Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all,
embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart radio app,

You are a fucking cat.
You are.
even trying and you just are.
Listen.
Insane.
It's like a tick.
He can't say something.
He said, you grew up in a loud house.
Listen.
Let me tell you something.
I got, hey, Joe has something to say.
Yeah, yeah, what up, y'all, freedom of speech?
This is Joe Cracketton Dawn.
Let's get to it, baby.
You know what it is?
The Joe and Jada show,
every show legendary,
every show iconic.
And we got the pressure on.
Today's show is very iconic.
When you think of today's guests,
they wrote this in Kaleigh,
and featured part of my squint.
I like that I'm a legend,
but he's got to read what I did.
No, no, no, no, it's so much.
I want to end.
Yo, you want to get it right.
We don't want to take guys.
I'm going to lie these intros.
We let him go.
All right.
Let me tell you,
you're going to be impressed.
The one thing I can say is he gives a hell of an intro this guy.
Let me give you the background before I give you a flat.
Let him set you up right.
He's going to set you up.
Tell me.
We do everything one take over here.
That's how I do.
We got this new deal with Netflix.
It's a lot of stipulations and rules.
I mean,
so if I just give my bill burden,
they're going to call back.
We got to do some read.
over's and take this out.
Stipulations.
Yeah.
Okay, let's see if you can read this shit.
I can definitely read it.
I'm not like that you can't read it.
I mean, like your eyes, brother.
My eyes ain't like your leg.
Okay.
What's wrong with this leg?
Don't listen to this guy.
This shit working perfectly fine.
He got a, no, I ain't got shit, my leg.
That calf right there.
Look at my shit.
What's like it in the Guggan?
My sin is in the all.
Yeah.
Lloyd's in London.
It's the best thing in the Lloyds in London.
Would you blow out your Achilles?
He grew out his calf and a little bit up.
Not even doing sports?
Doing sports or just rapping?
Dodging bullets.
Jumping over camels.
When you think of today's guest,
you think of a man who built himself from nothing.
No gimmicks, no safety net.
Just raw truth.
And the balls to say what everybody else's thing.
A stand-up legend, Broadway star.
A podcast and pioneers with millions of volume listeners worldwide.
Emmy nominee.
Grammy nominee.
About to be a major motion picture star.
A man who went from the streets of Boston, the Hulu specials.
No, I was in the suburbs.
The suburbs of Boston, excuse me, to the Broadway stage
and still finds time to argue about Biggie and Pock.
funny as hell, brutally honest,
and one of the most respected comedians alive today.
Make some noise for the one and only Bill Bair.
All right, thank you.
I don't know if I can follow that.
I'm trying to tell you.
He's going to give you the rollout.
Just stay patient, you know.
How do you do your podcast?
You got to set up like this?
No, I just, I have a microphone that I, I,
I put into my phone
and I just, I do it that way.
You know, white people, man,
they ain't got to spend no money for their
It's not true.
Nothing.
This motherfucker.
Yeah, I see, no, what's my man?
He's my man, too.
Pete, Pete Davidson.
Pete Davidson, that nigga in his mother's basement
that some shit eating nacho cheese,
number one, right?
Like, you ain't got to do shit.
That's not true.
It's not true.
Like, everybody, this is how they all started.
They started with just, you know,
when it first came out,
I started doing the podcast in the late 2000s.
You actually called up a phone service.
Wow.
And recorded your phone call.
Yeah, like a flip phone.
You would record the podcast,
and it started off for five minutes,
and it became 10,
and then people started writing in and that type of stuff.
And then most people moved on to this,
having like a studio or something.
But I didn't want to have a guest
because I didn't want to deal with people,
you know, artists being like,
oh, was that today?
Blah, blah, blah.
And then I got to like, you know,
you know, just do all this.
extra work and stuff.
And I already got enough shit in my life.
So I just wanted to keep it simple.
And I also like doing it like more like underground type of thing, you know,
where it's just whatever I say I say and then I don't edit it.
You know, I didn't want it to be a bunch of work.
So I never progressed.
If I have a guest, we go into a studio.
But if it's just like I did one this morning, I just did it in the hotel room.
It's easy.
Got the, I like that.
Get it done wherever you at.
Yeah. And plus Netflix never came to me going, you know what?
We want you to spend the bag. Yeah, we want you to be, yeah, I've never, I've never.
We spend the bag, you know, we spend the bag, you know, motherfuckers hitting us from all over.
Officially, everybody that works for us got to connect with Jordan, new balance.
There's the fucking two-time of felon. They sending them new balance now from them penny loafers.
Kelly come in with the new Travis shit on. Everybody got new shit on their feet out here.
This fucking, apparently they're getting seated by all the top brands in the country
because they work on the Joe and Jada show.
Yeah, but then with that comes stipulations, as he said, and I can't deal with that.
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
I don't like any bit of Bill's time, but I want to know what happened to you at the casino this weekend
because they call me the Indians.
They say, your partner, man, he don't want to get off the table, man.
What was it, man?
What was the atmosphere?
and why they, he started, he had a hard about,
my free time, I like to play Blackjack.
It's not a problem.
I'm not, why you, why you, I lost my shirt.
Lost your shirt.
And I had to stay another day and get my shirt back.
You got a bad guy.
The motherfucker go.
I don't gamble, right?
I don't gamble for the sake of the show.
Life's a game.
And you get that.
You know, if the most high wage you walk,
He sounds like that guy that gets prostitutes
who goes like, you're paying for it anyway.
You are.
No, there's a difference.
Technically you are.
A larger amount.
When you do it at home,
when you pay for it at home,
you're paying a large amount.
Now I got a 19-year-old daughter.
I'm paying twice.
What are you talking about?
This shit is this bag.
You should be in the clear at 19, right?
Hell no.
It just started 19.
In the clear port.
Fuck out of here.
These people, man.
Are you crazy?
I got one nephew now.
He says he's not going to move.
He's a hoarder.
And my, in my, yeah, my name's on this shit.
I tell him, y'all, John, John, it's time you got to get up out, you know what I'm saying?
Get a job, do something.
He's talking about he knows his rights.
My nephew's a fucking order.
He's a squatter.
He's a squatter.
He's a squatter.
He's not your nephew.
No, he's not a hortic.
He's not my nephew no more.
Today I said, man, let him show.
So how are you going to?
What pressure are you going to apply?
I don't know what the fuck to do.
I did it on the way in.
Right here coming up upstairs.
They asked you, what are you going to do?
Are you, are you?
That's a hard one because that's a relative.
No, I just said some guys over there to beat the shit out of him
and pull him up out of the apartment.
He's going to get pounded.
No, you didn't.
You wouldn't say that on the podcast.
You just incriminated yourself.
Why would you do that?
That's family business, man.
You're not allowed to beat the shit out of your family.
Remember, is that some loophole?
That's what you really got permission to fuck up your family, right?
What's next?
John Jones taking the stand against me.
Like, yo, this is...
That's where that's going to go.
That is going to get really ugly.
And then people are going to take sides.
You've got to deal with that immediately.
Man, it's hard.
You've been doing this a long time.
How hard is for you to be...
You have to say from the first one,
you have to be like, this is a one time only.
If you're getting that sense from somebody,
you know, but a lot of times, you know,
scumbags, they're good at hiding that.
So then you've got to kind of...
to like anticipate it.
No, that's happened to me.
I'm speaking from,
it wasn't a relative,
but like, you know,
I don't like talking about that shit,
but yeah,
you can get into that problem quickly.
So what I always say to somebody
is if you're struggling,
all right,
if you're reaching up,
I'll try to pull you out.
But if you're face down,
digging it deeper,
I'm not,
I'm not helping you out.
