yeah that can relate to and very observational

type stuff or whatever so those people are those kind of comics you know what I mean and so I mix

it all in with the fearlessness of Richard Pryor and even Dave you know I've been on

tour with Dave a few times and just watching him every night just watching D get down D is probably you know

one of the messiers or the Messiah right now because he don't have no sponsorships he ain't got

nobody He's got an answer to. None. Yeah. He ain't got nobody answer to. So he can do things that other people can't do.

You know, and that's why he's important, you know, so. How did you feel about when Kat was going at when Dave was going at Kat for saying what he said on Shannon Sharp? You said when when Dave went at Kat?

Yeah, when he was like kind of clapping back. He felt like Cat was, you know, stepping on a lot of comments. I was there that night. We was at D-ray's room. Yeah, I was on stage with him. I think he was just giving his rendition, you know, of how he felt.

You know, he felt like, you know, we need to be working together. You know what I mean? Like, we're comics. Like, what are we out here doing? Acting like rappers. Yeah, like, act like rappers. It's crazy. And it's like, you know, we, we comics, you know what I mean?

And so he was just basically saying, like, if you had a problem, just call somebody, whatever, you know. But, you know, it just happened the way that it happened or whatever, you know. And I think the one thing that tripped me out of it. about that whole interview with Shannon Sharp was all this stuff Kat was talking about was old as fuck. Like, this shit been out there. Like, how did it blow up like that

on this interview? Like, I never really got that. But, because it was all old information. You know what I mean? So to see that happen, it blew my mind, you know, but it is what it is. But the cat's defense,

Kat really don't do interviews or really talk. Yeah, but he has. Okay, yeah. He has talked about that. How do you explain the whole Diddy thing then, you know, where he's like 20-24, you know, Diddy going down and Diddy went down in 2024? How do you, if it's all whole, how do you explain that conspiracy right then? How the fuck you mix Diddy with Matt Williams and shit?

It was on Shannon Sharp. It was on the Shannon Sharp interview. So what did he say? All about Kat talking about that. Yeah, he brought them up. Right, bro. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. That's his experience and shit, you know.

Like, I worked for him. did he for like three months he hosted the Billboard Awards and I wrote them me and a couple of other writers we wrote the monologue yeah so I wrote but I ain't see none of that shit

that everybody's talking about you've been around did you see any of that me neither I didn't see anything I didn't see nothing nothing at all so I mean it was all good you know

Yeah. That's his name? He looked like Mustafa. He looked like, I just looked like, I don't know. He pray a lot. He's like, I don't know who you pray to, but you know, he pray on. But then, but then I see you there, and I was like, it's either Old Spice fucked up. Well, they made the best decision in the world.

And I was saying, they made the best decision. But I, come on. Because we all from the hood, and we know that Old Spice is like, that's a staple, right? Yeah. Where is you at when you get the call? And did you hang up on the first call? Did you be like, man, shit the fuck up? No, no.

I'm the nigga from Old Spikes. Like Jackson. No, they hit me. Like I said, they were sitting up like, man, we, we've had a lot of guys with muscles and stuff. And there's like, we just want like a everyday next door, every day kind of guy. And they was like, you know. Did you take that as I'm the nigga not with muscles? Yeah.

I'm like, well, I guess I ain't got the muscles. No, but they were like, man, you would. doing, I mean, I ain't trying to like name drop or whatever. But they was like, you did all these like really quirky characters like on Blackish or Angie Tribeco, all the ones I was doing on Conan. And

they just was like, man, this would be a fit. So they flew me out to Porto. They flew me out there. They didn't use that shit. Yep. I shot all these weird commercials throwing rocks catching fish out the lake with my teeth. You know, sawing trees

with beavers and shit. It was like all kinds of stuff. And when I got back to the States, it's a guy named Omar that was writing for them. And he was like, yo, what you think about this campaign? And it was like, Manhattan, too. And I was just like,

yeah, that's interesting. He's like, we should try it. It's like, all right. So then we shout out these commercials. I bought my girl gabbed in. Shout out to Gabriott Dennis, whatever. And, yeah, we knocked it out.

we had no I did I was gonna blow up like that and then went crazy and after that we just bro you knew that she was gonna blow up no you don't never know those things you just you just go do some stuff you're both right no no no you know what you're both right you're both right you're both right come on think about it nor no no you don't know I agree with him too I agree with you because you know you know what that like this is you know for lack of a better turn I don't want to dis anybody who else had the position prior to you but it's two things one you can smell the street coming off of you I'm sorry

I don't mean that you can smell like regardless of you from the streets or not you can smell like you've been you had free lunch before right you know what I mean like you can and then

you could like what I mean you know the fuckas had free lunch god damn so you can see that but then you could see like Old Spice actually

did their due diligence and they seeked out a person that can resonate in a white neighborhood. Yeah. Good here. Yeah. Puerto Rican neighborhood. We don't know if you're Dominican or not. You know what I mean?

