or just slide in my dm and i might show you a picture of my kneecap
i'm just sending nudes in my knees that's what i'm doing i feel like i don't have good knees
but you know they're like they're like dark and scarred hey like my heart some people are into
that dark and scarred yeah which people some dudes are like oh you that means you're good
on your knees and then they meet me and they're like she's a queen she black and terrible
tis i but i have like scars on my knee like you know people like i guess you used to jump a lot
as a kid or whatever and i got dragged by a car that's why oh my god wait what i want to tell you
the story it's hilarious oh my god so my mom was leaving her job and i was with her and uh she
starts to drive her little toyota and i was like i'm gonna see if i could race your car and my mom
is going maybe three miles an hour and i was like running next to the car and she sped up a little
bit and then i grabbed the uh passenger window and i fell and the car dragged me for a little bit
but my mom didn't know and she wasn't going that fast but in my mind i was like if i if i grabbed
this window i'm like my body's gonna like you know like a cartoon character like i'm gonna float like
a piece of paper because i was young right does that make sense you didn't let it go i didn't let
it go until you know a couple feet a couple meters yo so that's probably why you're mom's
favorite because she's like i almost killed my baby brother is my mother's favorite yeah yeah
damn mom she's her favorite we call him precious at my house
we'll be like precious well i'm glad that you're alive and uh you know those scars
means something yeah it means i'm dumb like i got the ones on my knuckles i got my elbow i was
bleeding all over the place and i had just gotten a chain letter that day that my dad wouldn't let
me resent so i was like that's why i got these scars because i didn't send that chain letter
chain letters no i don't even know what the hell that is i was going through listen i would i got
a chain letter right and uh so they say you have to send this to x amount of people or something
bad's gonna happen to you and i was going through the phone book because i was like i'm not gonna
send this to people i know i'm just gonna find random niggas in the phone book and send it to
them and my dad was like i'm not giving you money for stamps or envelopes and i'm not taking you to
the post office to drop this off stop it and i was like but something bad's gonna happen and then
something bad happened so send those chain letters kids that's a tbt right there because
the kids don't know about that now now it's like it's all on instagram it's like if you see this
post you gotta repost it and tag eight people dumb so i don't do that but you know whatever
thank you so much for admiring my uh how close sydney yes um let's get into these expertise
yeah what were you an expert in this week uh dealing with blind men i'm sorry yeah i was
i was at a comedy show and uh it was these two people like two older people they were heckling
everybody and it was on the upper east side so like you know they got some rent stabilized condo
that they working on or whatever and they were just like talking to everybody during their set
like keep going hold the mic a different way what they were like giving people like constructive
constructive criticism but the dude was blind and so i'm like man ain't nobody gonna roast you
because you blind and you got the retractable cane so they're like oh he's having a bad time
so this is why he's heckling everyone retractable cane is like the fancy cane nah dude what like
what if somebody tried to rob you what you're gonna do it's just gonna fall apart it's not
gonna really work i think it's like a button i don't know daredevil was a superhero that was
blind he looked like the he looked like he had the cane that he ordered online or something like
somebody ordered it online for him like well i mean it's not like he can go online seen on tv
whatever so he has heard on tv yeah so he looked like one of those canes so he's heckling and then
uh finally the comic before me is like it's it's obvious you guys want us to talk to you so
what's going on what's you guys deal you guys are you guys together and before the woman could even
speak the blind man is like shaking his head like no like he's like offended that we would even
ass that he's with this woman and it's like you blind nobody wants your blind dick like you trying
to be single in this in this comedy show nobody wants your braille balls okay exactly and then
the crazy thing that i was annoyed at is that it was after 8 p.m on a wednesday like if y'all not
fucking what y'all she helping you across the street for nothing listen i'm not holding no
man's hand after 8 p.m just because we friends no she's his seeing eye no they're friends they
were like we've known each other for 30 years and i'm like and you don't want to fuck her yet
is she that he's been blind the whole time the whole fucking time yes i'm like this is a he's
got blind man confidence like you can't even see your dick and you are like no i don't want to be
with her we're talking about stevie wonder has been blind forever and he has like 13 kids wonder
stevie wonder just had another baby and he's like 80 this was an old jewish man with no skills
he's not stevie wonder i mean he's not rich though oh man he was well when i was talking about like
broke dudes with sketchers he's like that's my favorite shoe yeah you were like you should have
been like because you can't see how terrible they are he's like that's my favorite shoe i was like
i can't deal with did you say because you can't see how terrible they are i didn't i didn't want
to go in on him so then i do my set he and it was like they were laughing it was great and then um
and then they're leaving and i try to give him a hug and he's hesitant and i'm like
you can't see me but you know i'm black as fuck and you racist like how you gonna be blind and
i will mush you in the face like don't do this wait he matrixed away yes he did that's what he
did he did he did and then finally he was like oh and then he gave me a hug back he gave you a side
hug oh so shady and then he he whispers in my ear he's like you're funny but if you need any
blind jokes I got you I'm like nigga I got all the blind jokes I was just trying to be um you
know respectful because you're old but the fact of comedy oh well first of all they were leaving
before my set and I said so you don't know this but I'm I'm black so you gotta stay and and the
what the woman was like oh don't bring race into this but I was like y'all sitting down though
right I had to use it so y'all sit the fuck down she said don't bring race into it yeah that's all
i got yes literally all i have is uh my black skin and my black knees he was so i was so angry
that he was just like i can't believe you would ask that we're together it's like well she's got
these shorts on the body language looked like she maybe she's into you i don't know but but he
couldn't see the sign she's like leaning in but he can't sense that listen she had like the she you
know she had a low cut shirt if you're missing one of your senses you should be thankful that
anybody is sitting next to you also if you're missing a sense aren't the other senses heightened
he don't smell that she put on a little uh lavender oil behind her ears no no she put a
little pastrami on her neck that's because he was talking about how he loves pastrami because we were
in a hero place i'm like it was it was too much but this blind man we were we were going back and
forth and it was fun but i was just like the next time i encounter a blind dude i'm not gonna be as
nice i'm gonna let him have it and he's gonna be somebody who like is down on his luck wait did the
homeless dude i feel like we're all everyone who's listening is wondering did he did he wrap his hands
around your wrist like ray charles no he didn't but i was wondering i was like how do blind men
have sex like does he move his dick like it's the like it's a stick like he's just trying to touch
things with they're probably really good at it like they probably like they can like hear when
your breath changes and they can like sense when you're into it and they can like you know what i
mean like they got like radar dick sonar dick but you know what kind of glasses he had on it's like
when you have a an eye appointment or like some kind of eye surgery like those those just got out
of the eye doctor glasses get on like the horace grant yeah so it's like dude get you some real