And that's what you're doing right now.
And then, you know,
people who do shit like that
usually don't take accountability.
So then they try,
oh, you changed.
And you blah,
blah, blah, blah.
It's like that.
I grew up in a project building with a thousand families,
so I don't got hit with every,
I don't pay for 200 funerals.
No bullshit.
The other day I came out to Nick Game
and some random dude came up to me.
They, yo, you pay for my uncle's funeral, man.
Thank you, Joe.
This, like, Survivor's guilt,
my shit is legendary.
Like, I took care of hundreds of guys.
And they're all pieces of shits, too.
They all end up pieces of shits.
No, I'm telling you the truth.
they all, I wasted my time
and my money with these motherfuckers.
Like, it's like...
Because of what?
Loyalty?
Huh?
Because of loyalty?
Because your sense of saying, you lawyer,
look at that, I got a nephew.
I've been paying his bills for like,
for years and years and years.
Now he's saying he's the squatter.
He's not going to move.
He's a piece of shit.
Right?
I mean, there's no other way
to take it around that way
to get that one back.
It's a calculating piece of shit.
It's a piece of shit.
Well, he's not that intelligent.
Somebody fed him the system.
Somebody told John John's system.
Then just tell him he isn't right.
Because if he didn't read it, he's not going to know it.
And then, oh, you don't gamble, though.
He gambles.
You got to have him to do it.
You already know when it's a real moment.
You need a real bottle.
That's why we rock with 1,800 tequila.
These people been making tequila for 11 generations.
That's a legacy.
That's the OG status.
They were the first to introduce a nejo.
Set the standard before most of these brands even exist.
And you can taste the difference for real.
The 1800 Cristilino and Respasado is what we've been on late.
Smooth, clean, elevated.
No rough edges, just a premium pour that speaks for itself.
You know when something is just built right, that's what this is.
Real talk.
That's just what it is.
It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations.
They remember that night's stories.
Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew
or you pull up to something big.
1800 fits every setting.
It ain't trying too hard.
It's just as that.
1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth.
That's the move.
All you want is normal family, right?
Does anybody have normal family?
You have normal family?
A percentage.
I think everybody got a percent.
Nobody's whole family is normal.
Nobody's family's norm.
No, not every last, you can't go from the whole tree
and everybody's norm.
Every leaf on a tree.
No.
You got a crazy family too.
What would you describe as your crazy family members?
All of us have our own brand of it.
All of us have our own.
Yeah, but what would you?
compare one of your crazy family members.
So what do you mean, to what?
Crazy.
Like a crazy uncle, crazy aunt.
You go to...
It's just more like trauma and however you processed it.
So like with me, I was like, I used to be.
I kind of had this miracle.
I got over my anger, which I didn't think was ever going to happen.
Yeah, I just...
It's a core heart attack or stroke at this age.
Like, you got to calm that shit down.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it was just time.
I was done with, I figured it out through an acting gig,
because I figured, I figured out why I was fucked up.
I had to do some scene.
I'll just tell it to you quickly.
I had to do some scene and I was just reading the lines and it was making me emotional
and it wasn't a sad scene and I couldn't figure out why.
And I was like, oh, because this is, you know,
I don't know, just how you were raised to be a man.
You had to like lock away 99% of your emotions.
But when I act, these characters are feeling shit
that's in the vault.
So I open that up.
And what comes out is other shit
that's been trying to,
because you think like,
oh,
you know,
if you're going to cry as a guy,
like,
I'm not crying and you think it went away.
It didn't.
It's still there.
And then it like comes out
during the holidays or some shit,
you know,
but you should have just fucking cried it out.
So I got on the other side of that.
I figured that out like,
I kind of opened the door.
So now I can feel all the emotions.
And so I have options
rather than flipping out,
laughing or saying,
I don't give a fuck.
So that's kind of like,
and as far as like other people in my family,
I don't like talking about what,
because, you know, whatever.
We all went through it in our own way.
So, uh,
I processed it finally.
It's weird, man.
I didn't think it was going to take that long,
but it did.
It's crazy.
Better late than that.
Yeah.
No,
now it's weird because now I'm like,
kind of happy, go lucky,
and I'm not an angry dude around the house.
So my wife, you know,
she doesn't quite trust it yet.
after 20-something years of flipping out over nothing,
but now she's starting to kind of understand it.
So it's been cool.
No, no, no.
Yeah, it's cool, too.
You know, I do my art in my office,
and I just mind my business.
It's like therapeutic, and they know he's in there.
And I'm just minding my business.
I think she got a good setup.
Nowadays, I don't trust nobody.
I don't trust shit.
I don't go nowhere.
So if that's what you want,
wanted your man in that house.
That motherfucker's...
No, I just...
He's got that 600...
He's got that 600-yard stare
when he's talking about...
I can see all the shit you've been through.
Yeah, I'm telling you the truth.
I don't talk nobody no more.
I don't want to go nowhere no more.
I go to Atlanta.
I go to Atlanta for...
The game.
For the game.
When I tell you the second I walk off the plane,
most beautiful girl comes up to me
Joey, I'm saying the second.
You know, all you had there, the door opened up,
and you got the girls that do the wheelchair and a beautiful girl.
Joey, welcome to the A.
I'm like, seek the kingdom, nigga.
Seek the kingdom.
I don't know what that means.
Stay in the Lord's grace.
Seek the kingdom.
I walk two, three steps.
Joey!
I'm like, nah, this ain't.
It's the devil's.
in the air. I gotta stay
well you know if a beautiful woman was
pushing a wheelchair you know there's something wrong
well it wasn't her
yeah yeah it wasn't her
oh all right I was gonna say that doesn't
line up with me was like oh I didn't know you
were on the same flight as me
and just fucking you know
immediately nicely
I have a lot of empathy for Nick fans
you do yeah I do
because one of my best friends Paul Verzzi
stand-up comedian like his
belief every year it's almost it
hurts me as a friend to see how much
he believes every October.
It's like that guy who just can't break up with that
girl, you know? It's just like, she's going to break
your heart. They call me Bendero records. They say
him sign a Bendero record. That's like
sucker records.
Every year, I think the Knicks are going to
win. I go through the shit. You got to do some
to you, man, because they got the same.
They got the same disease. You don't have it.
You sound like you're a fake fan. I'm not a fake
fan. So why are you saying we got to
anything? You don't need. I'm a fake. I'm a
Everything, New York.
Yeah, I'm definitely not a giant's a jet strand.
I'm everything New York.
I'm U.S. Open.
You're a tennis fan?
Yes.
I heard it in that yes.
No, no.
He was like, yes.
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
You can just tell it to me, Joe.
You don't have to wind up with three intros.
Let me tell you something.
Today I've had a thing for the white people,
but not just because you're obvious.
Caucasian, but the Caucasians
have kept stuff away from us
that we didn't know that we should
be... We never knew about
the U.S. Open. I went over there
a couple of years ago. Everybody got her
mess on. They feeding you lobster.
Benny Hines over there. I said
this shit, I can get you...
There I could be a fucking
squad. Not the U.S. Outs. No,
the catering. No, the catering
is off the chain.
U.S. Open is beautiful.
I went to a hockey game
two years.
years ago, it was the most
lit, fun shit you ever been to
you ever been to a hockey game?
No. The best place you'll ever
go in your life, but the white people never told
us that. They never say, yo, this is
actually really fun.
It's on TV.
It's on TV. Joe, it's on TV.
It's on TV. It's not the same on TV.
I know what you're saying, though, because
tennis is not even for all white people.
Well, who's it for then?
Certain white people. Yeah,
certain. For the elite.