Puerto Rican, we don't know. We don't know. You were up in the air for a couple of years. You're saying you were up in the air. The way Mr. Lee to finish, you both? I'm like, what the fuck happened? Like, did you mix off? You can look, see?

See, shit started. We're going to spread the rumor. Don't even answer that. answer that. I'm going to answer that. But, um, that's, that's, that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's kind of crazy. Yeah, yeah, no, it's, uh, you can kind of see why it will blow up though, right?

Because, you know, you know, but you don't know, you don't know. You just do it and then you hope that it, that it's all like, because, you could compare it to. No, no, because the thing is, is that we, we did the commercials they were known for, which were very weird, corky. You know what you did in Portugal. Yeah. So, so, so you were, you were going on a limb with this. I was waiting on that to blow up.

So to come back and do... Oh, those came out too? No, they never came out. So to come back and they go, hey, we've got a man that skin too, and none of the corkiness is going on. And in your mind, you're like, this is better. Oh, wait a minute. No, I didn't know.

I was just going on, man, how are they going to take this? Right. Because we're not doing what they normally do. Right. So, yeah, I was worried. Like, oh, but then when it blew, I was like, oh, shit. Like, bam. I'm like, yeah.

I don't know. And it locked you in because you, it's, It's shifted there, the whole style. Man, yeah, it was crazy. So, man, shout out to, shout it. Can we come up? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Mm-mm. Oh, you was in the Yellow Springs? No, Hollywood, Florida, right here. He came to you. No, no, no. I got to see how a comedian perfect they're special. So one night

it was like dope but it was like all right but then the next night he delivered the same jokes with a different intensity and then on the third night it was like

I wish rappers could do that like you like let's suppose I can give you a rhyme and I can say that bar is not good it's over once I throw this shit out right right right right right but a comedian

you motherfuckers are cheating yeah you motherfuck In a good way, because what I mean, hold on, what I mean by that is you can test the product out, realize that that's not working, and change it prior to the actual product dropping. But here, but, but let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me hit you with this. You can do your song for the rest of your life, though. We can't do the same. That's the C-sword.

That's the C-Sword. You can't do that shit before. We can't do the same shit. Kill yourself. Yeah. Nigger die. I wish somebody could. I wish I could do a show and people in the audience and be like, do the water on the floor.

And I'd be like, all right, this one going out to you. Black people, if you ain't got water on your floor, I'm leaving. Everybody can't do that shit, dog. We can't do none of the shit that we do. Hey, you came up in, like, the peppermint lounge. Shit, I got booed out that motherfucker so many times. I mean, one time I went in there, I was like, hey, um, they was like, boo. I was like, what?

Anytime I get booed, I leave on a whole other name and shit. I was like, I'm Turner. Good night, that's like, Turner. Turner sucks. All right there, I was like, you son, Turner. I was sitting at the bar with a drink, but fuck you, tell you about with that ride, like, home after you get boozed. Shit.

Ain't no ride like that, Jack. No radio. Because your homies, your homies is not trying to, like, say that you did good. How does this work? If I do bad, my people would be like this. It was them. It's not you. They went ready for you know

Those them dogs Don't trip They didn't get it Ride all the way home No radio Windshill wipe us No rain Mad depressing

Just ride Like where did I go wrong Comed Comedians don't do good They always say Give it up for the ladies That's the giveaway At that

You tell you see a comment go Give it up for the ladies. No, that they shit ain't working. It's crazy out here. It's crazy, man. It's crazy, man. He's crazy out of it. That's wild. And you tell you hear that shit.

They shit is bombing, man. But I heard you say, the night that you smoked poor McCartney. You went on stage, you bombed. But you said that you heard poor McCartney. Because I ain't, laughing. I ain't smoked weed. performed in years. But bigger than that, not only you heard Paul McCarty

laughing, you heard your other comedians laugh. That's all I heard laugh. So now, let me ask you something, right? Is that traditional as your friend to say, oh, you're having a bad night? I'm going to laugh at this. So, I'm not supposed to be like, as your friend, like, oh, and like, just let you ride that out. And that's a very hairy situation. I have people, I have people, like,

laugh, and it seemed like they laughing at me instead of with me and shit. So, like, that night I'll do a joke, and I'll do a joke, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and the whole room will be quiet. And then I just heard Paul go, uh-huh.