pair of uh homeless man shades those are the ones that they just give a give you just so you can
leave the office well maybe he had like really bad eyes you know what i mean when you're blind
your eyes are just like well fuck that blind dude i don't care he was being real confident
and cocky and he was heckling so i was like fuck him okay well i actually went to kazu with a dude
that was blind and he would text me and i was like how are you texting how did he do that he
would talk to his phone and he would text me and one day he invited me to the movies and i was like
why would we go to the movies why not he could hear exactly but it was weird for me i was like
why would why would i go to the movies because what you were doing you would tap and be like

office at midnight what you doing you got another job so she uh she took me to lunch on tuesday we
went to this place called burger and lobster and they only serve burgers and lobster that's it
they ain't got nothing else on the menu so so we get there and i was like well i'm gonna see what
she orders and then i'm just gonna match like i'm like i'm just gonna get what she get right
because they say that like when you go on dates men don't like when women order like the filet
when they get a salad right and i was like well let me try to what man is eating itself fuck you

there and i'm like i want to look nice because i want her to see that like i'm marketable like i
want her to see me and be like oh i should send marie out for more roles like this because she
looks great right i don't like a suede crop top i had a skirt on i get there she got on a like an
iron maiden t-shirt and some like jegging capris no wow like she was like wait like she was working
out she looked real cash like super like you you saw you called these my sleep clothes yeah look

to go she had the mail she looked like she was getting ready to paint her apartment it was
laundry day it was it was laundry day for her on a tuesday i was like but she gonna use the this is
a business meeting right so i was like whatever so we get we're there and she's like she's like
i always get real messy when i eat lobster and i was like oh is that why she got them clothes on
but since you got to put on a blazer or something you manager like you can't just
you got to put on a blazer i can't if you're my manager i want to know that you look the part
Unless you were that confident in your work that you could just show up in some Lululemon one-piece catsuit or whatever.
I didn't see her shoes, but I feel like it was on par with a crock in my mind.
Listen, she's going to get you all the work.
That's how confident she is.
She's like, bitch, I'm going to look like I rolled out of bed to this lobster meeting.
Listen, so she was like, I'm getting the original.
So I scroll down to the menu and I see it's 1.5 pound lobster.
Wow.
You get fries and you get a house salad.
you get like garlic butter with it i'm you getting a whole okay i said well if you don't get that i'm
also gonna get that because it was the most expensive thing on the menu and you getting it
and if i'm giving you 10 then technically you might as well yeah technically i'm paying for
this lunch i haven't paid her uh yet because i haven't booked anything but that's neither here
nor there oh my god so they gave us the little bibs and i was like oh my god because you always
see people wearing like the lobster bibs but i had never yeah so i put my little bib on on top
on my suede shirt and uh i feel real dumb because she was she's dressed for the part and uh she
asked for two fries she was like instead of a salad can i get another order of fries yo your
manager is loose i love her she's probably like one of those chicks that go to sports bars and
like hang out and and know what's going on on the screen and eat and like everybody knows her name
she sounds real down to earth she made it sound like she's an alcoholic
everybody knows her name no no cheers no just like they know her because she come through and
they're like she's the cool girl she asked for two orders of fries instead of a salad i was like
you're gonna die tonight and then i was like well let me see they were like what are you drinking
and i was like well let me see what she drinking and she got a coke and i was like you're gonna
die legit after this is over and um so she uh she's um she didn't get a cocktail so i was like
i guess i gotta drink regular people juice that was like it's too hard if she had gotten a glass
of something i would have got a cocktail too because i'm trying to match where she at girl
also it was 1 30 in the afternoon listen this is not some phone-a-thon you don't have to match
shit you get whatever you want dude i should have got a freaking cocktail what's wrong with you you
should got a little rose i didn't want yeah but what does i was like what pairs well with lobster
i feel like it's anything free anything that you're not paying will pay will pair well with
a lobster i just got a lemonade i was like that's so regular a lemonade and lobster so the lobster
comes in it's huge right and then they sent you to like crack the shell with this like nutcracker
thing and i don't know what i'm doing uh i'm watching her do it i'm dipping my thing in the
garlic butter with like my fingers i'm very so common refined you didn't use the fucking little
fork thing i had a no there was like a little scoop piece yeah scoop the meat out i used it
but it was like it's like i know you put it down halfway through you'll fuck it okay you just go
get in there sucking on claws and stuff uh and then apparently i didn't because i was talking
to people about it later apparently i didn't eat the lobster properly because i didn't suck any of
the meat out of the like i didn't like suck any of the meat out well you don't suck so anyway

they broke up a little bit then when he was in college i got back together and they were together
they got married she was smoking a joint and reading an arabic baby name book and she saw my
name and she liked it i feel like people don't people be thinking too much about baby names
yeah they do like my god sister was having a baby and she and her husband jimmy her name is patricia
his name is jimmy they were going back and forth on names they named the baby tahai it's spelled
p-t-a-h-i no so it's spelled patai no but it's pronounced tahai why you're making it difficult
for them i tell people get something that people can pronounce that's why i'm okay tarik you got
a lot of nerve that's why i hate my name i don't like my name i'm like why didn't you just give me
a name that people can easily pronounce i will call you tah you can call me tah you can like i
say you can call me anything as long as you call me i mean i definitely think that names it's it's
a big deal but not that big of a deal like it's a big deal because that's what people call you
yeah like for a long time like so i would talk to my mom about names because i don't like
as a kid i didn't like the name marie right because marie to me is like a simple ass
middle name right so i never liked my name and my mom was like well i had other names picked
out for all of my kids my brother was gonna be nicholas i'm so he's not a nicholas my brother
is definitely a nick nicks or dicks oh like nicks are like the hoes who like you know like
bang white women and play basketball you know what i mean like that my brother is that uh except he
doesn't when i think of nick i think of dick because it rhymes it's a dick uh but i think
of nick i think of a white man though i don't know that many black nicks i don't know they go
by nicholas any black man i know is they don't do nick it's nicholas no who's the dude who killed
bobby christina wasn't his name oh my god shut up marie oh nick yes and i knew a nick carter
growing up it was a black dude and then there's nick carter from the backstreet boys and he was
white and that's the only nick that i know the white one you know more nicks dude uh and then
my mom said that my name was gonna be tatiana and i was like i was gonna be tatsy i'm so glad
that you're not you can't see me as tossing no i'm so glad you're totally no i can see you
tatiana no thank you so much but you're marika i know you as me i like but it's easier for your
name to be marie people meet you like hi i'm marie they know your name they're not like
no they fuck it up they call her maria all the time people are just assholes and they're just
stupid so everybody can't read you're stupid and then my mom had another name picked up for my
sister but my dad was like ludny because he knew some girl in his neighborhood named ludny
Oh.