Formula one.
those are all Illuminati
Balls, tennis, F1
Yeah
Well that's the thing
They think I'm full of shit
No they make all white people
Feel like they're part of the Wimbledon club
Oh shit
So we do what we're supposed to do against you guys
So they can take all of it
That's what they do
So they make it seem
I went to Wimilton last year
Joe if I get a worded
Yeah
I fucking I did
I fucking did
I feel like
I feel like he's on my podcast
he's the guest
I went to Wimbledon earlier this year
and like dude the level of white there
was like it was astounding to me
it was astounding to me
and I was with this woman
I go you want to freak any of these guys out
I go just walk up to any of them
and just sit down next to him
and whisper in their ear go hey
I know what you did
and then walk away
and just watch them
No, that shit is crazy.
Somebody did that to me.
They all have like that heart attack spray in their front breast pocket.
Yeah, I'd be fucked for like a month.
Like, yo, who was that woman that just can't be set that?
That would freak me to that.
That's the one bugged me to fuck out.
But you know what?
But they were sitting next to the fucking royals.
Before you came, she was here.
She's white, right?
I think so.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
I was talking about.
It's different kind of white people.
We just told you that.
No, no.
But I'm confirming.
I went to the fucking Atlanta game.
The Knicks in the Atlanta,
and they had the white,
you know, the white,
different kind of white people.
The Atlanta?
The Hawks.
Knicks against the Hawks.
Yes.
But sitting behind them were these white people,
and you know, they're like George Bush and Barbara Bush.
Like, it's a different kind of white.
Like, they don't get out much.
They just come for the game,
and they were looking like,
who's this fat motherfucker from New York
that they were allowing.
To act like a complete asshole.
To sit in front of me.
Sit in front of me and act like an asshole
in the most legendary way.
Like, they were trying to figure this shit out.
Like, you know they went back home
to ride horses and shit like that.
Like, this shit was great.
Wait a minute.
I know who they all.
You also being obnoxious, though.
So it's not all them.
I'm not a good sport.
I'm a bad sport.
I'm terrible.
You know, in Atlanta,
they built them a brand new baseball stadium.
and my people would not drive into it because they didn't like the traffic.
So then they just gave it to Georgia Tech, I believe,
and then they built a whole new one that has just as much traffic,
but everybody shows up now.
That's it.
You know, the strangest things happen, you know.
So I seen Dolan.
You know, Dolan, the owner of the Knicks.
Yeah, the musician.
The musician, that's my guy.
That's my guy.
But when I tell you, Dolan looks for the most part, like watch him.
Tomorrow's game, he looked like he don't want to stay hot.
Dolan, Dolan.
I know Dolan.
Because he was at game seven at the last time they was in the Eastern Conference Finals like this.
He was asleep.
He didn't even get him.
I said, yo, he got to be the hardest owner.
He was in the front snort.
The man saw me at the band.
The game seven, the thing is going bad, ban, ban.
He liked this.
That's what you got too much money.
He didn't even care about.
I think he's into music.
I think if it was a band, I think he pays attention to live performance.
So is what you like, what you love.
Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor Hard Rock Bet.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all,
embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard radio app,

A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care what you're saying.
Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions,
my journey from basketball to college football,
or my career in sports media.
Well, somewhere along the way,
this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement
to my brand new podcast,
The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations,
stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger.
So, if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream,

Do you remember when Diana Ross
double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people.
I know what you're thinking.
What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim?
Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast.
I'm Sam J.
And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know.
I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.
So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence.
Yes.
I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Really?
Yeah.
For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

You know, I'm into graffiti and they dropped a new video yesterday, right?
I'm not guilty for it.
And I'm the only asshole running to YouTube to see the guys who hit the train.
It's just everybody got their own shit.
He wouldn't get off the fucking tables.
I got the call.
Right?
Me, I'm addicted to graffiti.
The tables are fake you get off.
What's your addiction, man?
Is it good?
It was booze.
It's not fentanyl.
No.
No.
You worked in Vancouver.
I worked in Vancouver.
That fucking Skid Row puts L.A. to shame.
Free drugs.
Yeah.
Well, they decriminalized it.
So they just come here and do your drugs.
No, no.
Sell the drugs to free.
When I went to Canada and I seen this,
they let you sell drugs to freeze.
This is easy.
This is easy.
Can't interrupt and then go ahead.
Yeah, tell them.
Tell them what you were saying about to.
Vancouver, let me hear about this.
So this shit is they decriminalized drugs
because they acknowledge that addiction is a disease.
But they just stopped there.
They didn't then try to get him help.
As far as I can tell.
So they're just out there fucking smoke.
It's insane, and everybody folded in half that Fennie fold is insane.
Like, dude, I'm telling you guys that before the drugs couldn't touch their toes,
and now their face is like looking at their ass.
You're doing Pilates.
Yeah.
That's what I was joking about.
Nobody on fentanyl has ever pulled a hammie.
No.
Never.
They sit there for 20 minutes fucking head down to the ground.
They got the strongest hammies.
In Pennsylvania and Philly is called a trink.
It's tranquilizer.
you in America
you what when you go home
you go on YouTube and look for
Philadelphia Trink you won't
believe this shit okay what is that
zombies zombies
every time you think they're like it's not going to go
further oh no somebody figures it out
the furthest it can go
other than death as it right now
yeah you see them bring guys back to life
they overdose and the guys mad
that they woke him up like
yo that shit was the best shit
why you woke me up you fucked up
you fucked up my heart.
Like, it's out of control.
But what I was going to say to you is I used to sell drugs, right?
So there's always a piece of...
Dude, your segues are fucking amazing.
There's always a piece of criminality.
So when I go to where you said in Vancouver,
and I see it, I see shit, you can sell drugs here and not go to jail.
It feels like that, right?
Like that skid row with you...
I didn't look at it that way.
I did.
I looked at it like, yo,
We can make a fucking killing out here.
Like, these guys are letting you sell drugs.
Like, it looked like it was legal.
And you wouldn't have to hide your money then.
No, no, that's what sucks about being a criminal.
Is you have to hide your money.
You got to drive lesser of a car.
Or if you get on the corporate side, you can steal legally.
Oh, you can drive down the street with like a top hat on.
Tell you something.
I went to Denver.
Like one of those bankers from the fucking 1800s.
Let me tell you something.
All the smart monsters went legal.
I used to go.
They did.
They got to the legal side of stealing.
They went.
I used to go to Denver.
They figured it out.
The first place to legalize marijuana.
They're doing all their scams.
The fucking lotteries, the numbers,
extortion, they do all of that.
They do everything.
They do every fucking thing the mob did.
They just do it legal.
They do it legally.
God bless those guys.
These are great guys.
We got a notorious.
That's why I sucked that they caught Luigi.
I wanted to see him finish this list.
Yo, you, yo, yo, yo.
I wanted to see.
PG-13.
Oh, yo, with the family shows.
See, this is why.
This is why I do mine fucking above my garage.
You don't give a fuck.
No, I do.
You do?
I do because I don't want to deal with that because they always do that shit.
You know what it is?
You can do hunger games.
You cannot do reverse hunger games.
That's how it works.
You can sell them a movie.
Yeah, the future, five guys have money and they're running around shooting people.
Oh, wow, that's great.
You do it the other way.
those people you were eating
fucking come back
and they're going to kill you guys
well I mean that's kind of a message
that you know we don't want to put up
that's how that works
trust me I know about it yeah that's why I do it
above the garage no stipulations
you know what you came
no stipulations Joe
you want to be stipulation free
as much as you can
you want to limit
stipulations
there you go look at that
that's your problem Joe
you got too many stipulations in your life
and you're wearing it on your face
get them back
You're wearing it on your face.