And my other friend, like, ah, and then it had to be it. And so, I had to just move on to the next joke. And then it would be saying. Was that good signs, or was that bad? It was terrible, really. But I really don't know, because if the room

is just dead quiet, I think that's why they made some kind of noise because the room is just dead. Paul McCartney's did at a black comedy show. They might be just as star-struck. Paul was dying laughing that I was doing bad. Okay. That's the point.

He wasn't, because everybody catered him so much and I ain't changed my material up to just kill because I could have just killed. And did all my old shit and killed, right? But that would have took away what the night was about. The night was about me doing new material

I'm at the improv all the time and doing new material in the lab room the little room so I wasn't going to let Paul take away from me doing what I was there to do you know what I mean and I think he felt it that I wasn't trying to appease him because I brought him on stage

at the end of the night I told everybody why I did bad I was like man I smoked with this dude I ain't smoked in 13 years and performed I was like and he got me all fucked up and I was like Paul come up here Paul came, no, Paul Paul came up there

and I just was like putting them in the headlock and punching them and shit like you got me high, hi. Did he have diorrainer on? No, but most people would be like this. Right, right. When I'm like this, motherfucker. You know what I mean? And I think he

appreciated them. Like, yo, it's a real moment. Somebody treating him real. You know what I mean? But yeah, I bombed tremendously getting high with him. or whatever, yeah. Makes some noise to get high. Yeah. Paul McCartney in real.

You all see a good? I mean, like, I haven't seen them since then, but that night, yeah, we didn't switch numbers and shit. But that night, man, we hung, hung. It was crazy. I'm like, man, this is fucking Paul McCartney. Did he have security? No.

He had one dude with him. This dude named Mike that run with him. It was just him and Mike. Was he the roller? Did he roll the blunt? Yeah, he was already rolled. Okay, it was already rolled. He just pulled it out.

Already been wrong. Already been wrong. You already been wrong. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if Paul McCartner had, Joe, did that join lace, though? You ever thought about that? Nah, it wasn't laced.

I could have smelled. I smelled it. He was smoking it before I smoked. What does that? He had some gas. He had gas, dog. He had real gas. Got you.

Paul had gas, Jack. He won't fucking around. I'm sure. It's negative, man. This is the most positive thing. I'm like, please do not put it in the intentions anywhere in the middle.

Even if it was, Lacey. See that. At this point, at this point, at this point, we're going to let this rock that's the best story I've ever Paul McCartney King. You're interested for that.

Paul real. All right. Yes. Mike Epps or Chris Tucker? Ooh. I love them both, but I've been knowing Mike Longer and Chris, so I'm just going to say that.

I think Chris, Chris is one of the most phenomenal talents that we have. I've just been knowing Mike forever. Legendary shit. Yeah, that's just... My man Mike. Mike was just at my house, too, a couple... A few weeks ago and shit.

So shout out to Mike Apps. You bought Big Boy House. I did. I bought Big Boy's house, yeah. In Atlanta? In Los. No, in L.A. But Big Boy from L.

No, Big Boy from... What's Big Boy? On the radio in L.A. Big Boy, right from radio. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Big Boy. Oh, Big Boy, that's not big at all. No, not no more.

Yeah. No, used to be Big Boy. Yeah, yeah. You sold it for a lot of money, too, more than you got it for. I sold it during the pandemic. Oh. Yeah, because they couldn't get materials in the country. Like wood and screws and shit like that.

There wasn't nothing in the end. Let's keep it going. Yeah, yeah. I was like this. First of all, I had this car, right? And I had it for two years. And I looked online and they sold the same car that I had for like an extra 100, $200,000. And I was like, what?

And I called them up. And they was like, man, we're looking for these cars right now. Gave him the car. I was like, y'all can sell it, made $100,000 on that. And I drove it for two years, dog, because they couldn't get them in the country. So I was like this, shit, what else can't think they get in the country? And I found out they couldn't get wood and screws and metal and shit like that in the country. So houses was skyrocketing.

And this guy was like, you might as to sell your house. And I was like, I'll see. And I put it up out of there. Like, so during the pandemic, pandemic was a motherfucker. Dion, you were a genius, bro. I mean, I don't know about all that, but, you know, I fly under the radar, Jack. I be chilling, like, chilling shot at all day. Just chilling.

Like, you know, I don't, you know, I ain't an emotional cat, you know what I mean? I ain't want to put all my information out there. Yeah, your emotions to keep you broke. I slide totally different. You know, I don't text emotional. I don't text, I don't email with emotions because that go from a tangible thought to actually, I mean, you're having a thought to something tangible that somebody can touch and hold that you thought and felt. You know what I mean?