Looney was like my dad's first love, and that's my sister's name now.
So rude.
Well, see, because my mother wanted to name me Donovan, and it would have been Donovan
Daniels, which I love.
I love that.
Oh, Tariq is out the door.
Your name is Donovan.
Thank you.
Donovan Daniels.
I'm too old to change it now, but I would love that.
No, you're not.
And the reason why I'm not a Donovan, because they knew a Donovan, and he wanted to get
with my mother, and my dad didn't like him, and he was like, nah.
You're an artist.
Yeah, but Donovan Daniels sounds like a socks designer.
Donovan Daniels.
I'll take it.
Like he makes ties.
I love it.
Donovan Daniels sounds like it could be like a wine or something like that.
See, I could be-
I'm just drinking like a 1942 Donovan Daniels.
Well, I could make it into-
I could have multiple things.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I could have socks, I could have wine, I could be-
Your stage name should be Donovan Daniels.
Donovan Daniels.
Well, I'm not that famous yet, so I could change it.
I honestly feel like you could do it up.
I'm not famous at all.
Or successful, so it's not too late.
Stop it.
You're on your way.
I'm on my way, so maybe now is the time-
You're on your way.
To go to Donovan.
okay oh so good so you just renamed me so your mom liked the name donovan because some dude named
donovan she just liked the name and her name is deborah so she was like i wanted she was deborah
daniel so she was like oh d to give him a d name and donovan and my dad was like nah we know that
hater he was hating and they got a divorce anyway so it was like it wasn't like he probably don't
give a shit about donovan now exactly what's your dad's name tony anthony anthony well and anthony
is my middle name so his real name is Anthony
so his name is in your name but
your mom couldn't pick
she couldn't pick the dude that was hitting on her
Tony Boo
he might listen
you think? yeah he's very supportive
he doesn't like when I get vulgar but he's very supportive
oh my Tony how you doing?
Tony we gonna try not to curse nigga
so talk to us about your hair
cause you're bald now and it's a good
it's a good look for you I can imagine you
I've come full circle with this now but listen
I started to lose my hair at 20 and it was very
upsetting to me. 20? 20. I was very young
and I was just shocked
because I was... Is it hereditary?
Yeah, it is. And they always say
that's how I'm... This is an expert thing
I'm about to drop on y'all. They always say it's on your mother's
side and that's a lie.
Because it's like everything that is hereditary
it can come from either or. Every man
on my father's side and some of the women
are bald. Some of the women.
Tony's, the Daniel's side,
every nigga in that family, we're all bald.
i don't know if someone did some voodoo woman wrong back in the day and she was like all y'all
niggas gonna be bald and she put a curse on wait but the men on your mother's side are not hair
my grandfather has hair my uncle who's your grandfather how old is your grandfather he
oh god 86 he should be bald he should be bald he's there's a little thing but he had he didn't
lose his hair he didn't start until he was like a little bit but yeah i was 20 so i was like
and i used to get my hair cut every week and it was super cute and then i noticed my fade was
fading away when that fade is faded and i was devastated like i put at first i started to use
mascara to darken the spot no you didn't yes i did no you didn't what kind of mascara i don't
even remember maybe whenever it was cheap maybe it's maybe maybe it was definitely it was maybelline
what's the one with the with the green green top the green top and the pink bottom is that maybelline
oh i think that's maybelline maybelline it's one of them it's not wet and wild right no it wasn't
maybelline it wasn't when yeah so i did that and then i started i tried to pray i was really upset
you prayed the bald away i prayed i tried rogaine and see the thing with rogaine it does work
and how do i know but it takes three months and i was impatient i was like freaking out you had
three months but i was so stupid and then at that time it was hardly and it was like the little spot
here in front and then a little bit in the back well how does rogaine work it's like a cream or
like a shampoo they well they well now i mean this is a while ago then it was just like a foam
and it was like so it was a spray but now they have a foam i believe they have a gel like they
have creams they have all kinds and it does it where it keeps the hair you have and it might
go away so it doesn't go away it does keep the hair you have because it doesn't regrow things
it does it says it doesn't regrow some people were saying they had a little bit of rego
but i had my friend's uncle he was like he kept his hair he used rogaine i just couldn't i kept
doing all kinds of stuff you should have some biotin in your life i should well or castor oil
i didn't know see i didn't know and then and then i found this ancient chinese remedy that was
supposed to help me that i ordered online yes no and it came it cost 60 it came in the mail in this
pretty pink bottle and it looked like soy sauce and it smelled like soy sauce oh my god you pay
60 for soy it was sodium and it said on the on the on the ad it said an ancient chinese um herb
remedy for baldness and i was at the time i'm like i've never seen a bald-headed chinese person
this has to work but i've actually never seen a bald chinese person either that's what i was
thinking but they are like i have though i have now oh well i mean i also had never seen a homeless
chinese person and i saw a homeless chinese lady this week me too see the struggle is real wait so
you paid 60 for msg wow that sucks yeah oh no oh it gets worse it gets worse so the worst thing i
did so after that i'm freaking out i joined hair club for men now what's hair club for men because
it sounds like it might be in like a club or country club or something hair club for men you
know they have advertisement it's like your real hair it's all this so you basically you go and
it's a consultant and it's basically a toupee that is taped glued to your it's a lace wrap
exactly so what i had to do was i had to grow my hair out for three months they matched me it was
like this we went to this like really like salons type thing they have specialists they're talking
to you and i was really upset and i remember telling this stupid girl who really pissed me
off i was like yeah if i was older i'm 20 i'm 20 years old if i was older if i was 50 or 60 i could
be able to deal with it she's like oh my god everybody says that people who are 60 they say
only if i was 70 and i was like bitch i'm 20 yeah i can't even illegally buy alcohol i'm in college
right now i should not be dealing with my hair loss wait you didn't do the like fitted cap thing
yet you because you could do you could wear hats for a minute well for the three months that i
know i look funny my hat my hat the hats on my head look weird i had to wear hats because i had
to grow the hair out that i had and i was so self-conscious that i wore wraps and hats for
three months until you remember how they used to do those like pieces of sheet and it would be like
a little bun you would like oh yeah that was a thing like in the early 2000s you look like an
israelite yeah my name is tally yeah and i look like a harlem israelite and i hid it for three
months and then i got i was my day and i was so excited and i went in and they fitted it on me
And it was
It was wonderful
My mother was the only person
Who knew I did it
It looked so good
It looked like a little mini afro
Do you have pictures?