That's why he's dressed in his fucking track suit.
He's trying to compensate for all the stipulations in his life.
Let me tell you something, Bill.
I grew up with shit.
You were dressed like it's Sunday morning.
Let me tell you something, Bill.
It's Monday.
It's the first day of the week.
Look at Tony.
You look like you just had some cereal.
Yeah, you think, you look like the serial killer in this movie fucking Apex.
Anybody seen that movie on Netflix Apex?
He looked like the motherfucking killer.
He was fucking killing everybody, this guy.
No wonder you on fucking Netflix.
You was killing everybody.
Cherise the area.
That's the guy.
Yo, this motherfucker, serial killer.
How you bring Luigi's man in this shit right here?
Fucking Luigi, huh?
How about the fact that whole crime was on camera?
That didn't disturb any of you New Yorkers that you live in a police state?
I mean, I understand you got to stop the guy.
They had him all, until he went behind a tree, they couldn't film him.
They had that whole thing.
Yeah, they got that.
That's how they solving crime.
It's no longer like real.
It's true.
You've seen Jesse Smolliette, fellow actor.
Yeah.
Can you just say that name?
Smully yet.
Smully yet.
I like that.
Fellow actor?
I think that's better than Smollett.
Smully yet.
I've seen and heard a lot of shit in my life.
Jesse Smoliet took the fucking cake
You hear me?
He might as well go down like poor reveal
Like react it
They back him up
He said he got beat up

And he's rehearsing choreography
With the guys

You see this shit though
Two time

You can admit when you're wrong. This guy works on
the stage. He's called two time a felon.
You're doing a live talk. Can I come
come check you out? Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
I want to make sure
100%. I was saying before we
came on, him
telling that story, the guy taking the dat back.
The amount of comedians I sent that to
all we talked about
was how masterfully,
comedically you told that story. It was fucking
amazing. Fucking amazing.
You tell her too, brother. There you go.
Let me tell you something
I hate these guys
Dude you are a character
man
No
You are a fucking cat
You are
You're not even trying
And you just are
Listen
I
Insane
It's like a tick
He can't say something
He said
You grew up in a loud house
Listen
Let me tell you something
I got a
Hey
Joe has something to say
We're here for you, Joe
You can just...
You never seen me
DJ Callan and Norrie
on a regular, not camera,
just in the crib eating.
Can't nobody get a word?
Yo, let me fucking talk.
Yo, I got something to say.
Can I talk now?
Like, we, this is the whole conversation
is Kim, we talk.
We're just screaming at each other.
Yeah, because nobody's listening.
Nobody wants to fucking, you know, everybody wants to...
Nobody wants to listen.
But what I was going to say is I hate these guys.
These guys he's talking about.
Just look.
Smoliette?
Or we, you've moved on this.
Not Smolliette.
That's been gone.
I'm just trying to keep up.
One of the icons that I love living legends,
I wouldn't call her auntie.
I just love her so much.
Stephanie Mills.
And she says she goes where she's celebrated now,
but she's tolerant.
And there's a lot of motherfuckers
that go where they tolerate.
Well, you know, we really don't want you here,
put you there.
Right?
So that's that story that he's telling us,
like he took his debt back.
Like, what are you even doing?
We don't even really fuck with you.
You know, and with me,
you know, I've been doing this 30-something years.
And we went through a phase
where we were the number one guys in the world.
So every groupie that you could think of
was trying to latch on to us,
every groupie.
To come 25 years later in the young brother from the Bronx,
A. Boogie, now he's the biggest.
He says, Joe, I'm doing this big show.
Come by.
And I go to his dressing room.
And the same groupies from Fat Joe and Big Pun in 1997 are in the A.
Boogies.
These are grown-man groupies in A-Bugie's room like,
yo, you want a piece of cake?
You want to this.
What the fuck is like?
You know, and then they say,
They tell their family I'm in the industry.
They tell their family, yeah, I'm in the industry.
You know, in this industry, I'm like,
what industry is these people fucking talking about?
What qualifies you for being in the industry?
Tell me that.
Being in an industry?
No.
No, no, get paid.
That can make one.
If you're in some type of entertainment, you're getting paid.
That's a good one.
You know, because these guys, they turn around and say they're in the industry.
They tell their families.
They broke the shit and their job is groupie.
And they get the Dax taken back.
Like, you're my man, we don't fucking know you, man.
Get the fuck out of here.
Like, I mean, it's amazing to me.
That's an end.
Just for the record, I understood the story when he told.
You understood the story, correct?
I understood it, yeah.
I didn't know where you were going with that, Joe.
I don't know where the fuck I'm going.
I just, it just always lands.
It always lands.
It's like the fucking art of me.
It does.
What's that spaceship?
The artem.
The passengers might not be there when you land,
but you,
you, you,
you definitely land,
land whatever you were flying.
That motherfucker fucking going to make sense.
And then sometimes I catch a little Alzheimer's or something.
Sometimes I freeze up and they'll be like,
you what the fuck I'm talking about?
And then I get it.
Bam, you was talking about this, Joe.
Get it there.
You know what I'm saying?
Very important.
I want to hear about the social reckoning
for a minute for you.
Oh, socially reckoning.
That was the movie I was doing when I was up in Vancouver when I saw that Skid Row.
So I did like a week on that movie.
It's Aaron Sorkin movie.
And it's not a sequel to the social network.
It's a where that one showed how Facebook came about.
This is more showing sort of the results, I think, overall of like social media and stuff like that.
And it's an amazing script.
I can tell you that.
I think it's going to be an amazing movie.
I read really slow, right?
So when I got the script, it was like 145 pages,
and I'm like, oh, fuck,
it's usually about 105, 110.
So I have to literally be like,
all right, I'm going to read 30 pages a day.
I'll get through this shit in like four days.
I sat down, I couldn't stop reading it.
I went in one sitting, read the thing,
and I went there and it was one of the most fun I've had shooting things,
you know, cool actors, and Aaron was great.
So I think that that comes out in like,
October.
But it's getting some good buzz
I'm already.
And you are welcome to see it, Fat Joe.
This is like tennis.
You're welcome.
You might be the next Marty Supreme.
You never fucking know.
You never know.
The Facebook movie might be like the ping pong movie.
You know I met the algorithm.
Let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you, Chris, Bill,
because you look very intelligent.
Let me ask you question.
I feel like you're selling me a bad car.
Hey, Bill, you're a smart guy.
The hoodie comes up. He's going to do something shady.
Like, what's going on? He's about the line, you, Bill.
I met the algorithm.
How long is this podcast?
No, no, I mean that in a good way. I mean that in a good way.
You are, Joe, you're going to get you out of here.
You are a fascinating individual.
We're going to get you out of the next 30 minutes because my former mobster Joey Melino's here.
We don't want them to tell you five.
So I'm the appetizer.
We don't want Joey to pull you to the side at this show
and tell you, you know, your old dudes to tax and some shit like that.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm in Nathan House.
My favorite Jewish deli out in L.A.
And I'm going to eat my split pea soup.
Girl comes over and she says, hey, do you want to meet the owner, Instagram?
So I go over there.
I meet the guy.
He guys to fucking, I say, oh, shit.