So why even type that shit? You know what I mean? I don't do none. of that. I slide a little different, you know, and just stay out of everybody waiting and shit, you know, especially nowadays. You got to lay low, you know what I mean? What's billionaire problems?

You said, what's what? What's billionaire problems? Billionaire problems? Billionaire problems and what things that broke niggas can't do that billionaire people can do? I mean, I don't really know. I ain't been around a lot of billionaires. I only been around one or whatever, but I know

rich people's job It's the floss, broke people's job, it's to critique. And that's what happens. There's many times I've been broke sitting on the corner and somebody ride by and a Cadillac with Vogue's and I watch it and I'll be like, you know what I do? I change the tires on that. Critiquing this man's shit, you know what I mean?

But dreaming, though. It ain't even really critiquing. It's dreaming and shit, you know. So, yeah, that's just how I came up in Chicago or whatever. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you.

Sad oligarch season two. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation.

One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Ologak on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Uh-huh. It was right outside my property. And I wanted to say something. something is so bad. Man, I want to be like, get the fuck out of here. Yeah. Then I realized I had to manage my blackness.

What I'm looking at, this guy came downstairs to look at the beach, same way I came to look at the beach. He just happened to be adjacent, close to my property. Right, right, right. And I wanted to walk over there and be like, get the fuck out of here.

But then, I remember it's like, not special. Sometimes you get to manage. You got to manage your blackness sometimes, you know. So I stood there. I took off my slippers. And I made contact with a guy. Basically, he kind of, like, left. I don't know if, I don't know if I was mean mugging him.

D. Rose is from the streets, definitely, and everybody, everybody, everybody know him. And he is from the crib, definitely from Chicago, D. Rose. If you're from Chicago, D. Rose is the guy, right? But as far as fame and leading our team to championships and shit, Mike. Mike changed the economy. I don't know a lot of motherfakes who changed the economy. Even when they do the LeBron-I-Mite comparison,

I'd be like, did LeBron change the economy? No. No, he ain't changed the economy. I could grow an Afro if I wanted to. I could grow an Afro if I really wanted to. I get braids, I can get curls, all that shit. But because of Michael, but because of Michael, this is what I did. Keep it bald because of Michael.

Because you know I got a hat line. That's what son. You know I got a hat line, bro. Yeah. And the end is easier to maintain, though, too, right? Yeah, it's easier to maintain. It's easy. Look at this.

He's sweating from here. Like, you know, he's a different type of person. Yeah. When you're your sweat, start from here. If you get, like, a hairstyle. It's like, go all the devil ain't with you. Yeah. It's silly.

It's fair. But who was the last time you had a hairstyle? Man, I had my shit like, like, in 2020. Back in 2020. Back in 2020, 20 years ago. About four years ago. And, you know, I was like, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to try something different. I'm going to jump out the window, see what everybody think and whatnot yet. I had my shit like Junior Wine. I had baby hair all that. Yeah. Oh, that baby hair. I had baby all that. Gospel sex symbol. Gospel sex symbol.

Why? Because it's a girl? Because it's a girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's the superhero's name? That's what the superhero's name. He's a blind comic, right? But by a day, he fights crime.

Can the dog see? The dog Wait, there's a dog Can't see? We're a dog Yeah, he's got a dog Oh, dog named bitch. The bitch can see.

The bitch, oh, the bitch, okay. The bitch can definitely see. Okay. But if he loses the dog or the cane, then that's when he's most vulnerable. That's like his cribbing night. He has to have his cane and his dog.

So can the dog voice be, Stevie Wonder? I like it. The dog. I like it. Matter of fact. The dog has a voice. Matter of fact, the dog nickname is my shirt.

or more? And what did you think? This is getting so weird right now. I have no idea where we do. He said it's blind witching is the name of a superhero. A terrible superhero name is. It's too. It's too. It's a blind witness? Blind witness?

Jay Z. Shout out to Kane now. Yep. Good. Kat Williams or Jamie Fox? Shucks. Jamie is so underrated. He probably one of the most underrated

people on the planet. I mean, he's phenomenal. We all know that, but he's more phenomenal than his phenomenal. Like, he's great. I don't know. You just, we dig this. Oh, man.

Oh, shit. I forgot. I thought you wasn't drinking them. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. That's a woman. That's a woman, right? Yes, man.

Yeah, J.B. Shows. They had a whole family called the blacks. Yeah. I mean, not. Yeah, exactly. Kee and they did it during, not COVID. Come on. Katrina.

Talk your shit. Hurricane Katrina. Yeah. And Viva Kavats was dating the Yala for one for, like, yeah. Gave him something a little bit of that thing and then broke out. She was just Larry David. Yeah, she was dating Larry David. No, in the episodes.