I don't
You're Tariq
Wait
I'm going to tell you why
Tariq
Because it's such
It's so sad
So I spent
This is the dumbest thing I've ever done
It cost me $1,600
$1,600
For a little lace front bang?
Dude I could take you to
Anything
Yeah
Bush wigs
We weren't friends yet
We weren't
You were in elementary school
They got wigs outside on Flatbush
I think my grandmother had a wig
She could have hit you with it
But see
i liked it because it was there so the first day it looked great they i like the style like the
girl did it i looked so cute i came home did you go to the barber and get a shape up
no i didn't i didn't need to because the girl woman did the shape she did it perfectly
i went home my mother's like it looks great so look i went out i hadn't been out i was so happy
you were like home hiding with your hats i was like so what you want to take your new uh
My new hair.
And everyone was like, look at you with your little mini afro.
And I was like, yeah.
I had a little pic out of my little spray for it.
And it was real hair.
It was real black people hair.
It was real hair.
That's what they tell you.
You had pubes on your forehead.
I had big, well, yeah, I did.
Oh, my God.
Did you look like a chia pet?
Well, what happened?
Okay.
It's so sad.
So that week, that Friday looked great.
Saturday looked great.
Sunday, fine.
Monday morning.
It rained.
I had been picking.
I had been using it.
I was so happy to have hair.
i started balding from the piece like the thing i started losing my hair from the piece wait
wait it started to thin like i noticed and i'm looking at it in three days well i don't like
if you get wigs or pieces or anything you're not supposed to touch it that much i didn't know
i was touching it every hour i was like he was trying to get bantu knots also i my head was
itching so i didn't have beyonce talking about patch your weave ladies i didn't know about
how it itches so you were trying i was like it was itching like crazy so i called the place i'm
like it doesn't look like i'm look i'm freaking out i was freaking out because there's no refunds
oh yes that's why because i already know you're gonna do something stupid like touch it too much
so they were like you we can they like come in so i go in i'm like it's itchy it doesn't look
as good as it did on friday so they took it off i had so much dandruff it was so nasty my scalp
was so dry they like so then they shaved some of the hair that was underneath it so they shaved it
and i had george jefferson like real um and then they put it back on they put it the nerve this
time it did not look good it looked like a boneless dead rat was on top of my head
and i have one of those bowling dead rats you guys
and they were like mr daniels it looks fine we don't understand what you're telling and they
try to make it like it was i was like psychologically like tripping okay was it a white person or black
person white people okay you know they you know they can't do our hair the hairstyles was latin
so i thought we had some like ethnic kind of no he was a white guy that spoke spanish
he's european english she was a traitor it was a todd it was a todd like my name is
no so they shaved well first of all why would they not shave your hair underneath
before they put it on the first time it gave it more oomph because this time now it was it was
flatter and it just looked horrible as a woman when we when you get wigs or whatever if your
hair is if your hair is too high your natural hair then it's gonna look lifted so how did it
was a mini little afro it worked okay i see what you're but then once they redid it so i was like
they were like you can wait i went home i cried and i'm sure you did i cried i stayed in bed for
like two days i took it off they peeled your top they pushed your wig back first of all why were
you so dandruffy like so it was gonna just i had a dry and i never had dandruff before it was just
my scalp was dry because it was underneath that thing and then wait they had the they glued it
down right what kind of glue was it yeah i have no it was like a little tape but they gave me
tape i could i could have took it off scratched it and put it back on i was just nervous no i
don't want to be in control of my my lace front exactly ceiling gone gone that is ghost ride the
whip wait so if you you it like it was something that you could take off yourself wash your hair
and then put back on?
Well, I could...
They stressed not to really do that.
It was like,
just in case if you need to.
It was just kind of like...
Because you wanted to live
like it was your hair.
But it wasn't going to be forever.
No.
And it wasn't.
It was only for...
Three days.
Three days.
Okay, when you took it off,
was it like a garbage lid?
Like, did you just lift...
Yeah.
What was the back hinge?
Exactly.
What was the back hinge to?
It was like a toupee thing.
It was...
Was combs in the back?
It was plastic.
It was like a plastic thing
inside of it,
like a plastic core,
and then the hair
was coming out of it
it was a mess
yes but what was the back
because the back
wasn't taped to your hair
at that time
I had my own hair
in the back
so you didn't need that much
so yeah
so that was taped too
so you had a halfsies
he had a halfsies lace front
yeah
it was just
it was just like a
well you know they make
like lace front toupees
for men
I know they do now
I think Steve Harvey
wears one
he used to yeah
he did and now he's
he did and I've seen
I just read an article recently
they're doing this in the hood
for not as much
as like 800 to 1000
it's less than what I paid
and they do that they really do you know you know they well i saw the videos there's all these videos
where these dudes like they basically they're so bald they look terrible they have patches or
whatever and then the guy kind of um tapes the thing on and then starts uh shaving it into a
high top because that's what you could do you could get different types of hair texture it's
it's really cool like i wouldn't do that for my everyday life i would do that for a role
like for a part just to be in but i'm i've accepted there was a spanish dude who was
getting the lace front but with like the spanish wave and then the barber was kind of like getting
the baby hairs it was too there was like baby hairs on his i said yo i feel like i've seen
lace front beards have y'all seen the videos too yeah it's a legit lace front beard yes as a man
how stressed out not that like because you're gay but like but just in general as a dude like
losing your hair how stressed i felt like something was wrong with me because i was so young my father
lost his hair but he was like in his late 30s and so he it was just and i you know joke around him
and i was like i'm fine because this comes from your mama's side and i got mama i'm from my mama's
side it's fine you were too cocky yep you're too cocky about it yep you should have just kept your
mouth shut and you and i would dye my hair sometimes i would put like a little texturizer
in there every now and then that's why i fell out you had an os curl all that paint you put
texturizer in there was there was a wave texturizer i would use because it was cute too because
Sometimes people are like, oh, are you Puerto Rican?