You're the algorithm.
you control Instagram
you're the fucking
and he said yeah well
you can say it like that
Joe I am the algorithm
this guy right
wait you met a guy in L.A. and you said
you are the algorithm and he confirmed that
I met the fucking owner of Instagram
he's the algorithm
if I own Instagram
you wouldn't admit to that
and Victor
and fucking Victor meets me
and I feel like hey
he does photography let me light him up
and give him two three million
to subscribe I can
I'm the algorithm
let me tell you something
shout out to Michael Jackson's family
the movie's number one in the country
Jada he says shit
and then when it's your turn to talk
he then goes let me tell you something
and then and then and then
then he keeps going
and then he keeps going
and he keeps going
you got him
he got him you got the easiest job
in show business you just sit there
you can say that again
All Jada's going to do is sit up and go
And then he goes, let me tell you something
I said, I'm back
I went and I saw a band one night
And this guy was talking so much between songs
He was driving me nuts because he was great
He talked for 10 minutes one time
And then said first of all
I swear to God
I was just sitting there going on the fuck you
How about in conclusion
All right
You want to know what happens, Bill
Is do I have a choice
I mean you're going to tell me either way
Sometimes you get a gig.
Just tell me what happened, Joe.
Sometimes you get a kid.
How many times a week do you get your beard lined up?
Every day.
Actually, my barber fucked up today.
It was his birthday.
Should have went to act.
What's up?
He was supposed to come to eight in the morning.
I really would add that shit.
Every time I see you, it's that leg.
You, you, you, you,
fucking paper cut your finger.
My shit, looked like 3D, my shit.
Like, when I was in jail, the first thing I got
was a barber.
Swear to God.
The first thing I said,
who's the best barber in this motherfucker?
Mawr-in'clock.
Mawker comes up, Poppy, with the fucking-
fucking tail.
You were on your own wavelength.
I'm telling you to do.
You were just your own fucking thing.
Who says that going to jail?
I got a barber.
I don't get fucked in the ass.
He's like, I want my beard to look good
when I'm getting sexually assaulted.
You know, jail people-
What true do I need to align with
so I don't get fucked in the ass?
This guy, you guys got a post office?
He went to jail like Jimmy the jet in his own wing.
The first thing I got was a barber.
The barber told me, I said, yo, how much is the most you get paid?
Because I pay my barbara hundreds of dollars to cut.
Like, for real, right?
But you said, the guy, luckily in jail, you can work a month doing some shit
and you'll get paid.
The Snickers bar.
The motherfucker say he wants $5.
I'm going to give you $100.
a month.
But when I call you...
But when not what?
When I call you,
I don't care who you cut me.
What's going on?
Yo!
Bobby!
You got to lead that.
You got to run up here.
Was that a smart move, though?
Huh?
Was that a smart move, though,
letting people know you had a hundred bucks?
A hundred bucks.
I'm fed, you don't fucking...
They know I'm rich when I'm walking down.
You fucking great.
That's what I'm saying.
would immediately attack Fat Joe the second he went in jail.
I'd have been like, yo, you got the pay.
You got the pay.
But anyway, I give him a hundred bucks and I tell him, yo.
So I come out there, you know, any given Sunday.
Bobby!
Mr. Joe, he started running up the shit in front of the old.
He's going to hit my shit a little.
It's all a movie.
It's all a, you know, it's a production.
It's theater.
You know what I mean?
on your own story?
No, I'm talking to the truth.
It's been the way it went.
It's part of that shit.
I remember this night.
Because I got friends who did massive amount of jail time in real jails, right?
So I had like a pamphlet, a preparation the night before Pistol Beasts of the Miles.
I said, your pistol, how's it going to do for me?
Because this is the first time I'm doing time.
He said, just like you live out here, you're going to live in there.
You're the dog.
He ain't never locked
When they had their shit locked down
Chef Italian chef
Cooking for me
Motsamel
Fresh homemade ice cream
Motsamel
Mozarella homemade
Fresh ice cream
All type of shit
I had a guy used to wash
Mysel
You can eat ice cream off the fucking floor
This shit was so
It's Chinese
Your fucking head bill
Burr
In the fucking floor
You get ice
You threw that in
Because you know I'm not buying all of this
What was the
What is that
You would have had to pay?
Bill, let me explain something.
You see how many cameras is in here?
There was thousands of guys
locked up with me.
Ain't nobody say he's lying.
Everybody.
I had thousands of guys locked up with me.
Ain't nobody say I'm lying.
I tell these stories all the time.
You ain't got one person come out like,
nah, that ain't,
no, yes, it's true.
Yes, it's true.
That Joe had it like that.
Sorry.
Sorry, not.
Sorry.
Bill Bird, they say I can be good at fucking stand-up comedian,
but I don't know, man.
It's much harder than just telling jokes with your friends.
You're that once you established your vibe,
because it took me like 10 minutes,
and then, oh, all right, I get this guy.
You just say something,
and then he answers a different question,
and then you just listen.
Yo, Bill, you're very sharp.
You're sharp because you figure it out.
Are you stuck doing this cell phone salesman shit to me?
I'm not buying the plan.
No, it takes people.
It takes people time to figure out that Joe.
You figured me out in 10 seconds.
No, 10 minutes.
It was 10 minutes.
I can't shut the fuck up.
I have a problem.
What do you think that's, do you think that's trauma-based, ego-based?
Ego-based trauma-based trauma-based.
You need to take your hood off, so your head doesn't get too hot.
You know what happened was when I grew up, guys like me went until they started.
right so I'm from the streets there was a time bill
where I used to say you know no pitchers
I'm in the club with all the other drug dealers and they're going
yo and I'll be like yeah no pics
nah can't be in the pics
or there was no storytelling
because you couldn't trust nobody to tell the story
so all these stories I had I would not even tell them shit
see I was the guy you'd be like
he's unapproachable
he's not a nice guy you would see him
from far.
You'd be like...
So when did that change?
Soon as the podcast
and everybody said
you could talk
and you could be cool now
and Drake started making
Highline bling.
Shit like now.
I know when the Highline bling.
That's when you allow
to be yourself.
Once Drake was like,
you, you, you,
I said, oh shit.
We ain't got to live up
to the shit.
We can just...
I know when the highlight blink.
That's it.
I said, yeah,
you can be yourself.
Fucking be funny.
Everybody likes to fucking
former gangster
turned funny guy.
That's true.
Everybody loves that.
Remember what the fuck was that movie
where the guy was a guy?
Was it Robert De Niro?
He was a gangster
and then turned
into a nice guy?
Analyze this.
Analyze this.
That was a motherfucker
of that movie, huh?
Everybody likes a funny gangster.
Yeah, I agree.
I feel like James,
you were selling them weed in the suburbs
and shit.
I didn't smoke weed until later in life.
Yeah?
I always stayed away from it.
Why?
Because this guy when I was in fourth grade came to our school and he told us what it was like to have emphysema.
And he goes, make a fist like this and try to breathe through it.
That's what happens if you smoke.
So I was just like, all right, I'm not fucking doing that.
I was the one kid like he connected with.
So I wouldn't smoke anything.
But I drank like a lunatic.
So I just went that direction.
So it wasn't until like my 30s.
You know, you can't drink alcohol your whole life.
It beats the shit out of you.
So at some point, you know,
and I still had my demons,
so I needed something to take the edge off.
So I started smoking weed.
But all the old people tell me that the weed nowadays
is not the way it used to be.
And it's like it's all like fucking chemicals.
I know guys that,
they used to smoke all the time
when I was younger in like the 80s.
They quit.
They quit because they're saying that the weed is too intense.
I don't know.
Well, I'm looking at it's,
heads in this motherfucker.
They're like...
Yeah.
Did you have to smoke like...
All the older guys who used to smoke
is the weed the same as back in the day?
No, no.
They were smoking...
They were smoking...
They were smoking...
Eat is like TVs.
They had the TVs with the big backs on them.
Now they got big TVs
that's...
Grandma can carry his life.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what happened to the weed.
It evolved.
The chemists,
they got more resources, more shit.