Oh, no. Oh, man. Jesus. The lyrics from her rumor. Do you see that? You see that? Do you see that? Mr. D.

That guy I got to dress you, you, right. So, you know, any nominated Mr. D. on Cole. Do you see how these fucking motherfuckers? He was ready to start the room. I was like, yo, why? My bad. Last one, go give him the last one. Last one, I'm not going to give you, I'm not going to interrogate the witness.

I'm not going to lead you towards the way. That's what I meant to say. Loyalty or respect. loyalty loyalty will gain respect you know if you're loyal to me I respect you

me respecting you without loyalty would take away the respect right yeah loyalty so let me ask you because I've been wanting to get this off my my chest

since earlier, right? I believe we all spoke about how sometimes we don't work together. Like, I believe we started with the blackish, right? We were saying, like, blackish, like, if guys would have came together. So I'm saying moving forward, right? Like, we just had Jesse Herrera.

Damn, you know I don't know how to pronounce the last name. I love that. I love that. I love that. And then we just had Ulysses. And then I got my boy Spiff TV, right? and I want to do this underground comedy, right?

Call handballs. Balls or handball? Yeah, I want to throw the S in there. Yeah, I want to throw the ass in there. I want people to be like, oh, it's flagrant, it's cool. Don't watch this shit, right? But immediately, I realized that ham ball,

that actual sport, is predominantly by Latinos, right? Mm-hmm. In a great ratio, right? But how do I do this? Immediately, I said, you know what? I want to bring Chris Brinster. Shout out to Chris.

Immediately, I was like, yo, I hate Chris Brinster. I was like, yo, if I need something to black it up, I don't know if he never played handball in his life. I don't know if he even. can relate to the Puerto Rican Latin culture that's mixed with the black culture. That's the New York thing, right? Right.

The thing that I'm trying to do. But automatically, I wanted to pick somebody that I know that can translate the message that I'm trying to deliver. Is that me being naive or is that me being smart? No, it's you being smart. Okay, definitely, absolutely. Okay, yeah.

It's giving them a come on. I hit him, I bothered him immediately on a Sunday 4 a.m. I didn't care. I was like, he was like, he'll know, he, whatever you want me to do. No, no, he's the guy for it, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, Chris, Chris is, don't get no better. Chris, Chris, don't never be off. Like, he's always on.

Sharp, super sharp. Roast master. Man, that motherfucker, yeah, he put it together. You said roast master? He can roast your ass. He like the darn rickles of our time. But he has, like, material, like, he can sit right here. he can tell you a gazillion stories and anything you say he's going to tag that shit like this

like in a heartbeat yeah yeah anytime i do like some type of award show or something like that anything that i'm hosting or something i uh definitely call chris to come help me out okay yeah because immediately i was like yo you know what i i feel like i could provide the part of the latin part and then uh you know along with the other people that i have but i was like you know what I had to put some spice on, because if you're a black person that played handball, you was an elite black person.

That means that you knew both coaches, meaning you knew the Mexican culture, you knew the Puerto Rican culture, you knew the Ecuadorian culture, you knew the Honduras culture, you knew the Nicaraguan culture, and you knew how to write graffiti in such. Yeah.

So I wanted to do that. But what I said is, okay, I got everything that the Latin part could, like, and I was like, yo, how can I make, this. I'm sorry because I'm you know, I can say this. Everybody else fall back. I got a nigga this

shit up a little bit. Because I'm black and Lantino. I'm Puerto Rican, but I don't represent just Puerto Rico. I represent the whole Latin thing. Then I represent Ghana. I represent all the black shit too. So I said all right. And Chris Spencer was the

only person. I thought of. And I hear him, I know whatever time I him. He was like Norway's out of his fucking mind. And I was like, yo, how fast can you write a script?

And he was like, it depends on you know, whatever he said, that's between me and him. But I was like, I want you to do it this way and like that. Uh-huh. But he knew what I mean. Oh, no, no. He definitely would get that shit popper, definitely.

And he is definitely the guy for you, definitely. Yeah. So God comes down to you. Mm-hmm. And God says, man, I want you to save humanity. So I got three choices for you.

I got a person that's going to direct your movie. I got a person that's going to write your movie. I got a person that's going to produce your movie. But your movie and who you pick is on you. This is God.

G-O-D. You're going to save a man. Who are you picking? Thresi. Three. That's 13. He didn't know that. Relax.

I didn't know that. Check him out. I sounded fucking great. You fucking, come on. Leave me the fucking alone. That's all right. Let's too let the comments kill me. Not y'all.