Is your mama white?
And I'm like, no, I just got my hair.
I was like, it's just cute.
And then, yeah.
You were doing a lot.
I was doing too much.
I had to be humbled.
I couldn't even, as a kid growing up, I couldn't even touch my hair like that.
Because they knew, like, if I touch my hair, I'll touch it too much.
And it'll start falling out.
And it'll get thin.
And, like, my aunt would hot comb my hair.
And then I would touch it and get it all messed up again.
And it's like, your hair is going to fall out.
Well, that's what it is.
if we just let our like if we just let our hair do what it does it grows fine i wish i had done
that it just it grows fine like i've never i i would get texturized as a little kid um and i
would get braids but my mom wouldn't let us get perms because she was like perms are not good for
your hair and then she was right she had her rollers in and she had just come back from the
salon and she was like no you guys can't get it's not good for you no and i'm like you got a perm
why are you hating on me i know you know what i mean but my mom has when i was a little kid she
had like a nice little fro she had like a little like a like an aunt viv style fro and then she uh
and then my mom's hair started falling out i mean she still has hair but it's like super thin now
because she changes as you get yeah it's damaged and then like i was obsessed with having a jerry
curl when i was a kid i want a jerry curl my parents were like no how old are you i'm 39 oh
my god what a sexy way thank you that's why i told you you were at elementary school when i was
no i thought you were i thought you were like 29 i need to start lying about my age you should
i need to change my name and start lying about my age 39 you look outstanding also i feel like
you might be the oldest person that i know oh my god yes 39 that's a damn lie hurry i don't even
know if my mom is like you're definitely the oldest person ever in my in my place
you're the oldest on this podcast oh well here i have that we got to get an old expert on the
podcast yeah well oh wait no how old is alzo alzo just turned 41 yeah actually that makes me feel
so much better that i'm not your most aged friend but right but he doesn't look amazing he looks
amazing well we're hey black people come on we're good i mean and i feel like and the funny thing
about losing my hair was i went through a fat acne stage with bray i was fat with acne and
bald no i had hair then i was like so then when i was around 17 18 i came into my own i lost weight
I got cute
and my sister
because we were talking
about me being bald
last night
and she was like
you know you were
just coming into your own
and like really
feeling yourself
and I was like
I know
and then
your sister's so rude
but it was the fact
it was the truth
God giveth
and taketh away
and he taketh away
he did
the Lord was so rude
to you dude
he humbled you though
he humbled me
because yeah
I wanted
I did things like
I wanted a jerry curl
and I would play
with my hair all the time
and I you know
I had like a little
duck tail
no you didn't
I had a little duck tail
no you didn't
and I was trying to like
I was using all this stuff
and i was trying to make and i permed it i didn't realize it was permed and my dad and my stepmother
came home and they were like what did you do to your ducktail and i was like nothing i was like
um monique that was my best friend i'm like she just brushed it she washed it and brushed it for
a really long time and it was like it went from being you know regular nappy hair to being straight
and long and it was clearly and they were like tarik it's permed and i'm like no it's not you
just permed that little back piece yeah and so yeah just that little back you didn't know what
that you needed to be bald i feel like you don't know what look you were trying to give well when
When I went to my mother's that weekend and I told her that story, she was like, go get
the scissors.
She's like, I'm cutting it for telling me that bullshit story.
Oh my God.
And I was like, okay.
Debbie ain't got time for that.
But you were like, Debbie, it took me so long to grow it out though.
Wait, so the rest of your hair was like kinky, curly?
Yeah, I think I had a flat top at the time.
And then I had my little duck tail.
And then a permed.
For three or four days, I had a permed.
Derek, what were you going through?
I was trying to get a jerry curl.
I wanted a jerry curl.
Then why didn't you do the whole head?
Exactly.
I was just being, I was practicing.
You're being terrible.
If I had done the whole head,
I would have had a conk
and I would have been all straight
and they really wouldn't have known.
Well, I think that's what they...
A conk?
What the hell is a conk, dude?
It's like...
I thought that was a type of...
Remember in the movie Malcolm X?
Malcolm X, yeah.
When they straighten their hair
like James Brown.
It is a perm,
but they called it a conk.
See, I'm older.
That's how old Tarek is.
I'm an older expert.
Tarek, you're old as hell.
But if you read Malcolm X,
you should know that book
very well, Marie.
I have the book.
See, there you go.
But they do mention conk in there.