He's right
You try to smoke weed
With somebody who smoked in the 70s and 80s
The weed that they'll blow their fucking socks off
Yeah, that happened me at Thanksgiving
I went to give somebody a gummy
And she goes, ah, it's not going to do anything for me
I go, it's like 10 milligrams
She goes, yeah, I need at least 100
So I was like, wow
And then like an idiot, whatever she was smoking,
I took two hits of
And then after I was going like, I shouldn't have done that
And then like I sat down
I just wasn't I wasn't at Thanksgiving
for like three hours.
No, my wife literally kept saying,
like people kept trying to talk to me
and she kept going, he's useless, he's useless.
That's what it was.
And you're hearing that in 3D.
Oh, yeah.
No, it's like I was paralyzed.
Like I was laying like,
you're paralyzed.
Like people didn't know I could hear them.
You're useless.
You know, I don't drink.
I'll tell you some bullshit my wife did to me, man.
And fucking Norrie helped him.
So we have these like lunch dates with his wife,
my wife, and we in Miami,
and we fucking Bell Harbor.
and these guys start, you know, they drink for breakfast, right?
So everybody's drinking and Norris starts smoking blunts in the middle of Bell Harp.
Like, nah, we violated Bell Harbor like, you've never seen in your life.
And, you know, they love us there.
You know, we always shot.
Next thing I know is I'm getting, I'm fucking drunk like a boxer
where he's about to get knocked out that the motherfuckers on his tip-me-toe.
Like, I'm really like this.
I'm standing up against the wall.
Like, it's like two in the afternoon.
I'm like, because I don't really drink.
I feel my hand getting pulled, like pulled in the direction.
So I'm getting pulled as my wife.
And I'm like stuck inside myself.
Like I kind of know what's going on, but I'm so fucking drunk.
There's nothing I can do.
And she takes me to the store.
You know, there's stores, you don't even want to look to the left.
The diamonds are so shiny as shit.
They are the stores.
We know we can't afford, like grasping shit like that.
And you just don't look at that shit when you walk in the mall.
And all of a sudden, they open the door.
And I go in there.
Now, Norrie is supposed to be the drink chair, the more professional guy.
He's more drunk than me, stuck.
He's stuck.
He's worse to me.
They sit him in a chair.
The guy comes out and brings out these white gloves.
How you doing, Mr. Joe?
Your wife's been looking at this neck of him.
this here.
This is the
state of the aunt.
I'm like, you
motherfucker.
I'm in my head.
Fuck your mother.
You motherfucker.
I'm saying,
and she's looking at me
like,
and I see,
you don't want that,
right?
Because you know
this ain't the store
you're supposed to go into.
I'm like,
you don't want that,
right?
She's like,
yes.
Yes.
And I'm fucking,
I'm like this,
and Norrie looked more scared
than me.
He's the drink chair.
He's looking at me like,
Oh shit.
Man, I wind up getting her that fucking necklace.
This shit cost so much fucking money.
I remember Tippy torn out of that shit.
I never did that shit again.
They never caught me.
I know how to learn my lesson.
You didn't drink near a drink.
They never catch me in that fucking place drunk again in my fucking life.
That was like 10 years ago.
You're not doing it to me.
Shame on you.
What about George Bush said?
You get me one time.
Shame on me.
They get me the second time.
Fuck, no. I know I seen the play.
That's not what he said.
You fool me once, shame on you.
You fool me twice.
Then he got confused.
And then he just goes,
you're not going to fool me again.
That's what he said.
That's what he said.
That's why I always said,
I went to summer school too.
So I always had a soft spot family.
I've been there, George.
Yeah, we all know what you were trying to stay.
It's all right.

Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tap little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people.
I know what you're thinking.
What the hell does George Bush got to do a little Kim?
Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast.
I'm Sam J.
And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down,
and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill,
waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so you all know.
I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed.
correct. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence.
I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Really?
Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.
Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Tell us about the tribute to Eddie Mersh.
Oh, man.
AFI, the American.
Film Institute?
I didn't know what it. I'm an idiot.
I didn't know if it was AF1 or AFI.
I didn't know what it was.
I just said, tell us about the Eddie Murphy trip.
Yeah, so it was on Netflix,
your boys with the stipulations.
They were doing...
We love you guys.
They were doing a tribute
or an honoring of his whole career.
So it's on a Saturday night.
So it's literally Friday.
And my wife.
goes, she says to me, she's like, how you feeling about this?
You know, because I'm, you know, because I've been so volatile over the years.
She always has to like check my emotional temperature before we go out just to see what she was
going to be involved in.
So out of habit, she said, how are you feeling?
I was like, oh, it's great.
You know, I'm showing up to this thing.
I don't have to do anything.
I get to like, you know, chill out and just watch this show.
And it's Eddie.
This is going to be amazing.
And literally right as I said that, she got a phone call.
And they were asking if I would go up and say a few things.
And I immediately got super nervous because it's Eddie.
So I quickly said yes before I would like, you know, chicken out or whatever.
And yeah, I ended up having to go up there.
I don't know how you guys were.
But my thing is if I write the whole, because I had a telepromp,
if I write the whole thing out, I am like in robot mode.
I am like in my head.
And it's like I'm not connected to it.
So I had to like, I had to like sort of have an idea what I was going to say.
But what was cool was I saw Eddie on the raw tour in,
in 1986
at this place
what was it
called Great Woods
and what was cool
was I saw Rodney
Dangerfield like a week before
because he was coming off
of that back to school
and they were both huge
and they were playing these giant things
and I went and I saw Rodney
and he was fun
and hilarious and all that
but he had like an all white crowd
but I didn't notice
because I was from the suburbs
so it just looked like everything
I was going to
but when I saw Eddie
he had this mixed crowd
and this was before I was a comedian
I don't know why
that stuck in my head
but I remember seeing it.
I was like 18.
I was going,
this guy is literally,
he's making everybody laugh.
I'm not shitting on Rodney,
but this guy had young,
old, black, white,
Asian, everybody was there
and he was fucking killing.
He had the purple suit too.
I wanted to ask him about that.
He was like,
did you have more than one?
Did you wear it the whole fucking tour?
He probably had more than,
yeah.
I don't know.
Some guys wear the same shit
the whole tour,
like,
and they're not broke.
They just,
that's the cops.
Makes sense.
Yeah, you coming.
Yeah, but that's how watching him do that.
I was thinking,
you know,
If I ever did stand-up, I would want to be able to make everybody laugh.
You know what I mean?
So it was really one of the best lessons I ever got.
So anyway, I got to go up and say a few words, and it went great, but it was super intimidating
because it was him, all 10 of his kids, whoever they married, it was like the Kennedy family
of like comedy, like just stare at you.
40 years later, it was really crazy.
You know what I love about Eddie Murphy, in our line of business, music,
A lot of the icons, a lot of the entertainers we looked up to,
either got on drugs or fucked up, they broke.
You see them, and it feels like horrible.
You see some of the guys who made the biggest songs
or made us laugh the most or whatever.
And when I seen that documentary,
and it just opened up on Eddie Murphy in like a $90 billion house,
I was like, yes.
Yeah.
This motherfucker ain't get high.
You know my favorite thing?
He said in that documentary, he said, yeah, he goes,
I never got into drugs or anything.
He goes, I loved myself,
which I've never heard a comedian say.
You know what I mean?
It was cool.
So even though y'all funny and y'all use humor,
a lot of y'all got like dark past and shit like that
and go through some shit.
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
So you use humor, like a lot of times something fucked up happens in the news
and then you have a joke about it
and they think it's because you don't care.
It's the opposite.
It's like a way of not feeling the feeling
that you make a joke so you can get past.
so you can deal with it and blah, blah, blah.