Who am I getting to do the movie? Okay, yeah. Let's start. Hold on. Let me reiterate this shit. God comes down. He's like, he like, you know, y'all niggas is out. Saug and tacos.

This is God talking? Yeah, God is, God is unique. God come down. He got, he got the jewelry on, too. He got the, he got the Richard Millie, you know what I mean? Garla, yo, man, I'm going to give you a chance to save humanity, the director, the producer, the writer. And the writer. Now, I'm going to give you a way out.

No, no, no. No, no, no. Let me let you take. I was going to get your way out, but no. Close the door. Yeah, because I was going to give him the easiest way out, but, okay. Let's see who you're going. God, God.

And I got to pick the three. Oh, this is all you. Right. If you save humanity, it's all on you. You're in the book of Bibles forever. Yeah. But if you fuck up, you're in the purgatory, y'all. You out there with Shetong.

Okay. A writer that I would get would be Malikas. Malikas. I love him. I would get Malikas. Yeah. Okay. He writes on neighbors with Sedgri and Santana.

Neighbors? Neighborhood. The neighborhood. The neighborhood. Yeah. Malikas is one of the greatest. So, neighborhood, that's all we have. Yeah, I would get him to write.

I would get him to write it. Produce it. I would get, I would get James Samuel. James Samuel did, the heart of they fall. Oh, on the cowboy movie, the Jay Z and the Rock Nation. Yeah, yeah, phenomenal. I would get him. And then for, for, uh, for, uh, what was the other one?

It was right. Our director, I would get, uh, because what do you pick just so far? I got writer and producer. Okay, now it's director. Director, probably, uh, Coogler. Brian? Yeah. Right?

That's what, that's what, that's what, that's what, or Antoine Fuqua. Oh, how about, how about this? Let me throw your life rap. How about they collaborate together? How about that? I like it. You just get you mad at you. That's all right.

That's, uh... Come on with that shit, Norton. Because she's a great question, dog. Because you know why? I'm gonna be honest with you. No, no, I'm gonna be honest with you. I mean, you look good, too, bro. You look real good.

This is getting weird, man. You're going to get weird, man out there. Go ahead. So you look at that place. No, no, no, no, no, but let me be serious for a second. Um, that story, me hearing y'all talk about blackish. You know, you're all comedians. So me hearing y'all individually talk about it

or in the, like, little specks that you have makes me laugh. But me being human makes me not laugh. Yeah. Me being human says, damn, I wish we could have did that because that's exactly what Wu-Tang did, right? Right. Well, Teng essentially signed to loud records. Right.

And then said, but I'm, we're all going to come together and you're going to go over here. You're going to go over here. You're going to go over here. Mm-hmm. Because from Blackish, you went to Grownish. You was on Grownish, too, right? Yeah, but I was doing Grownish while I was doing Blackish. Kenya Bearish, shout out to Kenya Bears.

Shout out to Anthony Anderson. Peter Barris, if we heard you just. signed a deal with a vault. Let's make it out. Yeah, when it started, when they started grownish, they came over to me and was like, yo, we're going to start this show. It's going to be almost like a different

world, but it's going to be with kids and we're going to use Yara. Shout out to Yara Shihadi. He was like, yeah, I think we're going to have you come over there just to make sure that it's, that it take off and it's funny and shit, you know. And I was like,

this. How I'm going to be on that show and this show? He was like, well, we're going to... Roleness and on Black. Yeah, he's like, we're going to make it happen. We're going to make it happen. So they made me like a professor. Because in certain colleges, if you start some type of class or whatever, you could become a professor of your own, you know what I mean?

You can just have your own class or whatever. So he was like, we'll have that. And that's what you will be in order for you to still do both shows or whatever. And I was like, all right, so we did it. took off and, man, I did about four years over there at Grownish and then left and then still was doing Blackish at the same time and just going back and forth, you know what I mean? So, yeah, that was a crazy time at that time. I was doing like three different shows at that time.

Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russia millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious

deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Ologac on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm I'm Ida Gomes Rajan. And on our podcast, Hungry for History, we mix two. of our favorite things, food and history.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Ostercon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the Ostercon. And because we've got a very Mikaasa esucasa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through,

of the Gulf of Mexico, not of America. No, the Gulf of Mexico. Continuano are so forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform,

they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio

I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi World the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading?

That's us taking hold of our life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s,

and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s. Listen to Jenna World on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, one of my favorite things is, um, you're talking to the fat people in the audience. Who, me? Yeah. Uh, about.

You exited that? Yeah. Is that harm you? Right. No, because you, you looked at one point, he was like, stop eating that shit. That's it. That resonated to me.