and the water doesn't they turn the water off so he puts his head in the toilet
that's the devil i am malcolm x i am malcolm x so wait i feel like that was a universe telling you
like you didn't know what to do with your hair anyway well i was a little kid when i did that
dumb yeah still like you were probably like a cool 12 a cool 16 a perm i wouldn't even have
thought a perm in my hair that young please i can't sneak no perm i remember one day i went
to school my mom hated when we left the house one way and came back another way yeah right so one
day my mom put me in a romper and i was like i want to wear a dress so i went to school i was
in kindergarten and i started to cut up the the the romper connecting piece of the shorts because
i was like i want to wear a dress and then i was like you know what this is dumb so halfway up i
just stopped cutting and when i got home my mom noticed it right away she was like what what
happened to your jumpsuit and and then i think i i went to school once and this white girl was
painting her nails she pointed out polish to school and i was like i'm gonna paint my nails
at recess so i came home with like red fingers and my mom and dad beat my ass for coming my dad
was like you look like a hoe a whore a harlot a whore and i was like six and i was like i think
it's pretty it's probably like all up and down my fingers they made me take it off yeah i my cousin
tried to cut my hair when i was like seven and when i tell you she cut it terrible like it was
it was supposed to be a bang but it was just like you know that the doll in uh Rugrats
Cynthia Cynthia that's how she cut my fucking hair so my aunt and my cousin her mother
beat both of our asses I said why am I getting my ass beat well how old was she you were seven
she was a lot older she was about so she was old enough to know she oh she knew she was 28
she had me looking like angelica from rugrats it was so bad she deserved that ass beating
she cut with the little scissors the fabric scissors that you like the ones that like when
you're cutting it the scissors turn yes yes yeah oh no it was so you know the way she cut it was
all messed up lefty scissors yeah you couldn't even fix it like i just had to just pray and let
it grow out you can get braids listen they were like you're gonna go to school like that and it
was picture day like next week oh man so show us those photos we'll post them on my cousin cut her
bangs and her mother with it my cousin has gray hair and she was like she came home and she's like
what happened to your hair she was like i was walking with the scissors and i tripped and then
accidentally cut my name she lied that's horrible horrible horrible is she get her ass beat too
um i think so i feel like that's just how you teach your kids uh you know back then it was
now i'm like don't be you're not you're not about smacking a baby on the butt not anymore well a
Like a little kid, they touch in the fire.
Yeah, you had to hit them on the hand.
But getting beat with a belt when they're 12 because the mama's angry.
I mean, you messed up, but it's just, I don't know.
My cousin got it.
When she walked out, I was like, yo, she went through World War V.
Like, she looked crazy.
Like, her hair was wrapped.
It was like, whoa, what did you do?
Did you brush her hair out?
Like, what happened in there?
I had to cut her hair, too.
She beat that ass.
It was so bad.
But, hey, it happens.
You had to beat that ass.
It was the time.
That's what you did.
So, do you want kids?
I do.
I go back and forth with wanting kids.
That's funny.
That's a good question.
I go back and forth.
I'm trying to bring us,
you know,
I go back and forth.
Um,
I,
if I was to have like my own biological child,
I would want the mother to be there because like I would want it like in my
fantasy.
If I was like married to a man and I had,
and I would want like a woman,
I'd want her to live in the same mansion.
Damn in your will and grace.
Will and grace.
Yeah.
Because I have a mother and like,
I would want my biological child to have a mother.
Now, if I was married to a man and we wanted to adopt and there was a kid who didn't, then I would be open to just me and him raising him.
But if it was going to be my own baby, like I couldn't imagine because I have a co-worker, him and his husband.
They have they have a surrogate and they have a daughter and they're about to have a son.
They're raising their and that's fine for them.
But for me, so is this.
So who's who's the first daughter?
It's the husband's.
And then it's his sperm and they have the surrogate.
arrogant and then the son is going to be then the son is the other husband's sperm and it's the same
egg are you afraid so they're half siblings no it's not because i'm bald it's because i just
i don't want my kid to be like i want a mom and be like a mother's day be like i don't have one
because well the mother's day card would be addressed to both of you guys no that's father's
day that's also yeah i mean it can't be to each his own i'm just saying for me it's like that's
father's day i would want i would want if the mama would need we need to be in the same building we
need to be in the same house mansion you need to live right next door i see good times we need to
raise this child together that's your mama i would want my kid to have i see the sitcom that you're
trying to uh you're trying to pitch yeah but i need to get to writing that yeah but the crazy
thing is is that the surrogate gets the money and then it's like okay dash but yeah they're not
involved if she stays in a life that she's gonna have to use the money that you gave her because
a surrogate is not necessarily the egg that you're using it's just the womb that you're using that's
true you still gotta pay to rent well yeah you gotta rent the room it's nine months yeah see
that's not my situation like i wouldn't even want to call her cigarette as big okay we're having a
baby together you oh so you want a friend we i want a baby's mama right there that's in your
dreams definitely i know i want to know what woman's gonna be down with that there are women
that might be do you have female friends that would be down to do well i have this friend who
asked me to i was i was asked this year this year see i have a for this girl i met at a bar years
ago she was like she lit she don't know she was like oh you you're beautiful i'm like so are you
we'll make beautiful babies which was my line you said that to her yeah so she remembered this
seven eight years later and she was like do you remember me we were instagram friends and she was
like i'm she's a lesbian she's like i really want a baby i want oh that might be a good situation
well i heavily considered it and she was like you know we could raise a child together and you know
they you know live with me part-time live with you and ultimately i said no why because because
I'm a Daniels man.
I want my child.
I want control.
Because she has a partner, so her lesbian lover is also a co-parent.
I don't know her.
Right.
And there would be times when she would be with them, and I would know what my child
was doing.
I couldn't say goodbye to my baby like that.
I would want my child to be with me 24-7.
Okay.
I mean, I guess I kind of get that.
I would be too hands-on.
It would just be...
Because she had a friend she asked before, and he was like, I don't want kids.
So he was like the opposite.
it see i'm like too much like i would like i wouldn't want to live with you i wouldn't want
especially my because i love babies i have siblings i have three goddaughters i want to
watch them grow up i want to be a part of there i want to be what are they doing what are they
watching tv i want to be all of that i think that's a lot of work having you the other dad
and a mom that's and then the other mom yeah that's too many damn people in the pot so basically
i'm just going to be a godfather and uncle yeah i think so which is fine well the good thing about
the kid is that they'll have a lot of people in their life
and, you know, that's a lot of finances
that's hitting everybody. That's a lot of birthday gifts.
Yeah, so actually that might work out for the kid.
And I have not ruled out adoption either, because adoption
is always a possibility. You know you need money for that, right?
I know, and I don't have it, and like I said,
I'm 39, so tick-tock, tick-tock,
tick-tock, it's probably not going to happen.
Your biological clock is ticking. Yeah, but the good thing about
you is that, like, even though,
you know, you want to be a parent, it's okay.
You can be a parent late. It's not the same as
a woman. I mean,
Janet was 50. Yeah.