Some people, you know, some people go into music.
Some people go this way.
Comedians, what we do is we use humor.
And the thing that I think is hard about that for your personal life is like,
it's denying the feelings.
So you just sort of stay walled off.
And that can become difficult for you and the people in your life after a while.
Fact.
You need that outlet.
You know, you need that outlet.
To me, music is therapeutic, so I don't care how...
You know, the other day I'm writing this song,
and Dre tells me, y'all,
they know you're not killing motherfuckers in the bodegas,
Joe.
They know you're not selling drugs no more.
But I just don't know how to not make violent music.
Like the music, the music comes on.
I just get the killing.
No, that's the fucking truth.
Last year, I left Santropay.
We was on vacation.
I got on the La Stanza First Class, this.
I threw a beat on.
kill your mom's nigger, yo, it's on, this stuff.
I don't know how to not do that.
So do it.
Yeah, why don't you talk about being court-sized at Atlanta?
Well, we do that too.
Yeah, you could.
You know, of course, out of Atlanta, this is the one time I got security.
By the way, Bill, everybody's scared of me.
I don't know if you know.
Everybody's scared to be.
And my security, I got security, but he pretty much, we feed him and we pay him for free.
Because he's never had to have an argument with one.
person in this life, right?
And I told them when we went to that
Atlanta Hawks game, I said, listen, this
is going to be the first time in your life
you're going to earn a check
because I'm ready to fight
the whole stadium.
I'm going down for my Knicks. Thank God
everybody was gracious. Everybody showed
us love, but I'm an
asshole when it comes to my
next. I got to go over there.
Damn. Why are you blaming other
teams? Why are you blaming
other teams?
It's not the Atlanta Hawks fault
where the Knicks have been.
They're just doing what you're trying to do.
Why you take it's misdirected anger?
No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got to go.
You didn't want to hear that.
You just goes, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you having a nervous breakdown?
Like, what is happening right now?
Like, what the fuck?
It just got eerily silent here.
You know what happens is some people, man?
Some people just, you're right.
You're fucking right.
Like, it's like, you know, some people got problems.
I got to fucking.
I'm just going to start doing what you're doing.
I'm just going to do what you're doing.
That's it.
You see, just do this.
You do this every once in a while.
Stretching out.
You know what I mean?
Come back.
Come back.
You're really, you're patient.
You got that down.
I'm trying to work on that.
Patience.
Well, if I had another guy that was crazy like me,
we had beef with the whole fucking planet Earth.
Thank God he could pull me down.
Joe, chill, relax.
What are you really upset about?
If you had your nephew?
Nah, I don't get the fuck about him.
I didn't really know he was a piece of shit.
Well, your nephew's affecting your life
way more than the Atlanta Hawks.
And it seemed like you had way more,
you had way more, like, aggression towards them.
If I'm upset about anything, it's that,
I hate getting old.
Like, I like to be forever young,
and I want to live forever.
So I want the drugs to hurry up and come.
I know once I die,
they're going to make the shit
and make you live for 200 years.
No, you got the shit
that make you help
the peptides and all that
but I want to shit.
You like the direction
shit is going in?
You want to see how this plays out?
Nah, this is going to play out.
They're coming out with cars in 2027
that have all AI surveillance.
They're setting this up
where one person can run the world
because their armies used to get
spread out too thin,
you're on two fronts
and you would lose.
So this is what they're doing.
Like those fucking cars, man,
that don't have a driver,
they're going to sell those to people like,
oh, yeah, now you can fucking sleep on the way to work.
And it's like, yeah, that's also your own police car.
Like if they decide to make you think you're going to the gym,
you said the wrong thing,
they're taking you into that fucking alligator island.
There's nothing you can do.
Sitting in your sweatpants, Joe, sitting in your sweatpants.
I've been thinking about buying me over the barber down there and you're not.
Are you going to own a robot?
There's no post office.
Are you going to own robots?
No, I...
You live long enough.
Are you going to own robots?
You got robots now.
No, no, I'm going to own a fucking robot.
Yo, made me Kanegi Shah.
See, that's the mistake is you think you're going to own it.
That's the mistake.
The robot's going to own me?
Yeah, that's a surveillance.
You're bugging your own house.
Everybody, they're doing with a fucking refrigerators.
Oh, no, everybody's bugged in their house.
Yeah, why?
You see this guy, he killed the girl, the fucking...
The singer.
What's his name?
Joe, don't get a robot and bring it in your house.
I haven't heard of them.
I'm already surveilled all fucking day.
They tap my ass.
I'm tapped out.
Lights went out off that.
I'm fucking tapped.
The lights went out.
That gave from the Lord.
The Lord.
Yeah, the Lord turned the lights out.
They tapped your ass.
Now, that's the super pause.
What I'm trying to tell you is that.
I was trying to tell you that the barber isn't your biggest problem when you go to jail.
You don't even got it.
Your ass.
Fucking tags.
Everywhere you go,
we're tap
for some reason,
good stuff,
though.
I drove my wife's call
the other day,
and I tried to get my
Bluetooth in.
I want to hear some Jain,
right?
And it wouldn't take.
And one of my friends
would say,
man,
you have a good luck.
It didn't go
into your wife's shit.
Every phone call
come your way is
they can hear everything.
You know,
when you got your phone
to the laptop,
my man was like,
yo, man,
God is looking out.
He tried
make sure your phone
don't go up
on the fucking.
shit.
You know?
I don't know what you're talking about.
But yeah, I think
we're surveilled.
I don't never feel
like we're not subail.
So I don't never say shit
that I wouldn't say
if there weren't 100 people
right in my face.
And even if it sounds bad,
I don't give a fuck.
I would say it in front of 100 people.
Sometimes I'm very opinionated.
Sometimes I say some shit that
I just don't give a fuck.
I'm going through that trauma,
used to go through the...
You got it, Bill.
You got it.
Yeah, Bill, you got it.
Yo, Bill, let me tell you something, man.
Let me tell you something, man.
Let me tell you about the number one ratings, Bill.
We came, speaking of the robot,
we came, we put up the podcast.
And let me tell you something.
These other podcasts, they look like fucking dinosaurs right now.
They're doing like the fucking robot man for real.
Like, I try to look at all these podcasts,
maybe 10 minutes.
I'm like, man, these guys are trouble.
Like, you even get with the program or not,
our shit got fluidity.
I shit every day, we've got a different...
Fluidity.
We got a different...
Can't you just do a podcast
to not start beef with every other podcast out there?
I mean...
My shit is beef.
It's a really...
It's a peaceful space to create.
Anybody can do it.
You don't have to come after all these people.
Now, I want beef with everybody.
But you figured it out.
You think there's only one
Except who you're going after first
I went at every time
Is Ellen DeGeneres have one you don't like?
I tried though I tried
Like I'm not going to lie to you
I'll try to start like the East Coast
West Coast
North South podcast
I tried first episode
I was like
Fuck everybody
Whoever one
Nobody responded
Like
Nobody responded
Nobody responded
Nobody waited
Nobody wait for it
All right
I can't
I can't
How much longer?
Like, well, you...
I just can't, like, this...
None of this shit makes...
You want to beef with Pete Davidson?
You don't want to beat with Pete?
You start everything.
You just step into insanity.
There's like the logical and you just...
Step into insanity.
Ew.
You just step into...
Yeah, like, I have been trying to go talk to you.
And it's just like, I don't know where to jump in.
Bill Burr...
People who really know you, they'd be like,
yo, that's the wrong guy
that give you that fucking therapy right there.
Two time. We got a coffee.
NBA talks. So you're like, what's your team?
Did you just order a coffee in the middle of all of that?