You're legend. Dog, gospel sex symbol is hilarious, dog. I can't. do this right now. And I don't even know I don't ask you to you to be here now. It's booty cat. Booty cat. Yeah. Hilarious.

Thank you, bro. This mean the world to me really. No, for real. I miss my twin. I'm so happy to be here with y'all right now. For you to say that to me because I know you had never seen me before in real life

and whatnot. You had never seen him neither. Big fan. In the most respectful way. Yeah, no, no, no, I mean, keep, keep doing what you doing, man. Man, I appreciate that and keep doing what you doing, though. You are hilarious, and it's what makes you funny, man.

Everybody's unique in their own way, and what makes you funny to me is the sincerity. I mean, you almost, it's like you don't mean no harm. You just say it what you're saying, and that's what makes you unique and dope. and, you know, that's that perspective. Because there's a lot of people out here that's funny, but I can't quote one of their jokes

because that's all they are. It's funny, and their personality is in there. So that's why I've, I'll remember, I keep repeating the shit you said because it's funny. I love one of your skits with your friends. Don't cut this out, Norris. Hold on, hold on. I need this.

I flew here for this. It's only a Jamaican, nigga, that cuts the two. Okay. I flew in for this shit. Damn, I had this shit so down back. What the fuck? You fuck me up. I said I wasn't going to cry today.

I said I wasn't going to cry, man. Yeah, keep going. Go ahead, Nora. No, I was fucking, I had it sewed down back and you fucked me up. Oh, man, I love you so much, man. Noor, thank you for inviting me here, man. I mean, boy, I'll give you the rest of my eye

for this opposite. I don't know how to repay you, man. He said that to me. In front of people, this going to be on, people going to see it. I'm dead serious, dog. I hope you blow. I mean, you already blew up because you're fucking in my head, God.

And, man, you're fucking a thumb. So you already. large but just man don't stop being sincere because that's unique and i don't see that often and people that's funny so keep that dark because that's man you can go far with that just be sincere and be just what you are and i promise you you're gonna these doors gonna open for you on for real i see it i can feel it you feel like hugging i give you a hug yeah i'll get you a hug yeah i'll get you Ah, there you come, buddy. Oh.

Oh. Oh, no more hugs. No more hugs. Let's learn. Yeah, I got a little too close. All right. And this is one maybe this is the last question, right? Mm-hmm.

I think I touched on it earlier, right? but I kind of like want to be like not serious but a little serious with this right so that's what's right now right I suppose it's a person this person leaves out falls down and dies or gets hurt right most of us will sit back and say oh okay if it's funny as the person tripped we'll say ah that was funny right If it's not funny, and they tripped in a way where it's, oh, it's horrific, they'd be like, oh, shit, are you okay? Like, whatever, whatever.

But that's normal people. A comedian has to find something comedic out of everything. That's what I love about comedians, right? From Marlon Wayne, from every time I see Marlon Wayne, one of the ways to jump out and just, he'll just rank, on my friend. Shout out to my man, Marlon. He'll just rank on my friend Sunny Dee.

He'll look at Sunny Dee. He knows Sunny Dee could take it. That's him over there. That's him over there. And Marlon was just look at him and be like, he won't necessarily rank on me, but he'll reckon somebody coached to me.

And he'll just give it to him. Mm-hmm. And what was I'm saying? The Too Soon part? No, you're saying they'd find something funny out of tragedy. So, yeah, that's the part of trying to think. It was so many different tragedies, right? And I looked to comedians to make these tragedies

kind of make fun of it, but not fun of it. Make light of it. But make light of it, right? So many of them. Like, I went to a Kevin Hart show. Who the fuck is here? Was you there, Sonny? We went to in L.A.?

In LA, remember this shit? And Kev, remember he gave out the pieces? I'm the one of the... Oh, yeah, I think so. He gave out virtual pizzas at first. This shit was not real. I was like, I'm from New York City. Don't tell me you got a pizza with me.

And then you give me out of a fucking circle. Whatever, like, do you like the jokes? No, nigger, I won the pizza. So what I'm saying is for comedians. right it was so lost right

what was I saying before that because I'm trying to make this point you were just trying to say how they

find humor that's important this is important that's important that's being okay my bad

so do all these travesties that happened how the fuck do you make humor and like

Like I said, too soon, remember? Too soon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, if somebody dies tomorrow, like, there's actually some comedian somewhere that's going to be like, he mixed his fencing all wrong. He's like, what the fuck did he just say? Uh-huh, right, right, right, right.

I asked the question, is it going too far, ever too far? Uh, I asked that. It just all depends, man. You know, you got to try it out. You got to go try that shit out in front of some people. You know what I mean? If you rub them wrong way, then you know. Then if you don't, then you don't.