She also had like
Fifty hundred thousand
No
Fifty hundred million dollars
In the bank
That last good egg
I mean
And the dude she was with
Is a billionaire
Billionaire
Plus she got her money too
But now they're not together
Yeah
And she got that
Five hundred thousand dollars
No five hundred million dollars
He gave her five hundred million dollars
That was the deal
But apparently
He's been reading about that
Apparently he's verbally abusive
That was why she left him
Well he's also
Like
I feel like that's like
In the
It's in the culture
That's what I was gonna say
But for five hundred million dollars
I'll let you abuse me verbally a little bit here a little bit come on now I'll let you put your
dick in my ears wow Marie you guys heard it first balls on my earlobe for 500 for 500 million dollars
yaps a freaking lootly hey guys you heard it first on the unofficial expert for 500 million dollars
you can put your balls on Marie's face so much I'm trying I'm trying to pull up a dollar less
though well and janet jackson is worth 150 million dollars yeah so in all the time that she's been
working she's accumulated that much but then she like like i'm gonna say quadrupled but what's the
five what's five sing dupled yeah whatever it's not quadrupled but she whatever she like she
tripled her net worth yeah she didn't even have to go on tour like that's crazy i would totally
she's saying that she wants to go on tour but she's on tour right now ladies she just she just
started her tour again yeah with the baby yeah she lost the weight she's like the first article
that came up is janet jackson breaks down in tears on stage as she resumes i totally get it
girl you're going through postpartum like how are you doing that that's too much
but is she skinny now yeah she lost all she lost the most of her weight she got about she got about
like 15 20 pounds to be like janet janet but she looks amazing janet demita joe jackson uh
tarik can we move to one some something else i had a question about the people who are attracted
to you are they like people who have like bald fetishes or like i feel like there's a certain
type of person who dates somebody who's bald i like bald heads and beards yeah people oh good
i'm i'm rocking it for you um people um yeah they usually generally do like it that i'm bald like
they like it they definitely because the people who don't like me it's like i don't like i don't
do ball-headed people well what is your type i like everything i'm a rainbow fucking type i like
all races i prefer black i prefer us um but i'm open like my last two boyfriends are black i but
i'm open but i don't because like i was like i don't want to explain like lines from the color
purple and no absolutely not that's why i'm back to black yeah i'm like black people i don't want
to be like maybe like who's ester roll and like what's good times like i want to i want what's
kool-aid like i don't know like explain it is because you're too young she's the mother of
to jefferson jefferson's from um i feel like you i feel like you're available as fuck
you will take this pillar if the pillar is interested you would take it no but i've gotten
pickier because my last relationship and he was a great person but i'm actually not like
because it's a lot of work i'm happy this is the first time in my life i'm happy being single
wow because you got some coins you live on the lower east side i do not have coins
i definitely do not have coins but i'm just you know i'm i wanted to you know i'm open i'm open
it just needs to be right
because when you get
in a relationship
it's just a lot of work
you gotta deal with
their opinions
and all this
and I'm used to being single
and I realized that
in my last relationship
I'm really used to being single
and being
I'm kind of a loner
like I'm social and stuff
so what types of men
are attracted to you
are they like
people
like what do they look like
is it like young dudes
is it old dudes
who's attracted to you
definitely since I hit 34
it's somewhat younger
but it's
it's all variations
like every
I'm
I've been doing pretty well
the last
oh really
tell us
the attention that i've gotten i've been doing i've got you know what it was i quit smoking
cigarettes like a while ago and it was so when i went out when i went out to smoke i would go out
to smoke and come back in like now if i i don't go out as much as i used to but when i do like
now i'm in the club more like i'm in the bar more i'm at the dance floor more so i'm seeing more
people so you're saying you were missing all the dick because you were outside smoking get out of
here i was you were getting dick because you were outside smoking i was not getting it because i was
wasting time outside. But I feel like
I feel like European guys like
me the most. Like French guys like me.
I can see that. I've gotten a lot of good
European guys. Foreign dudes.
How tall are you? I'm 6'1".
You see, you're tall. You're slim.
You got a good head shape. Your face is
moisturized. Smoking cigarettes is disgusting.
But we have a friend. Our friend Amber
was on tour in Amsterdam
and she went out to smoke a cigarette and
this guy was walking by and
asked her for a cigarette and now they're married.
Look at that. He's an artist and his
artwork sells for millions of dollars oh maybe i need to start smoking again or stand outside
in europe don't stand outside oh yeah yeah i feel like europe is a place especially in uh paris
that that's like the smoking capital yeah for sure well they smoke inside do you have to go out
you do you smoke in the damn restaurant yeah that's it's freaking beautiful i feel like you
know what this bald thing that you're doing you're are you i mean you're 39 now you've been
bald for almost 20 years yeah and you've come to terms with it oh yeah so you're super confident
i was yeah now it's fine like on most of my 20s i didn't like people joking about it i like people
asking me questions about it it was annoying to me but then once i got older and like i'm of an
age where being bald isn't as uncommon because it was very uncommon then because people were like
oh i thought you did it as a choice and i was like fuck you like as a choice i would have my
hair cut everywhere like that's ridiculous so now as a grown man and you know into it like it's fine
it's who i am i've accepted it i can joke about i can laugh about let's talk about the winter time
your head be cold your ears because oh yes so i have to have a hat i have to have what kind of
hats you have scullies i have the scullies i have i have a few hats and i don't look good in hats
but winter time i will freeze and it will i don't believe that you don't look good in hats do you
sleep in a head they need to be fitted hats like a baseball cap doesn't look good on me i look like
i look like i'm going through chemo my friends at once my friends it was like you gotta get some
new friends yeah that's actually an ex-friend because she got in my car she started smoking
crack and so we're not friends anymore wait what who just gets in your car and smokes crack this
ex-friend of mine no how long were y'all friends oh we were friends we came we were like teenagers
we were a teenager we met teenagers we were good friends for a good five years we were really close
and then we fell off and then we were like we connected i'm like let's hang out and we got
she got in my car she's like don't mind me i'm just gonna smoke this and i was like what is that
and i nobody smokes crack in a car she smoked crack in a car wherever they want sydney what
you mean like there's like a crackhead code there's a decorum like they're not gonna do it
in the code of honor you smoke crack outside because it smells so bad yeah but you're cracking
smoked it in my car what kind of car was it and it was a nissan 87 nissan centro is my first car
well i mean that's a car you should smoke
well it was only like 12 years old at the time the car was 12 years old or she was 12 years old
car but still it was fine i wrote a small crack in that card
and let me just
yo that's no crack no smack those aren't the drugs i'm not um i remember i uh the one time
that i ever cut my hair like i shaved the sides and i cut the top real low and it was
the middle of freaking winter and i remember that my head was freezing yeah because you can't go
from hair to no hair no and it like it's gonna be cold regardless but in the middle of january
yeah i did it it was i was real dumb about it so what can you tell us people who are listening uh
something about like being bald that you think most people don't know like what's the like what's
what's something that you have to say about hair that you feel like people people don't know um
being a bald person we don't want to hear about your bad hair day because that makes sense i've
had a lot of people being like really upset and i i love complimenting hair like i'm not
like the jealous type like all my friends i look when they get a haircut i'm like oh my god you
look so handsome with your haircut yeah and like i'm encouraging but when i had a friend he was
like oh my god i'm just having a really bad hair day and i was like i'm bald headed so i don't
care but you bald like now and you are accustomed to it but you're you bald because you lost your
hair there's some people who are bald because they want to so they don't mind if you talk about a bad
hair day yeah i can't relate to people who are bald by choice that's just stupid to me
bald by choice i don't like it's a lifestyle choice that's just why you have hair like why
tarik's like i was born this way unless it's for a film role and you're an actor like there's no
other reason that's just stupid to me i just feel like you are our bald expert i am i'm so happy to
to be your bald oh my god that was so great we go i would like to know about like uh any like
lotions or different products
that you use for your scalp
because it looks so good.