That was just like fucking, like, what just happened?
You were here, you went out of a restaurant.
You just said you were in a fucking Taliban cave shooting your show.
You don't give a fuck.
It's connecting to the phone.
You're good to go.
We got this one off.
I said a hotel room.
Same shit, hotel room.
If you put that light to see where the Stevens had in that
fucking room. You wouldn't want to sleep in that
bitch.
All right.
I'm glad I fucking did my
podcast before I talked to you. Jesus
Christ. All right,
you're going to bring up what? NBA?
I'm a hockey guy. I watch hockey.
Oh. Yeah.
I heard it.
That's what I do. When somebody
brings up NBA, I go. Who's left
in the playoffs, right?
Oh, it's the first round. So everybody's left
to the playoffs. Who's the best team in the
hockey? Probably the avalanche.
And I'd say in the east is probably
Carolina. But the best first round matchup has been, I feel, has been Canadians versus the Tampa
Bay Lighten. Like the first three games went into overtime. And then also it's good when,
it's good for hockey when the Canadians are good, even though they're like. Always, right?
Yeah. Yeah. It's like baseball wasn't fun when the Yankees sucked in the 80s. It's like,
as a Boston fan, I want to beat them. But I don't want to beat them when they stink. You know,
you want to Boston. Once I went to Boston and I had a Yankee hat on and no
fucking restaurant would let me eat dinner there
because I had a Yankee hat on and I wouldn't
take the shit off. I went to
like eight fucking restaurant. You guys are
terrible over there, boss. I hate the Yankees
like that, right?
We did until we won. And then
the movie ended. And then ESPN
tries to keep it going, but there's...
It's not the same. Yeah, so you would chant
in 1918, then we won, so you can't chant
that. You got 27. Nobody's going to
catch up with that. So there's really
nothing going on. But at this point,
it's kind of about the Dodgers where there's
sort of like a hedge fund spending like a billion dollars.
I don't know. I'm not into that. Like it's going to cause a strike, I think.
The Dodgers? Yeah, because then other players are going to want to get paid the way they're
getting paid on the Dodgers. And then the other owners, certainly the owners like the Pittsburgh
Pirates who should be kicked out. Their owners should be kicked out. They're not going to want
to pay anybody. So then they'll be like a lockout and that dumb shit.
So the Pittsburgh Pirates don't pay?
Well, because they have like that whole, you know, somehow like the
collective revenue of the TV contracts.
I don't know how it is, but like they can somehow own that team and never try to be
competitive and still make like millions and millions of dollars.
No, it's, it's brutal because they were...
So it's like a tank.
Yeah, they've been tanking since Barry Bond.
Since Willie Starrjew.
No, no, Willie Stardle was the real deal.
But they were winning them.
They won in like 61.
They won one in the early 70s, and they won in 79.
And didn't do so well in the 80s.
And somewhere along these guys came in and bought that team.
And that ended up
And they were just in it for the money
It's terrible
You know what's crazy is I'm a big
Yankee fan
But I really love that guy
The Dodgers, the Asian guy
Fucking incredible
This guy
He'll pitch a game
You don't hit a home rock a game
He'll play the outfit once you
This guy is fucking
No he's in
Babe Ruth
He's second coming
Better than Baybrook
Yeah because he's playing against everybody
he's pitching, he's playing the field,
he's fucking hitting, he's better than Babe Ruth.
Babe Ruth did win his Cy Young for pitching, though.
He did?
Yeah, he did.
I didn't know.
No, I didn't know.
The babe.
You got any of your fucking, uh, intelligent questions over there?
I asked them things that he came here to be asked.
Now, let me tell you something, man.
Oh!
Listen.
Yo, Bill, man.
Thank you for coming to the show, man.
Don't forget my tickets, man.
I'm coming to see you live.
It was an honor to come here.
I'm a huge fan of both of you guys.
And I love what you're doing here.
Thank you.
And, yeah, I, you know, this is that Eddie Murphy thing I learned.
Go on every podcast.
Everybody comes to your show.
It's a better show.
So, yeah.
Because they have me on the white guy email list,
Live Nation does.
So they just put out the blast
and I couldn't figure out why.
Because I would come and I would,
you know,
wherever I would be,
I'd run into some black guy
would come up to me and be like,
oh, man, I love your shit.
When are you doing a show?
I was like,
oh, I was last night.
I was right over there.
How come I didn't know?
You know what I think?
They have a white email.
Yeah, that's what they do.
Certain white people don't know
they're cool in the hood like that.
Like they just don't,
because fucking last week,
Mori Bovich came there
and I fucking thought like,
the best guy in the fucking universe
I didn't know how much I'm a fan of Mori
I sitting here like what the fuck
this is Mori COVID you all the father
the whole time I swear to God
I'm like this shit is fucking
no but I think that's one of the best things
as a performer when someone as different as you could be
comes up and says that they like your stuff
you know some guy from like Kazakhstan
stop me on the street
and was saying oh I love you
I love your stuff.
I was just like, all right, that's, that's, you know,
you got a comedy club over there?
I'll head over.
You know, you go to Morocco, they got the little guy.
You know about the little guy?
He ain't got about this little.
All right, his hoodie's up.
So I'm in.
I'm in on this one.
Have you met the little guy?
There's a little guy.
By the way, this did not come unnoticed that this match is this.
I mean, I don't know how long it takes black guys to get dressed in the morning,
but that is fucking impressed.
That is impressive.
That would take me six months just to find that.
Just to find that.
Let me tell you something.
There's a little guy.
There's a little guy in Morocco.
My car, that's a fucking grown man with a suit.
I'm just big.
And you made him be in the clubs and shit like that.
How did you meet this guy?
In the clubs.
But, you know,
we got the proof.
French Montana came east from Morocco.
He said he knows the little guy.
And then with seeing video and pictures,
we got to meet the motherfuckers.
There's a little guy in Morocco.
What does he do?
He's smaller than a watermelon.
They got a picture of him with a suit on a watermelon sitting
like he's on the fucking Mount Rushmore.
He's that little.
He's got a vibe.
He's the man.
He's got a vibe.
He's got a vibe.
Because you said Kazakhstan.
The only thing I can think of a character stand is boring.
Borat.
Borat.
Borat.
Oh, my God.
No, because Kazakhstan,
I thought this guy up like,
I want to hear about this guy.
He's a lie.
Go Google this guy.
That's who he's talking.
He's the real guy.
Everybody thought I was lying.
Yes.
That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
He ain't real.
First of all, he's like six.
No, he's a grown man.
Where's the camera?
Yeah.
He still looks like, I'm not saying he's not a dwarf.
Did somebody get how old he is?
All right.
Okay.
He's too young to be in the club.
Whatever the fuck you are.
No.
I knew a Dominican guy like that too.
Apparently those little guys, they like the club.
I think you got a fetish, dude.
I've been to a bunch of fucking countries.
I don't run into these little guys in suits.
I can't fucking believe it.
In that picture, Bill, he was 20.
He's a grown-ass fucking man.
Nelson died, the one from...
He knows multiple of them.
Sont of the Minka.
A new guy used to hang out with us in the Bronx.
You know who used to hang out with us, Stephen Baldwin?
You know, Stephen Baldwin?
Yes.
The handsome brother.
He used to come down to the Bronx with us.
What happened?
The handsome brother.
He used to hang out with us.
You know, I got to do a benefit tomorrow.
Just let you know if you're going to wrap this.
My brother.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Y'all check this out.
This ain't that.
That ain't this.
It's cracking kiss.
Make the noise for Bill Burr, baby.
All right.
Hey, thank you so much for having me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, brother.
That was a laugh.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all.
Embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out,
and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.

You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