But there's a lot of people that really go far, and that's part of the act and shit. You know, one of my guys, man, I started with him and shit. Corey Holcomb started with him in Chicago. So, Corey is one of the most offensive people in the game. And bitches come to see him. But it's so funny that you can't even... You can't even trip over what he's saying because it's so funny. It's like he about the only person I know who can be that offensive.

And that funny. He's funny. And it's like, you're not even offended because you know it's not you. People who are offended, they come in a comedy club all fucked up anyway. They come in there, being upset and feeling some kind of way. When it's like, you don't, if that shit don't apply to you, then they don't apply to you. You can laugh at it. You know what I mean?

You know, whatever he's saying. But he's probably one of the only guys that I know who can just be like that without no holes bar. You know what I mean? But myself, I have to like, I have to weigh out. what I say and what I do and how I say it. Because I heard you one time, you said that you was going to say a gay joke in L.A. Mm-hmm. And you were like, uh-uh.

I was like, nah. Nah, I've not. No, it just depends on, like, what I don't want is I don't want gay people to feel like, like you still human, motherfucker, you know, and you do things just like black folks do things. So I can go on stage and just talk about black shit. shit all goddamn day long, but I can't talk about nobody else. I can talk about white people all day long. I can't talk about Hispanics, but I can't talk about gay people.

Like, that ain't fair. It's like, everybody can get it. You know what I mean? And I don't want gay people to be offended like that. I don't want you to know that you can get it. You're supposed to get it. Just like everybody else can get it. Damn.

Not, not, you know what I mean? Like, God damn. Jack and hype back. Jack's like booty cat. I got hype, too. Let me burn it up. I want to get another hug real quick. No more hugs.

He said, you can get it. I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, I don't want to ball, ball, ball, blah, blah, no, but I mean that, everybody, everybody, everybody across the board is even, and I don't want nobody coming to no show feeling like I can't talk about you, but everybody else can be talked about. Don't sit through my show and watch me talk about 16 niggas, and then when I talk about you, you offend it. So

don't come in there with that attitude at all. Actually, don't even come if you you, you know, close-minded like that. You know, you come to open your mind, you come to have fun and hear some shit you don't normally hear, and that's what you paid to hear, and one person got to stop fucking up the show for

everybody else that can handle it, get the fuck out the clubs. Thank you all right. Yo, I just want to say to you, man, you're really a legend, you're really an icon. You really shift the culture. You really did everything that you're supposed to do. And you continue to do it. Like, I, you know, when I do these interviews, I like to, you know, assess what I'm doing.

And I watch every single, you know, special. In comedy world, people don't get specials. Right. You got a fucking lot. Yeah, yeah. And your shit is classic. Thank you. No one gets classic specials.

Three classic Netflix. Yeah. Thank you, man. But thank you. Thank you. But no, no, no, no. You're right. You're right.

You're right. But you know what? I want to thank you because, again, like, comedy is better when you're out there. Man, that mean a lot, man. And I mean that you don't hear that often. And to hear it, I accept it from anybody that say that because this is a thinkless business. You know what I mean?

Because at the end of the day, you got to put aside everything you're going through to go out there and make everybody laugh and shit. I'm not complaining than nothing, but I'm just saying I can get in a car accident, my son can get in a fight, all that shit, anything, all that shit. And I still got to go, like, make everybody laugh and shit. Then when I'm done, I go back to these problems and shit, you know. And so to hear people say nice things like that, man, it means a lot. It boosts my morale to keep going, you know, people in hospital beds, people in jail. When they come up and they see us and they be like, man, thank you for doing that shit. You know, it makes it worthwhile and shit.

So I appreciate for the bottom of my heart, what you said, dog. Bigger than that because, you know why it's bigger than that? Because, um, comedians won the world. I know Beyonce. Girls won first. So let's calm down. I'm not going against the queen.

But after that, we need to laugh because even the queens need to laugh. Yeah. It's medicine. Yeah, it really is. It really is. And I want to, you know, show love. to you and every other comedian that made us laugh throughout this, you know, world of ours. Yeah.

That we did it, that we navigated through. And now we're here now. And, yeah, without comedy, we ain't shit. Man, it's a tough business, but we're out there making it happen for everybody. We're going to bring it to you and we're going to bring you all that funny shit. and we're going to have no hose barn and we're going to motherfucking bring it to you by all means necessary.

You come out to the show, you support. You're going to laugh and you're going to have a good goddamn time no matter what you're going through. Goddamn. Thank you. Drink Champs is a Drink Champs LLC production, hosts and executive producers, N-O-R-E and DJEFN.