Well, it does. Thank you. There's no
coconut oils really help
because I could. I use this
shaver. It's called
it has a black man on the name of it.
What is it? It's like for baldness. It's like bald
patrol or something. Damn it.
Sorry, I'm not that great of an expert on that
one. And then I use like
Clinique. I like Clinique shaving creams.
Aloe vera shaving cream. Oh, so you still have to
shave the hair that has left.
absolutely how often do you have to do that well now it's funny now that i grow on the beard i
don't it's not it doesn't look as bad if i let it a little grow so but every two to three days
it used to be every other day every two to three every two to three days do you like
nair your scalp ever no i do use nair but i won't get into that but um you know your chest uh sure
sure
we'll say
we'll say that
no I don't use Nair
I actually shave it
because it gets closer
and I don't want
the chemicals
so it works out
do you have to
massage your scalp a lot
do you like when people
touch it
I don't massage it
but what I do
I don't mind
I don't mind people
rubbing my hand
you gotta ask
I don't like people
touching me without asking
that's everybody
but if they're like
can I touch your hair
I'm like sure
I like to put coconut oil
when I wash my face at night
I like to condition my hair
because it makes it easier
to shave
and you get less
bumps and stuff so i put the coconut oil on there and on the beard and i'm like
that's great do you have any uh like words of advice for our bald listeners out there no no
no no that's not that's not but do you have any words of advice for people who are going bald
yeah yes i feel your pain i know you're sensitive i do but please if you have a ponytail if you're
trying to grow it and you're in denial because i really want to go around the city and just tap
people on the back and be like it's time to let go you need to shave that because you look stupid
and it's just you're not fooling anybody that's how i feel about people who are balding and still
have dreads exactly the same thing isn't she lovely she's balding she's terrible you can't
see that they let it go yeah it's horrible he can feel it though he can feel it when he goes to wrap
his head at night he doesn't you think he wraps his own head i feel but he got arms he just doesn't
have eyes i think he has an assistant he knows somebody's telling him to pick out the horrible
ass suits he wears it's horrible please don't do that please just you and i i get your pain and i
feel like for other people making fun of people recently balding is very sensitive don't be mean
because most of us get upset i remember when my dad was going bald he had like a spot that was
growing and we laughed and we laughed and we laughed marie is a terrible haitian person so
that's what that's about my god my mom would laugh at him we because we my parents would make us pull
out their gray hairs when we were little because that's what that was like busy work it was like
just pull out my gray hairs so we would pull what we'd be like you want us to pull your gray hairs
well at least he was older how did he feel did he was y'all right my dad was probably like in his
late 30s oh yeah but he's he's haitian he's got a strong heart exactly because you guys you island
niggas are very brutal okay they really are island niggas are very honest i went to their house and
it was they were just roasting each other left and right oh my god yes it was very uncomfortable

Oh, my God.
Boom.
Done and done.
Okay, so before we go, let's go around the room and just say what hairstyle we hate more
than anything in the world.
I'll start.
Any type of white person with a dreadlock pisses me off more than racism.
Just took mine.
I freaking hate it.
It's freaking awful.
Did I take yours?
Yeah, I have my others, though.
Okay, what else do you hate?
um i really i don't like unnatural hair colors unless it's done really really well i don't
really care for it i've seen a red i've seen a blue i've seen pink that i do like but it needs
to be done like very very well like how rihanna does hers exactly it needs to be like it can't be
you need to be wealthy and you should be able to upkeep it upkeep it you have to upkeep it i don't
love i don't think everybody can be blonde no i don't think every black person looks good blonde
i don't think most white people like some people she looks good in it some people do
puff daddy's mother looks awful blonde horrible horrible she looks good in a blonde she needs to
take those contacts out she got blue that's the perfect example and um i love um diddy i'm sorry
if he's listening i'm proud of you diddy if you're listening but tell your mama no no more
janice it's a no it's a nah it's a nah sydney what's your least favorite uh hairstyle uh those
Betty Boop bangs. What the fuck?
Figure out what you want. All the really short
bangs. Do you even want a bang?
If it's almost all the way to your scalp,
why do you even have the bangs at all?
Beyonce did that one time and I was like,
it looked awful on her too.
I said, you're going through it, sis. Is Jay-Z
beating you? Why?
He was cheating, that's why.
It looks sad. That was her worst look.
You know what? Listen, if my man is cheating on me,
I'm not going to cut my bangs. I'm going to cut his dick.
What about that?
That's why you're with a woman.
I'm glad you're with a woman.
That's why I can't be around them.
I'm glad you're a lesbian right now.
Oh my God.
But yeah,
and I love Beyonce.
I just have to say that.
Beehive, listen.
Don't, you don't have to do that.
Don't subscribe to that.
Don't subscribe.
I disrespected Beyonce on the podcast before.
Nobody came for me.
Okay, good.
You're fine.
She's also a distant cousin,
so we have blood relatives.

Your mom is from Houston.
